Commute, thrash, arrive, and repeat.
Timbuk2 originally designed the rugged Classic Messenger Bag for salt-of-the-earth bike messengers in need of a tough bag. Since then this all-purpose bag has been adopted by students, travelers, and hardcore urbanites. An array of pockets on the inside and outside hold small essentials, while the vinyl-lined main compartment keeps important documents dry. A quick-adjust cam buckle secures the fit of your shoulder strap for riding through traffic or sprinting to catch the train. Timbuk2 improved the hook-and-loop closure placement along the top to accommodate the habits of particularly abusive users of the Messenger.

Great job!
I use this on my bike and when I go places with my daughter. It's great for holding my stuff and things for her like coloring books, crayons, books, umbrella, change of clothes, shoes, snacks, etc. The strap is easily adjusted and also unclips entirely. The strap that connects across the chest is awesome too because when I'm on my bike or even if I have to bend over to talk to my daughter or help her with something, it doesn't slip forward. I've never used a messenger bag like this before, only briefcase-like bags with one single strap... this should be worn snug on your body because it will shift a little bit if you don't. Once you've found your fit, it's more of a garment than a bag.It holds lots of stuff. My only problem really was that the small, overlapping inner and outer pockets don't expand at all, so when you put things in one of them, it takes up space from the ones behind it (if that makes sense). There's a nice zipper compartment on the inside that has small credit card or drivers license/ID card slots and they hold your cards very tight, plus there's the added zipper just in case. This is not the laptop bag, but there is a separater panel inside that is lightly padded and sort of rigid, if you have a laptop sleeve or an old shirt or a scarf or something... wrap it up and put in there and you're good. I might even get some velcro straps to do a little modification to keep it closed (not like it would slip out, the thing has velcro to keep the flap shut and two heavy duty clips). It's waterproof, which is great, and it has a little strap for your rear light. I hate how trendy messenger bags are, especially Timbuk2 and Chrome, but I completely understand why. These things are great. Originally, I wanted the Orange/bright orange/orange color , but I'm sick of ordering stuff online so I went to REI and found this silver/orange/silver. I like it. I wanted a bright orange to make me more noticeable to motorists.
10 Years Later
I've owned my Timbuk 2 bag for ten years now. I purchased a custom classic messenger bag direct from Timbuk 2 on a recommendation from a family member who loved their bag.
After 10 years, this bag has been everywhere with me and it still looks great. When I was in school, I'd put my books and stuff in during the week then dump it out and use it for a weekend trip bag.
I've used it for commuting to work on my bike, as a day bag when going to Disneyland, the beach or wherever else my travels take me. I've used it when flying as a carry on. It's been dropped, thrown, kicked, slid, rained on, slept on, sat on, and taken all the abuse that comes in ten years.
When pieces have broken, Timbuk 2 has replacements available for a low cost.
This has truly been well worth the price I paid for it and I highly recommend this bag.

Great Urban Commuter
The Classic Messenger is a great, get around the city bag. I have been using the small messenger for years and have never had any issues with it. It's small enough that it doesn't feel heavy or awkward while riding my bike, yet has enough space for a change of clothes, lunch, and a handful of small items.
The Napoleon Pocket is a nice feature that allows quick and easy access to my sunglasses or wallet without opening the top flap. The quick adjust side cam buckle allows me to get the bag on and off without taking off my helmet or readjusting the shoulder strap. The internal stash pocket is nice, but if you carry your laptop with you a lot, you may want to consider using an additional sleeve, or upgrading to the d-lux messenger.
Overall this is a fantastic bag that is virtually indestructible, and will last you for years to come.

I'm a bike commuter and use this bag everyday. The medium size carries my laptop and pretty much whatever I need for school. It is waterproof, durable, useful, and quite sexy. I love it.
That said, I have a few issues with it:
-why no carrying handle? most messenger bags seem to have them; it doesn't take much to add a lot of utility
-the way the shoulder strap attaches to the bag should be improved. my strap has inadvertently detached from my bag on several occasions. It really sucks when you're quickly walking across a busy street and the shoulder strap comes out of the slide. Swiveling snap hooks, clipped to D-rings attached to the pack make a lot more sense to me. Additionally, they would prevent the strap from getting twisted which happens to me often enough to be a little frustrating
In short: great pack, just rework the strap and add a carrying handle
Worth it.
At first I was a little wary to buy another messenger bag since the one that I owned before was uncomfortable, hard to access, and had no organizer built into it. That being said the bag I had before was not a Timbuk2.
This bag is comfortable, very secure with the added strap, and has more then enough slots and pockets to satisfy most anyones needs. I'd also like to add the new Napoleon pocket is awesome. I find myself using it all the time and it's super nice not to have open your whole bag to get your high use items (such as your wallet, keys, or cell phone).
Overall the versatility of the bag is stellar. Whether you're headed to school, picking up a few things at the market, or off to work you'll be covered.

I have three Timbuk2 messenger bags now - the small, medium and large. I love how they stand up to all the abuse I throw at them and still look great because they are so well made and the material doesn't rip or fray. I like this small one for going to the gym in my building packed with my keys, access card, water bottle, towel, headphones, iPod and a book to read while on the treadmill. This is also a great size when traveling and sightseeing internationally as it is perfect to wear crossbody and keep a camera, wallet, water bottle, maps and guides while exploring new cities. The one and only thing I would change is to add a grip handle at the top of the bag, otherwise - these are perfect bags!
Great bag overall
I've had this bag for the past year and it's held up extremely well. I've been surprised at the amount of stuff you can get in there (I got a Medium), but its the perfect size for day-to-day.The only things I can find to criticize about this bag are the fact that there is no "handle" if you wanted to carry it like a briefcase. You have to pick it up by the shoulder strap only. That and at certain times (particularly walking at a brisk pace), if you don't have the front clips clasped they rattle and are a little annoying.All in all this is still the best bag for work I've ever owned. It's stylish, there are a ton of spots to put things, and it's extremely durable.
Super Crazy durable!
I have used my medium timbuk2 bag for 6 years! This thing is a part of me now! I have spilled all sorts of stuff in it, a hose washes it out. I have carried all sorts of things in it, it carries things well. I use it for commuting, cycling, grocery getting (along with panniers), as a carry-on while traveling, and as a field bag while doing research. The outer fabric has not piled in a single spot, and has surprisingly few stains. I regularly get the bag soaking wet an covered in mud when it is in the bottom of a boat but the contents are always dry. The waterproof interior really is top-notch.
This is my third timbuk2bag
I have owned this specific colored timbuk2 bag for about 2 months, but have had 2 other ones over time. I trade up every few years when there is a new color selection that catches my eye, but i still have my previous 2 that i go back and forth with. My oldest is 8 years old, and was used everyday through college, and if you see it sitting in my closet, it looks just as good as the newer ones. These are rugged and I take them to work, school, camping, and through airports (this fits perfectly under the seat in front of you on a plane when it is good and full).
Have had the bag for a few months
I have had this specific bag for multiple months and it is the third Timbuk2 bag that I have owned. I trade in every few years for new colors but always keep the old ones around because they are still in great condition. I got my first Timbuk2 bag over 7 years ago and it still has no damage or marks and I used it on a daily basis throughout college. I love these bags and I take them everywhere. To work, to school, on weekend trips, and on flights, it fits perfectly under the seat when it is stuffed full of stuff.
Neutral Reviews:
Pros:
I got this for my fiancee and we both like it. We got the large sized one. It's very spacious! We have travelled with this bag and it is pretty secure (haven't worried about anyone trying to open it while we are crammed onto a bus or anything). The laptop sleeve is nice and wide as well. It can hold a laptop, couple books, two water bottles, and a couple small jackets with no room to spare (ha!).
Cons:
No water bottle holder on the outside. Not too many interior pockets. Probably my biggest criticism of this bag is that the material is super stiff. The shoulder strap has actually scraped my neck a couple times because of how stiff it is. It definitely is not seat-belt soft/bendable.
Summary:
Good bag for the money. There are little things that I would change about this, but there are also some noteworthy benefits. Overall I'd say it's average. Not awful, not stunning.
