Timbuk2 Laptop Messenger Bag

The legendary Timbuk2 Laptop Messenger bag, based around the design of the Classic Messenger, features a built-in padded computer compartment to protect your precious laptop from the perils of your daily commute. The huge, waterproof vinyl-lined interior is spacious enough to stow your daily flotsam. Unlike the Classic, the Laptop Messenger also comes standard with the convenient Grab Strap carrying handle for speedy grab-and-go departures.

Bottom Line: The ever-hip messenger bag just got a digital-payload upgrade—laptop style.

Laptop Messenger is a Joy for Computer Haulers

By: archaeophile (1)
February 3, 2008

I've been a Timbuk2 fan for years. This bag replaces the basic large messenger bag, which is huge. The space is cut down a bit on this bag because of the dedicated computer pouch, but it also is more stable and easier to sling on your shoulder because the load is evenly situated in the bag. Without the pouch books and computers have a tendency to "lay down" in the bag (not sit perpendicular). This often leads to shoulder straps digging uncomfortably into your neck and shoulder. This bag (the Laptop Messenger) is a vast improvement in this respect. The style and bombproof construction go without saying. I love this bag!

NYC just got easier

By: Halston (1)

I bought this messenger bag because I bike everywhere in NYC, and I just purchased a laptop. I was using an old messenger bag from about 5 years ago, and the upgrade was overdue. This bag is so easy to use, comfortable, quickly releases, and it is much bigger than it looks! My only complaint was that I originally purchased this on amazon, and the information about which size bag would fit which laptop was incorrect. The laptop size wasn't labeled on amazon, and I had to re-order. Once I called this site, the sales people were more than helpful, and got me the correct bag in lickety-split time!
