We never claim that our bags are dry bags, but fortune smiled on baghead Anthony who writes:
No you guys rock. I got my first messenger bag in 97 and still have it. I bought the underground laptop bag about a year ago.
I was racing sailboats in Key West 2 weeks ago and I had my lap top zipped up in my new underground bag. I was a little drunk on the sail in from racing. Nevertheless I had my laptop on the boat with us so we could see the scores online. Upon getting off the boat I was handing the bag to my girlfriend on the doc and she dropped the bag in the ocean. I fished it out in about 30 seconds and the laptop was completely dry and the bag floated. I am not sure how long it would have floated for but it was long enough to save my 17 inch $1,000+ Toshiba. So you guys rock, and as I retire the old messenger bag for the new bag I just want to say thanks once again for making kick ass bags.

That is awesome! I’ve been there and got the t-shirt too. While you give the bag all the credit, I would like to go ahead and give you a pat on the back for undrunking yourself enough to get the bag out so quickly… sometimes that is no easy task.
wait wait wait… you were drunk, but SHE dropped the bag?! i’d like to hear her side of the story :-p

[...] Timbuk2 actually listens to the people that use their bags and take that information to make their bags better. They understand that they’re not just bags, they’re companions. You need something that can do more than just hold your stuff, you need a bag that canprotect your stuff. [...]
