Some say the Timbuk2 Classic Messenger is the bag that started it all. This rig, originally built as a rugged necessity for urban bicycle warriors, quickly became the hippest under-the-radar carry-all for everyone from metro commuters to tree-hugging granola munchers. Thanks to the waterproof vinyl inner lining, the Classic Messenger doubles as a killer beer cooler as well. Just throw in some ice and some malty ones and you're set for a mellow day of Frisbee golf in the park—just make sure your laptop's not inside. While it doesn't have a dedicated computer sleeve, the Classic'll still fit your laptop.
Bottom Line: It's a bag, it's a cooler, it's an international symbol of protest against unnecessary fuel consumption. Commuters unite!
I purchased the XL in Red/Burnt Orange/Red. The bag is HUGE, but provides room for everything I need. The bag has very high quality construction and materials. I expect this will be the last bag I have to purchase for many years. (Unlike some of the other posts, mine did not come with the shoulder pad on the strap. Also, the coloring in the pictures are a bit bright, the red and orange on my bag are a deeper shade.)

Great bag, plenty of room and comparments! 02-04-08
I needed a bag to lug around a lot of binders, books, and my laptop all at the same time. This bag can fit it all and is really comfortable! It's a nice looking bag too and has many pockets and compartments to hold your small loose items. I like the fact that the bag is really big and open from the inside, you could fit a basketball inside of it! I place my laptop in a case and pile it inside the bag with all my other school stuff. Online chat with live staff was extremely helpful as they were the ones who pointed out this bag to me! Highly recommend this bag! Thanks.
This bag is great for sales reps. who need to cary litterature and etc. I get a lot of comments on it from my customers. Living in Seattle it is great in the rain as well. Keeps everything nice and dry.
