| 7 of 8 people found the following review helpful  Not indestructible. But close., By This review is from: Timbuk2 D-Lux Laptop Messenger Bag (Sports) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) Well, this part I already knew. The Timbuk2 bags are built to last. I shop consignment and see older models, used and often a bit beat up, still apparently fetching some sweet prices. (The Honda of messenger bags?) So I was eager to have the opportunity to check out the DLux, in person - it's lightweight, it's 100% synthetic (but no chemical plastic-y smell here), and it's certainly made to withstand the travails of a rainy/snowy/hot/humid commute by bike/car/subway/whatever.What it's *not*, is particularly compact or elegant. Having had a go with this one, I can attest to its strength and capacity -- and oh boy, it will hold the tablet, the kids' mini-computers (both of them) - a pair of shoes, the water bottle, the purse, my knitting, a binder...get the idea? By the time you fill it up, you're going to want that nifty memory cam adjust buckle that lets you put the bag over you cross body, then easily cinch it up under your arm for a secure fit. Maybe just an ergonomic nicety for those of us who don't use a bike or have to run for the train, but if you're the type who is constantly struggling with a swinging bag or one that wants to fall off, it's worth the learning curve to have this feature. (Yes, I was stumped. But only for about 5 minutes.) As a smaller woman, I'm going to suggest considering what your actual needs are and purchasing the smallest model of this bag that serves those needs. I'm actually considering the XS version of this bag now, which would also double handily as an "XL" handbag. (No, I'm not the fashion bug - I'll take durability over cutting-edge styling any day of the week.) But even this medium size is admittedly *huge* on a small-framed woman. I mean, I was positive I'd been sent a LARGE in error, until I did a quick measure and found it closer to 19.3" in length than the 22" that is the large. So if it's just a little netbook/minicomputer or tablet that you have to tow, it's worth noting the range of sizes for this bag. (Then again, if you do have the larger laptop, you'll at least be looking at a lightweight solution for lugging it. Empty, the bag weighs in for me at a little over 3 pounds.) The rear zipper access to the main compartment, residing at the top part of the back of the bag, is a curious modification. (Then again, when you only shop for messenger bags during "odd" decades, you miss a lot of updates.) I'm not sure that the buckled front flap will get a lot of use for many folks considering the convenience of the zipper, but I suppose the makers wouldn't want to remove front flap functionality. The zipper is kind of an engineering marvel unto itself, all but invisible from the outside -- you see the pull but the "teeth" are securely concealed. From the inside, it's the same story, thanks to careful finishing details that are evident throughout the bag. It's too new to speak to how my particular bag will wear, but look around various Timbuk2 models here on Amazon, or do an online search on "Timbuk2", and you'll quickly see that the longevity of these bags is pretty legendary - no exaggeration. My Timbuk2 DLux will be an "occasional use" item, so I fully expect to pass it on in my will. One quibble - I can't find a care label in this bag. Sure, I already expected that I could take one through the car wash and it would be fine, but some cleaning guidance would still be nice to have, so I consulted the Timbuk2 website and they told me !!! NOT TO PUT IT IN THE DRYER!!! (Seriously, guys, don't) - also, this:
