I like Timbuk2. My oldest is a good 25 years old and holding up well. I fully expect to have it another 20 years.

Timbuk2 has a stability strap, that you mentioned, to keep it placed correctly on your back. I bicycle commute about 15-20 miles daily, all year, in all weather, and it's very comfortable. Mine's like 5 years old.

i love my timbuk2, but after a decade, the inner lining is cracked and peeling terribly. i tried contacting timbuk2 to get it repaired, but apparently me being in japan meant that the closest place i could send it was singapore i think, and i was never able to get in contact with them :( does anyone know what i can do in this situation?

Confirmed! Had mine forever and still feels (and looks ) brand new!

Seconded - I’ve had my Timbuk2 messenger bag for around 14 or so years I think? It’s pretty much bombproof
