    Front Pocket Backpack

    I've received my front pocket backpack today. I'm always a bit concerned when ordering anything due to the new leather with more natural marks. I'm actually OK with healed marks, but the pigskin on one of my previous orders had unhealed marks that were actually holes--not cool. I'm happy to report that the cow leather and the pigskin were both in good shape on this order. The design of the bag is great, but the first thing I noticed was that the shoulder pads did not have the padded sleeve. I called customer service and they told me that they phased the pads out. Unfortunately, Saddleback has not updated their website to reflect this. Half of the front pocket backpacks pictured have the pads and half do not. Customer service did apologize. I assume that this is another cost saving attempt, but the pads would be value added. Still, I'm keeping the backpack and I would recomend it.

    Easy Rider/Perfect Bag

    This bag is absolutely beautiful and made for the adventurer in all of us. I bought the large FPB and have used it as my daily carry bag for a while now but the main reason I bought it was to be my luggage bag for my Harley motorcycle. I have to say that it exceeded all expectations when it came to doing what I bought it for. The rings located on the bottom of the bag provide the perfect place for some bungie cords to go through so that the bag sits on the back seat perfectly. I have just gotten back from a 400 mile ride and it didn't move one bit and it turned the heads of more than one person on the road. Thanks Saddleback for making a perfect backpack for my bike and me.

    To the top of Africa - one year with the Saddleback Front Pocket Backpack

    Last summer I took this bag to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. It was absolutely overkill for the six day hike, and carrying the extra weight of the full-grain leather was not especially great for my back. But I ABSOLUTELY had the coolest backpack on the mountain, and knowing some of the scuffs and scars on the bag were from VOLCANIC ROCK is a pretty great way to build memories. Overall, the bag has been a phenomenal purchase. It's incredibly sturdy, absolutely gorgeous, and has more space and pockets than I know what to do with. I don't always use the D-rings on the bottom, but with a couple of utility straps on hand, they're super helpful. Unless this bad boy gets stolen at some point, I'm sure it'll be something I keep with me the rest of my life. My only complaint is with what the bag looks like when it's not totally full. When there is nothing pushing it up from below, the top flap goes kind of concave, and makes the bag look a little bottom heavy. Generally, I'll just roll up a Maasai blanket and keep it under the top flap, which makes the bag look like it should. And hey! My Maasai blanket is handy whenever I need it. So that's cool. All that to say, I'm a world-traveler (26 countries so far) and I tell you without a shadow of a doubt that this bag is PERFECT for staying on the go. I haven't regretted the purchase for a single moment.

    Love backpack, wish tobacco color was as it used to be!

    Love the backpack, it holds so much and is comfortable to wear-- I am 5'2" female. But wish the tobacco was a creamier color as several items other I have from a few years ago. I don't like the smokiness of the new tobacco and wish I had ordered any of the other colors.

    Discover A New Definition Of Quality

    I received my "large front pocket backpack " over a week ago, and it has already been on a trip with me. I travel a decent amount with my job, and I always use a backpack as a great way to keep me organized and the things I need close at hand in an easy portable way. I had wanted a leather backpack for years but I kept putting it off as many leather backpacks on the market are too small and use cheap leather. I knew what I wanted and I found it at Saddleback. The cost initially made me hesitate as the price for the backpack seems excessive. However I sell fine leather furniture and after watching the videos on how your leather is made and your items are constructed, I could see, you do make your products to last. I had another trip coming up and had the backpack sent 2 day air. I ordered the Tobacco as I prefer natural leather to dyed leather and the leather showed range marks and scars but I was expecting that and would have been somewhat disappointed if the leather was perfect. The leather used for the backpack is thick and stiff, but that's new leather, and it shows the quality of leather used, you put good stuff in you get good wear out. I was concerned the bag might be too small for my needs, but I was pleasantly surprised to find it is adequate and if any bigger would be too big to bring as carry on luggage on a plane. I loved the fact that after coming back from meetings and leaving the bag in my room I open the door and the whole room smells like leather. The only negative I found with the bag is this, I wear white shirts and unfortunately the leather does bleed and my shirts had brown streaks on them where the straps rested. I am hoping that doesn't happen much more. Other than that, I love the backpack, and see it becoming my best friend on all my future trips and expeditions. I got compliments on it from the baggage screeners at all the airports and from fellow travelers. It is an exceptional product, worth the price in my opinion, and one I would highly recommend to any in need of a quality backpack that likes the old baseball glove look and feel.
