Unlike other bags you guys review,the Timbuk2 have a lot of variations inside and out, mine has a laptop holder, tablet sleeve and cushioned handle. Also they have customizable options. But overall it’s mainly no frills but durable and highly customizable.

[@mikesmith883]

I have three timbuk2 classic mess bags I have 2 med bags with I don't get because one is bigger than the other ? Ive taken one to work throw all my gear in it it work fine and dandy the other medium one I used it to deliver stuff and I had to deliver some school supplies to a student and some folder's didn't fit easily ? The Xtra small one I gave it to my daughter and she takes it all over and all the things she can put in there is amazing. I love how light the bag is and when I load it up its still light where other bags are light with some wight and when you load them up there heavy.

Wow, that’s amazing, William! Any tips to share after seven years of use? -Eric

[@antoniobotello4996]

I had a TIMBUK2 MESSENGER BAG, a medium size back in 1999 and it has changed a lot over the years. There was no key chain, no dedicated for laptops/tablets, no bottle holder, no stationary and no handle on top of messenger bag. The only things it came where a small zip pocket, a small on the inside from one end to the other end divider to separate from books, magazines or newspapers and that’s it.

[@paulfogarty7724]

They should do the same as Chrome and Crumpler - attach the stabilisation strap to the shoulder pad itself with a detachable snap buckle.

[@robbielizon7270]

Just bought mine today and I really love it!!❤

[@PackHacker2]

Thanks for watching 🤙 -Eric

[@juanpalomo5532]

One thing that I have done to the strap of my (small) Classic messenger was buying a Greenroom136 shoulder strap pad made for the Metrodrifter bag. The shoulder strap made it way more comfortable with heavier loads (I ended up buying 2 more of those pads for my gym and travel duffle bag). Also, gonna drop a video on the Chrome Hondo? Looking to pick it up

[@allan4128]

My personal opinion is this bag is not ambidextrous, regardless if you are carrying a light or weighted load your shoulder will hurt if you wear it for a period of time so its nice to have an option to switch sides when you need it

[@djfglobal3377]

That is a good point I did not think of .. I have one in the way

[@GradietPanda12345]

Disagree

[@huesos_azules]

Is this the small or the medium?

[@respecttheface7152]

Looks like a small

[@gottago9824]

as somebody who owns a deedog from 1995, this bag will outlive you & your children.

[@jackyyeap1260]

Must have missed it. What's the size of this bag review? S or M?

[@pawelkarbowski3622]

Can I use it on both shoulders?

[@muhnaufal914]

hi i like ur videos btw, I want to know the size of the bag used?

[@PackHacker2]

This pack is 21L and is the medium size. Plus, it's also available in 3 other sizes. You can also find all of the technical details over on our site here: packhacker.com/travel-gear/timbuk2/classic-messenger-bag/ 😊 - Rebecca

Do you have any experience with the Custom features?

[@JackLodestar]

There's no main inner zipper?

[@decodedfairs]

i have the same bag but i wanna cut the cushion on the strap

[@travelergizemliyolcu.134]

i did

[@BevBee]

I did and it’s awesome haha

[@xxgg]

what is the size being reviewed? wished main compartment was zippered.

[@SamChaneyProductions]

The written review says it is a medium (fits 15" laptop)

[@attafwrd]

I have the this and the large one, my complaints were no paddings (sides, below and on the back especially for laptop) and holder at all. I got many dents on my mac or other laptops just because accidentally bumped on doors or walls or other things...

[@PackHacker2]

Thanks for sharing your insights! 🤙 -Eric

[@paulfogarty7724]

Very few messenger bags have padding as they're designed for bike messengers. The devider is not really for laptops. You need a laptop bag - totally different animal.

[@merjaymermanph]

I have a dark green for this. Its only 40$ in a mark down sale in my country. Bought it yesterday

Will the small size (S) fit a 14'' inch laptop ?

[@PackHacker2]

Hey Celal! According to their site, the small fits up to a 13" laptop. Thanks for the comment! - Austin

[@DanCooksFood]

Is the strap removeable?

[@Simku]

no it isn't

[@jaredharris1970]

No but why would u want to remove it ?? It’s designed to be cross body hands free

[@Ontheroad13]

@@jaredharris1970 Because it is set up for right-handed use and some people aren't right-handed.

[@acaaaaaad]

@@PackHacker2 Hi Eric, can you confirm whether the 21 oz will fit the pocket and not too high?

[@jethrobodeen88]

I bought all my Timbuk2s on eBay for less than $40.

[@PackHacker2]

🤙🤙🤙

[@neilsbruno9842]

It would be nice if you mention the price at the start, middle and end. For most young 'student' backpackers, the price is the most important.

[@hugoholmlund7778]

what do you mean with "We" all the time, have you been charing the bag with someone? great rewew

[@jerryoliver5591]

*Does the job*

[@georgeseriani2482]

I would never carry my keys off body the y live in my pocket where they. Belong!!

I am surprised the Covid mask fits inside the bag.
