Timbuk2unisex-adult Commute Messenger Bag 2.0 Laptop Messenger Bag

This is exactly what I was after. The side pocket carries a thin water bottle (recommend getting a metal one). Plenty of interior room. I guess it could be a bit better if it had some smaller interior pockets, but overall I'm very pleased.

Very well designed and crafted. In use daily. This is my second bag after the first one lasted 6 years.

I was deciding between the Timbuk2 Messenger classic bag or this commute, but decided on the Commute because it had an external water bottle holder and luggage pass through.While the water bottle holder seems a bit too small to hold my water bottle, its still pretty good for holding an umbrella or my sunglasses. Overall, the bag feels a bit too big for my everyday use but on days where I need to stuff all my things, it works like a charm. Love the numerous compartments too, though I've ended up using only a handful of them because I have trouble recalling which compartment I've put it into.All in all, highly recommended if you're looking for a messenger bag, though the water bottle holder compartment will probably be a bit too small for you.

I had to get this to replace my old one which is a still good just looking a little raggedy. Love love love these bags for work! They hold so much

The front strap buckle is missing from the bag.
