A Classic Messenger fitted with a crater laptop sleeve.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Not indestructible. But close.
Well, this part I already knew. The Timbuk2 bags are built to last. I shop consignment and see older models, used and often a bit beat up, still apparently fetching some sweet prices. (The Honda of messenger bags?) So I was eager to have the opportunity to check out the DLux, in person - it's lightweight, it's 100% synthetic (but no chemical plastic-y smell here), and it's certainly made to withstand the travails of a rainy/snowy/hot/humid commute by bike/car/subway/whatever.
What it's *not*, is particularly compact or elegant. Having had a go with this one, I can attest to its strength and capacity -- and oh boy, it will hold the tablet, the kids' mini-computers (both of them) - a pair of shoes, the water bottle, the purse, my knitting, a binder...get the idea? By the time you fill it up, you're going to want that nifty memory cam adjust buckle that lets you put the bag over you cross body, then easily cinch it up under your arm for a secure fit. Maybe just an...

Best messenger bag I've used
Being a student who bikes to school, lugging a laptop and books is normally an enormous pain. The Timbuk2 D-Lux Messenger bag has been a life changer. Wow. I should have invested in a bag like this long ago, but better late than never! Here are some of my highlights:
PROS:
* Endless compartments. When I first received the bag, I thought it was like a magician's trick bag, because pockets seemingly kept appearing out of nowhere. Great for storing ... well, everything you own!
* Ease of use. Load it up, snap it closed, hoist it around your torso, and off you go. Can't get much simpler than that!
* Adjustable shoulder strap. The strap is super unique in that it "remembers" the length setting through a clever clip device, which also allows for adjusting while wearing. Very intuitive and useful.
* Laptop access. This is one of my favorite features: when the bag is closed, the laptop is accessible through the top, via a well-placed zipper, so no need to...
Not Perfect, but Best Option I Could Find
I looked at all of the competition and this bag fit the bill the best, but there are a few details which could make this bag much better. I was looking for an all-around bag that would be a bombproof commuter, yet refined enough that it's not unwieldy on a crowded metro and I don't look like a bike messenger when I walk into a law firm. I'd guess you're already familiar with the pluses so here are my gripes (maybe I'm just a cup half-empty kind of guy).
1) It's not actually all that big. I like the width (strap to strap) but it would be much more functional if were just a couple of inches deeper (top to bottom) without sacrificing any convenience. 2) the front flap is too short to cover the pockets when it's stuffed. Again, another couple inches would've made a world of difference. 3) the plethora of pockets on the front are not very functional because they don't expand, yet share the same space, being stacked on top of eachother, meaning, if you fill the middle pocket,...
