Timbuk2 Zeitgeist Backpack
Timbuk2 Zeitgeist Backpack – top-loading commuter pack
Timbuk2’s brand new Zeitgeist pack will surely make an excellent around the town companion. This slim profile pack holds a 17-inch laptop in a padded low-profile compartment, which you can access without even having to take off your pack with Timbuk2’s patented Swing Around Access.
Plenty of external zip pockets give you easy access to your essentials and internal organizers keep you organized as well. An on-strap bottle opener keeps you from having to fish through your bag to find your bottle opener at the end of the day.
Made from a lightweight nylon, the Zeitgeist won’t weigh you down. The design is very stealth-like without a whole lot of bulk. Lightweight ergonomic shoulder straps are easy to adjust and comfy.

Timbuk2 basically rocks – I couldn’t have designed a better daypack myself. The swing around laptop access is a major selling point and so is the bottle opener on the shoulder strap – genius!
