This is my first Timbuk2 bag and so far its working out fairly well for my needs. This is used as a secondary bag to a Manhattan Portage messenger bag or backpack. I recently used it for personal items (make up, asthma inhaler) and a Nintendo Switch thats in a padded carrying case, bags of art supplies, a drawing tablet. Everything fit fairly well for a medium sized load. I wouldnt consider carrying either of my laptops in this bag unless they were in heavily padded sleeves. It will take some getting used to but overall Im pleased with it. I don't like the width of the strap. Im only 51 and the width of the strap is a bit much on my shoulder. It fits my husbands broader frame better than mine but he cant have this bag unless it drives me nuts and only further use will determine if that strap issue wrecks me. I like the wide stripe of Velcro closure and the pair of buckling straps to keep everything secure. There are several secure pockets and a leash for your keys. I love me a leash for my keys and believe they should be in every bag ever made. It seems very sturdy, so Im confident I won't kill it any time soon. Oh! It doesnt show lint or attract lint which is great since I bought it in BLACK.
