You can buy cheaper bags than Timbuk2 though I’d argue that you get what you pay for. Timbuk2 bags actually offer protection against the elements. I was in New York last week and it rained poured the entire day. My Timbuk2 Blogger bag kept my MacBook Pro bone dry for the entire 8 hours. If you’ve got something worthwhile to protect you may want to head over to REI where they’re having a promotion that will score you 50% (or more) savings on a selection of Timbuk2 bags. Check out the cargo totes which are usually available in a wide selection of colors.
