I have a large. I have taken that thing everywhere. It is two colors of orange and I get some looks but I love it. It carries everything and it is not overly big. Does everything I need it to do and I CANNOT beat this thing up. It's a good bag. I'm thinking of getting the xs or the tote for something a little smaller and for walking around town if I don't need a lot of stuff. but I love mine.

I use an xs for my purse. I have 3 colors. I would like one in every color! They are wonderful. I'll never carry another "purse".

Okay... I have a dumb question here. How do you guys strap it so it doesn't fling around when you move? Do you strap it really tight? I wear my purse like a messager bag (right shoulder to the left hip), but I wouldn't be able to bike with it. The purse keep wanting to fling forward. Is there a trick to wearing messager bags?

I commute with a medium for 3/4 of the year, and a small for summer (less/lighter clothing). I, too, am really happy with the quality of the T2 bags.

@buddha_bellies: All the T2 bags except for XS come with a cross strap, so the bag doesn't slip.

My tb2 came with an extra strap that goes around the front to secure the bag when you're riding. It works very well.

I have a medium which I use mainly as an overnight bag but not on the bike. It's pretty big and I wouldn't want to go too far w/it packed full, it would be uncomfortable.

For overnighters on the bike, I use a metro mini. I pack pretty light, but it's sufficient.
