Best Messenger I've Ever Bought!
I've looked at Timbuk2 bags before, but never got one. Once I bought this one, I wished I had years ago. I'm not the first to say, but I concur, this is the best, and last, bag you'll ever get.

Minimalist gear bag.
Recently put Timbuk2 Classic Messenger Bag (sm) on a library to brewery commute. Held all my identity bits (wallet, phone and hat) and chemistry book (huge), spiral notebook and Dell Latitude D620 (power cord and wireless mouse) snugly/securely around my shoulder. I dub thee a perfect urban buddy.

Excellent Bag
Love the color & style. My teenage daughter saw my bag and also wanted one for herself. Great quality!

fantastic bag
In just the right size, I use it everyday for school. Durable and comfortable to carry too. Love this bag!

Great for everyday commuting!
I bought the size small messenger bag, which is the perfect size for me! I can fit what school books I need in there, as well as anything else I may need throughout the day, with no problems at all. I love the compartments inside and the waterproof liner works great. I've lugged groceries around in my bag (sans books), while on my bike..it stays in place perfectly. Also, Altrec's customer service is superb! They are easy to contact if you have a problem and are more than willing to help you promptly solve it. I look forward to making my next purchase from the website soon.
