Originally built for hard-working bicycle messengers, the Timbuk2 Classic messenger bag has been in production for nearly two decades now. The Classic is known for its long-lasting, rugged durability and distinctive three-panel, multicolor design, leading people around the world to adopt the bag as an everyday, all-purpose carryall. The bag is built for the long haul, with a ballistic nylon exterior and a waterproof liner that keeps the elements at bay. The bag also offers plenty of interior storage regardless of the size you choose, with a large main compartment, a front pocket with an extra zippered pocket, and multiple internal pockets, including pen slots and a business card slot. Finally, the Classic is a breeze to carry, with a quick-adjust, side-cam shoulder strap and a strap pad. Other features include a cross strap for stabilization (not available on the extra-small size), a Vista light attachment loop, and either tabs (XS) or tails (all other sizes). The Classic messenger bag remains the bag of choice for bicycle messengers, cycling enthusiasts, and urban dwellers everywhere.

The Classic messenger bag stores a ton of gear in its multiple pockets.

About Timbuk2
Born in a San Francisco garage and bred on the backs of messengers in the city streets, Timbuk2 still manufactures its custom bags in the heart of San Francisco's Mission District. For 20 years, the company has been building bags and accessories for urban adventurers with a simple philosophy: to create good-looking, tough-as-hell bags you can truly make your own. Timbuk2 celebrates your individuality, which is why the company invites its customers to design and create custom bags in its Bag Builder. By letting you hack its bags, the company believes it can make bags that work harder for you.

Like rice and beans, Timbuk2 keeps it simple when it comes to being pro-planet. The company makes durable bags that are built to last, so while the competition is piling up in landfills, Timbuk2 bags stay on your back and hugs you for a lifetime. Tales of Timbuk2 bags outlasting jobs, lovers, pets, and train wrecks are not uncommon. In fact, the company is so confident in its bags that it guarantees that they'll last a lifetime. In those rare cases when something bad goes down, Timbuk2 will take your bag off your hands and find it a new (loving) home through its bag recycling program.

After two decades of nurturing, we've pushed our classic messenger out of the nest and onto the street. Armed with a vastly improved cam buckle, side-entry Napoleon pocket, color-coordinated, three-zipper front organizer, and an incredibly useful slash pocket, our Classic Messenger is all grown up. These feature upgrades mean better performance in everyday urban adventures. If only we'd been this wise at 17.
