This is a good size bag for a long weekend. I'm 6' tall and wear and XL shirt so I needed a bit larger bag for a weekend trip. The bag material and construction lived up to what I'd expect. The cinch down straps help keep the bag from bulging out. The lack of a water bottle holder is a bummer. I would have liked to have seen a strap over the laptop sleeve. The shoe compartment isn't huge; fitting hiking boots in there isn't likely. I would have liked to have seen the main compartment to have been deeper, since packing this bag can be tricky.

Great bag, enough space for 1 to 2 night travel. It feels good to carry around for long hours of walk.
Btw. I'm still waiting for my 10% discount after registering my contact number. Thanks

It just barely fits under a Hawaiian Air Airbus seat if I don't stuff it, otherwise it goes in the overhead. The Biltz is lightweight, well made, handsome and generally well designed, albeit I'd like a few more interior pockets for small items. Obviously it's intended as a weekend travel bag but makes a nice day to day carry if you need to hump around a lot of stuff. The Blitz plus a carry-on roller gives me enough cargo space for a 2 week trip!

I bought this for every day use as a work bag, and IMO it is not great for that. The main compartment has straps for tying down the contents, which is not ideal for the many little things I have in my work bag. and the front pocket is very slim.
WTHBS, it is an excellent piece of luggage. It fits under the airline seat, even fully loaded. It is waterproof. I was caught in a downpour without an umbrella, and by hiding under it, the backpack did a fine job of keeping me dry. And none of the electronics inside got a drop on them. It holds a LOT of gear. The carry handles and side straps (which can be used to strap the bag onto a roller bag) are very handy. The bag is sturdy and seems like it will last a long time. Cons-no water bottle pocket on the side. The back compartment is too narrow for anything besides a laptop or paperwork. Anything smaller will slide down and get lost. IMO the shoe pocket underneath is too shallow to be really useful. And I have not had it for long, checked it ever, or used it for many trips. But I am already noticing faded marks on the waterproof coating on the backpack. Beyond aesthetics, I worry that it means the bag will be less waterproof as time goes on. Still, it is a great bag and I anticipate getting many years of use out of it.

I plan to use this product everyday for school and work. It is pretty big and fits the neccessary items I use everyday. It fits my 15 inch laptop and my textbooks. The design is neat and the material used is one of the best! Highly recommend.

My husband and I love this bag, it seams that every time we use it, we find a new pocket lol. We use it for everyday use, traveling exc, but my husband absolutely loves using it for a man diaper bag lol. It's overall a really nice durable bag that you can use in whatever way you wish.

This Timbuk2 Blitz pack backpack is better than expected! It has a ton of pockets to store all your essentials (phone, tablet/computer, make-up bag, snacks, shoes/gym gear, etc) and more, so there's really no need for packing any little extra bags. The straps and back are padded for comfort and there are several clips to adjust/expand the bag to accommodate bulky clothes, books, etc. to provide more room without overstuffing this bag. Another great feature is that the material of the bag is lightweight (a polyurethane and polyethylene blend), yet sturdy and will be easy to clean and maintain. I really like that this bag can be carried as a backpack or as a tote since there is also a handle on the side of the bag, so carrying it is easy either way. Sizewise, it is much larger than a standard bag, but it can store SO MUCH and isn't heavy at all! I'll definitely be using this for my weekend travel bag, as it is certainly the type of bag that's suitable to pack a few days worth of clothes, toiletries, shoes, and my tablet or to pack a few snacks, water bottles, my swimsuit, towel, and flip-flops, etc. This is a great, high quality bag and one I will definitely recommend to students, travelers, Mom's, or anyone who likes a multi-functional, spacious and awesome looking bag!

I've been researching for a new travel bag for a few months now and I may have found the one. My requirements are that it will fit carry-on rules of most international airlines and has backpack straps to allow me to remain hands free and finally that it opens like a suitcase. The hands free part is key when walking around airports, train stations, ferries, and other places in Europe or Southeast Asia for example.
I want it to open like a suitcase because I don't want to have to pull everything out of my bag to find one thing. This bag is also great because it has several easily accessible pockets for all the stuff I need throughout a trip - cords, phone, laptop/tablet/kindle. The laptop/tablet sleeve is padded too!
I put a volleyball in the bag for scale. The bottom part of the bag expands. It's interesting that the top does not expand, but as long as it fits my stuff, it doesn't matter. There are also straps to tight everything up and make it secure.
Lastly, the bag looks very sharp. It's a nice matte black color. The branding is minimal and I think enhances the look of the bag. It'll look great in any urban area, and I won't stick out like such a tourist.
Very excited to take this bag on my next trip.

I love how lightweight it is. It is perfect for traveling and because it's thin enough is great for flying on Spirit or Frontier airlines because it can fit under the seat (fo free!). With the multiple compartments and pockets, it's easy to put my wallet safely away and still have easy access.

This bag is amazing. The quality is top notch and incredibly well made. The straps and pockets are extremely friendly. It even has a U-Lock strap for the bike riders out there. While it's a bit long for my liking, it outweighs that with practicality. Amazing product!

Finally upgraded my backpack game. My old one didn't have half the the storage space the Blitz Pack offers. Not to mention, the pack gives me insane street creed on my commute. The ladies love it!

I used the back pack a couple of times to get the feel of it. At first it's a little stiff but after some loving wear it shapes itself to your back. I love the idea that it has a laptop compartment and many pockets for me to put my notebook and memory cards for my camera which I also put in the bag. I do some personal photography on my spare time, and I tend to upload my images right away if I can. So being able to carry my laptop and SLR in this bag is just perfect! Then after taking my photos, I just put on my back pack and walk around the city .

I mostly use it for traveling and work. The backpack is very nice but is not too fancy looking.

This is a large bag! Perfect if you don't want to take your typical wheel based luggage on a trip with you. Lots of storage and it expands really wide. It's kind of shiny so be aware of that if you prefer something less flashy. Great for traveling, not so much for everyday use.

This bag is a great size for 3 to 4 day trip or for the minimalist traveler. Like the Wander pack, it's "shoe garage" is great for dirty clothes or toiletries.

This pack is a solid midsized travel backpack. Back padding and straps make this bag comfortable to carry even when fully loaded. I like the tricot line pocket for my phone or sunglasses. My only wish there was more pockets to keep my gear organized.

The design of this backpack is great. It is very versatile, from everyday use to carry-on bag for short travels. I like this product a lot. Unfortunately, it is NOT durable and this is not acceptable for the price. I have used it for less than a year and the outside is almost completely ruined. It has lost colors and some holes appeared to the utmost external plastic layer, that makes the backpack not waterproof.

I bought this backpack last September in one of my trips in the US. I was impressed with the huge interior, the shoe compartment and the ability to transform from a backpack to a duffel bag in an instance. A few months later, with light daily usage, the color close to the zippers and the handle started fading which is unacceptable for a backpack at this price range.
To make things worst the customer support took 2-3 weeks to reply each time and never got back to me after I told them I now live in London!
