Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The strap has a thick, removable padding that matches the body of the bag. The strap is very durable and reminds me of a seatbelt. The adjustable strap with an air-mesh padding eases the burden of a heavy load.

If you're in search of a dependable and stylish bag, the timbuk2 classic messenger is an excellent investment. This is a practical, usable and a robust bag that will survive tough use for years while looking great.

Small outside pockets are great for a wallet, phone and sunglasses. It also has a zippered pocket. The inside has a divider.

This bag has a tri-glide buckle. Between the hook and loop closure and the locking clasps, i never have to worry about it opening up on me. The flap is velcro closed, allowing it to be adjustable no matter what you have loaded inside.

The tri-color design is quite eye catching. I expect it will soften with more use.

Cons

A downgrade from the previous model. The strap pad is too long, too rigid, and too thick. It doesn't concave to my shoulder. The inner zipped pocket is also smaller.

Nice brand and very stylish too, but quite expensive for what it is ($140).

Shipping

At the time, i used the bag for work and each day it traveled with me stuffed with all the equipment and paperwork i needed for the day.

Competitiveness

Other than my nitpicks, i really like the construction and materials used in timbuk2 products and i think this is one of the be... Read More

Therefore, based on these facts and features, i definitely recommend this to other consumers.

Below, i will outline the factors i considered when choosing this bag over any other similar ones on the market.

I know it has a key holder, but that requires you to deal with the velcro, and i prefer to do that as little as possible.
