Customer Reviews Timbuk2 Catapult Sling

Great commuter and day bag

I love this bag. I needed something to carry all my supplies while running amok in the hospital (why scrubs only have one tiny pocket I will never understand). This thing definitely delivers. It holds everything I need it to without being too bulky or cumbersome and it is comfortable enough to keep on for the entire day without my shoulder getting annoyed or my back getting sweaty (hey, they said be honest here). The rest of my department is heavily considering following my lead and ordering a sling for themselves too. Bottom line: It is a great bag, does everything I need it to do, and I would order it again in a heartbeat.

I bought a large custom messenger bag about 10 years ago, and although it's still alive and kicking, I needed something much smaller for day to day use. This bag is the perfect size for the daily items I carry. If I could change anything about it, I'd want the shoulder pad to be adjustable, and for a detachable cross body brace, as sometimes the strap rides up my neck a bit. Those are both very minor things though, and not enough to stop me from purchasing another one if I needed it.

The bag is the perfect size, the strap is very comfortable as it comes with a shoulder pad. It is easy to clean and has many compartments for all your things. I love that it's "eco-friendly". It is extremely practical and sleek.

If your looking for a small, everyday bag to carry your stuff that's not going to make it into your pockets, this is your bag. It's well made, sits close to your body, and it's perfect for a small tablet, backup battery, your phone, and a small family of mice.

I love this bag more than I thought was possible! I use it every day. The top opening is amazing and it fits everything I need to carry on a daily basis. Only wish it came in more colors!

Great bag on the smaller side to use for everyday when traveling.

A great travel bag! It fits 2 iPads and some. I'd buy another one if other colors are available.

I use this bag everyday! My valuables are secured while leaving my hands free

I purchased this bag to use while riding my bike around town when my regular messenger bag is not necessary. It's the right size for everything I need for a quick trip.

I used this for quick rides around the city. The ease of access to the main pocket is clutch. As is the reversible shoulder strap.

The perfect size for everyday use! Love the thoughtful design and the sturdy construction.

I really enjoy the size and features of this sling pack. It's perfect for me to throw my Fujifilm X100F into with a few other things I carry every day. Recommend as a EDC bag for sure. * I also own a Timbuk2 Classic Messenger bag and this is a much better bag for daily stuff around town, and my Classic is best for laptop work related or photography work stuff with enough room for everything I need.

I received this product as was estimated, there were no issues with the product nor packaging. Now, this product is excellent im build quality and materials used. I am currently using this product lightly, as I have so far only used it once for an medical appointment. I carried to this appointment a thin document in the designated location in this product. This document was an 8.5x11 size, and this bag, an OS/ Eco Black, was not wide enough to to place documents such as the one I used, placed on its side. As such, i just had the document in the vertical position, which worked out perfectly for me. Aa a cross-body bag it is perfect too.

Using for my everyday carry. Perfect size to fit all I need for the day

This little bag is great as a man-purse. I'm a professional photographer so I use Timbuk2's large messenger bags for photog equipmentall the time. My wallet, keys, checkbook, etc were always lost and scattered among the bags. On a shoot the last thing I am thinking about it where to put those important items. I do NOT put keys etc in my pockets because, once again, photog equipment has priority. This little bag (I got the yellow because it is easy to see among my other bags) is perfect. And I AirTag it which makes it even better. I do NOT carry cash, I have copies of all my important things in my wallet (DL, CC's, etc); I don't use my debit card except at the bank to get cash. I carry minimal cash so if my Eco gets separated from me I won't lose much. (Yes, I write checks; too much online robbery, etc.. CC's I can dispute a charge and win the accusation; Debit is too risky if it's stolen; online thieves do not mess with the long coding of a draft/check). Only thing I'd change is to have an easily removable neck strap. I carry this thing under my arm, near my armpit and the strap is a nuisance to me. I need to remove it. Otherwise, it's 100% what I need it to be.

Great little bag. More room than a fanny pack for when I need to carry a few more things. This has become my everyday carry bag. The internal pocket for the iPad could be a bit bigger for an iPad in a case, and it'd be nicer if it had a space to put Apple Pencil in that scenario. But I just put iPad in a case in the main compartment. I like the top zipper that lets me get the iPad out at a meeting without the crunch and rip of velcro.

I just bought the Sling and recently used it while traveling. I love it. Holds all the essentials for a plane - phone, charging cable, headphones and book - without the need to carry a larger bag. I'm looking forward to taking it to Europe this summer. My only "beef" with it is the placement of the shoulder pad. For some reason, the designers felt it should be permanently affixes to one end if the strap. It should be adjustable. Whether I wear the bag in the front, or (my preference) the back, the shoulder pad does not rest on my shoulder. I am in the process of remedying the situation as I type. Otherwise, though, a great purchase.

I use this bag for weekend errands because I prefer to be hands-free. This bag is great. A perfect size yet holds a lot. The top zip provides easy access to the bag and I have received many compliments on it. My husband loves the built in bottle opener

Just as advertised, great! Right size and works great

My husband loved the versatile Eco Army Pop.

I already have a couple of these in different colors. I bought this one as a gift because my partner always wants to steal mine so now they have their own.

Easy to use and great size.

I use it like any sling bag, mostly in the front, sometimes across the back. It looks great, has just the right amount of storage, and suits my casual clothing style. The one thing that would accommodate better use or fit, is if the strap pad were not permanently attached and could be moved around or even taken off. That strap pad is a little bulky for me, especially over a coat. Actually, I found a way to snip off the stitching and remove it when I want to.

It has been the best bag I've ever bought. I took it with me to Germany and it is the perfect day bag for my everyday carry. I won't go anywhere without it!
