Timbuk2 Classic Messenger Bag - Large

I wanted a quality, stylish, large capacity messenger bag to carry my paperwork and other office necessities back and forth to work. I got exactly what I wanted, but the bag is so big and strong that I often load it to a capacity that makes it a heavy haul. I would like to be able to expand the adjustable shoulder strap more than the product allows. Also, a suitcase-type hand carrying handle would be a nice addition to the bag. This is a very nice product that lives up to what one would expect from a Timbuk2 offering.

Well-constructed messenger bag with excellent capacity and some good interior pockets. A top handle for ease of overhead bin retrieval would have gotten it 5 stars (although this suggested feature is stylisticaly not inherent to messenger bag design). Well-priced and nicely-executed.

I use this bag everyday for school and anything else. Since I am a grad student, I tend to have a lot of books and papers to carry, and this bag easily fits everything I need. My only complaint is that there is no pocket on the flap itself. If you need to get anything from the bag, you have to open the front flap. I know this makes it more weather proof, but it would still be nice if there was something there. Not a big problem at all though. Very minor issue

I must admit, I'm locally dedicated to my Timbuk2 bags. With their amazing strength, durability, style, and comfort, I always find myself reaching for the Timbuk2 over any other messenger bag I own.

As a parent of two kids living in Manhattan, I often need to carry a lot of stuff with me on foot. A messenger bag is the perfect solution since it is expandable, comfortable and rugged. I bought this bag to replace one that I have owned for about 10 years and I am very satisfied with it so far. With this bag, don't expect lots of fancy pockets. It does have a number of well-designed small internal pockets for carrying a wallet, pens, etc. But the bulk of the inside is just an absolutely huge interior space. Apart from the large capacity, the bag also seems very sturdy.
