Polare Cowhide Leather Multiple Laptop Backpack Day pack Travel Bag Satchel with YKK Metal Zippers

SUCH an incredible bag. Blows my mind every time I use it that I got this for such a low price. Good: INCREDIBLE leather. Really thick and super soft. Highest quality material. Normally leather this nice is much, much more expensive. Love all the pockets. Even has a place for the hard drive. It looks exactly like the pictures. I get so many compliments everytime I use it. Bad: The bag hangs on your shoulders a bit. Not much weight is distributed to your back so your shoulders take all the weight. The zipper gets a little stuck every now and again but this is a very minor issue. Love love love this bag.

Great bag. My boyfriend can NOT stop telling ALL his friends how much he loves it. He said this is his best birthday yet. Well made quality and deffinetly worth the price, going to last him a long time through all his climbing adventures!

To start off with, the bag smells AMAZING. This bag is definitely made of real leather, and feels and looks great, and marks easily, like leather should, and I like the aged look of the marks. The reason this bag receives 4 instead of 5 stars is the leather dye. After reading several reviews about this bag bleeding onto clothing, I decided to rub a white rag across the bag the moment I unwrapped it. Sure enough, it came saturated in dark, reddish brown dye. Im not a leather worker, so I cannot tell you why this is, but it was worth checking. I am a mechanic, my car interior is black, and most of my clothes are black or dark blue, and I come home most nights covered in oil, so this will not be an issue with me, my wife however, likes to wear bright clothing, so she will be unable to use my bag. I recommended curing the bag with Leather Honey to keep it protected, cause investing this much money in a bag would be ridiculous if you didnt take care of it. That being said, I look forward to putting some hard hours on this thing and seeing how long it holds up. On another note, the straps are leather and the cliché bag strap material, and use the strap through loop method (similar to military duffel bags, except without the teeth to held the straps in place) and are NOT padded. If you have weak shoulders, wear a thick jacket, or pack light, cause over time this could wear on you, and the straps may loosen. I would recommend this bag to others, as long as they dont wear light colored clothes a lot. As to the reviews about the zipper, it does appear rather small toothed for a leather bag, but that doesnt bother me, and there is a leather working shop near me I can use to upgrade the zippers. I have not had it long enough to see how well it holds up, but I will post a new review if it does not.

I really like this bag. I carry heavy books and it seems to be holding up very well so far. I like the looks of the bag and the pockets are great. The quality of the leather is very good, its perfect for me.

I read a ton of reviews on both the back pack and the duffel bag and was worried about the quality until i received them! Whatever problems they have had in the past have been corrected because both of my products came in absolutely perfect! I get tons of compliments on both and as far as functionality and storage its the best laptop/work bag i have had in the past 10 years!!!

This is a good quality, THICK leather backpack. The leather is new and STIFF so it will need to be broken in before it takes on the character of the lived-in vintage personality of a good leather bag. This bag was a great buy and I had no doubts once I saw it in person that I would be happy. Leather requires some simple maintenance though: Coconut oil can help lubricate zippers. Beeswax can help slow down a loose zipper or help a loose strap in the front to get a grip. Leather conditioner and oil helps with water spots and cleaning. There are a few ways to make the bag more comfortable: 1) leave it in the original condition and keep using it! Over a good amount of time, the leather will soften. 2) Break it in by hand. This involves bending, kneading, twisting, rolling, folding every inch of the leather. Think of it like breaking in new leather shoes...as one walks in them, the shoes begin to develop characteristic creases as they bend near the toes with each step. 3) Water and oil/ leather conditioner: I dont mean wash the backpack, but instead, use a few drops of water to rub some character in areas. Leather oils and conditioners can help as well to bring out some fantastic depth of color and tone in the natural leather. Say that you want the edges to be darker, use a TINY amount of oil to help darken the areas that you want darker. Also, leather product, just like leather shoes, will need a clean and a shine every now and then in order to look its best.

I purchased this back pack a few months ago and have taken it 3 trips. It looks great and made of premium leather. I experienced one issue as the snap on the side pocket fell off. I contacted Polare and they immediately sent me replacements parts. As one reviewer previously stated there is a layer of cloth between the snap and the leather so replacement can be a little tricky. Overall a great bag, built with tough, rugged leather and is quite functional for laptops, phones, passports, clothes...etc.

I bought this bag hoping for durability, and it did not disappoint, except for one fatal design flaw, the straps started fraying after a little less than a year. I contacted Polare, they stood by their product and immediately provided me with a replacement. The ones they are selling now seem to have fixed the issue with the straps (changed placement, reinforcement, and added riveting), seems like its ready to stand the test of time now. They also seem to have upgraded the material used for pockets on the inside of the bag (I had no issues with the original material but its nice to see theyre always working on perfecting their products) The bag could be a little bit bigger for my travel needs but I wouldnt ding it in the overall rating for that, and I get A LOT of compliments on it, so its worth it haha Ill update with any further developments but Im very happy with the bag as its currently manufactured and would recommend Polare as a company! (First three pics are the new bag, last 2 are the old one)

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 dont know how Polare does it, but a leather backpack for this price is super rare. I had my doubts before getting this, I thought it wouldnt be genuine or something synthetic. I can totally assure you this backpack is the real deal. Ive had compliments from everyone at the office, and it looks great with formal attire. Only had it for a couple of months but this thing looks, feels and smells great. If youre on the edge trying to decide, dont think twice. I promise it is completely worth it.
