    URBAN HIKER

    I have the Squared Backpack in chestnut and absolutely love it. It's my daily carry bag. I have had it for six months now and my love affair with this bag is still fresh as morning dew on fluttering daffodils in the breeze (thanks Willy) . It is something that you may love too if you are looking for a casual type of bag that can carry a good amount of stuff that has an urban and sophisticated air about it--think Crocodile Dundee in a corner office or "I think I'll spend the day hiking Manhattan." Some people bellyache that this bag is too heavy, but I think this is the trade off of having a bag that is much more durable and manly than the so called "European" styles--Seinfeld comes to mind. I for one, although a proper metrosexual male, do not take pride in my effeminate stylings, so I appreciate this masculine, functional, and fashionable accessory. Concerning its weight, I posit that this issue is easily forgotten to the fact that once this bag is broken in--quickly I might add--it feels very comfortable. The organic material of leather seems to hug my back. One final thought, concerning the straps at the top opening of the bag, I suggest simply removing them as I have done with my bag. I have seen one review of this bag where the Squared Backpack in the review developed a "lean" to it in the sitting position--I feel that this "lean" was a result of the straps pulling and folding the top of the bag in an asymmetrical manner (if you aren't anal retentive like me just ignore this part). I have no issue with water entering the bag as the front cover does a more than adequate job of keeping rainwater out. Instead, I loop the strap around a corner D-ring and use it as a key holder with a carabiner style clip. HAPPY URBAN HIKING.

    Would love to see this is a size medium

    Beautiful update! I owned an original and this update takes into account any feedback I would have provided. I have also barrowed one of the round bags for multiple weeks which is close resemblance to the square bag and found it extremely comfortable. Would love to see this made in a medium for those of us with smaller frames or who need something a bit more compact for city life. Te front pocket is a great addition pulled from the original version. I am sold. Put me at the top of the preorder list for a medium, cash in hand!

    A fleeting Glimpse! Part One

    My Birthday is not for 2 weeks! The package arrived early though and because I let my wife touch her "Love 41" bag 2 weeks before her birthday I was given permission to take one fleeting glimpse and a very little touch (of the bag not the wife) as well. Now I'm lost and confused, for just a moment I felt somehow complete a whole person at last but then it went back into the box until my birthday. I now sit at my computer looking at the photo's on the saddleback site. It's like looking at someone else's wedding photo's! Ok, I'm not that tragic, but I can't wait till my birthday to start packing my new backpack. By the way, the moment you open the box, the leather smell fills the room. I'll write again when I open it for the last time.

    Unbelievably good.

    Obviously the bag looks great, and is sturdy, but I was astonished about just how much stuff I could fit into it, even before cramming. I was originally worried about whether the bag would be large enough for my needs, whether it would have enough variety of compartments to sort different items, and whether it would be comfortable. Now that I have the bag, I can fit every thing from my old backpack, plus extras, and I could still get a little creative with the space to pack a spare shirt or shorts on occasion. The interior pockets, are more than enough to sort odds and ends, and the straps are way more comfortable than I anticipated - though I haven't worn the pack for long periods of time yet. I will be needing a few small pouches to sort a few things, but that's just the Boy Scout in me wanting to be over prepared. I might even buy a cable bag (or two) to help me sort things for the main pouch. Honestly, I can't say enough nice things about this bag.

    Backpack with Character!

    A great pack that will last a lifetime and then some. This pack is great for the office or for traveling. I researched before I purchased and knew what to expect. The pack is everything I hoped and expected. Great buckles, great stitching, great fit, finish and quite adjustable. I followed the recommended strap break instructions - only took about 20 minutes and made a big difference. Only suggestion is for the addition of a internal key strap - I knew it didn't have one when I bought it so as I said, not disappointed. I think an internal key strap would be a worthwhile addition.
