Timbuk2 Flight Classic Messenger Bag

Very good quality. Worth every penny. Read more

The XS size fits a Surface Pro 12" - measured with keyboard cover 10.75" x 7.6". Water bottle must be no more than 3" in diameter and 8" tall. I'm using a Hydrapak Recon 25oz/750ml bottle at 8.5" and the flap is just a little tight to clip in on that side. There is a mesh holder opposite the water bottle that will accommodate a compact umbrella. Without anything in the umbrella holder, there is room for a small tech organizer (maybe 7x3) plus EDC items if you don't try to cram in over the ear headphones - Beyerdynamic DT770s barely fit with anything other than the water bottle. The two inside front panel pen holders work great, as well as the larger pocket on either side, which I'm using for reading and sunglasses. I like the feel of the material as well. Soft! I think this is the perfect size for a minimalist carry for this device. Read more

I was pretty nervous dropping this much money when $50 messengers have done fine for me in the past but I’m really happy I bought this. It looks great, it was more comfortable to wear than I expected, and has been, so far, a good workhorse for going into my work with my MacBook. Read more

Useless for traveling. Doesn’t hold the shape. Bottle compartment is inside what is not convenient. Also has no loop strip to attach to luggage handle. Not worth even half of its money. Read more

Great quality messenger bag with lots of features and options. It is the perfect size, not too big, and not too small. It is also expandable so you can put your lunch or other items in the big pocket. My only suggestion to make it 5 stars is to add a bottle holder on the outside of the bag. Read more

I purchased this bag specifically for a prolonged trip through Europe. I really liked this alternative to a backpack. I was able to carry with me daily needs that included a light weight raincoat, scarf, umbrella. On clear days I simply cinched up the bag when the weather gear wasn’t needed. On some travel days I loaded it up with an iPad Pro 10, Kindle Oasis, all the tech support plus comfort needs for mass transit. The bag handled it all. No problems with swinging the bag around to the front for access and my upper back and shoulders were not as stressed as when I carry a backpack. Rain rolled right off the fabric. I didn’t experience the usual heat build-up on my back from this bag as I did with a backpack. The zippered pouches were easy to access for my passport and cash. For now, it’s my new traveling support bag. Read more

Man, I really wanted to love this bag. The materials are solid, the compression straps do a great job of tightening things down, and it looks great in person. The shoulder strap is also one of the most comfortable I’ve used. But for me, it was a miss as a personal item for air travel. The main compartment is just too open—a dump-everything-in style that doesn’t suit how I pack. I prefer bags with more built-in organization so I’m not digging around to find what I need. That said, my girlfriend loves it. It’s become her go-to daily carry. So, clearly it works well for some people. Read more

Great bag, well organized, perfect for my 13” MB Air. Read more
