This is the 4th Edition of the Squared Leather Backpack and has been refined over the years to what it is now. You'll see old pictures with a fat flat handle, but the new one is high and thinner. And it's still over-engineered. It has no breakable parts like buttons, magnets, or zippers and it's still reinforced with rivets through and hidden polyester strapping at all stress points. In addition, this newest edition of this leather backpack is made from only two large solid pieces of leather instead of three, which means that there are fewer seams on this backpack to tear apart. This leather backpack has a laptop pocket on the front exterior and one in the back that can fit a 17" laptop. Both tall side pockets have a hidden pocket behind them for quick access or for sticking in longer things. The lower and side d-rings on the backpack are great for securing on tripods, blankets, and or dirty and wet shoes. The shoulder straps are minimal, but with a comfortable and adjustable shoulder pad to distribute the backpack's weight where you need it.
---Full-grain leather is the strongest and most water-resistant leather you can use for a backpack, and we use the thick version of it. Like boot leather, but a tad thicker. Then we line it with pigskin, which is tougher than cow leather. Finally, we sew the leather backpack together with a very expensive German industrial marine-grade polyester thread that doesn't deteriorate in the sun as nylon thread does. The hardware is our custom 316 Stainless Steel hardware. I believe we are the only company in the world using such strong hardware to make a leather backpack. The buckles can hold up to a 750 lb. bag of cats without breaking. It's kind of like killing a fly with a shotgun, but I tell you this, you'll never have a problem with hardware breaking on your backpack. If it does break, it'll either be an excellent story or an unfortunate one.
---There are many advantages of a leather backpack. Let us start with a full grain leather bag will develop a beautiful patina over time and tell your story. The more you use this backpack, the better it looks. This will also protect your belongings from the elements better than some synthetic material. Full grain is the most water-resistant, so a little rain won't hurt it. That's what you get with high quality leather goods. Another significant advantage of our Squared Leather Backpack is that it's virtually impossible to tear.
---This Tank of a backpack is not for the faint of heart. It's big but not pretentious, and it's built to last. This is the one if you're searching for a leather backpack that will allow you to haul around your 17-inch laptop and gear easily. It's also perfect for traveling as it fits everything you need.
---You should not have problems getting through TSA with this as your carry-on backpack. It's a perfect size and has plenty of room for everything you need while still being small enough not to be a pain. This is an excellent backpack for a fun weekend trip, or work trip, with enough room for your laptop plus maybe a change of clothes, and whatever other gear you might need.
The smell of the leather, the feel of quality. Solid, dependable, beautiful and practical. Instantly my favorite accessory and destined to stay that way.

I have the original design (with the side pocket leather toggles instead of the buckles), and have used and loved using it for many years. Saddleback has obviously improved the design in the intervening years (no seam at the base of your back, side pocket buckles instead of toggles), so I really need to consider upgrading mine.

I travel a lot. No one has asked me about my bag till I purchased your bag. Each trip 2 or 3 folks come up to me and ask about it!! I think I am your new marketing person

(1) Myself: Humble person having custody of six SBL icons including two backpacks (black, M and L), one front pocket briefcase (black, L, stolen in San Francisco in Dec 2019), one The Beast duffle (chestnut, Grand-Teton size) and this, the Big Bad Boy of Backpack, the TANK (dark coffee brown.) (2) Observation #1: No one actually owns any SBL icons. We are just blessed custodians, and in time, will honorably pass these icons on to the next (generation) custodian(s). SBL quality is beyond my inadequate ability to describe. Holding the Tank in your hand, my dear friend, and you are experience the sensation of immortality. (3) Observation #2: All elements are as they should be. Pockets are big when bigness is required. Linings are where linings are needed. No more, and no less. The blending of utility and beauty is smack-down righteous. (4) Dave, God Bless!

This turned out to be one of the most comfortable backpacks. It holds everything, has sufficient separated compartments, but most importantly--it stands up when placed on the ground or a chair.
