Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- You can grab a used Timbuk2 Messenger on eBay or Poshmark for 50, still in good shape. It will last you years.
- Sometimes it's in my Timbuk2 Messenger, or Aer Go Pack.
- I really like my Timbuk2 messenger for this. It's kind of between the small and medium size.
- I like my Timbuk2 messenger for this kind of thing. The Small is probably the right size.
- I picked up for my mother a Timbuk2 messenger for the same reason. They have multiple sizes. Durable simple and well priced. I've been using mine for work and other things for the last 12 years without any issues.
Cons
- The quintessential bike messenger bag is the Timbuk2 messenger for about $120 or so depending on size
- I have almost the exact same bag and don’t use it because it gets way too heavy when full and looks like shit when half full.
- Parent context: Yep Reply: I have an euc timbuk2 messenger that’s too big for my needs (commute 1.0). Any interest?
- Yeah it’s honestly a little too big which is why it doesn’t leave the closet much, lol. Plus I worry about the pins’ effect on its waterfastness, though I don’t exactly take it out in monsoons.
