Timbuk2Division Laptop Backpack Deluxe, Eco Black Deluxe

Great backpack. Timbuk2 bags always feel extremely durable and high quality, and after a few months of use make you think, “This bag was totally worth the premium.”That said, know that this is a pretty small backpack. For my partner, it can hold two textbooks, a laptop, iPad, pencil case, and some toiletries (tissues, chapstick, bandaids, etc), but barely any more. Squeezing a jacket in, for example, would be a stretch.My partner is 5’1”, and this backpack sits just above her belt line. For short people like us, this pack is awesome! If you’re looking for a compact backpack that looks and feels great, don’t second guess yourself: this is the one!However, if you’re looking for a bag with a bit more space, I’d recommend the Authority pack deluxe. The design is very similar to this one here, but you get a second large compartment and a more spacious main compartment.Overall, the materials feel premium and the straps and back padding are really supportive and comfortable. It looks true to the photos in the listing. Highly recommend!

Great backpack, it fits everything I need. The fabric and zips feel premium and solid. Space is good if you carry the essentials for your every day. I don’t think this could be a travel backpack so consider this before buying.

I’ve had a Timbuk2 messenger bag for over 20 years - it’s travelled along with me on several hundred journeys, without a single frayed thread. Unfortunately, my new 16” laptop doesn’t fit in the messenger bag, and it’s a bit heavy for one shoulder, so it’s time to get something new. I wanted something a little dressier and professional than the standard backpack, and something that didn’t make me look like a survivalist prepper carrying their disaster go-bag.This Timbuk2 backpack fits the bill perfectly. Laptop fits great, lots of padding, and the pack is comfortable to carry. It’s large enough to carry my laptop and accessories, along with whatever paperwork I may need, etc., but not so large that I look like a backpack with legs. So far, it seems to be as well made as my old messenger bag - I just hope it lasts as long.

I was looking for a travel backpack that would count as a personal item. The dimensions might be a tad big according to some airlines, but the backpack fit under the seat in front in every case so far. What I like about the backpack is that it’s just one big open area with a few addition pockets (keeps things simple). I can put my camera equipment and some extra clothing inside the bag. Material is excellent. It has a strap to attach to your suitcase handle and comfortable shoulder straps with sternum strap (very important). What I don’t like about it is that the compression straps don’t allow you to then open the bag up without undoing the buckles. I ended up cutting them off. Another thing I don’t like is the front zipper is hard to access and leaves off 1/3 of the bag above.

This is my second Timbuk2 computer backpack. I loved my first which eventually wore out. While I would have preferred that this backpack had a front exterior pocket like my first bag, the design of this backpack is quite good. A lot of the features of the earlier version are retained such as an internal thin pocket in addition to the computer pocket and the main section. Another is an internal leash for keys. Finally, the price is quite competitive with other computer backpacks.

I've had many Timbuk2 bags over the years, and only one was a replacement due to wear and tear (over 10+ years). This pack is the perfect size, weight and heft for daily commute into the city. Backpacks are all about preference (how big, how many pockets, etc.), so I'll say objectively that the quality and style of this one is a home run, and the configuration works perfectly for me, my 13" laptop, a notebook, glasses, water bottle, and misc. stuff.

It's a great bag, really well put together. But it wasn't for me. Too heavy. Too much padding. Too many bells and whistles. I think I prefer something simpler and lighter.

Its hard to find things of good quality that feel like they are built to last. This backpack knocks this out of the park. Extremely durable, great stitching, all the pocket linings are good materials and not the cheap thin garbage that swiss gear uses. I am extremely happy with this bag, and look forward to using it for many years to come.My only gripes:Small pocket storage is abit lacking, the pocket on the front is an endless void that things get lost in, and the one internal pocket is quite small.The "waterproof" thing is a joke, the zippers leak, this backpack wont protect your electronics from more than a light sprinkle. That being said, still worlds better protection than if it didn't have any waterproof coating at all.Not that good of venting, can cause a sweaty back when being active while wearing this bag.Overall 5/5 stars. Great quality, IT ACTUALLY HAS A WATER BOTTLE HOLDER THAT'S USEFUL, and its sub 20 liter. that's an extremely rare combination.
