 There's also a zipper to be able to put your laptop in and out from the back. On the inside, there's a laptop compartment to slide your laptop in a pocket in front of it to put something like an iPad in there, as well as another zippered compartment across from that that's large enough for a couple a sports and things that you may need any easy access to, but you want a little bit more secure than the front pocket. I Ordered the Timbuktu Spire online and when I received it, I was not impressed by the fit and finish. It had this cheap feeling rubber material all over it and the the straps and things like that felt like it was something off of a really cheaply made bag

 Oh, this thing drives me nuts because I always accidentally leave it open I never know what was in there I never know what could have fallen and it just drives me bonkers. So I try not to use it, but it's also really convenient I could have lost $100 in quarters since I've had this bag or maybe nothing. The other thing I don't like is kind of what bags are going for these days. It's kind of a tactical look and I just think it looks kind of goofy

 Right on the back side, there's two straps like a normal backpack. There's nice padding against the back. There's also a zipper to be able to put your laptop in and out from the back.

 Today we're talking about the Timbuktu Spire Backpack [Music] The Timbuktu Spires a top loaded backpack that's closed with a flip top that's fastened with both velcro and a hug. There is a zipper compartment in the front that would probably hold about three pairs of sunglasses in cases. There is a bunch of tactical webbing across the front. There's some velcro that allows you to put a new lock within within that space, and there's also a vertical pocket towards the top

Timbuk2 Spire - The backpack I didn't want to like.....

 I've been able to walk through for tens of minutes in whatever rain San Francisco can offer in the winter months; everything is dry. Everything on the Spire is well-padded and it's a very comfortable bag. I've worn it continuously on a 100mi bike ride and that wasn't too bad (for a 100mi ride that is). There are a lot of extra attachment points on the bag and I've attached my U lock to the front, freeing some space in the main body for a big grocery run

Great backpack, maybe not so long-lasting because of TPU?

 It comes with an impressive amount of space, and i really like its organizational layout, and so you can currently purchase this on timbuktu's site for about a hundred dollars which considering the features and build quality that the bag has to offer, feels like a pretty reasonable price And it also compares well to other similar bags in this price range, and so, as i was testing this out, one of the first bags that this made me think of was timbuktu's parker pack, which you looked at pretty recently. That was another really solid kind of everyday bag. It also offered a little bit more space and it was expandable to give you that extra bit of capacity, if you wanted to use it for traveling or for just a larger everyday, carry that's also a bike. That'S a little more focused on kind of commuting by bike, as it comes with a rain cover, and it also has some reflective panels to make you a little bit more visible when you're riding around

 So we'll take a look at the side zipper for now and so very well protected zipper. I like that, it's nice and big so that if you have a bigger device, you can get it in and out well, and so the compartment itself offers a nice amount of padding and it is suspended off the bottom of the ground. To help add that extra peace of mind, if you happen to place your device down a little bit harder, and so you can see that, with the 13 inch macbook pro that i currently have in here, there's some left over space at the top, which is nice To see and then pulling my laptop out now with the compartment empty, you can get a better look at the inside, so it comes up a decent amount. If you happen to have a thicker device, it should be able to fit in there, okay and so no sort of fleece lining or anything like that on the inside, which would have been nice to help prevent again scratching, but again, a nice amount of padding and It really feels like my device, is going to be well protected, regardless of whatever activities i'm doing during the day and then the last area that we're going to take a look at is the main compartment, and so this is a top loading bag, and this is One of the biggest changes from the original spire backpack, which had more of a hook system that you could adjust

 What i have here is the travel kit from side by side, which just has some small accessories that i like to have with me, such as a sim ejector tool and an rfid protected sleeve to hold things like my credit card or id. And then the next area that we're going to take a look at is the laptop compartment, and so i really like that you can actually access the laptop from this side zipper here and also from the top. So we'll take a look at the side zipper for now and so very well protected zipper. I like that, it's nice and big so that if you have a bigger device, you can get it in and out well, and so the compartment itself offers a nice amount of padding and it is suspended off the bottom of the ground

 Some additional flexibility and then moving into the capacity the bag comes in at about 26 liters, which is a really versatile size. In my opinion, i was easily able to hold all the items that i normally like to carry with me on my day-to-day, and i like that. It has some extra capacity if i have to carry some extra stuff or if i want to use this for minimal travel, and then i really like that, even when the bag is a little bit more packed out, it stays really slim and close to my back, Which makes it great for navigating credit areas jumping onto public transit or riding my bike, continuing on with the straps in the back paneling. So far, the bag has been really comfortable to wear

Best Daily / Cycling Bags: Timbuk2 Spire 2.0 Laptop Backpack Review

Great backpack, but one little annoyance!

 So that's that and then i've got a notebook in here too so yeah first way to access. It is just opening up the main compartment like this, but you can actually also access it from the back panel. So if you look on the back panel, you'll see there's like a little zipper here, so you just unzip that and then you can access it. That way as well just quicker basically so there you have it, that is the timbuktu spire laptop backpack, make sure you check out packhacker

 So make sure you check out packhacker.com for the full written review and let's dive right in [, Music ] all right. So, as you can see, um the bag does have a bit of like a tactical feel because it has the webbing on the front. But this is actually for a u-lock, so, as i mentioned before, if you're commuting to work by bike, it's really convenient to be able to just stick your lock in here and just go on with your day

 The days i did ride my bike. It was really really nice and really comfortable same on the shoulder straps here. You'Ve got nice bit of padding and some mesh, and then we have the sternum strap, which is really easy to remove you just unhook it there like that um for the most part they stayed in place. I only had once where this strap just sort of disconnected and and fell off, so maybe watch out for that

 So you can see at the back. There is the laptop compartment. So there's actually two ways to access this. The first is just here when you've got the main compartment open and i believe it fits up to a 17 inch

Timbuk2 Spire Laptop Backpack 2.0 Review (2 Weeks of Use)

 My Ogio was bigger, more comfortable, had more pockets, and easier to access. I fight with this Spire everyday, its inconvenient to access the laptop sleeve from either the main opening or the zipper on the back, nothing stays where I put it (I might as well be carrying all my stuff in a sack), and the straps are narrow with minimal padding. My sternum strap also broke within the first week, but to Timbuk2's credit they replaced it for free via the warranty. I'm going to keep using the Spire to avoid the possibility of rain soaking my stuff (again), but overall I can't say that I'm satisfied with this backpack

Kind of disappointed

 The laptop is nicely cradled, but books on the bottom can hardly be reached while looking down into a dark, long bag. So you have to look for what you want, and then stick an arm way down to reach it, trying to identify your book by touch. It is very difficult to even see to the bottom of the bag. Since it is so narrow, you have to go later by layer

 Size is big but not stupid big.  My problem was that it is shaped like a paper grocery bag, but too long and narrow to access anything on the bottom. The laptop is nicely cradled, but books on the bottom can hardly be reached while looking down into a dark, long bag. So you have to look for what you want, and then stick an arm way down to reach it, trying to identify your book by touch
