    Rugged but charming

    As a detective I needed something rugged for the streets but to look good for the office and court. This is the bag. When it came I was like whoaaa , much bigger than expected. Wish it was a little smaller but I am definitely using the space.. Great buy

    SBL - something has changed and it's not just prices

    Just got my black Square and have been a long time SBL customer. Something seems...off...with this leather now. Seems thinner and more.."commericial". Not sure what exactly it is. Not necessarily a bad thing. Just different. However, if it is thinner that seems cheaper to me, esp. given the price hikes. Also, SBL is not including padded straps nor the removable, interior divider as seen on earlier version. Higher price. Less leather. Someone is counting beans over there and driving this company's product in the wrong directdion. -) this is a very nice cover. I do wish it was just a bit longer so it would fit rhodia large notebooks. I'm just not a very big fan of moleskines choice of paper. Anyone that's tried to write with a fountain pen on moleskines paper knows what I mean. Although this has nothing at all to do with this awesome cover! I like the large size so much I just now ordered the small version. I know lots of companies that make 3.5x5.5 size notebooks. Nice job Dave but just know moleskine paper isn't what it used to be.

    A work of Art

    A few weeks ago I ordered and received one of the mountain back bags (medium gear bag) and I was so impressed that I found myself looking at the website daily for my next purchases. I found this bag on Dave's Deals at 25% off. I have looked over the entire bag and I have no idea why it was marked down. Looks amazing! My only issue so far is that I would like to be able to remove the straps to be stowed inside the bag if needed. The straps can be undone and released on the bottom but not the top. I have seen other similiar bags, that have a slit cut in the top of the bag, so the straps can be slid into the bag for storage. If I ever feel the need, or get brave enough, I may do it myself. Also, I was watching some of the videos on the bag and it looks like it used to come with padded straps, not sure why the style changed but I am sure it was for a reason. I was a little disappointed because the padded straps look like they would be very comfortable. But overall, a beautiful bag.

    3 Day Trip In One Convenient Package!

    Traveled by train from Salt Lake City to Truckee, CA. Everything I needed was stowed nicely in my Squared Backpack. I recently ran out of my stash of Dave's business cards - still had 4 people take down website info after seeing my Squared walking around town! More business cards are headed my way - much easier to pass out the cards to interested folks.

    Just get it

    Okay, I'm not even going to mention the leather quality. You wouldn't be reading this if you had second thoughts on that. I absolutley love this backpack. It rocks. Yes, it is heavier than than a normal backpack, yes the leather is tough and will need some breaking in and yes it can take a little bit of extra time to undo the buckles when compared to a click system. But, as my Gran always used to say "all good things come to those that wait". Essentially, this is a backpack that will take everything that you throw at it, and then ask for more. I've only had it for a short period of time, but on a three day trip to Melbourne and then down to Tasmania it took all that I had to offer. Granted, I wouldn't take it on long hikes, but for short travelling trips it is awesome. Don't buy this bag, or any saddleback leather for an ego trip, that's the wrong reason. But, be prepared to receive compliments. As I alighted a taxi in Launceston I heard a wife say to her husband "that's a cool bag, I wonder where that's from". Of course, I told them about the best leather company in the whole wide world.
