Customer Reviews Timbuk2 Flight Classic Messenger - Small

This bag is great for little old ladies like me who have to carry 3-4 kinds of medications, plus emergency supplies, plus a book or two, and sometimes even a laptop for conventions that give hand-outs digitally. The key was finding a color that was not black, deep black, forest black, or dully dull grey. On the other hand, the choices were in-your-face neon. Gentle, pastel Eucalyptus was a revelation that I stumbled on just in time. Held everything, and easy to carry slung across my back. Enough pockets to find a variety of stuff quickly and easily. Yes, the Velcro is noisy, but enough pockets were available from the outside that the noise could be avoided when necessary. Good job, Timbuk2. Thx.

The new flight messenger bag is lightweight and durable! The xs fits everything I need to carry on a day-to-day basis - iPad, book, pens, keys and wallet! I really like how the brass/army colorway is easy to match with any casual outfit!

I had this same bag previously and it held up to 8 years of weekday commuting on public transit. It was starting to get a bit beat up on the bottom (still functioned perfectly), so I decided that it was time to finally get a new one. I didn't hesitate to buy the same thing again.

I just bought this bag in XS to try and downsize my daily carry. It might violate the laws of physics: there's way more room on the inside than the outside. The pocket in the back fits the new 2018 iPad Pro 11 with Smart Keyboard folio perfectly, and also has room for phone, wallet, keys, and even a mini umbrella. There's an odd strap that goes over the top, but I don't mind it (though I'm not sure what it's for). Also, the flare one is SO DELIGHTFULLY NEON. I own an embarrassingly large number of Timbuk2 bags, but I think this is my favorite.

This extra small messenger bag has tons of pockets and compartments. This size will fit a small tablet, but is not big enough to fit a laptop. The different compartments allow my phone and/or tablet to be protected because I can keep them separated from other items in the bag. The zippered pocket is a great place to keep my keys or other small items so I don't have to dig around to find them. The bag closes with plastic buckles, but also has Velcro so you don't have to snap and unsnap the buckles every time you open the bag as the buckles are a little hard to use initially. The outer fabric feels sturdy enough for daily use. This is a nice "purse" size bag that allows me to carry items to and from work.

Timbuk2 delivers again. I've been buying their bags for 20 years and each time I get a new one you can tell that they continually are thinking of ways to improve on their designs, and this one is not different. I love the adjustability of the strap and the dual sided stash pocket. Great work!

The color is fantastic. As any Timbuk2, pockets are great.

My 18 year old son uses this back everyday. It is made out of amazing high quality and is the perfect size! I would highly recommend this bag for anyone looking to purchase a super cool, durable and perfect for daily use.

Great for the daily hauling of everything from home office to hotel space in the office. Fits the 17" laptop and accessories with plenty of space for everything else I don't have anyplace to leave in the office. Strap and adjustment works great.

Use it as a daily and for travel. Lightweight lots of room. Easy to walk around with. Haven't used on bicycle yet but I'm sure it will be perf t

I love it! The size, workmanship, and color are great. I have an OG xs bag from like 20 years ago and it's still going strong. I expect this one will also last.

Perfect size for a day exploring a city.

Terrific bag! Love it! As an EMT, i use it for shorter hikes near my home and carry first aid gear, flashlight and NARCAN, binoculars, and a small flashlight so I am ready for basic first aid needs as well as wildlife watching. Very well constructed!

Love it! Well made.

Great design. It feels sturdy and well made.

This is the 4th bag I have bought from Timbik2, so obviously I like the product and company, which speaks to the longevity and consistent quality of this company. I bought my first bag from them when I was a bike courier in Manhattan. In fact, Patagonia changed their bag buckle concept and design based on what I told them about Timbuk2 (yes the world is that small, and yes I know this claim sounds silly). The buckle that sinches the main strap shut is great on this one. One size down, or the model from a couple of years ago, doesn't have as good of a buckle. My one complaint is that I wish more places carried these bags to I could really see and inspect the size. I got a new bag only because my last one was a little bit too small.

Well-made product and it keeps everything organized. Makes travelling much simpler and I really like how easily the strap adjusts up or down.

I got this to be a dog sports bag for bringing essentials to training and trials. The size is great, there are plenty of pockets, and everything I want to fit fits. I've had great experience with other bags in the past and was happy to get a bigger bag in my dog's color.

I absolutely love this bag. It holds everything I lug around- which is a lot! I have a book, sketchbook, iPad, wallet, phone, pens, makeup, keys, etc. The slate color is beautiful, too.

Perfect size for my needs

I'm a social worker and wanted a comfortable bag that could be used for the office as well as for quick travel. This bag is by far the most comfortable I've tried and its quality is suburb. I wanted to invest in a bag that will last years and this one is perfect. I'm happy that I won't have to purchase another work bag for years. Totally with the price.

As always, I absolutely love my Timbuk2 bag! Such high quality, they last for years- and now even better that they are made with recycled materials.

This the third messenger bag I've purchased from Timbuk2 in the past fifteen years. Always practical, durable, and cool. They've only refined their bags with better pocket placement and strap adjustment. I take it to work every day, and the black rip stop is a professional look. I'll be carrying it when I bike commute come better weather.

I got the jade color, it's beautiful! I bought a smaller version a few years ago and it's still like new. Very nice quality and a lot of pockets. This one will be my watercolor bag for when we leave home.

I use this bag when I fly. It's the perfect size and fits everything I need on the plane, whether it's an international or domestic flight. I love the color and the spacious compartments. It's my Christmas present to myself and I'm extremely happy!
