    The bag is great when it's not in a closet.

    I work in a large occupancy industrial environment, where I've been dubbed as "the guy with the leather backpack." I get a lot of positive attention, frequently stopped by strangers for compliments. I use this bag for everything: work, travel, camera gear, etc. I've had this bag for 2.5yrs, and have loved it the whole time. The bag does start off stiff, as good leather does, but once it breaks in it becomes quite comfortable over time, so don't worry if you think the straps are uncomfortable since they'll feel just fine in a short amount of time as it breaks in to your body. The pockets stretch over time too, so the front laptop pocket will fit a laptop snuggly, but now it can accommodate the laptop and a couple notebooks. I've used leather milk on it a couple times and it really makes the bag pop while keeping it healthy; In fact, I'm going to apply more now.

    GREAT BAG

    I don't like readin long reviews, so I'll keep this short. Got my Squared Backpack in walnut yesterday, and it looks awesome! The bag is large, but it fits what I regularly carry daily (I didn't realize I carried that much stuff) nicely. Truthfully, the bag fits my 6'3, 225 frame perfectly. I'd read reviews discussing declining attention to detail and craftsmanship with the bags. Mine has no such problems. I received the padded straps with the bag (pleasant surprise). Add in the free wallet for Father's Day, and the 15% discount for military (thanks Saddleback) and this is a purchase I don't regret for a second. I'm done wasting $250 on bags that won't last and aren't made well. Saddleback is the way to go.

    Great Company, Great People, Great Service!

    I want to give a shout out to Meredith of SBL Customer Service. I just chatted with her about the padded sleeves for the squared backpack. (I bought a Dave's Deal in tobacco a few months back. It didn't come with the sleeves.) When I asked about the cost of buying a pair, she offered to send them to me FREE OF CHARGE. Not only does SBL craft quality products, they empower their CSR's to make decisions without having to seek a supervisor's approval. SBL is a great company with great people who provide great service.

    Great design

    Great design. The leather is great on the inside but feels like plastic on the outside.

    Great Bag, Lining is Disappointing

    I've been a huge fan of Saddleback for years - this is my third bag. I've used the messenger bag daily for over four years and use the dry bag for a camera bag. Love both bags to death. I picked this up because I didn't have a proper backpack - which is probably the only reason why my wife doesn't have me sleeping on the couch after buying another Saddleback bag. This bag is not lined with that kind of rugged hard, resistant pig skin from my messenger bag four years ago. This "Natura Pigskin" is like a suede velvet type leather. While soft to the touch, it gets ugly stains when it comes into contact with leather conditioner - or honestly, anything that may spill in your bag. I don't doubt that it is still rugged, but with prices having been hiked, I'm left a little disappointed. Again, beautiful bag and exactly what I have come to expect from Saddleback aside from this caveat.
