Let’s face facts, here — backpacks and messenger bags are more than just ways to carry all of your important stuff with you as you move about your day. They’re protection, too. They’re a way to make sure that when that oblivious stranger slams into you at the bus stop tomorrow morning on your way to work (seriously, what is with that guy? It’s every day with him) your laptop doesn’t suffer any damage. They’re a way to make sure that all of your papers are in order when you get where you’re going. They’re also a perfect way to put a little bit of your own personality on display at the exact same time.

That, in essence, is what the Timbuk2 x Apexer Capsule Collection is all about. These are more than just storage options the Mini Prospect Backpack, the Tuck Backpack and the Classic Messenger Bag are poised to become true lifestyle options in every sense of the word.

Designed in collaboration with a famed street artist The Apexer, they come with dual internal mesh water bottle pockets, internal organizers for pens, phones and other small stuff, Napoleon side entry pockets with zipper closures and so much more. You even get fully adjustable shoulder straps with a permanent, super comfortable airmesh strap pad so that regardless of how much weight you’re carrying, it still feels like a massive burden has been lifted from your shoulders. You even get flap corners that fold into place for superior waterproofing and so much more.
