Timbuk2 Swig Backpack

I owned another Timbuk2 backpack before buying this one, and with that other one, I kept losing my wallet in it because the outer pocket was so deep. It would cause many panic attacks at the airport when I would try to find my wallet.With this backpack, I love the 4 pockets on the outside. Then on the inside, I can fit so much. I carry my camera gear and DSLR in it. It doesn't have padding on the bottom, but that doesn't bother me. All of my stuff are in pouches of their own. I stick all of my nonessentials at the bottom and let it act as padding for my DSLR. The backpack doesn't really leave my back. It's so comfortable to wear. The side water bottle pocket is small. It fits my 24 oz Hydro Flask.

I love this backpack so much. The colors are amazing and the quality is excellent. Highly recommend.

This is a very well made, high quality bag. It has a number of external and internal pockets for small items, and the computer compartment will hold a 15" laptop. The side zip is especially handy for removing the laptop without opening the top. Note that it has a slim profile. It will comfortably hold a laptop and files or portfolio. But you're not going to put all your gym clothes in there too, or possibly your lunch if its in a big plastic container The top flap closes over, but really doesn't seal. But I don't think that it will be a real problem. Looks like it should be water resistant, and fine for fair weather bike commuting. This is not really a technical backpack, but its not meant to be. Overall a good backpack. You can get larger ones for the money, but if you want a slim, well made, backpack for business, this is it.

Great backpack. Not as much room as one might think but still roomy. No signs of wear. So comfy to walk around with. Really protects your laptop.

Best commuter pack. Doesn’t hold too much that I end up overpacking it. I can’t carry too much on my back for long periods of time so this bag is great. I’ve also received lots of comments.

Great bag, and exactly what I was looking for. But... after using it for only a week the right strap tore apart and now I’m having to sew it back together. Unfortunately it was too heavy duty of a job and broke my sewing machine needle, so I’m having to replace that as well, in order to finish repairing the strap. I’ve never had this issue before with Timbuk2 products.

It's a comfortable bag that doesn't carry a lot but what it does carry, it carries well.

I bought this Timbuk2 Swig as a park pack for use on a Walt Disney World trip. Being a Gemanophile, the colors and clean lines made it look like an ideal choice for the considerable time I planned to spend in the German pavilion.Unfortunately, it isn't the most practical WDW park pack. First, there are a bunch of zippers which means more time spent going through security checkpoints. Second, the straps are nicely padded but seem to be too closely set at the top of the pack, which (even with lightweight packing) causes shoulder fatigue quicker than other packs that I've used at the parks.If you plan on using it for carrying electronics it may be acceptable. But be warned that the laptop compartment is fairly lightly padded and wouldn't accommodate today's larger laptops. It may be ideal for a convertible (e.g.: SurfacePro).It is water resistant (but not waterproof.) It weathered brief rain showers and a couple of water rides. The canvas exterior got wet, but the contents remained dry.Styling: 9/10Comfort: 4/10Protection: 6/10Water resistance: 8/10Overall: 7/10
