Bag for business setting?
What is the most business professional bag you offer? I want to use this as a business bag and I commute on my bike. I need something that is hardy but also proffesional-looking enough to not get noticed in the workplace. I'm not sure which size to get, M or L, and the only thing I really want for sure is the grab strap.
Any suggestions? The pro series messenger looks pretty good, but I don't like the bright blue emblem on the shoulder strap.

I’m thankful

Inappropriate?Any of the Commutes would work well. The Herringone is very professional looking :)

Inappropriate?Do the commutes have the cross strap for stabilization? I need that for riding on the bike. -
Inappropriate?I carry a Commute every day to work in a national healthcare company and it blends right in. I have received several compliments about my bag. Here is a quick snap.

Inappropriate?Commute's don't have cross straps but they do have waist straps - so you'll be stable :)

Inappropriate?I don't see a waist strap on my new Herringbone Commute? Am I missing anything?! -
Inappropriate?I was actually wondering that also, because when I look at other websites selling this bag, I don't see any waist strap D-rings. I don't know if only the new ones that are sold from the Timbuk2 website have the waist straps. But you can't tell because the pics of the back of the bag aren't available. Just want to make sure before I spend $175.

Inappropriate?I must correct my earlier post as the 2008 Commutes do *not* have waist straps or cross straps - many apologies! So, Commutes do *not* have stabilization which means they may not be the best choice for commuting on your bike. If you still want/need a professional bag with stabilization, a laptop messenger in a specialty fabric would be a good alternative to the Commute. Check out our new specialty fabrics here: http://www.timbuk2.com/tb2/cms/border...
If the specialty fabrics are not your thing, then a laptop messenger in one color of ballistic (fabric with slight sheen; more outdoorsy) or cordura (totally matte fabric; more old school) would be another more professional option. I'm a big fan of all brown bags - they look better than you'd think. Hope this helps!

Inappropriate?Just to clarify, all Commutes prior to Spring 2008 had D-rings and came with waist straps. However once our Commutes mated like rabbits and delivered the new Commute, the Commute Slim and the Commute Pack we traded in the D-rings and waist strap for other super functional features like the luggage pass through and magnetic closures.
Basically the new Commute line is now better suited for the ninja traveler and if you're looking to log more frequent biker miles then frequent flier miles you should check out the Laptop Messenger which comes with a cross strap to make biking easier.
I’m hoping that clears up the confusion

Inappropriate?"Not sure if Timbuk2's brand is for the business setting"
I guess that would depend on the business wouldn't it? I, along with several of my coworkers, carry a Timbuk2 bag every (and I mean EVERY) day to work and have always received the highest praise on how cool my bag is.
Is the CEO of IBM carrying a Commute, probably not. His loss....
I’m amused
