I bought this backpack because I usually carry two laptops and an iPad, plus all the power cords/bricks for those devices. As with most commuters there are a number of other items I carry daily for convenience, and there is ample space for all of it. The reason for 4 stars for traveling is that when loaded with my equipment, the straps tend to slip open and I find myself constantly tightening them. It works better with both straps over my shoulder, I usually have the issue when using it as a shoulder bag/pack. I would highly recommend this product, it is gorgeous and very durable.

This is by far the most beautiful backpack Ive ever own. Ive always wanted a genuine leather backpack but every brand I tried is either not my style or just too pricy. This is my dream come true. Just got it few days ago and havent got a chance to carry it yet, but the leather is so beautifully tanned and it has lots of smaller pouches and spaces with this bag. Leather is so comfortable and Im pretty sure itll be better as I use it longer based on my former experience with leather bags. It even has a section for my laptop. Now I can put my MacBook Pro in this and not worry about getting the surface scratched. Nice inside out. Definitely worth the money.

OMG this is the best item I have ever put my hands on. The leather is stiff and you can feel the quality. It even smells like a brand new car. My ONLY complaint is on one of the inside pockets, it wasnt stitched all the way and I hope it doesnt start to unravel over time. If I could take one item to heaven with me when I go, it would definitely be this backpack.

Top quality product, good for search and rescue, fishing, hiking, backpacking, school and first aid. Very comfortable to wear. Has a nice older type of look but yet modern enough for when your stepping onto your private LearJet.

I have had this bag for one and a half years and purposely waited to write this review. I wanted to see how this bag would hold up over time. I stuff this bag with so much on a daily basis...numerous books and other things that make it very heavy. This bag has held up beautifully!! No problems at all...and the leather itself has worn so nicely. So after a year and a half, I give this backpack a top rating!

When the bag first arrived it looked and still looks, classy--and with none of the smells for which other leather bags were being downgraded. Based on the first few weeks, it would have been a 5-star rating, but I wanted to give my assessment time beyond the first impression. Unfortunately, after about 5 months, the top zippers broke within a week of each other. However, I contacted customer service to see about the one year warranty and they were very friendly, offering to pay for my shipping to replace the zipper and zipper heads, or to send me the zipper and zipper heads and reimburse me for a tailor replacing the zipper and heads. My impression is 4+ stars.

After looking around local stores, including discount stores, I could not find what I was looking for. So I took to Amazon, but I am always concerned about buying things like this online because you never know what you are going to get. This bag is exactly as advertised. The quality is excellent! It is not real big, I would say a medium size bag. the only critic I have is the drink pocket on the side could be larger as it is hard to fit a small battle of water in it. Other than that, excellent bag! Excellent purchase!!

I bought this bag for my husband and he really likes it. I was impressed as soon as I opened it to check it out. I cant speak to the longevity of it yet as he has just started using it but it looks and feels sturdy and it really is a great looking bag.

I purchased this in the summer of 16 and loved it at first. Beautiful smell, the leather is very strong, and overall it looks very well made. Unfortunately after about 6 months one of the main straps had started slipping and at 18 months I have to be careful putting it on from that side. Additionally, the main zipper has come loose from one of the sides and split in two so I can no longer zip it up from that side. Very Annoying. I have used the backpack daily to and from the office with a 17” laptop, but it wasn’t exposed to anything more strenuous. Polare was very friendly when contacted concerning the issues and even though it was a bit outside the warranty period, they offered to replace it, if I paid S&H to China. That would have been pretty expensive on its own so instead we were able to work out an agreement for a sizeable discount on a new replacement backpack (new design addressing both these issues). We both recognized that sometimes, no matter how high the level of quality intended, undesired things can happen. Their attention to Quality and Customer Service has shown me that Polare is a company that stands and supports their products fully. As such, I can highly recommend this company and this bag.

Such a fantastic bag. It goes everywhere with me now. I use it primarily as a motorcycle bag, and it has withstood wind and rain without complaint. (I do not usually subject it to the rain, but sometimes it gets caught out in it.) One of the zippers on the main pouch will skip teeth if the bag is full or if I zip it closed quickly. Keep the leather conditioner on it as well, it feels like it will outlive me.
