African Elephant Eats out of Deep Pocket Leather Duffle Bag in Zambia
What Fits - Deep Pocket Leather Duffle
The Deep Pocket Leather Duffle - How It's Made
I've been a fan of Saddleback for quite some time, and have a number of their products. The deep pocket duffle is an outstanding piece. Although it is a recent acquisition, it has become a quick favorite. It's compact, yet carries so much. Easy to pack up with the Gladstone closures, looks SO nice, scores the highest marks in every regard. Highly recommend.
It's really perfect - not nearly as heavy as some of my other pieces, more mobile, fits easily under the seat on a plane. Fills to capacity, space on the outside, leather just as supple as you'd want. It's beautiful, functional. I love my waterbag, and that's something I can give to a baggage handler. It's not that I couldn't do that with the Deep Pocket. I just want it next to me. I literally could live out of the two of them, easily. I mean, easily, for life.
I always wanted some thing just a little bit bigger than the classic briefcase for a four day trip. But it couldn’t be too big. So far, my Gurka cavalier works just fine… But I wanted something that made it louder statement. Enter the deep pocket duffel bag. I just got back from two trips in a row: four-day trip to go kayak the Grand Canyon. Three day turnaround, then leave again for a two week cross-country trip to kayak with killer whales from Dallas to Vancouver. For the last 3 1/2 weeks, this bag has been my daily companion, and I loved every minute of owning it. It’s practical, big enough, opens easy, stays open, and it makes me smile every time I look at it. Unexpectedly, my favorite part is the satisfying noise it makes when I drop it from the double handles onto a wood cabin floor: whhomp! It sounds full, but not too full. It sounds square and round at the same time. It sounds like quality. It sounds like it has character. It sounds like it IS a character.
I keep trying to figure out ways to beat this bag and I just can’t. I’ve loaded a week of beach clothes for 2 people, a Dopp kit,, an iPad and 2 laptops and all the chargers you’d need and it didn’t break a sweat . I’ve loaded a suit jacket 2 button downs 2 pairs of slacks, a Dopp kit and shoes and you could still close it down to the lowest strap hole. It has been snowed on, rained on, used as a platform for my kids to sing from (they decided they were singing astronauts). It is incredibly comfortable to carry in your hand as well as on the shoulder strap. I guess if I could nit pick at anything it would be nice to have a good spot on the bag to put a monogram. You aren’t going to find a better bag or a better group of people to do business with. Period.
I was looking for a bag that would suffice for a long weekend, and this bag is more than adequate size. Construction quality is on par with what I have come to expect from Saddleback, and I can't wait to to get it broken in properly.
