XL is HUUUGE--great bag!

By Little Green Jedi Ranked #330 - Slings & Messenger Bags February 26, 2009

Let me start by saying that I am a bit biased because I love Timbuk2 products. With that out of the way, I bought the XL in Gray-Dijon-Gray color scheme. The styling is great, as with virtually all Timbuk2 bags. I was somewhat apprehensive about getting the XL, because I didn't know if I'd need one that big, but now I am glad I did. It's difficult to describe just how much capacity this thing has. My 6-year old son can almost fit into it, and I'm pretty sure it would hold his weight as well, the design and construction are that solid. I am also a big fan of organizer pockets in my bag, to old all the little "greeblies" that we carry with us and keep them from rolling around in the bottom of the bag. Without the multi-pocket organizer on this bag, you would be forced to either go arm-deep or virtually dive into this bag to retrieve your lip balm or keys (are you getting that this bag is big yet?). The ballistic nylon material's water resistance is top notch in any situation other than total submersion. One minor drawback is that if you load this monster up, it becomes quite bulk and if you load it up with heavy items you may need a forklift to haul it around. But I have a feeling that this is what Timbuk2 had in mind when they designer her, Chewie. One thing I wish it had was an outside pocket--something I could access quickly for small items without having to open the entire flap. But this is a minor point.
