So far this bag is really nice! its as sturdy as it looks from the photos, it fits my needs well and I would definitely would recommend this bag, Ill be back with an update at the end of summer to see how this has held up, as well as an update after the fall semester for school! ( p.s; as with most backpacks and bags, dont try to over stuff the bag, or burden it with too much weight as this can cause wearing of the stitching on the inside, as well as the straps themselves)

This is probably the best backpack ive ever owned. Opening the box and finding it well packed inside a nice burlap bag, i knew it was going to be something of quality. Superbly stitched seams, stong, thick leather. This bag is very well made and the smell of fresh cured leather is great. There are many pockets for your things, even two drink holders if you are going on a short hike or picnic. Theres room for a full change of clothes, books/laptop, trinkets, and goodies. You will not be disappointed with this backpack. Well made! Pros: -Outstanding quality leather and stitching -Sturdy, strong straps, zippers, and pockets -Intuitive design, easy to use and comfortable to carry -Well packaged; shows the manufacturer cares about its product -Great price, (dont throw your money away with luxury-brands!) Cons: None

I’ve given each of my grandsons one totaling 5 . They love it .

I have a large and heavy 17 laptop with a large backpack to carry it and all accessories and documents when needed. However, I just purchased a small and lighter laptop to take on vacations, so wanted a smaller leather backpack. As a longtime leather craftsman, I refuse to buy products labeled genuine leather, I only buy items labeled full grain cowhide. This backpack hit all my requirements. I am now using it to take my iPad and a few fun items to my bi-weekly chemotherapy treatments. It carries what I need, such as cords, portable charger, munchies, etc and is very comfortable. My wife will also enjoy the smaller backpack when she volunteers at a charitable organization doing their bookkeeping. If I could change anything about the backpack it would be to make the outside pockets slightly larger. Not in length or width, but wider from front to back. It is difficult to reach in and pull out items stored in them. The large pocket at the top is too narrow (front to back) to hold my extra pair of glasses inside their case, so I have to store the glasses unprotected and be extra careful they dont get crushed. I havent figured out the purpose of the small pocket with the vertical zipper, but I use it for something.

Very nice quality

the bag is really handy and fits all the things you need while traveling

Great looking pack that I received several compliments on during my travels. Only two issues. One the main bag zipper broke after about 2 years. Two the front pockets just slide behind a bar and do not actually latch. The strap easily slides out and I have lost some items. I do a lot of air travel and my stuff does take a beating so I expected the wear.

I love my my new leather backpack. I spend a great deal of time in coffee houses because that is where I study, write my poetry, prepare my songs because dj, read my online periodicals just to name a few. I have so many electronic gadgets, cords, pens, mouse, perfume, external drives, my latest magazine of Monocle, and all these things fit into my new bag. I just got a new Mac Book Pro 15 inches and the cord man it all fits. I can organize all this stuff in this back and I love that fact. It thin and my little Starbucks travel canister fits just fine on the side. LOVE THIS BAG. I have been through so many other bags and just never satisfied. The other bags I was always forced to dig and search for items needed to get my task down, this would frustrate me to no end. Now all that stress is gone. I am now a happy camper.

My wife bought me this backpack for Christmas as a replacement for my Army assault bag...because its illegal to own camouflage when we travel to Trinidad (Im not making this up). The Polare leather backpack holds my laptop, iPad, cords, notebook, pens, and wallet. It looks great, wears comfortably, and is durable, so I may even be persuaded to completely replace the Army gear for this one. It could happen.

Love this bag, feels great, good quality lots of pockets for use, only gripe I had was thought it was a tad bit bigger, however this does not detract from what an excellent quality bag.
