timbuk2 is a really good cheap bag. and at under a hundred bucks it's a lot cheaper than most other bags on the market, and it shows. but if you don't want to / can't put about $150 into a nice bag the timbuk2 is worth it. i only got mine because my backpack fell apart and i didn't feel like waiting weeks / months for a custom r.e.load / pac / baileyworks bag.
