Wherever your travels take you, it pays to have an easily accessible and well-organized bag for all those bits and pieces that you need to use frequently. You may have additional luggage, but a messenger bag, like the Timbuk 2, is a great solution for keeping the essentials close by. These lightweight bags come in various shapes and sizes – not to mention styles. In fact that’s the attraction – you can fully customize your bag to suit your needs.

Start by choosing the type of bag you want, and then you can select the size. Now choose the colors for each panel as well as the binding, logo and liner. You’ll also find some great optional accessories like a hideaway case for smartphones or a laptop sleeve. The level of customization on offer guarantees that you’ll get the look and functionality you require. These are comfortable bags and they protect your gear with padding, durable fabrics and waterproof TPU linings.

You will pay a little extra for a Timbuk 2 bag than you might for something off the shelf, but you’ll end up with the perfect bag for your travels. All the bags are made in San Francisco, shipped within 2 to 4 days and come with a lifetime guarantee. The value of a good functional bag that keeps your gear safe and organized should not be underestimated, and with Timbuk 2 you can show off a little of your personal style as well.
