I have had this Timbuk2 Metro bag for almost 9 months now and I must say, I can't kill it! It is one tough little bag. I say "little" but I do manage to fits lots of stuff in there without the bag weighing a ton. I don't treat it with care, I am rough on my bags...and it holds up. It is attractive and fits very well across my torso...not uncomfortable at all. Five stars!!!

I love this bag! It holds plenty of stuff for a weekend of shopping in the city. My wallet had a secure place in the larger, zippered inside pocket. The large, open area fit a small umbrella, two cosmetic cases filled with smaller items, a camera, and plenty of room for a small, rolled up sweater if needed. There's also a variety of smaller pockets inside as well as a side, netted area for a small water bottle. There's a small, elasticized pocket on the outside for a cell phone. It rained all weekend and my phone did not get wet. I would've given it 5 stars if maybe there was a zipper for the entire main compartment. However, my stuff was still secure and dry with the velcro closures on the front underneath the flap. I like the size of it and I had no problem with the strap. I saw someone carrying a larger Timbuk2 bag and that looked way too big (for me, at least) to be carrying around all day.

I use this bag to hold my basic stuff as I bike-commute to my job. It's a great, durable, stylish, well-made bag. Timbuk2 is cool quality, through and through. I also have two Timbuk2 classic messenger bags, which are great when I need to take more stuff along, but for light trips, the Metro is the one.

I purchased this bag since I take MTA to get to work,and a small bag but work-type is what is needed.Durable for the hustle of city life but chic enough to go to work with.It's small enough to look like a "cute" work purse.
