kearton Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 I'm looking for a "messenger-style" laptop bag, suitable for a 15" laptop. I've had a Crumpler camera bag in the past and was very impressed with it, but I get the impression Crumpler don't make one for larger laptops (e.g 'Sticky Date' range) anymore? Has anyone got a Timbuk2 bag or similar or can anyone recommend something else? Thanks...

keithu Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 I've been using a Timbuk2 Commute every day for the last 10 years and it's still going strong. Mine is the 15" laptop model but I don't think they do that exact one anymore. I've always got the impression that the Crumpler bags were more padded like camera bags and the Timbuk2 are more lightweight and honed down like true messenger bags. 1

For the best part of £200 (on Amazon), I should hope they last a while! I thought £100 for a Crumpler was a lot. 1

Ouch... But it looks really nice... https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0082/5088/4214/products/DDM-M-029_Laptop_b1a18b25-848f-459a-ab0a-be0a16c78ec7_1080x.jpg?v=1556898174 EDIT: Just found on Amazon for £69.16... Hmmm... EDIT2: The cheaper one is for the "Dinky Di CLASSIC Messenger" which is (presumably an earlier, older) different bag. Less pockets/compartments etc too Edited May 31, 2019 by kearton
