Inspired by our beloved Command Laptop Messenger, the Command Laptop Travel Backpack is our backpack solution for business travel. Its travel friendly laptop access lets you breeze through security, strategically placed external pockets provide access to your phone and cards in tight quarters, and its styling betrays the fact that you've just schlepped across the country. Business travel may not always be glamorous, but it shouldn't be so hard. The Command makes it that much easier.

This backpack has so many pockets and room!! My daughter loves it! She keeps saying over and over how nice her backpack is. She says it also is very comfortable, and nice looking.

Excellent backpack

timbuk2.com

I got this bag when I was visiting San Francisco a couple years ago, it immediately stood out from the rest; they actually had the premium cordura version for cheaper but I still cashed out for the all-black nylon version. I thought it felt lightweight and durable. It became my faithful companion at all times, going on trips to Scandinavia, my Master's studies to Arabia, and back home. Even took it to a job interview which I ended up getting. This bag is amazing in many ways. I'm a faithful bike commuter all around, biking through the arid desert in arabia with groceries on my back while keeping them fresh, or just transporting valuable documents and a suit+change of clothes for a quick job assignment. The compression straps make it versatile while still looking amazing. Figuratively this became my best friend, transporting my heavy bulky workstation (lenovow520+charger) and later a macbookpro with no issues, either on a daily basis or not so frequent half the world away back-home trip. Withstood all this with negligible wear: This bag was solid. Perhaps not the most waterproof bag, but it will hold on for a few minutes with no worries. The straps are a bit funky, having to turn them to access the laptop compartment, but I can tell you that carrying a ton of stuff, this bag still felt comfortable on my back, practical, and I can't say that of other bags, were standing in the desert sun for 2 mins. makes you sweat, this bag kept it's cool. Plus the weight distribution is infallible, very important while cycling (had bad experiences on the past with other bags). Compartments for everything. Laptop and documents, Bigger everything storage, smaller front sized one for books or whatever, quick one for important stuff (charger or whatever), PADDED GLASSES POCKET EF-YEAH, and a cool front one for quick access to infinite haribo gummies and kindle and headphones and handy buff scarf (you never know where your flight connections will take you). Seriously, you can fit anything you can, and will need on a round the world flight. Essentials and a bit of extras. There is not enough praise on this bag, it's seriously cool looking, discrete, stands up when placed on the floor. Handles are SOLID. Seriously, get this bag, you will not regret it. Unfortunately I got this bag stolen recently when I got my car broken into while in Mexico. Seriously, the guys took the bag but not the rosetta+philae space mission memorabilia from a scientific conference at the international book fair in guadalajara, sad thing is that I had some books still inside, I will miss you forever my faithful companion, after two years I still thought you looked brand new to me. You couldn't have come soon enough and you left my side adventures before time. This bag is taller rather than wider, this makes it look sleek on your back, instead of the ones that look all bulky and wide sticking out of you like a boulder of sorts. No, this thing stays aero on your back: Boom! It may be a good idea to mention I'm 6ft tall, so it does feel nice. It will fit underneath any flight seat, and trust me, I've gone to embraer minijet lengths to get where I need to. After a while you can master the art of doing the zippers silently, specially useful in school or office settings while stealthily leaving early. Seriously, I loved this bag so much my girlfriend is jealous after reading this review. She even got one of her own too!

Cool bag

This was my first of two Timbuk2 products (will be writing a review of the Copilot Luggage Roller 2014 after this one) and I'm very satisfied with my Command backpack. I'm not a fan of shoulder bags because they don't distribute the weight evenly and can cause shoulder/back issues over time. My Command is stylish, weather resistance (used it while in rainy Boston and it protected all my stuff inside), travels great (I've taken two domestic trips and it handled well on both), has room for all the big and little things, and for the price you get a great product that will last years. The shoulder straps are sturdy and the chest strap helps you distribute the weight if you have a heavy load evenly for proper shoulder/back support. This is ideal for me because I can carry my laptop, gym clothes (tennis shoes and clothing), and work stuff all in one bag and it doesn't look like I'm hauling boulders while in a suit. The only con I have is very minor. When reviewing the specs said the laptop pocket could hold a 15" laptop, but it doesn't say this is based an Apple 15" laptop. I have a PC (cue all the Apple fanboy/girl groaning in disgust) and it's not a bulky 15" laptop but when you try to place it inside the laptop sleeve it's maybe an inch too tall to fit. This forces me to place it inside the zipper pocket itself which doesn't have the ideal padding protection the sleeve does because the laptop sits on top of the zipper line. This forces me to be very mindful when handling/tossing the bag around when I have my laptop. The sleeve itself could account for this if it ran to the bottom of the backpack (it stops about an inch above) and the bottom of the sleeve extended out maybe half an inch with stretchable fabric in order to better fit/hug most rectangle shaped laptops, not just rounded ends like most Apple products. This is a very MINOR issue but I thought it worth sharing for my fellow PC users (the laptop sleeve only really fits a Ultrabook style laptop and even then I'd say nothing bigger than 13") and Timbuk2 for future design tweaks. I'm still 100% happy with my Command and would highly recommend it.

Answers The Mail

My household is chock full o' Timbuk2 stuff. Messenger bags, totes, camera inserts, mobile phone pouches, and more. While we all appreciate Timbuk2's burly construction and lifetime warranty on all of its products, pretty much every item has something that could have been done better. Usually it's a small detail, such as Velcro hooks on a flap facing towards clothing (better to have the pile side that way to avoid knit fabrics getting caught up) but sometimes it's a major problem like a rucksack that won't close properly unless it's fully loaded. This time it's different, as the saying goes. The Command Laptop Backpack has been thoughtfully designed all the way through. It is truly a joy to wear and use. Every pocket, slot, buckle, and strap has been well thought out and elegantly blends form and function. I have the Carbon Full-Cycle Twill color/fabric choice. This grey colored woven fabric gives the Command a soft, pleasant hand with a professional looking texture. And grey, of course, is a color that works well in pretty much all office, school, and travel situations. Overall, the Command has a nicely understated and minimalist look to it. The most amazing thing about the design to my mind is that even though the Command is a 32-liter volume pack, it looks and feels like a much smaller pack. When it's not fully loaded and the bottom compression straps are pulled in, it feels, in both size and weight, almost like carrying a 20-liter daypack. Very nice. The other great feature is the TSA-compliant laptop compartment. When you're at an airport security checkpoint, all you have to do is flip the shoulder straps over to the front of the pack and open a zippered flap to expose your computer to TSA screeners. There's even a handle on the long edge of the pack that allows you to carry the bag like a briefcase when the shoulder straps have been rotated. Again, very nice. Do keep two things in mind, though. First, while the suspension is very comfortable and highly adjustable, the Command isn't suitable for outdoor activity use because it doesn't have a waist strap. Second, anybody who is hard on bags might want to look at one of the nylon fabric color options. I don't think the Full-Cycle Twill will stand up to abrasion, moisture, and abuse as well as the regular nylon fabric. Bottom line: five stars, for an incredibly well designed and constructed technology backpack.

Timbuk2's best designed product

I use the Command for work. I am an auditor and travel a lot both by plane and car. I am usually away from home from Monday through Thursday and come back on the weekends. This bag is great with my work/life style because I can pack everything I need for both living and working away from home. I usually pack all of my toiletries, 2 pairs of pants, 2 shirts (I wear the third pair of each while I travel) socks, 1 pair of gym shorts, 1 t-shirt and underwear in the big compartment. All of my work stuff (10 key, pens, pencils, ruler, computer and iphone/pad chargers, headphones, etc.) goes in the middle pocket and my Ipad in the front pocket (just like the dude in the video). I also tie my running shoes through the compression straps at the bottom of the bag. My work laptop (lenovo X1 carbon) fits perfectly in the TSA pocket, so as to not overstuff the whole bag. I usually go straight to the client site from the airport so the bag is pretty packed that first day, but nothing unbearable. Once I have time to unload at the hotel I can basically shrink the bag down to half of its size with the compression straps. I would not have bought this bag had it not had the compression straps at the bottom (and had I not seen the video of the dude basically living my life). Sometimes I wish there were compression straps on the side. I think I just really like compression straps though. Other than that this bag is perfect for business travel. Too many other bags advertise as such, but have too many pockets, which actually make it harder to pack and organize everything you need while still keeping it comfortable. The two big pockets on the command make it super easy to pack and organize everything you need. I utilize every centimeter of space in this bag to the fullest and it still feels comfortable on my back. Last point: Most airlines allow one carry on and a personal item. Before I bought this bag, my carry on would house all of my clothes, etc., and my personal item was always my messenger bag for all of my work stuff. Since I bought this bag, I can choose whatever personal item I want. I went out and bought a Ukulele, and I bring it with me wherever I go. After some practice away from home, I am now a relatively decent ukulele player, and I couldn't have done it without the Command.

Business travel and ukulele practice

I needed an all-purpose bag that was stylish and mature enough for work (I'm 40) but could also handle gym clothes or lunch items. This bag is definitely roomy and has great storage capacity. It's a bit boxy for my taste, which, to be fair, I could tell from the pictures online.

Great material and roomy, but boxy

The Command Backpack is great for someone like me- always with a laptop, an e-reader and a tablet, with a couple of notebooks with lots of pens, chargers, cables and other little things that need good organizational pockets. However, the backpack sorely misses a waterbottle and coffee pocket that ACTUALLY work. The waterbottle pocket on the side is tiny. My water bottle has fallen out of my backpack quite a few times. Now I have to carry a tote bag in addition to carry my coffee mug and waterbottle. I wish Timbuk2 makes inside pockets for this bg like it has for its other messenger bags. It'll be close to perfect then!

Great Backpack, but needs important changes

I work in Silicon Valley and fly down to Southern CA for 1-3 days at a time every other week. I pack all my clothes in a packing "cross" in the largest compartment of this bag, put my man-purse in the second largest pocket, and put my 13" laptop and iPad in the TSA pocket. It's heavy but it feels really comfortable on my back. I love the handheld straps tuck away, the water bottle holder, and the glasses pocket. I wish the bigger pocket opened all the way for easier insertion of my clothes, and that there was a shoulder only strap to carry it more messenger style, but these are minor nits. I've used it for a half dozen trips so far and I pack it bursting at the seams but it's been the best bag I've ever used.

Perfect for 2-3 day business travel

The Bag looks nice, straps and the padding on the back are good. The rest is not so good. - The material the bag is made with is very floppy. Start putting stuff in the pockets and the bag becomes harder to manage. - The bottom straps seem to be there to cinch the back tight when you have less stuff. Two problems here... 1) you can't cinch it tight enough for stuff not to slide to the bottom which slowly opens the straps. 2)Even cinching the bottom and then filling the bag is a problem become the floppy/slippery material allows things to slide around in the now top heavy bag (so don't run for a taxi or train in this mode). - Biggest feature I bought it for was the fold out laptop case. Doesn't work. Most airports make you take it out when you try this. Especially since a full pack doesn't allow the laptop to lie flat (which is a big no no). Flipping the bag so that the open flap is interior down lets the laptop be flat but dirties the interior and still confuses security enough to make you pull it out. (I've done this in multiple domestic and international airports). Finally resigned myself to inserting the laptop in the document sleeve and pulling it out each time (which is actually easier than trying to leave it in the flap). - The pockets in the interior are those typical "not really meant to be filled" pockets. You know, where two sheets of fabric are just sewn together. The result is that using some pockets makes others unusable. They also deform the nice contours of the bag. The bag gets 1 star for looks (when mostly empty) and 1 free star because I've been a long time Timbuk2 fan, but I'd steer clear of this one until they work out the kinks. One final note, if you are a fan of the "made in SF" thing that is a strong part of Timbuk2's messaging, this bag isn't. It's got a "made 'somewhere else'" tag inside.

Not for travellers

I have a 15" Lenovo laptop. It won't fit in the laptop area of this backpack. The rounded laptop area corners probably work nice for some machines (macs) but not for others. I bought this to replace a 10 year old Timbuk2 "Track" backpack which I absolutely love and which holds my 15" laptop with room to spare. That old bag has been around the world multiple times and is still going strong. I'm returning this new "Command" bag and sticking with my old one (FYI I just discovered you have to pay for return shipping in cases like this). Does Timbuk2 make backpacks with larger laptop sleeves than this? They don't have ratings for sizes bigger than 15" laptops.

Doesn't fit my 15" laptop

This is one of the worst designed bags i've ever used. It looks beautiful, but performs terribly. The way the second, front compartment is placed makes it fall forward. The front compartment is not seated on the bottom of the bag so anything put in it will not rest on the bottom and cause the bag to fall forward. In addition it has one very shallow side bottle holder. The side bottle holder is also stitched flush to the bottom with no room to expand on the bottom, which means that any bottle put in it will stick out sideways and also push into the bag.

Terribly Designed Bag
