Polare Cowhide Leather Multiple Laptop Backpack Day pack Travel Bag Satchel with YKK Metal Zippers

Ive had this backpack for 12 days now. The day I got it my first impression was that this was an exceptionally well built backpack. Over the short time that Ive had it some flaws have became apparent which just shouldnt exist on a $170 backpack. First, what I like: The leather actually seems nice. It is the thick sturdy kind of leather and it appears to be stitched together well - hopefully this impression is correct and time wont prove me wrong. The zippers also seem sturdy and well attached. Appearance-wise, I love it. Not much to say here, you see the product photos. The flaws: Notice the U-shaped metal fixtures on the external pockets, through which the leather straps slide? Theyre not metal, they are plastic. But thats not a huge problem, fake metal is the norm these days. The big problem is that they come loose. They are screwed on, and the head of the screw is sandwiched between the leather and a layer of cloth, making it incredibly difficult to screw back in to the plastic fixture. The manufacturer could have picked better buckles for the shoulder straps too. They come loose throughout the day; the left one faster than the right one. I find myself constantly re-tightening them. I have some small gripes with certain aspects of the design itself, but those are more a matter of personal preference so I wont list them as flaws. 3 stars really seems too generous right now, but two seems a little harsh. Ill leave it at 3 for now, hopefully nothing else will come apart for a while.

I have had this bag for one and a half years and purposely waited to write this review. I wanted to see how this bag would hold up over time. I stuff this bag with so much on a daily basis...numerous books and other things that make it very heavy. This bag has held up beautifully!! No problems at all...and the leather itself has worn so nicely. So after a year and a half, I give this backpack a top rating!

Best backpack I have ever owned - All cowhide leather and stitched to last, the zippers are quality and is overall very well made. The price is up there but when you get in in your hands and seen how well it is made and the thought that went into it, you will agree it was designed by backpackers. Side note - you will have to reshape it a bit as it will be a little flat from shipping; just pack some paper inside and set it in the sun for a while and it will fill out again. So many people like this pack that I now have it on my shopping list for Christmas.

Ive had this bag for about a week now, and I absolutely love it. Wish I had ordered it sooner! Its very functional and looks quite classy/sophisticated. I really like how anything can be compartmentalized and easily accessed. As far as the cons that others mentioned: it didnt smell too bad when I first received it, and the external pockets can be opened and closed quickly and without an issue (so far). Overall, I recommend anyone who is hesitant to give this bag a chance. It also comes with a 1-year warranty!

Multiple pockets great

Ive had the Backpack for the last three weeks. I use it every day for work. I love this bag, it looks great, its big enough to hold my computers a 15.4 inch Apple Laptop Computer, accessories, paperwork, and other office essentials but its not too big that its difficult to carry or bulky. The interior of the Backpack has two dividers I use one for my laptop computer and the other for my iPad. Plenty of room for my daily planner and other paperwork I need to carry. The outside pockets are great, I store my power supply, pens , note cards, etc. You can use it as a Backpack or as a carrying bag. The leather is thick and robust. The Zippers are smooth; I like the leather cover for the zipper. The shoulder straps adjustments are working great. The side pockets are great for computer cables and accessories. I like the closures in the outer pockets. So far it looks and works fantastic.

At first I was skeptical about ordering this bag. I travel a lot for work and have worked my way through many bags in the last year. Ony last trip to Europe my other bag started tearing. So I ordered this bag to be there when I got home. I cant say enough good things about it. This is made from top quality leather. It is thick and robust. The pockets and zippers are of sturdy quality. I knew when I opened the box that this bag was worth the price. It can be used as a backpack or carried by the top handle, the back pack makes it nice when you have two suit cases and a laptop bag running through the airport. I highly recommend this bag. I am not getting ready to take it to the Philippines. It has pockets for everything I need as well. On the front and inside. It is definitely a bag made for the traveling business men.

This bag is great. Ive had it for about 8 moths now and it looks as good as when I bought it. I do a lot of traveling and I literally was asked about it on my last flight. First a great compliment and they kept going on so I mentioned I bought it from Amazon on a lightening deal. They were amazed. The bag can hold a lot of items but one thing to note is there isnt any flexibility with it and it is a bit heavier than a normal computer bag. However, those are all over ridden by its style and what it can do. Very happy with the purchase and am amazed at the quality for the price.

I dont normally leave reviews for items that I buy online, but I bought this bag four years ago when I first started college and it has held up beautifully for me despite all the abuse Ive put it through. No issues so far and the only care that Ive given the bag is conditioning it about once a year. I highly recommend this bag for anyone looking for a bag that will last them for at least the next several years!

I bought this bag hoping for durability, and it did not disappoint, except for one fatal design flaw, the straps started fraying after a little less than a year. I contacted Polare, they stood by their product and immediately provided me with a replacement. The ones they are selling now seem to have fixed the issue with the straps (changed placement, reinforcement, and added riveting), seems like its ready to stand the test of time now. They also seem to have upgraded the material used for pockets on the inside of the bag (I had no issues with the original material but its nice to see theyre always working on perfecting their products) The bag could be a little bit bigger for my travel needs but I wouldnt ding it in the overall rating for that, and I get A LOT of compliments on it, so its worth it haha Ill update with any further developments but Im very happy with the bag as its currently manufactured and would recommend Polare as a company! (First three pics are the new bag, last 2 are the old one)
