I own 2 bags one for work and one for personal. This Timbuktu bag serves as my personal bag and I have been using it for over 4 years now. I am not a bike messenger but I was attracted to the shape and the quality of the bag. I really beat this bag up. I take it wherever I go whether it's to the coffee shop or during my travel. The bag has a protective sleeve for a laptop and tons of room for anything else. It doesn't have too many pockets and dividers but it has enough for you to separate all your important stuff. If you're looking for a no non-sense bag to lug stuff around, then this is your bag!

Few month ago I asked a fellow motorcycle rider about a bag he was carrying - he said timbuk2. He liked it a lot, however, he said, his was too big and the laptop was kinda all over the place.
So I paid a little extra and got the one that was made to carry a laptop.
Since I work in downtown, I ethier ride my motorcycle or Bart (train). This bag is great for either - it's easy on/off and stays with you at 80 MPH+.
The space is adequate for your laptop, gym gear and a water bottle, however I wouldn't call this bag large -it's just the right size.
If you are on the go and want something that looks good within a $100 budget - Get It - that's my verdict.

One of the selling points (for me) was that the bag is waterproof. It seems that the fabric is, but there's no zipper or anything to seal it tightly. In principle, water could flow into the open holes on the two ends of the bag (near the straps), though the weight of the bag's contents tends to close it tight in practice. The computer and inner pouch are safely protected from falling water by being in the center of the main flap, but the main compartment might just fill up with water in a heavy downpour.
There's no lack of pockets within pockets on the inside, but I'm a little disappointed that it doesn't have (unprotected) pockets on the outside, where I like to put ID badges for easy retrieval.
Also, a buyer should know that while the main flap can be closed with clips (as seen in the picture), there's also a lot of velcro holding it down. I haven't decided whether this is a good thing or not--- velcro has a limited lifetime and can be loud to open in meetings, but it does make the flap want to stay down, so I don't need to bother clipping it all the time. If I decide to remove the velcro, I'll need to do it with a seam-ripper.
The way that it changes shape under weight (closing the open holes near the straps like parted lips) also makes it difficult to retrieve things while wearing it, which is one of the things I liked about messenger bags (like purses with laptops in them).

I already had a Timbuk2 commute messenger, so I figured I would be happy with this bag. I got the medium size to use as a camera bag, and it fits the Tenba Laptop insert (not available here, Tenba model #638-251), along with a laptop, perfectly. The bag is quite spacious- the photos don't adequately represent this.
The only downside with this bag versus the commute (which would not fit the Tenba insert) is there are no side pockets for me to stick a water bottle in.
The only thing to take heed of is that the picture has a different color scheme than the bag actually has (for the Dark Brown/Rusty/Dark Brown variation). I was prepared for this because the description of the color is correct. So, I put in a little extra effort and found a pic of a Timbuk2 bag with those colors at Timbuk2's own website. I'm actually happy the colors are not the same as the picture, because I think the colors in the picture are poorly matched.

This is a great messenger bag. I use it almost every day to carry my MacBook Pro 15". I like the design which makes this bag has lot of room with useful pockets inside. One thing I don't like is the shoulder strap pad comes with it. The pad is not very comfortable to use. I just ordered Skooba R730-203 Superbungee Strap which has very good review from others to replace it. No complain other than that. Love the bag!
