Timbuk2 Originals Commute Messenger Bag - Medium, Slim

Everything I had expected

This messenger bag looks chic and large enough for anything you'd want to take along

This bag is tough and functional, with good storage capacity and organizational options. I wish that the side water bottle pockets were large enough to hold my bottles, as they are a bit too small. Overall, though this is a comfortable and functional bag.

This is a good bag. For anyone that wants a stylish and durable laptop bag, with extra room for your other items, this is perfect. I did like my older Timbuk 2 bag a little more, because it was lower profile. But you couldn't carry as many items as well. You can count on the bag being around for years! As long as you don't buy a 17" laptop.

Some said the capacity was problematic, and that was my primary concern. The size is fine for me--fits my computer perfectly and offers some protection and has pockets for papers, folders and a book or two. I can load it to the point where I wouldn't want to carry much more. It will carry and show just fine for business, and you can sling it over your back for the bicycle commute home. I use it daily, and though I've had it for two weeks, I like it every time I pick it up. Seems durable, but time will tell.
