Product Description
In continuous production since 1989, it's certainly safe to say that the Timbuk2 Classic Messenger Bag (Medium) has earned its name. Over the years it has endured field testing and refinement, bringing you today's version, a durable tried and true carryall. Whether you need a serious bag for running documents around town five days a week, or just like the bag's hip styling for hauling your belongings to and from work or school, either way the long lasting, rugged durability is sure to please you. Bicycle messengers like the cam buckle on the shoulder strap that allows for quick, on-the-go adjustment. And for even better carrying comfort, a removable cross strap on the Timbuk2 Classic Messenger Bag (Medium) wraps around the torso to stabilize the load when peddling across town or running to catch the bus. The satchel's interior features a waterproof liner to protect your documents and valuables, several zippered organizer pockets, and pen slots, a business card slot, and a felt lined cell phone sleeve.

The best money can buy September 1, 2008
I got my first Timbuk2 (large classic messenger) back in college, and it's about 3 years old now. Still going strong and getting better with age i.e less stiff, more seasoned look and feel. Timbuk2 makes amazing bags in a wide range of designs, and the classic messenger is, in my opinion, the best of the lot.
I own a large sized classic messenger, and it carries everything I need to bring around (lots of junk) and more. The only thing that you have to be careful is not to be too happy tossing stuff in, only to realise that the bag is just wayyyy to heavy to lug around without causing sore shoulders/back. A strap pad is essential if you're carrying anything larger than a medium-sized classic messenger.
These bags are sturdy, practical (very well-designed pockets, slots, keyrings etc) and look good to boot. I've also got a small classic messenger and a large cargo tote that I bought for my mom who complained about her other bags not having enough compartments (typical women's purses) or being too small to hold all her stuff in an organized way.
While Crumpler bags are also an alternative in a similar price range, Timbuk2 bags seem more suited for serious messenger bag users, while Crumpler bags are more like casual, fashion accessories.
All in all, I seriously recommend Timbuk2 bags for their design and durability. Go Timbuk2!
 Great bag for every day use August 26, 2008
I have the XS size and I love it. It fits my personal essentials, a bottle of water and a book. It's also light enough that it doesn't strain my shoulder. I can access my things easily by swinging it around vs using a backpack. I just wish it had a pocket on the back of the outside (for mail), a big open pocket on the inside and a handle on the top. The padded strap that came along with it kept sliding around so I took it off. It worked much better for me that way. It retains it's shape with a bottle or a book inside it unlike the bigger models.
Timbuk2 Purchase July 30, 2008
I was very pleased with my purchase. It was exactly what I ordered and wanted. Price was great too.
The perfect bag for traveling July 28, 2008
I just took this bag out for the first time to a 2 week trip through Brazil and the bag was even better than expected. I bought the medium-sized bag and was able to fit more than I could possibly ever need out and about on the streets. The bag is well-constructed and heavy-duty and shows no use whatsoever after using it for 12+ hours everyday for 2 weeks. The weight distribution works really well and my back never tired even with carry a lot of weight in the bag. If you are looking at buying a bag, I would seriously check out each size, because the medium was even bigger than I anticipated. This bag would be great for any traveler or person on the go.
High quality, very functional, well designed June 26, 2008
I came late to the Timbuk2 brand. I've usually used backpacks for my daily commute. But I got this bag and haven't looked back. I just throw my stuff in it, throw it over my shoulder, secure the waist strap and I'm off. No packing or unpacking.
The bag is made of very sturdy material and the inside is lined with a waterproof liner that keeps everything dry. There is an organizer pocket on the inside of the bag for the small stuff too. The bag stays secure on my back and doesn't swing left or right as long as I secure the waist strap.
It would be the perfect bag if they had some kind of pocket on the outside that held a water bottle or other small item so that you didn't have to open the bag to get to anything. Other than that, it is a really great bag.
