Da Geekdom: This is not a bag

Thats what it says on the envolope that my medium Timbuk2 Classic Messenger bag showed up in. Indeed some could argue with that statement but whatever, theres a map of San Fransisco printed on the reverse of the bag. Wouldnt it be cool if they printed a map of wherever the bag was being shipped to, now that would be sweet.

So onto the bag, I anxiously checked the UPS site for delivery confirmation, of course all the good stuff shows up while youre away at work or wherever. I rushed home with baited breath to rip into my new Timbuk2 Classic Medium messenger Bag (I hate when people post reviews of bags and dont post the size, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr).

I have to say that the medium bag has ample space for even the most pack rat of people. As I was emptying out the contents of my Camebak Transformer I thought to myself I wonder if my backpack would fit in the messenger bag. Guess what the backpack did fit into the messenger bag, wow I was amazed.

So I emptied all my stuff into my Timbuk2 and Im like wow I have all this space. Most of my stuff went into the pockets inside the bag. I have my umbrella, shemagh, book and that's about it in the main well of the bag.

The bag is constructed in no less than excellent quality that Ive heard of in other reviews. Based on the less than an hour that Ive had the bag and played with it Im very very very happy. Would I have gone with a small bag, no I like the extra room that I have which will allow me to go shopping with if I choose or throw in a jacket if the weather changes.

Sorry for the camera phone pics I'll post better pics soon, its been a long day. If youve got questions fire away.
