    Wonderful Squared Backpack

    I have been wanting the squared backpack for years! I finally have one! I am a woman, glad my last name is not shown because I am going to get personal...I would like other women out there to know that while this backpack is huge, you too as a woman can carry it off. I am 5'6 180 lbs (yes, I am working on losing weight) and I am 44 yrs old. This backpack can go anywhere, school, work, and up into the mountains on a hiking trail. I have been using mine daily and it has so much room inside that I have yet to fill it. When the bag is empty no way does it feel like 8.6 lbs, it feels more like 6 lbs. I could be wrong on weight but it does not feel like it's over 8 lbs. If you are a woman 5 ft or under then this bag might, might be a little much for you. Yes, as a man bag this would work great too, of course. I think that women might be intimidated buying this for fear of it being to much. If as a woman you are looking at the large classic briefcase then also consider this bag. This bag is not as mushy as the other backpacks, it is more structured. I like that, but you can't go wrong with any of saddleback's products because they truly are second to none! Oh, and yes the shoulders straps do not come with padding, however I love the way the straps are on this bag, PERFECT. I think I would be fighting with shoulder padding slipping and sliding up and down the straps-maybe not but, I love the design from start to finish with this backpack! I got the color black, but I love the color tobacco too so it was a hard decision to make. I chose black because I thought it would go with anything and not show accidental pen marks and scuffs as easily. I have used the bag about 3 days now and I can't find one thing to complain about. I love how it feels on my back, it is so comfortable. I can carry more and have it heavy and on my back it doesn't hurt or slow me down. However, if I had to carry the same bag across my arm or on one shoulder...No Way could I carry for very long. On my back I am hands free, feeling good, ready to take on the world. I hope I have given some new information to the laddies out there who never gave this bag a thought to maybe this would work. It works for me! Lastly I can not speak highly enough about the customer service at saddleback, those folks really care and take pride in what they do. Thank you, Thank you, saddleback!

    Great bag but marginal customer/warranty service

    I've owned my Saddleback backpack bag for at least 6 or 7 years now. Recall that the tag line is that "your kids will fight over it when you're dead". Well maybe not so much. I love the bag and have had lots of compliments. However, customer/warranty support is lacking after the sale. Disappointingly so. I've had two issues - one was a toggle that broke. Replacement was quickly sent. No problem, thanks for that. The other was when the tongue on the main buckle bent after getting snagged on lip of overhead bin. I had to shame Saddleback into making the repair. (I guess the overhead bin of an RJ isn't as compelling as an alligator....) OK so far, but what was truly disppointing was the quality of the repair. The replacement buckle wasn't the heavy rounded buckle that originally came on the bag but a squared off cheap POC replacement. The problem is now that every time I look at the bag I see that cheap POC replacement buckle on the front and can't help but regret 1) that I damaged the original in the first place and 2) that I believed Dave would actually back this otherswise fine product. It's a shame to see a qualtiy product undermined by cheap replacement hardware and a lousy repair.

    Absolutely Love This Backpack!!!

    I bought this bag about a year ago, a few month before my trip to Thailand and Cambodia. Traveling for the first time in a very long time on a two week vacation, I was initially apprehensive about carrying this bag. My apprehension was based on the fact that the bag is a bit on the heavier side. That was my only concern. However, I found the bag to be extremely useful through out my trip. Not only did it actually accommodate more than I thought it could possibly carry, it was also comfortable to carry. And the part that surprised me was the way it fit under the seat in the aircraft!! IT was perfect! In addition, I must also share my thoughts on the backpack itself. The backpack is beautifully constructed. It is a solid backpack and I am sure a lot of people will fight over it when I am dead. I love the smell of the leather and if you look at the studs and stitching, you can tell that this backpack will last a few lifetimes. After couple of trips, my backpack looks really very, very cool!!! It is a little scratched up, a little softer, and definitely draws the attention of others. I have had some great comments from the TSA folks, the security guys in Cambodia etc. !!! I am so glad I bought the Tobacco colored backpack; it is aging so beautifully!!. I have also purchased a wallet (must buy!!) and a laptop bag. I love every product I have purchased so far. The staff are so friendly and helpful and it is a pleasure to interact with them. I have referred Saddleback Leather to so many of my friends who admire my backpack!

    Cutting corners on a pricey bag

    The shoulder straps are thin, they look and feel cheap, which one would never think on such a pricey bag. Also the embossing of the Saddleback name is poorly stamped it's hard to see, I guess they don't want there name out there.
