Thank you for this Painless Reviews. It baffles me that no one, goes more into detail of the strap when reviewing. Great update!

[@painlessreviews1777]

You're welcome! That detail about there being a lack of videos showcasing this bag or the strap system, also made us want to share this great bag to the world and promote a cool looking, solid feeling, and utilitarian product. Thanks for the comment, senchaholic!

Great video! Where do I get the sternum support strap? I bet any with a carabiner will do or does it come with it? I’m thinking of buying the bag for commuting to fit my laptop

[@tomservo9254]

Very useful, thanks. I received an especial to replace my disintegrating classic but the strap adjustment is completely different and not very intuitive

[@painlessreviews1777]

We're glad you found this video helpful! Thanks for the comment, Tom Servo!

[@jennybee1971]

Great find I tried to figure it out I own two other timbuk2 bags and I was confused it’s still kind of a hassle to adjust or maybe I’m just a bit dumb.

[@painlessreviews1777]

If Timbuk2 doesn’t make a demo video, all we can do is guess, yes? :) I’m not at all sure if I’M even doing it correctly, haha!

The main issue is that if you're used to the classic messenger bag, you'll be very confused. With the classic, you pull the strap to tighten or loosen, with the especial you only pull to loosen, not tightening. To tighten, you need to pull on the loose part of the strap, which I only understood after watching this video. On top of that, I find that it's not enough to pull on the quick release buckle, as the loose part of the strap will get caught in my shirt. Maybe Painless Reviews use a very slippery shirt :P But I could not pull to release so easily as Painless Reviews. I'm thinking of creating a video of the issue.

@@painlessreviews1777 Timbuk2's videos generally suck. :P I love their bags, but man, it's like the don't want to show off their products. Timbuk2 usually have great internal pockets, but they rarely if ever show them off. I bought a crumpler bag once, and I was shocked at their pocket system!

Can I ask how tall are you? And how comfortable is it for a long day. I'm considering this one and Baran III.

[@painlessreviews1777]

I am 1.82cm (6') tall. During the warmer weather I do feel that my back sweat doesn't really evaporate, so I find myself rotating the bag to my front from time to time just to let my back breathe. Other than that, it has the usual strain any cross-body strap system will have: single-shoulder fatigue after extended usage, strap-hickey from where it rubs against my neck, bag position droop due to shifting of torso. etc. The only thing I notice about the Buran III that stands out right away is the pet-hair attraction factor--and the price bracket, other than that, it really is up to personal preference. Either bag has it's unique appeal, so if you try them on in person, I feel you will gravitate to your natural instinct. Thanks for the comment, Bach Mai!
