I previously bought a weekender for my husband nine years ago and it has held up great. I just bought him a different backpack from Polare, which he loves and uses for travel. Now, for this pack, this is perfect, I got the light brown color and immediately treated it with neatsfoot oil. The leather is soft, but with structure. The front pocket is an actual buckle, and the side pockets are magnet snaps, so I wouldn’t put anything valuable in there. The bag itself is open and unlined, but it’s perfect to hold noise cancelling headphones, hydration packs, and other travel essentials. All in all another great Polare purchase I’m sure will last a long time.

Just as I wanted. A fully leather backpack. Good quality, good workmanship and no complains.....

Excellent bag! Was looking for an alternative to carrying a purse and came across this bag. Hits all of the things I need. Big enough to hold my iPad and all of the other essentials I lug around everyday, yet not cumbersome or ugly. Well priced and sturdy. Took it on a business trip and it held up well to the travel, trekking from conference to conference, and evenings out with colleagues. So far... It is the best bag I have purchased in a long time and I have purchased many trying to find just the right bag.

Quality Leather

This rucksack is amazing. The leather is thick and smells like my expensive handbags. I specifically looked for a “ rucksack” I was not interested in a purse backpack although I am in fact using it as a purse. As a side note I am 5’6” and 120lbs and a senior citizen. It is light weight and feels comfortable on my shoulder when I carry it by one strap. As this rucksack ages it will only get better.( like me) I looked extensively online but believe me all other rucksacks do not have the fine leather this one does. There are numerous rucksacks being sold that are made from goat leather , but that is a very thin inferior leather. which smells ghastly. Get this rucksack made with true cowhide grain. I have seen this exact rucksack sold on two different sites for $298 and more. That being said I have taken these photos for your observation

Worth the money!

My dd has loved this backpack! After several months, we had a small issue with the front clasp. However, when we contacted them, they sent us a new backpack. I would have given 5 stars, but the clasp on the first one broke.

I bought one for my husband and another one for me. We like to take day trips/travel and are concerned about bed bugs (US growing problem for travelers), ticks and other pests and wanted something we can maintain clean and hard for bugs to stick on. Fabric is a magnet for pests. I decided to purchase this backpack and I love it. Its very sturdy, roomy, and attractive. We use it for extra clothes, camera gear and snacks, yet it doesnt look huge, its just perfect in size.

This is an amazing leather product ... best backpack ever. The quality and craftsmanship is awesome :)

This haversack is the nicest pack you could ever imagine. The leather use is top of the line. Thick yet pliable. It has that great aroma of a harness shop. I weight 230 and the adjustable straps accommodate me comfortably. I still have room to adjust them. The stitching looks very solid. Compared to anything else Ive seen out there this pack rocks.
