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 waterproof, vinyl-lined interior stows all of your daily baggage, and the rugged ballistic nylon exterior resists the abrasion of daily use. An adjustable cam-buckle strap and removable cross strap keep the bag secure when you're dashing for the train, and reflector tails keep you visible to those reckless cab drivers. The Laptop Messenger also comes standard with a convenient Grab Strap carrying handle for speedy grab-and-go departures.
Bottom Line: The classic, ever-hip messenger bag with a digital upgrade.

sweet bag, long shoulder strap. hidden waist belt strap. 03-20-09
i got this bag to ease my biking commute to school. the bag is perfect size to stuff my macbook, one (1) text book, one (1) notebook and maybe a thin tupperware for a lunch. my main complaint is that no matter how i adjust the shoulder strap i can not get it super snug on my body! i'm not a little guy (6'1" 180 lbs). Also look deep inside the front panel to find the hidden waist straps- i didn't find mine until a month after owning. Overall this is a solid built bag that seems ready to withstand years of hauling around your hopes and dreams.

Huge laptop bag check, beer cooler not so much. 09-30-08
I picked up the large ballistic Black Timbuk2 Laptop Messenger Bag and it's huge. Maybe almost too big for my daily ride to work, but other than that it's great. I easily fit my helmet, cycling clothes, laptop, and a pair of sneakers in the bag with room to spare. You could probably fit 6-8 laptops in the bag, but then again who cares around 6 laptops, I max out at 2. The built in laptop compartment doesn't seem to be removable so I wouldn't be trying to use this one as a beer cooler like the other timbuk2 bags.
This is a great bag for students, commuters, or anyone who wants a functional and high quality bag. I am a student that commutes to school on a bike most days. I usually have my macbook, folders, binders, lunch, and music scores with me which fills the bag to the max. The side strap helps A LOT while biking so that the bag does not shift at all. The padded strap is nice but I wish it gripped my body a bit more - it's not slippery but a better gripping rubber would have been nice. The bag has plenty of pockets for writing implements and other accessories and looks more professional than my previous backpack These bags stand up to anything and if you're looking for a high quality messenger bag, you can't go wrong with Timbuk2.
