4.0 out of 5 starsLong-Time Timbuk2 Owner: An In-Depth, Comparative Review
By Aaron on March 1, 2015
Size: MediumColor: Carbon Full-Cycle Twill Verified Purchase
Long time Timbuk2 owner - this will be an in-depth review of the (Medium Twill) Timbuk2 Command 2015. I will make some comparisons between this bag and Command 2013 and the Classic Messenger 2014 models. The Command 2015 is largely a hybrid of these two models, but it comes with a few unique tricks of its own.

UPDATE - after 4 months with the bag, I've added a few extra words here and there to update how my opinion of the bag has held up, as well as how the bag itself has held up (spoiler: both have held up quite well). Also, I added a couple of pictures, one including my true Every Day Carry.

###THE EXTERIOR###

Overall look:
This one is pretty easy to get the gist of from the pictures already on Amazon. It's very clean. Nothing particularly surprising about the look in person that you wouldn't get from the pictures.

The shape:
The bottom of the bag is not flat. This seems like an intentional design decision on the part of Timbuk2... and I'm not sure why. The bag does NOT sit up right when you set it down. It falls on its face. Check out the view from the side on Amazon's photos and notice how the bottom slopes up from the back of the bag to the front. This problem doesn't exhibit itself much if you keep the bag full... but I tend to run with a lot of empty space in there. This is the single biggest "detractor" for this bag.

The strap:
The strap is removable & reversible like the original Command messenger. However, unlike the original command, there is no "buckle" to undo. Instead you have the fairly handy Double-Loop CAM buckle that you'd find on the 2014 Classic. I was weary about this innovation on the 2014 Classic at first, but grew accustomed to it, and actually grew to prefer it after use.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat improvement over the 2013 model.
By Joe on March 20, 2015
Size: MediumColor: Carbon Full-Cycle Twill Verified Purchase
I upgraded to this bag from the Command 2013 model, and there were definitely enough changes to the bag to warrant the purchase. I'm on the go a lot, so I need a bag that can keep a decent amount of stuff organized throughout the day. I take frequent overnight trips to NYC, and this bag is compact enough to easily maneuver on Metro North trains and on the subway. I fly with a bag a few times a year, so it pulls double duty as my under-seat carry-on luggage. The medium sized bag is enough to carry most daily essentials, a compact u4/3 camera setup, a raincoat, and an extra change of clothes or so.

I'll give a rundown of the similarities and differences to the previous command bag below.

Similarities:

The external water bottle pouch is around the same size. I keep a 500mL bottle in there and it is held very securely in place.

The twill fabric looks identical to the fabric on the 2013 model.

The TSA clamshell function remains largely the same. In both models there's enough space to shove a lightweight rain jacket in there to keep it from getting everything else wet, which is kind of nice.

The laptop compartment and tablet pouch are around the same size, and they are still accessible from a separate zipper along the top of the bag.

The "velcro silencers" are still there.

Differences and Improvements:

The shoulder strap is now identical to the one used on the standard Timbuk2 messenger bag. The adjustment buckle on the front feels less bulky, but it comes loose a bit more easily.

The bag has a new strap closure system. I've found it to be a huge step up from the 2013 model, where the straps would constantly loosen as you lifted the bag.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsVery Thoughtfully Designed
By Bleekerstreets on May 21, 2015
Size: MediumColor: Carbon Full-Cycle Twill Verified Purchase
Great bag, incredible amount of storage. Perfect for commuting to work. I am a huge fan of the gigantic Napoleon pocket, which runs the entire length and width of the bag...it can easily fit a memo pad, standard iPad, among other things (like my entire arm). The TSA-friendly laptop sleeve is a huge plus, and the water bottle holder is large enough for a standard sized bottle.

So glad I went with the medium bag, even though initially I thought it would be too big.

3.0 out of 5 starsNot a bad way to downsize
By James Edwards on February 1, 2013
Size: SmallColor: Black Verified Purchase
After lugging my huge laptop backpack around everywhere for a few years, I decided I wanted something a little smaller and lighter for work/studying. Not liking the huge/wide standard Timbuk2 messenger bags, I was happy to see that my 15" Macbook Pro was said to fit in the small Command bag, though was a bit skeptical. It just fits with zero margin to spare, but the pocket for it is nice and both padded and ventilated. Forget about your charger though unless you don't carry any books in the bag.

The front side of the bag has lots of pockets and a few sleeves, and will hold anything you want as long as it's flat. I have a notebook or two, maybe a study guide in mine and they fit fine. With that though, there is really no way to put much of anything else in the numerous pockets unless it's slim. I normally carry around some full size headphones when studying (I know, but I really like my music) and there is no way to get them in the bag. I wouldn't even put my reading glasses in the bag unless I could find a very slim hard shelled case for them, as they would be squished. This is also my reason for the above charger comment. Adding anything else to my books results in even more pressure on anything in the pockets of the bag. I guess I just need to make sure I'm leaving the house on a full charge...

Two big complaints with the bag are with the front "hooks" for the flap. Not sure who came up with those, but stupid idea. Maybe more stylish than some plastic buckles, but they take more time to latch, and I've had the hooks come out on their own. The second is the HUGE shoulder strap. This thing looks like it belongs in a passenger plane from the 60s or something. The strap is both very wide, and has the largest clunky plastic buckle on it. For a company that went to the trouble to got with the stylish hooks on the front, they went far the other way with the shoulder strap.
