Classic Messenger style meets total laptop protection. Whether you travel by foot, plane, train or automobile, this is the perfect computer-friendly companion (fits 15" and 17" laptops), and a welcome alternative to the traditional corporate briefcase.

The Commute is the new blazer. Herringbone, the preppy zig zag print the British love to wear, has found it's way to your bag. Whether you travel by foot, plane, train or automobile, this is the perfect computer-friendly companion (fits 15" and 17" laptops), and a welcome alternative to the traditional corporate briefcase.

The Grown Collection is Timbuk's vision to moving towards utilizing parts and materials that are better for the environment and less harmful to the folks who make them. Last year they took a big step by eliminating PVC from their entire line. These bags are another step in the right direction. On some of the key styles you’ll find the same fabric texture both inside and out. The bag maintains water resistance and durability without sacrificing style. Self fabric trim adds to the finished look. Fabric is made up of 66% hemp, 33% PET, and 1% mojo.

Great bag.

Rating:****
I use this bag to commute to work everyday and have found that it's more comfortable than my computer back pack. The adjustable strap is much easier to use than my other bags and also feels very secure when walking to my train. the size of the bag is great - I can fit all my gym clothes as well as my work files, books and laptop. The only issue I have with the bag is the cup holder, which is not deep enough to hold my commuter coffee mug. The interior pockets are well designed, I can store all of my smaller items without having to worry about losing them or damaging them.

Quality, versatile, professional bag

Rating:****
Use this pack for travel and school purposes. It fits an excessively large Dell Inspiron E1705 in a protective laptop sleeve in addition to seperate compartments that can simultaneously accommodate binders and textbooks. Another nice feature are separated pockets/compartments for smaller items, calculator, pens, etc...

The only complaint I can make about this product is that the heavy duty (but still plastic) clips squeak with each step when the bag is overloaded. It's annoying but probably serves as a reminder that I've put too much in the bag.
