Timbuk2 Classic Messenger 2010
After 20-years of R&D on city streets and backcountry roads, the new Classic Messenger is a worthy upgrade. My favorite feature is the "Napoleon" side entry pocket, which is great for stashing some extra cash, camera or iPod. When it's raining hard the last thing you want to do is open the main flap where your laptop and documents are, which is why a side entry pocket is useful. Retail $70-110 (depending on size... that's what she said <-- sorry, couldn't resist)
- Durable ballistic nylon exterior, waterproof TPU liner
- Improved Velcro placement along the top of the messenger flap and sides of the front panel makes reckless and uptight opening and closing equally effective. Also helps reduce the much-hated pilling of sweaters caused by unwanted Velcro contact.
- New memory-adjust True Fit cam buckle eliminates daily fit adjustments. Just unclick the cam, put the bag over your shoulder, and lock the cam back in for a perfect fit every time.
