Pros & Cons
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.

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.
Highlights
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

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
