    The Perfect Size Backpack

    Listen Gents, if you think you need a bigger backpack, you're carrying too much stuff around with you, and you're that guy who looks like he can't leave the house without a full campout "EDC" even though he lives downtown. I waffled around for a long time on whether this bag would be big enough, and I haven't seen any reviews from after the redesign, so let me tell y'all, this backpack is the PERFECT size and is MORE than big enough. A lot of the old version reviews made it sound like it would be the same depth inside as one of their satchels or thin briefcases and yeah, nope, that is absolutely not true anymore AT ALL. I can carry a 36oz Yeti Rambler water bottle or a full size Stanley thermos, with a 13" laptop AND a 12" tablet (both in the very spacious pigskin internal sleeve pocket), a folded up big fleece jacket, my lunch, plus wallet, keys, phone, and half a dozen other things. The hidden "pockets" behind the front and side ones are super trick, and all of the pockets are more than big enough to be useful. The structure of this bag keeps it a slimmer profile on the back, you can swing your arms back without your elbows hitting it and you don't feel like you're rucking some huge turtleshell around. The straps take a while to break in, but they are comfortable after they do. It's thin enough to give it lots of structure and style, and prevents it from feeling like a big leather sack inside where all your stuff gets all mixed together and disorganized, the pockets are absolutely a must, but it's also plenty deep width wise. If you need to carry more stuff than this around town, campus, or even around an airport as an under-the-seat bag, you've got too much stuff, or you need a proper trekking pack or nylon duffel that wont be so heavy. If you're a commuter or a student, or anyone that basically just wants a classier, lasts-forever leather big-kid version of the functionality and size of an old Jansport classic? This is the bag for you, you don't want anything bigger or less organized. Take my advice, get this bag and trim down your EDC as necessary, because any bigger a bag than this, and trust me, you're the "backpack guy" everyone hates on subways.

    Perfect changes for a perfect EDC

    I owned the first version of this backpack and I liked it, but a couple things didn’t work for my daily needs. This second version is a huge win for me. The leather is gorgeous with more unique characteristics and highs and lows (I owned this is old DCB and now new DCB). The main buckle change now allows independent access to the front pocket. The side pockets are larger and more streamlined. The strap bottom buckle attachment is moved below the bag for a more streamlined look. I love the closure inside the bag and the laptop sleeve addition is a nice touch. Everything about the bag feels different while maintaining a streamlined carry for every day or when the Simple, Tank or Front Pocket are too big for your needs. As a 5’9” female this bag is plenty big with a lot of room for adjustment. Very big win!

    Together at last!!

    I've purchased several items from Saddleback and have debated purchasing a backpack for about a year now..the debate is over and I couldn't be happier with the purchase. I actually use the bag daily (as my purse....kinda') but recently used it for travel. In addition to the multiple compliments....it fits all my day to day items perfectly and the size is spot on. Buy it already! You won't regret the purchase.

    Beautiful traveling piece

    Received my new backpack in Dark Coffee Brown yesterday, in time for my trip to Europe next week. The folks at Saddleback went above and beyond in shipping it out, and I took it back with me to work right after picking it up to give it the first test. I've been using satchels for years prior due to having a small MacBook, so it is nice to finally return to backpack mode; I plan to use as my EDC going forward. It has a strong leather smell out of the box that my colleagues have complimented on, and I am blown away by the quality; I also did not fully expect a pouch inside for my computer (did not see any reviews that mentioned it). I originally opted for the Chestnut color, but after being informed it was out of stock, they were able to switch to Dark Coffee Brown and got it to me literally the next day, enough time to pack before my big trip. That is service! The color of the one I received seems lighter than the stock photo, and is a beautiful, tough feeling backpack all around. Color seems easy to mark, but that's pretty much any leather piece it seems; you get a lighter tan chocolate contrast similar to the edges from scratches or creases (ie, strap areas where there is sharp bending) against the dark chocolate matte finish. I am 5'5" and the backpack fits my frame perfectly (in my opinion). Suffice to say, I've never been this excited for a backpack before. Thank you, Saddleback, and thank you to Meredith with the leather crew!
