We tested a bag with all the trimmings and think you should get the internal dividers because without them even the medium size is a very large bucket of a bag. You can also choose to add different color panels, rain resistant or other materials rather than the normal Cordura fabric, and internal divider, or at additional cost inner water bottle pockets and a padded laptop sleeve. Regular Timbuk2 messengers are for right-handed left shoulder carry only as the straps are not reversible. Importantly, it lets you pick if you are a left-handed wearer of a messenger bag so would want to wear it over your right shoulder. But that aside, it costs from $124 for the smallest size and gives you tons of options to build your bag. The custom model is only on the US site, so if you live in another country you might have to pay import tax. You can opt for the regular classic messenger bag in an array of colors at prices from $99/ £117 for the medium size we recommend (it comes in several), but you might want to check out the company’s custom classic messenger purchasing option instead.
But it’s good enough to make our list of the best laptop bags because of how customisable it is at purchase, and how versatile it is in day to day use.
OK, OK, so this isn’t technically a backpack. That’s where the term ‘messenger bag’ comes from in the first place. Timbuk2 is a well-established San Francisco bag brand originally designed for bike messengers to carry stuff in. It’s a more traditional shape with comparable 20L capacity along with more sections–namely a dedicated laptop compartment with its own zip–and pockets if that’s more the kind of thing you need.Ĭapacity: 9L (XS), 14L (S), 21 (M), or 28 (L) The Commuter (pictured on the left, $155/£125) is available in two colors and is also made from British Millerain premium Tekwax canvas. The magnets on the lid have been replaced with a more secure G clip. Not only does The Backpack look great-available in All Black and Pirate colors-the craftsmanship is exceptional. If you need a fully waterproof bag then look to The Roll Top. Furthermore, the material is now water-resistant premium Tekwax canvas (also found on the new The Weekender – a holdall with a laptop compartment). This updated model has a 21L main compartment and you can fit up to a 16in laptop in the protected section at the back. You also get side pockets for items like water bottles. Instead, it’s simple and effective with just a pocket on the front and a small one inside. And we’ve included two here because they’re both so nice.įirst up is ‘ The Backpack‘, which isn’t an overly complicated rucksack with more pockets than you can remember. We’ve no doubt that Stubble & Co is making some of the most stylish and well-made bags around. It has clever magnetic snap-shut buckles that slide open and a clever orange lining-instead of black-that helps you easier quickly glance and see what’s inside. Its simplicity is its secret – a slender bag with surprising capacity that fits up to 14in laptops along with books, chargers, water bottle and more. This round up is mainly for two-strap backpacks, but the quality of the Waterfield Essential messenger is so good we also wanted to give it a shout out. There’s also a well-made messenger bag version if you prefer a shoulder bag. The single padded and fleece-lined laptop pouch is big enough for 14in and even some 16in devices, with a simple velcro strap to hold things in place. Outer pockets on each side will hold water bottles or small umbrellas, and there are zipped compartments on both the inside and outside for keeping track of your loose bits and pieces. Built from water-resistant nylon, with waterproof seals around the zips, this is sturdy enough to survive the elements, with a structured body that holds its shape even when the bag is empty. The aesthetic is simple, but sleek, with a choice of colorful accents below the black body. The ‘Essential’ laptop bag from WaterField is, well, focussed on the essentials – but it really nails them.
