Timbuk2 Division Laptop Backpack Deluxe, Eco Black Deluxe

I’ve been using the Timbuk2 Division Laptop Backpack Deluxe (Eco Static) for a few weeks now, and I can honestly say it’s worth every penny. Yes, it’s about $150, quite a jump compared to the $30 packs out there, but the quality, comfort, and design make the difference obvious. Though compact, it’s surprisingly roomy: it easily holds a folded hooded sweatshirt along with the essentials. Unlike larger backpacks that force you to take them off when you sit, this one is slim enough to act as a comfortable back cushion, letting me stay seated on benches or bus seats without any hassle. One of the standout features is the waterproof boot at the base. It’s flexible yet firm, allowing the bag to stand upright on its own, a small but incredibly useful touch. The designers also clearly thought about comfort: the front clasp connecting the shoulder straps does wonders for weight distribution, making it much easier on the shoulders during longer carries. And with Timbuk2’s lifetime guarantee, I see this as a one-time investment. It feels built to last, and I honestly expect it to be the last backpack I’ll ever need to buy. If you’re debating whether the premium is justified, my experience says absolutely yes. It’s not just a backpack, it’s peace of mind, daily comfort, and long-term value.

Great backpack. Timbuk2 bags always feel extremely durable and high quality, and after a few months of use make you think, “This bag was totally worth the premium.” That said, know that this is a pretty small backpack. For my partner, it can hold two textbooks, a laptop, iPad, pencil case, and some toiletries (tissues, chapstick, bandaids, etc), but barely any more. Squeezing a jacket in, for example, would be a stretch. My partner is 5’1”, and this backpack sits just above her belt line. For short people like us, this pack is awesome! If you’re looking for a compact backpack that looks and feels great, don’t second guess yourself: this is the one! However, if you’re looking for a bag with a bit more space, I’d recommend the Authority pack deluxe. The design is very similar to this one here, but you get a second large compartment and a more spacious main compartment. Overall, the materials feel premium and the straps and back padding are really supportive and comfortable. It looks true to the photos in the listing. Highly recommend!

Backpack is great but the product I received had a company logo for Paylocity that must’ve been mixed in with stock. That part kinda sucks but still a good backpack.

An executive look with great quality backpack. Size and weight are excellent for carrying a laptop and other necessary accessories.There is only one bottle holder and internal pockets are limited.

Decent quality fabric and clasps. Great small size. Some of the stitching is not the greatest and unsure how it will hold up over time. Both like and dislike the lack of pockets. Holds my 15.6" laptops - my larger one is real tight but newer one with less of a screen bezel fits with room. Bit overpriced

Great backpack, it fits everything I need. The fabric and zips feel premium and solid. Space is good if you carry the essentials for your every day. I don’t think this could be a travel backpack so consider this before buying.

I love this bag! It is smaller than my last one. I appreciate needing to minimize my work bag but it took a little getting used to. Quality is excellent and it is very comfortable to wear.

Its hard to find things of good quality that feel like they are built to last. This backpack knocks this out of the park. Extremely durable, great stitching, all the pocket linings are good materials and not the cheap thin garbage that swiss gear uses. I am extremely happy with this bag, and look forward to using it for many years to come. My only gripes: Small pocket storage is abit lacking, the pocket on the front is an endless void that things get lost in, and the one internal pocket is quite small. The "waterproof" thing is a joke, the zippers leak, this backpack wont protect your electronics from more than a light sprinkle. That being said, still worlds better protection than if it didn't have any waterproof coating at all. Not that good of venting, can cause a sweaty back when being active while wearing this bag. Overall 5/5 stars. Great quality, IT ACTUALLY HAS A WATER BOTTLE HOLDER THAT'S USEFUL, and its sub 20 liter. that's an extremely rare combination.

A very well made work backpack, perhaps just a little disappointed that it doesn't have many interior pockets/ pen storage etc as many other bags do.

Depending on taste and needs some may find it a bit too deep and not wide enough, i.e. few longer items=> good; many smaller items=>not so good, you will have to dig around.

Solide, contenance appréciable, très bonne finitions.

This was my first bag from this brand, and I’m totally disappointed. Unfortunately, I have no choice but to keep using it since I already unpacked and used it in the rain for the first time—meaning I can’t return it. The water leaked inside, and I was extremely worried about my laptop. I’ve been using my Thule backpack for almost four years, and it never leaked like this. Another major downside is the lack of small pockets; everything ends up messy in one large front compartment. I really regret choosing this bag, but I have to use it for at least a year. It’s such a terrible situation.
