Peak Design Everyday Sling 6L vs Timbuk2 Classic Messenger XS

In this video I compare the Peak Design Everyday Sling 6L against the Timbuk2 Classic Messenger XS for use as a (hybrid) camera messenger bag. (by hybrid I am also wanting to carry non camera objects in the bag such as water bottle and/or umbrella).

Good review / comparison. Been using Timbuk2 bags for many years! Very durable and versatile.

[@RhinoHiker]

Great video sir! I was considering both of these bags also. Ultimately I went with the timbuk2 and used a padded camera insert liner case for a little extra protection and for organization.

Good choice. Much more flexible and particularly for non-camera items it’s the most functional

[@tmichellemoore]

Thank you for your comparison!

[@cmmartti]

Very useful comparison review. I really like the look of the XS Timbuk2 Messenger bag, particularly how thin it is when empty. Thank you.

[@hijkl]

Yes same here. I really don’t like the way bulky camera bags just stick out off your body, especially a messenger bag

Great review. I got xtra small & love it. Got the medium too for more busier days. Excellent compartments, for me it’s water proof , great styles. Sorry Herschel I switched. Prices are very reasonable & materials are excellent. Cheers Timbuk2. 👍😎😜❤️🇨🇦

Thanks! Yes the timbuk2 xs messenger is incomparable!

[@ellierami1268]

thank you for the comparison! So question, have you travelled with the messenger bag yet? I am going to Japan in a couple of months and I know I need to bring more things like an umbrella and stuff and I also need to walk more than where I currently live. Have you found any issues with the messenger bag if you ever traveled to places that require you to walk more than usual? Does it tend to weigh down a lot or do you wish there were additional padding?

[@jameskli]

Hi Ellie. Yes I have travelled a bit with this bag. It’s what I tend to bring *if* I didn’t bring a day backpack. In my experience no matter how light messenger bags are, you always feel the weight because of the one-sided support. I’d say even with this timbuk2 XS I think you do feel it after several hours. That being said since it’s already quite light maybe it’s at least the best you can do as far as messenger bags go. Personally For long outings especially vacation day trips I do favor wearing a backpack to have both shoulders and your back to bear the weight. Especially as you say, you’re gonna bring an umbrella , perhaps water bottle, spare sweater/jacket , and then maybe some unplanned purchases like snack or souvenirs in addition to what you normally bring. Not even just from a weight support perspective but from the larger space, I’d recommend a backpack.

hello! can the timbuk2 fit a 12.4inch tablet (samsung galaxy tab s9+) ?

[@jameskli]

Hi I’m not quite sure. My iPad Air 4th Gen is 10.9” (9.74” LX 7” W) and width wise (7” side)it’s already flush with the pocket and lengthwise (9.7” side) I could see it have about 1” more room but that would be maxing it out.

[@JP-be9cx]

Okay it doesnt fit inside the tablet sleeve but when you put it on the open area of the bag itl fit

[@davidtamba9583]

Halo, is timbuk xs messenger bag fit for ipad 11 inch?

[@hijkl]

Hello , yes it should. I have an iPad Air 4th gen which is 10.9” and it fits

[@davidtamba9583]

@@hijkl Thanks

[@widarta7]

​@@hijkl How about ipad pro 12.9 inch?, Is that fit in timbuk xs ??

[@jameskli]

@@widarta7 hi. I’m not 100” sure. There is a bit more room in the sleeve when my iPad 10.9” is inserted but not sure if it is large enough for a 12” iPad. The material is stretchy tho so it can probably be forced in. I am also certain that if you don’t use the sleeve it will fit in the main section anyway.

[@widarta7]

@@jameskli thanks for replying, maybe i will choose S size 😃
