    With me wherever i go

    I call it "My ridiculously over-engineered leather backpack" and I tell everyone it is bullet-proof. So far no one has doubted me. My backpack is now about two years old and has been all over the US with me. It's just the right size to hold my Macbook Pro 15", power supply, a portfolio and some folders in the main compartment, and all the iPhone charger cables, business cards, etc in the accessory pockets. My IPad goes in the front deep, narrow pocket and my aircard and two small notebooks go in the side pockets. The quality, fit, and finish of this backpack cant be beat. The acid test? The folks who comment on the most are TSA agents, who see thousands of bags a day. Takes something special to get a rise out of them!

    D-Ring Dilemma

    My wife gave me this bag for Christmas last year. I travel constantly for work and get compliments on this bag everywhere I go! It is very nice and the quality is unmatched to any other leather bag I have seen. There are only 3 things I think everyone who is considering this bag should know. 1. It is quite heavy, but this is also a sign of the quality and durability. 2. The seam at the bottom of the back can chafe your lower back. The optional lengths for the shoulder straps make it so its rides too high and chafes, or rests lower on my belt but then carries the weight too low on my back and can cause some lower back aching on long travel days. I chose the chafing and now my lower back is almost as leathery as my bag! 3. The D-rings that are used on both ends of the shoulder straps are secured with a threaded end and an attached nut. If you do not frequently tighten the nut; the d-ring opens and the shoulder straps just fall off. Can be very annoying. The other day as I checked into a hotel the guy behind the desk complimented the bag. I said thanks. As I swung it off my shoulder the bag went flying and I was left there with just a shoulder strap in my hand. The guy said, "Much cooler than practical huh?" I replied, "Pretty much." If this issue could be fixed I would gladly give this bag a 5 star rating. All that being said, I do not plan on using another backpack for the rest of my life. My wife and are fans of Saddleback. She uses the small clutch purse daily, I use the wallet, gave wallets as grooms men's gifts and just ordered an iPad cover today. Great products but there is always room for improvement.

    Possibly the best backpack ever!

    I'm 21 years old and am happy to say this is the last bag I will need to buy. It is perfect, the pictures and YouTube videos do not do justice. The bag is amazing in person. I purchased this bag in dark coffee brown and it is beautiful! It will take a few weeks to break in the straps, so be patient. Other then that, it's perfect.

    Brilliant

    This is the first saddleback product I've purchased but won't be my last. My expectations for this backpack were high before seeing the bag. I've seen the videos and read all of the reviews but nothing prepared me for the sheer quality and craftsmanship of this backpack. It's sturdy, heavy, and rock solid to its core. I thought the 100 year warranty was a bit of hyperbole but upon a thorough inspection of the pack I realized it could last a hundred years or more. I could list endless reasons why I love this bag but no video, testimonial, or written review can give justice to the greatness of this backpack. It has to be seen and held to be believed.

    Exclusively my favorite travel companion

    This backpack is the most insanely well built leather product I have ever bought. It is the only product that I've come across that is Classy, Rugged, functional, beautiful, and tough all in the same package. This was my first purchase from Saddleback Leather, and the start of a long line of future purchases. I've now owned my backpack for about 1 year, I travel between the southern states, and northern B.C. Canada quite a bit and it has been, and will exclusively remain to be my favorite travel companion. Jeremy
