Timbuk2 Commute Pack
09-03-2008 [Dot]Fuzz Attention all students…. Introducing the greatest back pack of all time for all students, the Timbuk2 Commute Pack. I know what your saying what makes this the perfect bag? But I shall tell you now, with the ability to carry not only all your books but a laptop as well. The thing that really put this bag over the top is that you can fit all you stuff in it and it still doesn’t look like you’re about to go camping in the woods for a week. I don’t like looking like I have a lot of stuff in my bag that’s why I prefer the Timbuk2 Commute Pack. The only bad thing about this bag in particular is that it only comes in brown. Timbuk2 makes many other bags that are also good that come in different colors but the comfort and the ability to hold all my stuff beats style any day.
