Great Travel Companion

Before purchasing this bag I had never had a traveling backpack and did much research to find the "perfect" one for my trip overseas. Before purchasing I was attracted to the SL division of Deuter bags because they are made to contour a woman's body, the straps are made for a slender build and the hip belt is made to even out the weight you carry. The price was also appealing, I liked the color and the 24L size, so I purchased it. It ended up being better then I could have asked for. I traveled through europe for 17 days with this bag. It never hurt because of the hip belt and made it comfortable to walk around with my belongings inside. Its not too large which is good for my 5'4'' 130lb build. I was able to fit a lot of clothes and even two pairs of shoes inside especially when rolled up. It comes with its own rain cover which is helpful. Also the ventilated back system is really great in hot or humid places. I love this bag, can't wait to go somewhere new, hope this helped, enjoy your trip!

I bought this bag for 2 reasons. 1) to take on our Christmas trip to Paris, France and Bruges, Belgium and 2) to use as my laptop messenger when school started back. It's been great for both. I crammed all of my necessary travel stuff in it for our European trip (New Trent backup battery, MiFi, various chargers and cables, books, magazines, hat, gloves, scarf, etc) and carried it for hours and hours every day while walking around sightseeing. It was an excellent travel companion, I really like the pocket on the bottom intended for chargers, I keep my laptop charger and a Belkin mini surge protector in it. I also carried an iPad 2 in its own zipper sleeve inside the laptop compartment.

Now that school has started back I keep my laptop in the laptop compartment, it's a Dell Inspiron 1520...the Timbuk2 website actually says my laptop is too thick for the bag but it fits with room to spare.

As other reviewers have said, the laptop compartment could use more padding, so far that's my only slight criticism.

I ordered the Large size, I'm a pretty big guy and it seems proportional for me.

This charger is a great travel companion. I did not have any issue charging my devices during my European vacation. I highly recommend this product.

I travel every week for work so this is a great addition to my carry-on.  I keep an external battery, iPhone charger, MiFi, MiFi charger, and my headphone chargers all on here, they do not budge.  You can customize your fit since it has so many different layout options.

The Garmin NUVI 855 is a perfect travel companion - especially for my wife who needs to find many out of the way addresses in Portland, Oregon-a difficult city to navigate without help. We have been using the Garmin 'out-of-the-box' without any upgrades. I am anxious to see if we can download and update the addresses, especially business addresses, that are not always accurate. Overall, though, a very good product.

I love this thing.

Took it to Africa where outlets are few and far between- lifesaver, and the usb ports great.

I took this on am immediate international trip and I cannot over-emphasize how happy I am with it.  During travel it is easy to pull out your travel documents, cash, credit cards, identification, etc. and just stuff them back inside your pocket in a rush to make security or leave security checkpoints.  This is how things get lost.  With this wallet, I was able to organize all of those essential things and keep them organized. It made my traveling much hectic and avoided the unnecessary panic of searching for something you seemed to have misplaced or dropped.  The RFID pocket was a bonus.  I highly recommend.

Great addition to my travel needs. Small and accurate and seems to be very well built.

A great travel companion!  the laminated map works great - i always prefer these to the ones available from your hotel reception.  For a week in Seville, this is all I needed, with a little trip advisor on my phone.

I often travel with 2 tablets and a cell, so this became the best option to replace the 2 chargers that I currently carry. There's nothing like watching folks hunt for outlets in the airport when a delay is announced.

The size and weight are manageable and the unit fits well either in my backpack or my pocket.

This is a great travel item that is a must for all travelers.  It compacts really well for packing and is great for charging all your items at once.

I travel on business and I was looking for a GPS device that would be: reliable for navigation; mount conveniently; and be easy to pack along on trips.  I did not want: a picture frame; an MP3 player; a cell phone, etc., -- I just wanted reliable, portable navigation.  The TomTom ONE 130S was been an excellent choice based on this criteria.

The directions provided have been on target during my travels in Florida, Georgia and New England.  The mounting system is small and simple.  The GPS device, the mount, and the car charger, all fit easily in my briefcase.  The smaller display takes up less room, and the voice directions make a larger screen unnecessary.  It's a great traveling companion.

This little netbook is a great traveling companion. You can quickly lock onto wireless internet and check on schedules, etc.  I purchased a USB mini-mouse which is easier to navigate than a touchpad.  I am quite happy with the spacing of the keyboard keys-I have no trouble touch typing, and only seldome do I hit the wrong key.  The 6-cell battery and 160 GB Hard Drive make this a formidable computer. From Spokane, WA. johnlhynes@yahoo.com

This is just what I needed for a two week trip to Europe.  It's compact, worked when I needed it to, and has 4 outlets so I was able to charge multiple things at once.  If you just have a phone, or laptop, or use USB charging, you may not need this.  If you carry more than one device and want to be sure you can charge up when travelling, don't hesitate.  This is one Monster product I think is worth the money.

Note:  If travelling outside the US, you may still need to get an adapter for the wall socket.  Just Google adapters for the place you are going to, and you will see what I mean.
