This is by far one of the nicest bags I’ve purchased. Amazing quality! I use it for my laptop and absolutely love it!

I needed a new backpack, as my old book bag style backpack was 6 years old, and very well-traveled in need of retirement. So for a replacement, I wanted a leather backpack that would hold up well and show a little character and patina as the bag aged. I originally looking at Shinola and other similar niche brand backpacks. And while their quality is excellent, their price point is above $750. I chose to at least search for a more cost-effective alternative. And I found it. I decided to give the Polare Cowhide Leather Backpack a try. And with a price point of < $150, I thought I would give it a shot. After all, it has a 1 year warranty and I would be able to return it if I didnt like it. When I received it, I was absolutely amazed at how well built, comfortable, and rugged this backpack actually is! It looks better in person than in the pictures, is very comfortable, and travels really well. And I have received a lot of compliments from people on the look and the styling. There is plenty of space inside, and it seems like there is a pocket for everything. Even with 2 laptops, there is still ample protection and still a great deal of room for notepads, legal documents, electronic equipment, etc. Only time will tell how well this backpack holds up, but to date, its without a doubt the best $150 I have spent in a long time!

This is exactly the bag I wanted for airline travel. Thick, durable leather that smells great. Came in a fabric bag that would be perfect for giving backpack as a gift. Im able to carry two laptops, a laptop charger, my kindle and a writing tablet with room to spare. Front pockets have hook and loop closure as well as the leather strap. Straps on back are 2.25 inches wide and padded. I have mine cinched down all the way and its perfect for how I like to wear a backpack.

This is my first backpack from Polare, but my third bag along with a couple of wallets. The shoulder bag in the picture with backpack, I have been using daily for two years now showing no signs of wear. I do a lot walking while at work and this backpack frees up my hands especially climbing stairs. The padding on the back makes it very comfortable and surprising not hot at all on my back. The first bag I purchase is going on six years old and the leather has broken in well with conditioning it with Leather Honey Leather Conditioner. The zippers on this backpack are smooth and no need for wax or silicon. There are no buckles to break which I have had issues before on other bags. The front three pockets have a leather strap that keeps the flap secured with Velcro. The fourth pocket is zippered and holds a wireless mouse perfect. Has plenty of room in the main compartment for my tablet, day runner, large leather binder, and charging cords. Has smaller pockets for business cards, pins, etc. This bag stands up straight and doesnt fall over due to how wide the bottom is. Thats a pet peeve of mine. Very well-made full leather backpack at a great price with lots of completements.

There was a letter in the package stating that I received a free wallet. There was no wallet in the box.

I bought this backpack and the leather duffel for traveling as it annoys me to have to pack a huge suitcase when I am going away for a week or less this backpack holds a lot of clothes and has several accessory pockets for phone, chargers, medication‘s, toiletries, etc. It has the look and feel of quality leather and thus far has been very durable for me. I’ve traveled six times now with the backpack and does exactly what is supposed to.

Amazing! This backpack is too quality and came in just like every other high end back would come in. It’s own back amd was very well packed. The leather is great quality and will last for years! This bad would be worth a lot more easily 500 at any mayor retail stores. You will not be sorry!

This pack is great. This review is based on my needs and everyone has different uses for a backpack but from my perspective this is the best pack Ive ever had, for the money of course. There are a lot of very nice packs on the market for $300 to $500 dollars so dont expect to get a free lunch. some people complained about the straps coming off and the company added rivets which is very rare for a company so points for them. If you are carrying heavy weight for miles and miles of rough trial this isnt the pack for you but for work and school its perfect. Things I like about it: It stands up on it is own. Most packs fall over and I find this very convenient. It looks fantastic and is made of very nice leather, full grain but still pliable. The zippers move like butter, no sticking, and made of metal, not plastic. The pockets are perfect size and help organize things so that I dont have to go digging for my keys, wallet, change, aspirin, phone charger... It is light and comfortable, even loaded down I can throw one strap over my shoulder and it doesnt try to slip off. The padded vented back is very comfy. Some people complained that it isnt as sturdy as the old leather back model but if you are ripping this back youre doing something wrong. Its plenty strong and much more comfortable. Its perfect size, I dont like huge bags, especially while traveling, its a fantastic carry-on. It smells awesome and, if youre a fashionista, goes well with everything but a tuxedo. Cons: the padding for the laptop pocket could be thicker but I dont carry my laptop so not a concern. The Velcro patches on the pockets could be larger/ stronger. But the straps add to security so, again, I dont think its an issue as long as you close the straps. I dont need two water bottle pockets and would have liked another zipper pocket instead of two bottle holders. Im not part of this company, Ive just been ripped off and disappointed with products so often I was shocked to get a quality pack and Im giving credit where its due. Ive looked all over the web and you wont find a better bag in this price range.

My boyfriend loves this bag! We purchased this for a trip to France and can’t say enough nice things about it. It’s easily big enough for a laptop, a coat, and snacks. Far too often men’s backpacks fit men with broad shoulders awkwardly and look silly- they are just too small. This one fit him just right! The front pockets organized headphones, sunglasses, chargers, sunscreen and a camera perfectly. Everything was easy to get to - he didn’t have to fish around in the bag to find anything - it was all easily accessible.

I asked for this set, sold separately, for my 50th Birthday. I travel frequently and wanted something durable, professional and timeless. These pieces have that in spades. They are visually classic in their styling. The feel of quality is immediately evident to the touch. Then theres the unmistakeable smell of fine leather. I received several compliments the first day I wore the back pack. I wish the toilet bag was the same color as the backpack and duffle. But Im still overall very pleased & the proud new owner of Polare leather products. Happy Birthday to me!
