Timbuk2 incorporated a ton of user feedback into the D-Lux racing stripe messenger bag to create a laptop bag that works with and without your machine. Essentially a massively upgraded version of the Classic messenger bag, the D-Lux offers plenty of storage, with a large main compartment, a Napoleon side-entry pocket that lets you grab your cash and keys without opening the messenger flap, and a color-coordinated front organizer for storing gadgets, gizmos, and other weird stuff. The bag also includes a slim, studded laptop sleeve that protects computers up to 19 inches (large size). And cyclists will love the racing stripe, which puts a little vroom in your messenger.

Another way that Timbuk2 improved on the Classic was by redesigning the Velcro placement along the top of the messenger flap and sides of the front panel. This new Velcro location makes the bag easier to open, and also helps reduce the much-hated sweater pilling caused by unwanted Velcro contact. Timbuk2 also added a memory-adjust True Fit cam buckle that eliminates daily fit adjustments. Just unclick the cam, put the bag over your shoulder, and lock the cam back in for a perfect fit every time. Other features include a durable ballistic nylon exterior, a waterproof TPU liner, compression straps on the bottom of the messenger, and a coordinating strap pad. Available in three sizes, the D-Lux messenger bag carries a lifetime warranty.

The D-Lux messenger bag holds a ton of gear in its various compartments and pockets.
