-   The bag has one of the best bang for the buck in the market considering its features.

### Things to consider

-   Not the best water resistant bag in the market so might to think twice about using it in a tropical country.
-   Not for outdoor daypack usage because it isn't versatile enough for those trips.
-   The straps and back plate can get uncomfortable if you're using it for long periods of time.

**Timbuk2 Command Pack Review**
[www.outdoorgearlab.com](https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/reviews/travel/laptop-backpack/timbuk2-command-pack)

**Timbuk2 Command TSA-Friendly Laptop Backpack Review**
[www.nomadtravelbags.com](http://www.nomadtravelbags.com/timbuk2-command-tsa-friendly-laptop-backpack-review/)

> This backpack is surprisingly roomy for its exterior size- like… mansion roomy. I also like the rectangular, semi-structured shape which holds it form even when only partially filled. The cushioning for the laptop and tablet are both pretty solid.
