Hey guys,
I'm currently in the market for a good messenger bag, as the cloth ones I've gotten before just aren't quite enough for me anymore, either with a lack of weather-resistance, size or comfort. Since I'm now doing more biking on a daily basis, it's become extremely important I get something that will hold up to rain or snow and not get my books/papers/gadgets wet. I also need something more comfortable to wear. Most bags I've kept at my hip, but that doesn't work out well whilst biking. And I need something that's spacious enough to hold a tablet/netbook, a couple textbooks, notebooks, and various gadgets and miscellany.
I've been looking at Timbuk2 bags, and they seem to meet all of my criteria. But it's proving difficult to find any reviews of them (as in, not Amazon user reviews, but a regular review.) So my question's twofold: what's the best place to get Timbuk2 bags on the cheap, and what is your opinion of them if you've owned/used them? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Someone in this thread mentioned steepandcheap, anyone have experience with them?
tl;dr I need a cheap Timbuk2 bag, where do I get it, and what did you think?
