Three Strap Leather Duffle Bag a.k.a. The Baby Beast in Montenegro
Ok after lusting after Saddleback leather products for awhile I finally pulled the trigger once I saw the Baby Beast Duffle. With an upcoming 40th Birthday trip to France in October I decided I would treat myself to the most amazing carry on bag ever! I was blown away by the speed of the free shipping. Then opening the box I was NOT disappointed- as soon as I opened the box you could smell the intoxicating leather smell. Unwrapping the paper I was astonished at the quality of this bag. The leather was thick and sturdy - the stitching / rivets were perfect - and this has the best metal hardware I have ever seen. The interior of this bag was just as amazing as the outside of it. This is a very high quality duffle bag, from what I can tell is a quality company. I highly recommend spending the money on this bag- the investment is worth it for this incredible work of art!
I'm a huge fan of Saddleback and own a lot of their leather. The Baby Beast is great for a several day trip. The only constructive criticism i have is that the main strap needs to be just a little longer....maybe 3 inches. The leather is very flexible, but with the main strap not being long enough makes it difficult to pack enough stuff! This will have to do as I am saving up for the Beast. Leather is awesome, durability is not questioned.....just need to be able to really tug on that main strap to tighten an overstuffed bag!
leather feels thinner than my saddleback side duffle, could be saddlebacks new leather. I agree with the other reviews, the side straps are pointless and get in the way, would be nice to remove them or have an option to not have them on your bag. Great size for many purposes. Overall happy with the product, constant compliments and a great add to the collection.
I’m giving this a 5 but..... this bag needs a handle wrap !! When using the shoulder strap the carry handles get in the way ! I purchased the leather wraps from Saddlebacks site to remedy this situation. Would have been nice to have one included. Now that said... I love this bag..!!! I saw it on that show “How Its Made” The leather and craftsmanship are top notch, very happy with the purchase.
I have three trips under my belt with this bag. Great for up to about 5 days if you pack right. Love the buckles, love the shoulder strap. My only complaint is the short attached handles. They need to be removable, and also have a handle wrap. Just not comfortable to use them when it's fully loaded, then they become extra unnecessary weight when I do carry it with a shoulder strap.
