    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.

    Our First Backpack for Wolfie and Kitty

    I have been looking for unique Backpack for years and came cross this website, saved it and kept coming back looking at the design. I showed my wife the site and I got "ummmm... No." from her. After our trip to Disneyland and had no clothes or a backup bag for a day there which we got baggage back from the airport next day. I was looking at a Classic Briefcase or the Thin Classic Briefcase but I needed a travel bag. I needed one that wont go under the airplane. So I saw the Dark Coffee brown Front Pocket Backpack online. When I got all the items I would load in the backpack for a trip I realized I needed pockets. When I got the chance to buy it, my wife said she got it for me. When I got it I was excited. After watching and reviewing Dave and his wife model this backpack video for years and Youtube video reviews I'm happy with what I got. Front Pocket Backpack, was used to hold my asthma machine and its cords (using tie wraps from Home Depot, sorry Dave), 1 set of clothes for my wife and I, blanket, Laptop, and some room for more stuff. It worked out. We take it to Sedona trips and took it to my wife family cabin in Sault Ste. Marie Michigan in August. Yes, at first the backpack is heavy 6.5lbs which was ok for me. Quality is amazing. I had to adjust the straps fit better to my comfort. Some reviews said there would be errors or mistakes in the making/packing which I didn't have any issues with. Getting it in overhead compartment in airplane fit and when its full. Having this backpack full we did have a good standing up bag to put our feet up while waiting for any flight. We spilled items inside by accident, cleaned up nicely even thou I freaked out when it happened but now I'm good. LOL! My wife was impress with the Backpack, we now able to use it on our trips. I still look at site here and there for ideas for my backpack. Great item to have even thou it took me years to decide on it.

    Keeper!

    I am a huge tobacco fan. That being said, I have been disappointed with the darker tobacco as of late. I tried asking if SBL could "hand pick" my bag to assure that I would receive the lightest one in stock. No such luck! They just aren't capable of doing that at the warehouse. I gambled and received my new FPB in tobacco yesterday. It definitely IS darker than my other lighter tobacco products BUT I have to say that I really do like it. It's right in-between the darker and the light that I am used to. That being said, it's a KEEPER! Thanks SBL for another wonderful product. I've attached a pic of a lighter color dry bag next to my new FPB.

    Gorgeous, but not suited for smaller builds (M, Dark Coffee Brown)

    I'm a 162cm female, and bought this even though it wasn't in the women's category. I've been using it for the 4th month now, and I love the look. The simple backpack's lack of a front pocket just didn't do it for me because of the large number of small items I have (cables, keys, portable charger, lip balm and other girly items). The quality of the leather is astounding, and now, leather products that aren't from Saddleback are very very unappealing. The angle of the straps are perfect, and the usual issue I have with backpack straps forcing my arms into perpetual outward tree branches isn't a problem here. The only thing I regret about this is its weight. I understand, though. With the quality comes the weight, but I sometimes spend half the day on my feet. My 15inch MacBook Pro, notebook, pencil case, makeup bag, thermal flask, cables/chargers, and occasional packed lunch are in this bag, and walking around in Singapore (32°C and unbelievably humid) with an extra 5.9 pounds isn't the best of ideas. It would be great if Saddleback had a smaller (less wide) version of the front pocket for women. Overall, a lovely travel bag, but for women, prolonged carrying of this bag (>1 hours of walking) wouldn't be a pleasant experience.

    Awesome backpack!

    I really love this bag. I got the large FPB in Tobacco. I've gotten so many compliments on it, I can't even keep track. This is my first big SBL purchase (I have the median bifold and large passport wallet) and I couldn't be happier. I was looking for something that I could use for traveling, as well as day to day. I've used it for work, as a range bag to go shooting, as my bag for weekend trips out of town. It even held up nicely at South Padre Island. It can easily hold two days worth of clothes, along with my toiletries, Surface Pro 3, chargers, journal, Bible, and whatever else I think I might need. Besides the product being amazing, the customer service is top notch. I had some questions about the product so I called and they were very friendly and professional. I've already looked over the website to figure out what I'm going to get next.
