Polare Cowhide Leather Multiple Laptop Backpack Day Pack Travel Bag Satchel For Men

I really like this backpack. I travel as a hairstylist for work and usually my traveling bags are more utilitarian than aesthetically pleasing. This one covers both. I really like the looks of it. There is lots of room for all my tools and I love how it stands on its own even when I take items out of it. Most backpacks tip over and I end up tripping over them. This one does not. I’m looking forward to using it for a long time.

Polare products are the best. You wont be disappointed. Real leather and craftsmanship

This bag looks fantastic, the leather looks very high end. Between the internal and external pockets, you should have more than enough room to stow all of your gear. The long external pocket is large enough to fit my sunglasses case and my umbrella and Nalgene fit perfectly in the side pouches. -edit Ive had a chance to wear this while out running errands and it has been very comfortable, the external pockets and side pouches have made accessing my stuff very convenient. I am extremely happy with this purchase, its a very nice upgrade over my old black canvas bag.

Ive only had it for about a week now, but Ive used it pretty much every day since it arrived. I had originally ordered another brand which I really liked style-wise, but it turned out to be too small for what I needed to carry so I bought this as my second choice. What I like: The styling is nice. Its a little darker than I thought, but still good looking. Its leather, so of course it has that wonderful look and feel. The leather appears to be of good quality, and the stitching looks good. I like the top handle. Once it gets broken in I think it will be quite comfortable. It fits my Lenovo P50 with ease and still has quite a bit of interior room. The zippers operate smoothly and appear to be of decent quality. Straps: Even though they have redesigned the straps and added rivets, Im still concerned about their long term durability. I carry quite a bit of weight (if you have a P50 youll know what I mean) and spend much of the time with the pack slung over just one shoulder. That puts the full stress on one strap in kind of a sideways pull. While the straps appear to be pretty solidly attached, they also appear to be made of the same thickness of leather as the pack itself. There is padding which adds some strength, but I still think I would have liked seeing a thicker leather and maybe more reinforcement used in a place that takes so much stress. So far its holding up fine, but well see what it looks like a year from now. Pockets: There are 5 pockets on the back. This is both good and bad. On one hand, it gives a lot of ways to organize, but on the other hand, each pocket is quite small. The reason the photo shows all those things sticking out is because most of them wouldnt actually fit in the pockets they are shown in with the flap closed. I would much rather have seen two larger pockets instead of the 4 lower ones, at least one of which was big enough to hold the big brick power supply of the P50. Or even just replacing the two bottom pockets with one big one would have been welcome. But since none of the pockets are even remotely big enough for the power supply I have to put it inside where it takes up a lot of valuable space and is always in the way. Im undecided on the strap/flap closures on 3 of the pockets. They work ok now, but its really Velcro that holds the flap closed and the strap is a bit more form than function. As long as the Velcro doesnt wear out, theyll probably continue to work ok. Wish they had come up with something more traditional than Velcro though. The pencil pocket could have been a little bigger (deeper) too. It would be a great place to keep reading glasses and/or sunglasses, except that it can only really hold one pair comfortably, and depending on the style, even one might be a bit tight. I have both reading and sunglasses, and I can barely squeeze two pair of small reading glasses or the sunglasses, but I cant put sunglasses and even one pair of reading glasses in at the same time without crushing them. The water bottle pockets seem ample for a normal sized water bottle. I rarely carry a water bottle with me, but do occasionally throw a couple sodas in there to restock my desk. They of course fit easily. You could probably put an umbrella in one too, but I don’t like my umbrella on display all the time so I prefer to keep it inside. Back: The back is both good and bad as well. The breathable fabric is probably nice if you are wearing it around all day, but I use it just for commuting and think a full leather back would probably have better long term durability. Plus I think the fabric back somewhat detracts from the rustic look. As near as I can tell, there is no leather in the back at all other than the reinforcing band for the straps (it doesn’t feel thick enough to have a layer of leather sandwiched in there) and a solid leather back would have made a much more solid attachment for straps too. Interior: The interior is pretty good. There is a big divider with a Velcro strap which holds the laptop nicely, although the strap is of limited use and tends to get in the way as much as keeping anything secure (like all straps in laptop bags). Might have been nice to have one more large divider in there to keep papers and folders separate from the laptop. As is I end up putting them together and it gets a little tricky to slide things in sometimes. There is a zippered pocket which is much larger than any of the outside pockets, so it ends up as a catch-all for all the things I couldnt fit in the outside. The drawback is its not made of leather, but rather the lighter weight lining material, so I dont know how well it will hold up in the long term with everything crammed in to it. Another pen holder or two would be welcome. There are only two. I also would probably prefer to have them with bottoms so the pens would stay in without having to clip them to the pocket. They are made out of the same leather as the pack, but for this application that leather is actually a little too thick. I broke the clip off one of my pens trying to get it to expand enough to accommodate the thickness of the leather. Since they are just loops without bottoms, if you dont clip the pen to the leather it just falls through the hole and gets lost in the bottom. So Im either breaking pens or losing them. It may sound like Im nitpicking, and I am. But dont get me wrong - its a really nice pack. I have high hopes for it and I cant wait to see how it looks and feels a year or two from now once its broken in. (assuming it holds up) Just a few things that I wish had been thought through a little better on a pack that costs nearly a hundred and sixty dollars. Maybe the next redesign will incorporate a few of my suggestions… Until then, I’m going to continue using it and hope I don’t have to make use of the 1 year warranty. Update 12/31/19: Three months later its still going strong. The straps are holding up well and arent showing any signs of tearing yet. The handle has softened up nicely. Zippers still work smoothly. No signs of torn stitching or fabric yet. Still happy!

A very well crafted, sturdy backpack. You can feel the quality of the leather used. The extra pouches attached to it help me to store smaller items, as the three divided compartments inside of the backpack help in the same way. Well worth the buy, I can tell this backpack will last me decades to come.

Beautiful

It is a good size - not too bulky - when frequenting airports, trains, shuttles, crowded areas, etc.,. I have space to keep 2 laptops, accessories, a bluetooth speaker, and the 2 pouches on the sides are ideal for carrying water bottles, even a rather large one (.75 liter). The distressed leather is great looking and has proved to be durable. I bought another one for my daughter and she receives compliments on it all the time. I would buy this item again, IF, it ever wears out.

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.

Wasnt too sure what to expect but this bag looks great and is highly functional.

Very nice quality
