    Coolest Backpack Ever

    My backpack is the discontinued, classic tank backpack, which is not identical to this squared backpack, but it's the closest one, and they look very similar, so that's where I'm leaving my review. I've had my backpack for 3 years and I've taken it everywhere. I use it as a range bag, where it gets quite heavy with 70# of guns and ammo, but it carries the weight as well and as comfortably as anything possibly could. And I don't worry for a minute about it breaking. If I can lift it, then it hasn't reached its weight capacity. I use it as my hiking bag. I know there are lighter bags with more pockets. but I like this one more, so I take it anyway. Not up Mt. Everest or anything, but basic 5-10 mile hikes. Contrary to popular belief and advertising, the Saddleback Backpack is hydration bladder compatible. It's also my carry-on every time I fly. Fits under the seat, and they didn't charge me for it as a carry on on Jet Blue. I get compliments on it from baggage handlers, friends, random strangers. I've had some good backpacks in my life, but none that make me feel as great as this one. Highly recommended if you're on the fence.

    Well Worth the wait

    I have coveted a nice leather briefcase since graduating undergraduate school 23 years ago. Circumstances and budget kept my desires subdued until now. God has finally blessed me with the ability to invest in a nice leather bag. On 3/21/16 my Squared leather backpack arrived. I was not disappointed. The craftsmanship and engineering is unparalleled. The bag is heaven but all of the reviews I have read say the same thing. However the bag is very comfortable. I am a train bus commuter with a max 7 min walk daily. No problem! The bag is comfortable. I would not recommend this bag to small people. I am 5 foot 9 200. A small person may not like this bag. This bag is an heirloom I will pass down from generation to generation.

    Squared Backpack

    Just buy it! You won't regret it. Carries my iPad Pro/MacBook, cables, water bottle, other gadgets, change of clothes, and more. Perfect for a quick weekend trip. Have received a lot of compliments on it.

    Design Issue or Unfocused Tech Support?

    I purchased this bag in black and really enjoyed using it and was able to pack a lot in it.. I stumbled across a design issue where the buckles on the side pockets were mounted too low to accommodate taller items. I could not buckle items that are about an inch taller than the actual side pockets.. I tried to get SBL to fix or exchange, but they did not acknowledge the issue even after sending pictures of my bag vs. other similar backpacks. After a call and more than a dozen emails with tech support packed with their useless cute talks, I ended up getting a gift certificate for a refund. Happy to get my money back, but very frustrating that I could not get an exchange or have them fix the bag.
