Timbuk2 is a household name among college students and metropolitan hipsters alike. The iconic messenger bag has been around for 20 years, as hard as that is to believe. Bullz-Eye recently had a chance to take a look at the company’s latest product, the classic messenger bag, updated with a giraffe print.
Here’s an excerpt from the review:
Apart from the outside of the bag, which features a more stylish canvas fabric instead of the usual ballistic fiber, the Giraffe Messenger is practically identical to its bestselling forebear. The ballistic nylon boot ensures that you can put it down on any surface without worrying about the canvas getting ruined, and the waterproof TPU liner protects the contents inside from getting soaked in the rain. The two large Velcro strips and buckle clips that secure the outside flap also help prevent unwanted damage, but it’s not exactly a fortress like Booq’s line of laptop messengers. You can also attach an optional cross strap for added security, but unless you plan on wearing it while riding a bike (in which case it’s incredibly useful), the strap can be a little too tight for comfort.
