Easy and fun to make a custom bag for my boyfriend for Christmas. He loved it and it feels well made.

Great product. Easy to order. This is my second bag...and for my daughter who is just getting into biking. My original is still tried and true...holding up to 3x per week commute ride. Timbuk2 is a great product...worth the price.

That kind of trust means a lot to us. We hope both of you continue to enjoy many miles ahead!

This is the second back pack, bought it to replace a waterproof expandable version that I loved. This backpack however is made of material that attracts dirt, it has a lot of straps that fall off easily, the pull straps to adjust the shoulders are so slim and are indistinguishable from other lose straps and nothing fits in the water bottle holder. The design is frustrating, which defeats the purpose of the purchase.

I ordered a custom bag. The creation process was easy and fun. Shipping was on time. The materials and construction are sturdy and well crafted. The bag was slightly larger than I had anticipated so I recommend double checking the measurements. otherwise everything was fantastic!

One of the plastic buckles broke within less than a month. And the padded shoulder add-on was way too bulky and stiff to be usable so I just decided not to use it at all. I also miss the colored contrast stitching from the previous versions of this bag I’ve happily owned (was such a fun detail). This is maybe my fourth (third in this size). All in all getting this newest bag felt like a downgrade. I wish it were otherwise, because I have historically been happy with these bags. But it’s the general trajectory of things, so…

Love the bag I got. Multiple purpose use and lots of safe places to put your important things as well as convenient pouches for easy access like phone.

I ordered 2 different bag designs thinking I would choose the one that fit my needs best. Instead I kept them both as they are so well make and designed that I had uses for both. What a great company and commitment to quality!
