Timbuk2 Alcatraz

I'm happy with this bag, overall. I like that the laptop sleeve is small--other laptop bags are so bulky whether the laptop is in there or not, this bag is more like a regular lightweight day pack. The pockets are nice, I especially like the dedicated cable pocket. My only complaints are that (1) th...

I am a fan of Timbuk2 bags and had high hopes for this backpack, but it did not work out. First disappointment was the color: I ordered the purple/barley/potrero color and thought I was getting a grey bag with purple and brown panels (that's how it looked to me in the website photo). But the color "...

I loved the look and feel of this bag because its longer and can fit a lot as well as being very light. The thing is I felt my laptop was not safe in the compartment even with a case. It doesn't have a hammock to keep it away from the bottom of the bag and no protection on the bottom is available. I...

This backpack is awesome, I'm using it for school so it's tall shape is not ideal, but it fits very comfortably. The laptop brick pocket is awesome and makes organization very easy. The inside of the main pocket also has a great organizer for keys, knife, pens etc. Also if you pack it with your clot...

Great color. Not to wide for a woman's body. Straps are very comfortable and easy to adjust. The only drawbacks are that it is a little to shallow front to back to fit much. It's more long/tall than anything. Also the outside compartments are a bit small, especially the water bottle compartment.

This is a great bag, and for the price it is an awesome deal. I use it for everything - day hikes, traveling (domestic and international), going to the library, going to work, etc. Many compartments and I have received many compliments as well. Highly recommend!

Human nature is already in the state of vanity, not buying what they need, but what they want. What is the difference to your stomach, a soup from the gold bowl, or earthware?

I got my backpack back when Timbuk2 was having a sale on it, so I got it for $45. I think for this price, it was a great deal as this backpack has proven to be very versatile. I usually use it for school, and it is actually able to carry a great deal. I can fit my laptop, notebooks, books, 32 oz wat...

I usually don't review stuff, but I am beyond pleased with this bag. Some of the reasons why: 1) very tight laptop compartment. Last backpack I had had a large laptop sleeve and my computer was always knocking around. I have a 13" macbook and it fits tight in here. (Though, fair warning, I'm not sur...

I ride my bike or the train to work every day and was looking for a backpack to carry my gear for the commute. I'm really happy with this one and have used it for almost a year now. Timbuk2 is known for their quality and this backpack fits the bill. It's a little taller and more rectangular than squ...
