Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The quality of the materials and stitching is excellent. Lightweight and superbly engineered. Because it has that great inside liner.

New one is for my kid and he loves it. Excellent bag for the money. Highly recommend this bag. Sincerely, thank you.



Cons

If this isn't enough to steer you away, there is one other issue to mention. It says timbuk2 san francisco, as if they are proud of the clowns that made the decision to make this bag less practical. Tore a hole in my coat.

The medium is really too small to be a good commuter bag - especially if you need to carry your life on your back throughout the day. The bag doesn't really hug your body, it hangs off and puts tension on your lower bag. The whole bag is too floppy an...  Read More

There would have been a simple solution - timbuk2 sells the strap pad seperately. Second, the strap is thinner and softer, and it twists easily. Third and most serious, the cam buckle is fiddly and unreliable.

Quality


The quality of the fabric, pockets and zippers is the best.


Pros:-the quality of the materials and stitching is excellent and i'm sure this bag will last forever.


Everything is like my old one but looks like the quality control is lacking.

Price


The price is higher than backpacks but due to style, comfort, and kids no longer having back pain well worth the money.

Competitiveness


Next, both coveted having a timbuk2 bag of their own.


Medium can fit a 14-inch laptop, 1l tumbler, a small umbrella, and a sweater.


One negative that they need to improve, the bottle holder pocket is absolutely too small for anything but a 20oz bottle of water.


If i ever need another i'll probably get a timbuk2 again but maybe a different color and smaller size.

    If like me however this is a replacement to your ‘original’ messenger many good features from almost twenty years ago have been removed and this bag feels like a ‘lite’ version with most external pockets removed an unpadded laptop sleeve with no velcro closer and a simple band strap for a handle

    The new shoulder strap is however much more comfortable


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The bag needs to be one inch higherdeeper to fit a yeti rambler with a bottle chug cap but we replaced the cap with a hotshot cap to get it in the bag

    It had great reviews but it was too small for a modern person with tons of wires and books


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
