Timbuk2 Datadump Daypack

The well-padded shoulder straps make this an ideal way to carry a larger laptop, for those who are fragile.

The main compartment is a huge black hole. There is an adequate netting/pocket for storage in this main compartment. The laptop compartment is well secure. I wish that the side pockets had just a little more room. They are in good places with easy access. Perhaps if the big compartment was divided into two sections, a person could organize better rather than have the black hole effect.

1st off ... Own three (different Colors) and I Purchased one for my friend. This bag serves a dual purpose for me. It holds vinyl Records very nicely and provides padding. I can even throw a slim mixer in the laptop slot and be off. Perfect bag for distant gigs. Also an Excellent carry -on luggage bag. It holds over a weeks worth of Clothing, toiletries and ancillary items with room to spare. I travel a lot overseas and this Bag has been invaluable. Only Flaw is the front pockets they open gull wing style and make it difficult when grabbing items on the fly w'out something falling out. Awesome Bag. Zuko

Well, since this is a closeout and it doesn't appear that Timbuk2 is making this pack again, this is your last chance to buy this pack. It was a good price for the product when I got it. The capacity is a bit deceptive - I ordered it because people said there was a fair amount of room in it. It is deep room, not wide room, and that's not as good for my application (School, work), but it's not a debilitating feature.

Appears to be well made, lots of pockets. Extra cord pockets are nice, and the waterproof compartment for a water bottle is genius. It is a bit heavy, though, even when empty (a tradeoff for the generous padding). The opening for the main compartment (not where the laptop goes) has a long zipper across the top. There are clips on either side to snap the ends of the zipper down once it is closed. I suppose this adds a degree of security against the zipper opening with heavy loads, but it is a little inconvenient to have to snap and unsnap to get in and out.
