Customer Reviews Timbuk2 Co-Pilot - Extra Large

This product looks good, wheels are wide and stought, and lots of pockets for organizing and to keep internals tidy. Material is good quality, the zippers I worry may be slightly small, but operate great and time will tell if they hold up like the rest of our Timbuk2 messenger bags.

Looks great just haven't put it to use yet.

I really like this suitcase. I borrowed my mom's last year for a trip and then decided to get one for myself. Just took it on a week's vacation and no complaints. Rolls really well. I like that there are handles on the top and side for it needs to be lifted or carried. Love the top zipper pouch for a pair of shoes.

Haven't taken this on a trip yet but the build quality and layout looks great.

I used this 2 days after it arrived for an 8 day INTL trip (pairing it up with the Impulse backpack). I got the medium size, which is fine as a domestic carry-on. Technically too big by 0.5 inches in 2 of 3 dimensions, but none of the 3 INTL airlines called me on it. It looks much smaller than the 43L it actually is. the molding of the back ground the telescope rails is genius, as it not only protects them but you get a lot more space inside from it. This back was just awesome on the trip. The split clamshell design made for easy packing/organizing. Mesh pocks are great. The small outside "top pocket" was great to stash stuff I would want to get out on the plane and could just pull out without removing from the overhead bin. Can't say enough good stuff about the wheels. Very smooth and quiet. 5 stars all day. If I had to made a suggestion, it would be to have a 2 inch expandable zipped on one side for more room. While it would then definitely not be carry-on, it would be a awesome bag to check. So this is an early review. after another 50K miles, will update. My biggest worry is that my spouse will steal it!

Used it once so far. Rolled great, seems well built and has the perfect organization for me. The separate pocket on the top for shoes is really nice as a runner to keep dirty/smelly shoes separate, although my size 8.5 Hoka speedboats were a tight squeeze so those with larger feet or shoes might have trouble. Front pocket also came in handy to temporarily store phone/wallet through TSA and receipts later. It seems fairly heavy, but would rather have it be a bit overbuilt.

Item arrived in great condition and was much more heavy duty, accessible and light-weight than I even anticipated. It has up well on its first eight flights.

This is the perfect carry on for those that tend to over pack, but want to only bring a carry on. You can fit so much into it! Looking forward to bringing it with me on my 5 week adventure through Europe this summer!!

I bought this suitcase for my boyfriend's gift and he absolutely loved it. He loves Timbuk2's products before and he loves it even more cause of it's numerous compartments, sleek style, and overall convenience of the case. Definitely will purchase other products when my bags are due for a change.

The is a well designed bag, we bought several and made side by side comparisons, the Timbuk2 bag won. The materials and craftsmanship was far superior to the other bags we tested. A couple were more exxpensive a couple less. All in all I would buy a second one if the need was to arise.

So far so good. Only gone on one trip - but this roller handled beautifully. I was impressed with the build quality and the wheels seem indestructible. Looking forward to many more miles in the future.

I have the medium version of this luggage and used it as a carry on with ANA (Boeing 777 300-ER, 787 Dreamliner) and Cebu Pacific (Airbus A330). I was a little skeptical this would work as a carryon since it is much larger than my normal small carry on luggage, but it fit no problem in the side and center overhead bins, with the wheel pointed in. The dimensions are pretty close (almost exact with the limits) but no one from the airlines questioned it or asked me to measure it. I think the only thing to be considered is the weight if packed full. I was definitely overweight but no one asked to weigh it during check-in. YMMV if traveling on stricter airlines. RE the bag itself: It is well made and seems durable. I like the skateboard wheels a lot. It takes a little getting used to not having 360 spinner wheels but it is fine. When rolling in the plane aisle, it was easier to push it in front of me instead of pulling. When I first received the bag, I did notice the plastic base and handles were a little warped or crooked. It didn't affect anything with the bag, just something I noticed upon receiving. I was headed out for vacation shortly so didn't bother to return it. After using it for a month everything worked fine.

Using for all airplane travel. Standard for carry on luggage and so far it's great. Like the 2 pockets and extra access from the front. Durable. Good looking. Wheels seem really heavy duty.

I have the smaller version but needed more space for a long trip. This is still compact but you will be amazed at how much you can fit into it!

This was a Christmas gift to my grandson. He has been borrowing his older brothers Timbuk 2. It has all the features that he likes and needs. Therefore, he wanted an identical one for his off to college and vacation travels.

I've had this bag for several months now and have used it for roughly 20 flights. As a carry on, the M sized bag is perfect. I've been able to easily fit it in overhead compartments for many of the planes Southwest and Volaris use. The design was very well though out. I can cram about 45lbs worth of clothes into it. The front compartment allows for easy access to toiletries or anything you keep there. The wheels roll so smoothly and quietly. They're longbord wheels which easily make it over many cracks. It doesn't have 4 wheels so you can roll it sideways but I've never had an issue with that. If needed I would just carry the bag sideways which has only happened a very few amount of times. It's a beautiful bag and the quality stands out when next to other bags at an airport. I've had to gate check the bag a few times and it has held up to the abuse it gets from the handlers. Overall a very high quality and durable bag.

I bought two XL and they are amazing. The shoe pocket fits my giant shoes, really didn't expect that. Build quality is superb and the wheels feel great. Casters 4 wheels would also be amazing, but the two week solution is more compact so I get the trade off. Going to be getting a medium for more mobile trips and the ability to store in tighter places.

I love my Timbuk2 roller bag!! This is in fact the second one I've owned. Sadly my first bag (that I loved for like 10 years) couldn't be repaired so their excellent customer service team set me up with a new bag. And after taking it on 2 international trips it still has all the features I love... it's incredibly roomy, the size is just right to prevent me from seriously overpacking, it's sturdy yet stylish, and it's always easy to pull/navigate around an airport with. I cannot say enough about how much I love these bags and this company as a whole!

WE love these roller luggage items. Well-built and organize easily. This is the 4th suitcase we have in our family along with some bags/packs. The wheels make it so you can pull or push and go through gravel or cobblestone just fine. Over the years we have replaced all our suitcases with Tiumuk2 so traveling is easy - especially at funky airports, AirBNB drives, and historic district rough roads/sidewalks. Yes, they are slightly heavier when empty than swivel rollerbags but it is worth it for the stability. and with the front 'feet' it makes it so it doesn't run down a hill when you let go of it. All around Tuff! We do have some decent tumi pieces but they don't perform on the gravel well.

We love this larger case. Very roomy, easy to roll, and just what we needed for longer stays away from home.

At this point in time I use it to travel Local cities 2-6 houers way from home. I'm looking forward to use it when I traveling to japan. Suggestion would make a design with 4 tires. the Same style Longboard/beach cruiser tires. but on a castor so It can turn and swivel 360.

I just purchased this for my 10 year old. I have owned a copilot roller for many years and absolutely love it. It has huge capacity compared to other carry on roller luggage of this size. The fact that it has two sides when you open it makes organization easy. The only thing I would change, is I would love to see more color designs offered.

I bought this as a gift for my daughter. She requested as she used my Copilot and loved it. I've had mine for at least 8 yrs and it's still in great shape!

I purchased the XL as I've had the smaller version for years. The XL fit everything I needed it for gifts for the holidays with room to spare. It has a similar layout as the smaller version and it just makes sense.

High quality luggage! Spacious, with quality wheels that roll well, and organized in a way that makes sense for traveling. Not my first Timbuk2 purchase - I've had a Timbuk2 backpack for 5 years now and it's still in great shape. I have a feeling this luggage will hold up in the same capacity.
