#1 is fabulous.
#2 is taking recycling too far.
#3 is Eeyore – I think I like this one, but not for me.
#4 is confused.
#5 is something that will sell, but still droll.
#6 is trying too hard.
1 is very nice indeed. The colors in the example are awesome, but it would be fun in other color combos too (navy with lime green stripe, or perhaps a dark purple with a bright sunshine yellow?)
5 would be cool in a snappier plaid. I like plaids, but I like ‘em with a little pop. Which means not so traditional, and therefore might not have been what was intended there. That said, find me something in the *bright* green or blue category, and I would be interested.
4 makes me think of Punky Brewster, which while not bad, doesn’t make me desire ownership of said bag either. 2, 3 & 6 all bore me.
1 is a great bag, neat design
5 is nice, but the plaid chosen is kind of blah
3 is nice and simple, something about it I like
2, 4 and 6 don’t really do it for me
I’d order #1 today, except the bag I bought in 2004 just won’t quit. Every seem and stitch is still well intact. One of these days I hope it gets caught in the X-ray machine at the airport, and accidentally gets shredded. That way I could justify buying a new one. Unfortunately, I think my bag will ugly out before it ever wears out.
#1 – LOVE! Clean, simple, classy.
#2 – I can’t decide if I love or hate it. It’s so disco fabulous. I think I’ll go with love.
#3 – Did someone hit the snooze button?
#4 – It’s too much color for me, but I imagine someone would like it.
#5 – Love it! Interesting.
#6 – Ooooh! That’s a show stopper! But I wonder – if you’ve done the straps and buckles in red, why not do the shoulder strap in red too?
#1 is awesome, I would so buy it even though I didn’t need it. Would you have the option to custom make the bag with different color stripes? 3′s good, I like the look.
5, 3 and 6 but mostly 3 unless I was wearing grey plaid.
Not 6 if I was wearing red, but very nice with blue denim.
I can’t imagine 2 unless I was in a shiny space suit.
1 is trying too hard but could work if the colour combo was very contrasty like flouro. Y’know it kinda ‘zinged’
And 4 is just not me.
1- super rad and the texture (yes I got to fondle it) is also killr.
2 Looks like the Hindenburg just before incineration.
3-nothing cool here in the pic
4-love the crazy mix of parts but I HATE the color pallet
5-that is the bag I would go home with today
6-love the hardware- the color matches Superman’s boots
1 = fav
2 = looks like a lesport sac from the 80′s. don’t like at all.
3 = boring
4= looks like a circus tent gone astray.
5 = like it
6 = nothing special, but i guess every line needs one of those.
Less flash and more utility is what I go for. I’m not on a bike so being noticed is not a survival factor, just want to blend in and get where I’m going.
#1 is excellent. A highly probable purchase. I don’t like #2 or #4 at all. #6 looks like a much cheaper bag, for some reason. Like a crappy diaper bag.
Preferentially I counted; love, awesome, buy, favourite or hate, worst etc. Only considered posts with 1 or 2 favourites/hates (2 counted as half votes), 3 or more seemed indecisive.
Here’s my take
#1 too crumpler – don’t go there!
#2 too over the top
#3 too plain but material seem promising
#4 too colorful
#5 too plaid’ish – only if it turns you on
#6 too plain
1 – liquid AWESOME
2 – From the future, but could use some refining
3 – booooooring
4 – YES YES YES – makes me want to D.A.N.C.E.
5 – Fabric would work better for packs
6 – too monochrome
TAKEAWAYS: Make #’s 1 & 4. They’re rad. The others need more work
1 is OKAY but would win more votes in other color schemes.
2 is awful.
3 I like because it looks like a canvassy kick-around bag I once had.
4 is too colorful and it comes off as immature
5 is fabulous, I love random fabrics in your bags
6 is an AWESOME WAY to change up your bags.

1, 3 and 6 are AWESOME
where can i get number 6???!!
Love 1.
Like 3.
5 is okay.
4 and 6 are blah.
2 is awful!
I would definitely buy 1. But not 4. It just looks…well, a little too colourful for my liking.
i think that i like 1 and 4
#1 is fabulous.
#2 is taking recycling too far.
#3 is Eeyore – I think I like this one, but not for me.
#4 is confused.
#5 is something that will sell, but still droll.

I like 1 a lot. 6 is ok, I think it is the straps I don’t like about 6. The rest are just ok.
None of these puppies are “available” yet. We want to know what you think so we build the right ones . . .
1 is amazing, I would definitely buy one.
3 is ok and 2 is just plain odd.
I love 1. The rest are, meh.
I like 1, 3 & 5.
Love 1 and 3.
So-so on 5 and 6.
Don’t like 2 or 4.
I like 1,3, and 5.
4 has crazy colors.
6 is just alright. Kind of blah being all one color.
And #2 looks like an alien (or surfer) is going to pop out.
Keep up the great work =)
1 and 4 are my favorites.
1 & 5 I’d buy as is, with 3 getting high marks for stiching but kind of “meh” on the rest.
#1 is the best, I love the flair
I like one, three, and six. Probably three first, then one, then six.
For my likes, two is too shiny, four has too many colours, and five is too plaid.
I am a fan of one and four but two has got to go.
would definitely go for 1
i love 6 very much!
1 is very nice indeed. The colors in the example are awesome, but it would be fun in other color combos too (navy with lime green stripe, or perhaps a dark purple with a bright sunshine yellow?)
5 would be cool in a snappier plaid. I like plaids, but I like ‘em with a little pop. Which means not so traditional, and therefore might not have been what was intended there. That said, find me something in the *bright* green or blue category, and I would be interested.
4 makes me think of Punky Brewster, which while not bad, doesn’t make me desire ownership of said bag either. 2, 3 & 6 all bore me.
#1 and #3 look great! #2 not so much. The others are OK.
number 1 with a bullet, i would buy one of those any day of the week
I agree a lot with Amy’s comments.
1 is a great bag, neat design
5 is nice, but the plaid chosen is kind of blah
3 is nice and simple, something about it I like
2, 4 and 6 don’t really do it for me
I love 1, 3 & 4.
like #1 and #5 a lot. Not sure about others…..
Love #1
Plus, I like the clip and strap options on #4.
I’d order #1 today, except the bag I bought in 2004 just won’t quit. Every seem and stitch is still well intact. One of these days I hope it gets caught in the X-ray machine at the airport, and accidentally gets shredded. That way I could justify buying a new one. Unfortunately, I think my bag will ugly out before it ever wears out.
1 & 3 for sure. 5 is pretty dapper also, but if two are being made then 1 and 3.
#1 – LOVE! Clean, simple, classy.
#2 – I can’t decide if I love or hate it. It’s so disco fabulous. I think I’ll go with love.
#3 – Did someone hit the snooze button?
#4 – It’s too much color for me, but I imagine someone would like it.

#6 – Ooooh! That’s a show stopper! But I wonder – if you’ve done the straps and buckles in red, why not do the shoulder strap in red too?
3, 6 and 1 (in order of preference). i guess i like monochrome.
I have fallen in love with 1 and 3.
My bad will think I’m cheating on it!
i love 5 & 6, but not so much 1.
1, 2, and 3 for me.
#1 is awesome, I would so buy it even though I didn’t need it. Would you have the option to custom make the bag with different color stripes? 3′s good, I like the look.
4 and 6, the look awesome!
5, 3 and 6 but mostly 3 unless I was wearing grey plaid.
Not 6 if I was wearing red, but very nice with blue denim.
I can’t imagine 2 unless I was in a shiny space suit.
1 is trying too hard but could work if the colour combo was very contrasty like flouro. Y’know it kinda ‘zinged’
And 4 is just not me.
Love 3,
Hate 2,
1 is nice,
The rest, eh.
Any other colors you’d like to see? Or names you’d dig?
please create this one in extra small, small and medium
http://www.timbuk2.com/blog/2009/01/13/would-you-wear-this/
Love 1,3,5 and 4 if i were able to change the colors.
2 is just to shiny and 6 is ehh..
LOVE 1. Please please please don’t put 2 into production.
I love 5!
1 and 3 are fabulous, 2 and 5 are pretty nice, 4 and 6 I would never use. But I’m kinda not into the bright colors, ya know?
1. is cool. check with armstrong..he might sue! lol otherwise go speed racer go!
2. is cool.. when it rains… very slick
bad for summertime… to many squeaks against skin? eww
3. is very nondescript. doesn’t pop – meh
4. is 3′s evil twin.. too confusing nope
5. Berbury’s irish cousin? nope
6. Product (R)ed???!
if 6 + 2 = shinny red pleather?
One, two, five and six.
Two reminds me of Blade Runner.
I’m not getting good vibes from #2 and #4. But I already own one bag and hope I won’t need another for a long time.
Love 1,3 and 4
like #1,
but LOVE the stitching on 3…maybe color contrast could be more extreme between stitching and bag
Totally love #1 and #6 (if it came in blue)
1- super rad and the texture (yes I got to fondle it) is also killr.
2 Looks like the Hindenburg just before incineration.
3-nothing cool here in the pic
4-love the crazy mix of parts but I HATE the color pallet
5-that is the bag I would go home with today
6-love the hardware- the color matches Superman’s boots
Personally, I like 3, 1 and 6, in that order. The others? Meh.
Love 1, the stripe is great!
I like the mismatched buckles on 4, not the colors, though.
The pattern on 5 is great.
2 is horrible! Never!
1 = fav
2 = looks like a lesport sac from the 80′s. don’t like at all.
3 = boring
4= looks like a circus tent gone astray.
5 = like it
6 = nothing special, but i guess every line needs one of those.
so overall 1 is by far the coolest.
3 all day everyday
perfection…
No.3 is fantastic, reminds me of the simplicity of the singlespeed series that i love so much!
1. looks like a bag from another company..
2. love it, especially if its reflective!!
6. i like this best!! simple!!
when is the Van Halen stripes one coming out. i want one, for FREE!!
1 is awesome. 6 is cool. The rest are not.
1,3,5,6
Less flash and more utility is what I go for. I’m not on a bike so being noticed is not a survival factor, just want to blend in and get where I’m going.
Dane likee uno und tres.
Graham likee uno also.
Very Steve McQueen/Mustang Mach 3.
Graham says 6 would look better in Kelp.
Pris the replicant votes for numero dos.
But not Dane or Graham.
Maybe if the Patrol was silvery-shiny, that Star Wars stormtrooper brigade would squawk Taska on their comms and place a big order. Roger that!

#1 is my fav
I have to go with 1, 5, and 6. In no real order. 4 is crazy, but not my style.
1 is AMAZING
2 is just eh…
3′s pretty cool
4 has a hideous colour combo
and 5 and 6 are just okay. x]
1 and 3
no. 5.
i have too many plain timbuktu
#1 is excellent. A highly probable purchase. I don’t like #2 or #4 at all. #6 looks like a much cheaper bag, for some reason. Like a crappy diaper bag.
1 and 5 are great. I don’t like 2.
1, 6 and 3 are awesome. I’ll take any prototypes of any of them off your hands.
I like #3 and #1.
Just geeked out a little and added up the numbers so far.
Top 3 Loved:
1 – 29 Votes
3 – 10.5 Votes
5 – 4.5 Votes
Top 3 Hated:
2 – 8.5 Votes
4 – 2.5 Votes
6 – 1 Votes
Preferentially I counted; love, awesome, buy, favourite or hate, worst etc. Only considered posts with 1 or 2 favourites/hates (2 counted as half votes), 3 or more seemed indecisive.
Love #1, everything else… Meh.
Love: #1 and #3
1, 3 and 6!
maybe 1 even in different colors
3, 4, and 6! They look so cleeean.
Here’s my take
#1 too crumpler – don’t go there!
#2 too over the top
#3 too plain but material seem promising
#4 too colorful
#5 too plaid’ish – only if it turns you on
#6 too plain
Ed & Ethan. Appreciate your comments. What do you like? I ask in a totally earnest way — we want to design bags you guys love.
LOVE No. 1. Would like to purchase asap!
No. 6 is cool, but I’d get it in blue or green rather than the red. I like the plaid of No. 5, but probably on a smaller bag (say, Eula-sized).
I love 1 and 3!
Lizzy – Love any Timbuk2 so I’ll just rate from love best to least. But do stick with 3P.
best 1 3 4 6 5 2 least
1 – liquid AWESOME
2 – From the future, but could use some refining
3 – booooooring
4 – YES YES YES – makes me want to D.A.N.C.E.
5 – Fabric would work better for packs
6 – too monochrome
TAKEAWAYS: Make #’s 1 & 4. They’re rad. The others need more work
6. the others are boring and ugly.
3, 5, and 6 would be my favorites.
1 is OKAY but would win more votes in other color schemes.
2 is awful.
3 I like because it looks like a canvassy kick-around bag I once had.
4 is too colorful and it comes off as immature
5 is fabulous, I love random fabrics in your bags
6 is an AWESOME WAY to change up your bags.
1, 4, and 6 are fantastic. I’d buy one of them, most definitely.
3′s fine, 5′s all right, and I don’t like 2 at all.
1 is ok
3 takes the cake for me… but i’d like to see you guys play with stitching colors some more. i say make it pop!
LOVE 1 AND 6
1, definitely 1
1, 3 dan 5 favorit.
2, 4 dan 5 biasa-biasa aja.
suka yang semuanya merah… keren
eng :
1, 3 and 6 are fave.
2, 4 and 5 are so-so
love the all red one… cool
I love 1, 2 and 3.
the rest can go.
1 & 3 – YES, YES, YES!!
5 & 6 – Mmm.. Okay, I guess. Take ‘em or leave ‘em.
2 & 4 – What are you thinking/smoking? Hipster crap.
After looking at the site for a moment on a new bag, I decided that I want #1…
Make it hap’n Cap’n!
i love #1 and #3
i don’t like #2 and #4
I agree
#3 looks promising
hoping you could offer #1 and #3 in not so dull colors
1 4 and 6, can i buy 1 please?
1 is way cool
4 and 5 are neat also
when can i get one?
1. Favorite
3. Looks pretty cool
6. Add some black stitching like number 3 and it would better
3 is hot
1 and 5
Not one nor five. I’d take the rest! I like 4 especially.
1,3,6 !!!
6 is totally awesome… when you will put it on production??
thanks
I really like #1 #3 and #4 but not so much any of the others, the plaid is not timbuk2 style, keep it clean and fresh
1 and 3 are absolutely awesome. The rest … eh.
love 1 and 3
I’d take #1!
I really like #1. I think the option to add a stripe like that in custom colors when creating a custom bag would be awesome!
Love 1 and 6. Don’t like 3.
5 is great, and would be better if it came in even more tartan plaids, and also if it came with a matching kilt and bagpipes.
It really should come with its own warrior.
So are any of these going to get made?
I love #1 and #5 !! I think both of these would be big sellers!
I definitely do not like 2. 4 and 6 are kind of like fraternal twins, though i agree that 6 could benefit from some contrast stitching.
3 is cool with the contrast stictching, I would want one of those (with a t2 logo to match the stitches)
not so sure about 4. maybe offer plaid panels, but not a 1-panel plaid bag.
Yes! We are going to produce the most popular one (#1). It will launch in June in several colors. Stay tuned!
3 and 4 are great
You guys were so close on that last color scheme. I said *lime* green. So close.
Still love the bag, I will have to try to scrape together the cash to get one. Any plans to offer this style in a laptop friendly style?
I love #4!!!!
Number 1 is pure W.I.N.
