“Calvin quality”

“As a footloose guy on city pavements, I have a few Timbuk2 messenger bags. This one is totally top-notch in quality. Has the very light-weight and flexable premier x-pac side panels with the first semi-matrix reflective weave on each side of the 3M central panel. The center panel is not noticeable at all in daylight. I had to use a bright LED flash-light to see how it would work at night. It's very, very faint in daylight if at all and then reflective for night car headlights. This high-level bag is assembled in the SF factory. It has that CK products look, feel, design,and craftmanship level. This means you get first pick of restaurant tables and a welcome smile from all. It's casual but upscale at the same time. Only issue I had with bag was it has extra bottom-of-bag tighting straps that got in the way and tangled iwth the closure straps with reflective tabs. I just cut them off with scissors and am glad I did. Now when I reach for the straps to lock the bag flap in place, it's easier and less bothersome. Otherwise this is simply a stunner Timbuk2 product. It sure gets the passerby approval looks and nice comments. Feels like I should own an Apple notebook to go with it as it's so upscale amd well made with it's top-notch performance and materials. This is the bag I take to work on the Muni underground train and up to the 47th Floor. It's black and says business and it fits well on any of the floors or offices or meetings in the building. Thanks, from a new proud and happy Timbuk2 bag owner.”
