The Bottom Line

The Timbuk2 Quickie is for the person who doesn't need a cavernous bag to hold their life—only what they need.

Pros & Cons

    • Lightweight.
    • Attractive design.
    • Durable.
    • Perfect for the commuter or the school-goer
    • Would have like to see an over the shoulder strap.

The Timbuk2 Quickie ($45 direct) is designed for the mobile commuter who needs just enough space to fit a laptop and a few accessories. The bag comes in four sizes: extra small, small, medium, and large. The size I received was the small, which weighs all of .73 pounds and is 9.84 by 13.78 by 1.18 inches (HWD).

The exterior, black nylon with light-gray trim, has a simple, attractive design aesthetic. Outside are all of two pockets, hidden underneath a Velcroed flap. The pockets expand and provide enough room for your power cable and miscellaneous accessories. The red interior is lightly cushioned but also has raised padded dots that serve as shock absorbers.
