Timbuk2 Division Deluxe Laptop Backpack

A very well made work backpack, perhaps just a little disappointed that it doesn't have many interior pockets/ pen storage etc as many other bags do.

Depending on taste and needs some may find it a bit too deep and not wide enough, i.e. few longer items=> good; many smaller items=>not so good, you will have to dig around.

I’ve been using the Timbuk2 Division Laptop Backpack Deluxe (Eco Static) for a few weeks now, and I can honestly say it’s worth every penny. Yes, it’s about $150, quite a jump compared to the $30 packs out there, but the quality, comfort, and design make the difference obvious. Though compact, it’s surprisingly roomy: it easily holds a folded hooded sweatshirt along with the essentials. Unlike larger backpacks that force you to take them off when you sit, this one is slim enough to act as a comfortable back cushion, letting me stay seated on benches or bus seats without any hassle. One of the standout features is the waterproof boot at the base. It’s flexible yet firm, allowing the bag to stand upright on its own, a small but incredibly useful touch. The designers also clearly thought about comfort: the front clasp connecting the shoulder straps does wonders for weight distribution, making it much easier on the shoulders during longer carries. And with Timbuk2’s lifetime guarantee, I see this as a one-time investment. It feels built to last, and I honestly expect it to be the last backpack I’ll ever need to buy. If you’re debating whether the premium is justified, my experience says absolutely yes. It’s not just a backpack, it’s peace of mind, daily comfort, and long-term value.

Solide, contenance appréciable, très bonne finitions.

This was my first bag from this brand, and I’m totally disappointed. Unfortunately, I have no choice but to keep using it since I already unpacked and used it in the rain for the first time—meaning I can’t return it. The water leaked inside, and I was extremely worried about my laptop. I’ve been using my Thule backpack for almost four years, and it never leaked like this. Another major downside is the lack of small pockets; everything ends up messy in one large front compartment. I really regret choosing this bag, but I have to use it for at least a year. It’s such a terrible situation.
