Timbuk2Robin Commuter Laptop Backpack

I'm not a biker, but I bought this backpack anyways and I'm so glad I did! I was torn between the Robin Pack and the Robin Pack Light, and I'm glad I went with the slightly bigger one -- the Robin Pack is already a bit light on the pockets, and the Robin Pack Light wouldn't have had enough storage! As is, the bottom, zippered pocket (the reflective one) is quite small -- I fit a reusable grocery bag in there and not much else. The middle pocket is awesome -- it magnetically closes and remains quite secure. The large pocket fits my Macbook Pro (13") comfortably, and has plenty of space for the rest of my stuff, but it does NOT have any additional pockets inside, so it all floats around in there. Not a problem for me, but something to note. That larger pocket closes with two magnetic "hooks," which I've found easy enough to use, though some other reviewers have complained about them. Then the rain fly is tucked in a tiny pouch at the very bottom of the bag, accessible from the outside.The bag rests comfortably and securely on my shoulders -- I have back pain, and it barely bothers my back! LOVED this purchase, I'm so glad I splurged and went for it! I wasn't sure if an expensive backpack would be worth it, but it's made a huge difference.

This bag is deceptively clever in its design. At first glance, the inside of the bag felt extremely small. And, initially, I couldn't find the laptop pouch and was bummed out. I had to give the bag "a moment" and my frustration a "time out". Then I found it. Score. In addition to laptop storage, the main compartment is large enough to hold gym sneakers, a towel, pair of shorts and jersey with a wee bit more room to spare. The bag is perfect for general, everyday tasks such as gym and computer stuff.

Extremely well made. Good size for daily use for work. Fits my work laptop, notepad and room for lunch/dog supplies for when I take my dog to work. I do wish there were a few more pockets or a little better organization inside, but otherwise the bag is great - and not too large.

It's great not having zippers to fiddle with when I need something right away. The design and sleek look is what drew me to this. It fits my 15" MacBook Pro perfectly along with other small peripherals. Travels well as a carry-on or personal item for all airlines. I took a star off because there are some aspects that annoy me: there's a hidden pouch that houses a water proof sleeve for stormy weather, which is bulky and takes valuable space. Secondly, at full capacity, it looks like I'm wearing a red sausage on my back. I've seen another cool hipster wear the black version which looks just as cool/sleek. I'd recommend this backpack to urbanites in gloomy weather.

This bag is sleek and modern, which I love, but my favorite part of this bag is that it's great for a shorty like me because it's slim and compact. Also has good pockets, built-in protected laptop sleeve, and very cool magnetic closures. I wear this daily on a 6-mile bike commute and it's very comfortable.

I've been using this pack for a few weeks now and it seems to be very well constructed. I will say that if you are planning on carrying more than a few spirals and a laptop that it will be a tight fit but it isn't meant to be a giant backpack and that is one of the things I enjoy about it. 10/10 would purchase again.

Good bag, but the top flap is useless. If you have it packed FULL of puffy sweaters there may be enough pressure against the top to keep the magnets attached, as long as you don't do any sort of movement that would twist or bend the bag whatsoever, like resting it gently on your slightly uneven front car seat. If you need things to stay IN your bag, this one is not for you. If you need a functional top flap, this one is not for you. If you want to spend less than a full minute getting the horribly designed magnets to line up JUST right to get it to close only to pop itself open a couple minutes later when it twists ever so slightly, this is not the bag for you.Otherwise, it's quite good. I love that it has TWO bottle holders (that can hold 2x 24 oz bottles, or even 32 ounce if they are shaped right). I cannot ever imagine why most bags will only now give you one bottle holder. Is it so expensive to sew an extra flap of fabric on both sides of a bag? I drink a lot of water and I also want the bag to be evenly balanced. Honestly for me that's the only reason I still use this bag.There's no question in my mind the next model of this bag will have a better top flap system. There is no possible way the person who designed the top flap has not already been fired from the company for letting something like this make it into production, and I am certain Timbuk2 knows how bad the flap is. It could be a great bag otherwise, but wait for the next release before spending this much on a bag.

Little bit smaller than I think otherwise it is good bag!!

Sehr schön desingter Rucksack, gut verarbeitet und insgesamt sehr praktisch.Nachdem ich schon viele Rucksäcke gehabt habe ist dieser eindeutig der Beste.

I am not typically a review-writer, but I feel compelled to leave a review for this bag. It is far and away the very best backpack for urban (cycle) commuting that I have found. I researched and looked at over a dozen bags before I settled on this one, and I couldn't be more pleased. The look of the bag is stylish and streamlined. The discreet reflective panel is amazing. The material is soft and sturdy at the same time. And the attention to detail is unbelievable. For example, the chest and waist straps are fully removable -- why don't all bags have this feature?! Even the hidden pocket with a stashed rain cover is amazing. The rain cover itself is such a bonus, plus it also has discreet reflective panels. The laptop sleeve is padded and easily fits my macbook pro. I am absolutely blown away by how amazing this bag is, especially for an urban cyclist commuter!

Los materiales de esta mochila son de muy buena calidad, me gusto que tenga integrada su propio rain coat que funciona excelente estuve en una lluvia intensa de 15 min y no se mojo nada al interior, las bolsas integradas funcionan bien y la bolsa con imanes al frente es un plus te deja tener acceso rápido a tus llaves y cartera, el único inconveniente es que no es muy grande en el bolso para laptop entro mi laptop xiaomi air de 13.3 pulgadas y una MacBook pro de 15.6 pero justa las bolsas laterales se abrirán dependiendo cuanto tengas ocupado el interior fuera de eso es muy cómoda y versatil

Semplice, di costruzione robusta e nel contempo di design sportivo

The product is just as described. Is definitely the best backpack for commuting on bicycle.
