Huge but well made Really well made

It's a really huge bag and it really looks like it could be armored wear nothing. Of the minuses - a deep rich black color. Huge inside and seems almost resistant to tearing or puncture. I am sure that with proper care this bag will last a very, very long time. Not for day trips unless you're a big pack rat or maybe a delivery man.

Pros
  • SPECIAL SHELTER ROLL TOP: chunky, expandable, weatherproof roll-top backpack for city commuting
Cons
  • There are nuances

HUGE and heavy! Not suitable for everyday use.

This backpack is much larger than I expected and much heavier. I was hoping to use it as a backpack for my work computer, but it's just too big to be useful. Above. It is extremely engineered and appears almost bulletproof. It would probably work well as a weekend bag or duffel bag, especially since it's waterproof. However, this just isn't convenient or practical for everyday use.[LCVR]

Pros
  • Hand wash only
Cons
  • Light weight

Great Go bag in backpacks, bags and accessories

I love Timbuk2 bags and this one is no exception. It's actually a bit bigger than I expected and it has both pros and cons for me. I wouldn't carry this bag everyday, it's just too big for that. However, it makes an excellent weekend or overnight camping bag as it has enough space for everything you need to take with you, including your laptop! This is the default Timbuk2 quality, making it a favorite in my book. Love the construction, the quality of the stitching and the clasps (especially…

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast

Do you need a backpack to cycle to work?

Good qualities: HUGE (holds a change of clothes, helmet, shoes, etc.) Good design Waterproof Fits in a water bottle Holds a 15" laptop Stylish for its size Bad qualities: - Very large - Somewhat expensive but well built. Conclusion: This particular Timbuk2 roll top is HUGE. This is the largest backpack I've ever used and it's great for commuting. A change of clothes, work shoes, a bicycle helmet, a laptop and other work utensils fit in easily. The backpack looks quite stylish for its size. When

Pros
  • The best
Cons
  • A few minor things

Quality Timbuk2 for camping and hiking

This bag, like all Timbuk2 bags, is expensive and worth every penny. Design, materials (fabric and zippers) and stitching are impeccable. While the wet black finish may not please everyone, the waterproofing and comfort will. Although I didn't try to blow him up with a hose, he probably could have withstood it. The material appears to be totally waterproof, and it's easy to fully seal the top. The bag is exceptionally spacious and well designed for cyclists. It *easily* fits a computer, books…

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • No instructions

Incredible bag - excellent quality and perfect details

This could possibly be my dream backpack. This company is known for incredibly high quality bags and this backpack is a perfect example of that. I also have a similar bag that I use every day as a bag for errands, trips to the office, etc. It's basically a backpack version of this bag, with the same amount of space and all the features and functions. Details, with the added bonus of back straps and a hinged canopy, making it easy to carry (frees your hands!) and weatherproof. Everything has…

Pros
  • Perfect fit for me
