The Beast Leather Duffle Bag (Old Design) - Searching for a drum in Africa
The Beast Leather Duffle Bag is a Trunk for your SUV
4 Stars Write a Review-
The Papa of all bags!
We just received our new Saddleback Beast bag and it looks just as great as the pictures on the website. This being our first bag purchase, we were impressed by the quality of the leather and craftsmanship. This bag represents everything you would expect from Saddleback and more. It's your ultimate duffle bag purchase. Looking forward to our next Saddleback purchase! P.S. This really is a BEAST! Dave must be a giant among men because he makes it look normal-sized. :)

So THAT'S why they call it the beast!
This bag is big. I am 181cm tall (5'11") and this bag, sitting on its end, reaches my waist. think football (soccer) kit bag and you are in the right area. that being said, it is extremely well constructed, its strapping and handles aiding it in keeping its shape when you are lugging around your stuff. I did have high expectations of this bag, both through the reviews and Dave's videos, and higher anticipation after the item had been out of stock for a while, but I must say it exceeds them all. As I live out of a bag (initially a 100litre rucksack, then a SBL side pocket duffel), this will be a constant companion, with enough space for my restaurant and party clothes (YAY), my work clothes (Hmm...) and my gym gear (wait a minute! what?). It is one big bucket of a bag, so some internal organisation will be needed for used sports kit etc, but that is not a problem in the slightest. As the bag is made with only 4 pieces of leather, there are some character marks(a few lines), however I am of the same mind as Dave et al on this - it lends itself to a more interesting bag. If the marks denoted any weakness, I am sure that it would not pass the quality test. This is on the tobacco coloured version - I imagine that the other styles will have such minor elements removed. The only thing that I am not immediately over the moon with is the strap handles/shoulder pads. this is simply because they are still new and it will take some time to soften them down such that the grip is comfortable when carrying heavier loads (it is far from uncomfortable as it is, but I had to pick on something now, didn't I? ;-) ). I have only had it outside a few times, but already several comments on it - be prepared to be social if you have one of these!. Great job Guys!

Perfect big piece of luggage
My wife bought me the Beast just over a year ago I think in part to humor me and my keen interest/obsession with SBL - never actually expecting I'd make good on my claims to actually travel with it. Since then it's accompanied us to China, BC, Honduras, Iceland, Greenland, Maine and Italy. It's remarkably light empty (no frame, wheels or gadgets) but fills and weighs up quickly. Leather tightening straps allow a compression sack-esque ability to minimize volume. The twin shoulder straps work OK for long walks but I find I spend 90% of my transfers and transitions slinging the massive beast over one shoulder duffel-style. 50lb on one shoulder seems to work fine on my 6'3' frame but all of the helpful people at airports and hotels tend have a hard time. I make an effort to do all of the bag handling. Beautiful functional piece of luggage if your'e big enough to carry it. Never buying another piece of large luggage again. We place bets not on if, but on how much time it will take before someone makes a compliment at the airport.

Dave is losing it ....
OK, I just got a Beast from Dave's Deals....and I have looked from top to bottom...inside and out and can not find the reason that Dave made this 15% off. (But thanks a ton!) It is as good as I thought and all of the other items that I have from Saddleback. My last suit case broke just figured that if it only lasted 1.5 years then this will pay for itself in about 6 years! As for the bag it is off to Jordan in a bit....then it will be scuba diving in Jamaica.....more to follow ....Thanks Dave!

BEASTLY
I received my Beast yesterday afternoon after eying Dave's Deals for the past six months to see if it would show up. It is everything I expected and more! Amazing quality (as always), will no doubt work fantastically on my annual summer trips to southern Africa, and will definitely fit everything I will need plus some. Overall, amazing duffel, can't wait to wear it in!
