This is my second Timbuk2 bag. I got the XS size first to just use it like a purse. I commute by bike to work about one day a week and the XS bag just wasn’t big enough for a change of clothes and my lunch, etc. I debated getting a Large one but am so glad I went with Medium. It’s huge! I’m only 5’1″ so it looks a little ridiculous on me but I can ride my bike fine with it full of stuff. I think I will also use it as my luggage for trips occasionally. I got it in Silver/Lime-Aide/Lime-Aide color which is great for visibility on my bike (I don’t trust the drivers in NM too much so I try to be as visible as possible). Timbuk2 bags are certainly expensive but worth it I think. They are quality bags and will last forever. I was also glad to find them on Amazon for much cheaper than the Timbuk2 website.

I just received my bag and put all my electronic equipment I’m planning to take to HAWAII this month. I had been looking for a bag to put my new IPAD 3G. After looking for 3 weeks I decided on this bag. I am not sorry I did. It looks and feels like it can last 10 to 15 years. My IPAD fits snugly in the inner pocket and I have more room to put other items. Just to give you an idea of the space in this bag, I was able to put my IPAD, an Ipod touch and Iphone 3gs, 3 Kidz Gear wired headphones, 5 passports, my Lumix DMC-FX500s, wallet, keys and IPAD SD/USB adapters. I was debating between getting this one or the Timbuk2 Freestyle netbook messenger. The differences between the two was that the latter had a cushioned pocket for the IPAD and a short shoulder strap. Upon first hand inspection, I was glad I selected this one. My IPAD fits nicely into the sleeve pocket now with the Apple Case. If I had purchased the netbook bag, that extra cushion would probably not allow me to put the IPAD with its case or any other case for that matter. In addition, my classic bag has a two features I am very happy with. The Cam buckle shoulder strap gives me enough space to cross the strap on the opposite shoulder and the new slash pocket on the front flap sold me. If you are looking for a well made, perfect bag for the IPAD look no further!!!
