    6 year review

    This backpack has been everywhere with me for the past 6 years. It's seen me through 3 jobs, 4 vehicles, 3 laptops. Always carried whatever I needed without complaint, not a single problem with it. I've overloaded it on the back of a motorcycle, dropped it off of said motorcycle in the rain. I've stuffed too much crap in all the pockets and put way too much weight in it(sometimes 50+ pounds). Never burst a seam or broke a strap, despite mistreating it pretty much every step of the way. It's pretty much the only thing that has lasted me into my late 20s that I own, and I've owned a lot of junk.

    Freaking awesome bag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This bag is the bees knees. I have had mine for close to 5 years. I use it daily and I get offered money for almost everyday. I would recommend this bag if you are looking to a high quality leather bag. to most this bag seems a little heavy. To me its perfect. its fits all my gear as I work in the IT field. If you think the price is too high your wrong . As my dad always said you get what you pay for. I think its well worth the price. So pull the trigger and order it.

    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.
