> 24 hourSUCH an incredible bag. Blows my mind every time I use it that I got this for such a low price. Good: INCREDIBLE leather. Really thick and super soft. Highest quality material. Normally leather this nice is much, much more expensive. Love all the pockets. Even has a place for the hard drive. It looks exactly like the pictures. I get so many compliments everytime I use it. Bad: The bag hangs on your shoulders a bit. Not much weight is distributed to your back so your shoulders take all the weight. The zipper gets a little stuck every now and again but this is a very minor issue. Love love love this bag.

> 24 hourIve had this bag about a month and have really enjoyed it. This is a replacement for a messenger bag and it is definitely an upgrade! I like that it has a lot of pockets that I can separate out things into compared to a lot of backpacks that just have a few large pockets that you lump things into. Chargers in one pocket, headphones in another, office supplies, medicine, everything has a place. I have a Dell laptop that is 13 x 9 and it fits easily into the laptop pocket. There is a smaller interior divider that my Kindle Fire goes into. A small pocket for my mouse and another pocket for a cell phone. I have a regular sized office portfolio notebook for papers and a legal pad. It all fits easily. The side pouches fit a 16oz bottle of water which is also handy. In a perfect world, the leather would be a bit darker, but the leather looks nice and evenly tan. I did treat the leather with a waterproof sealer since I carry the bag on my motorcycle. This did darken it slightly and it will darken with use, so it is a minor thing. I was surprised at how much I like the pocket closure flaps! They are velcro underneath the flap. The stay secure, but open easily in a second. Lots of compliments on the bag at work!

> 24 hourAfter reading the other reviews I knew exactly what to expect and got the product that I paid for. I think the backpack is beautiful. It is made of a very durable leather and has many pockets both inside and out. My only complaint would be that I wish it was a bit larger. It is a very handsome bag and my first time using the backpack a stranger asked me the maker of the bag and where I got it from. Thats the best compliment one can ask for.

> 24 hourI dont ordinarily do reviews, but this warrants a good one. I originally received one of these as a Birthday present and love it. It is one of the first satchels that can actually carry my oversize personal laptop and a tablet or small second laptop comfortably as well as having a cavernous central cavity for my stuff. it is also more rain resistant than most other bags I have tried because of the flap over the zipper. I also love the assortment of pockets (although the closure mechanism is a little slow to work with one hand). In summary it is great. In fact it is so great I bought a second one for my son. In his words, it is one sexy bag.

> 24 hourNice backpack, fits my laptop and other gear in very nicely. I use it as my motorcycle pack, and its really nice. Also gets compliments from folks. The straps tend to loosen a bit while wearing it and walking around, but its manageable. They straps could also be a bit more comfortable, but overall its a very quality product. The leather is nice and its well constructed.

> 24 hourThis bag is absolutely wonderful! The leather is gorgeous and the color is exactly as it appears in the pictures. The bag is extremely well built and durable. I am especially impressed with how well the straps are made. Its so easy to adjust the tension on them even while walking. I use this bag for traveling and the pockets on the front are very handy for stowing items I need easy access to while in transit like my phone, charger and sun glasses. The wonderful smell of the leather makes me smile everytime I wear it. I use this both for when I am out hiking with my dog, and also when I travel for business and it works equally well for both.

> 24 hourI purchased this back pack a few months ago and have taken it 3 trips. It looks great and made of premium leather. I experienced one issue as the snap on the side pocket fell off. I contacted Polare and they immediately sent me replacements parts. As one reviewer previously stated there is a layer of cloth between the snap and the leather so replacement can be a little tricky. Overall a great bag, built with tough, rugged leather and is quite functional for laptops, phones, passports, clothes...etc.

> 24 hourTop quality product, good for search and rescue, fishing, hiking, backpacking, school and first aid. Very comfortable to wear. Has a nice older type of look but yet modern enough for when your stepping onto your private LearJet.

> 24 hourI rarely take the time to provide input on products but for this one I feel it warrants it. I bought this back in January 2018 and have been extremely satisfied. I travel fairly often and this has become my go to bag not only for my daily commute briefcase, but also for overnight short stay trips and long trips as carry on. The pockets are many and the bag itself is extremely durable leather. I continually get compliments on the look and functionality. My only complaint was one of the top zipper pulls came off shortly after I bought it but luckily there are two pulls. Once I got used to a single pull Ive not missed the broken one. Other than that I would highly recommend.

> 24 hourSo overall Im stuck trying to decide if this warrants a 3 or 4 star review... Ill say its a 4 if you dont plan to use it for a laptop, and its a 3 if you do. So first with the good: + Its beautiful, granted there are some obvious patch spots they tried to cover up but the leather feels thick and the style is superb. A perfect blend between professional and utilitarian. + The pouches are great for holding external battery chargers, digital cameras, flashlights, smaller cell phones. + Internal room feels a little cramped at first but you can stretch it out to accommodate a fair number of books/objects. + Can wear on your back comfortably or grip the handle. This isnt exactly 100% positive since the straps just flap about when youre using the handle, and the straps meet too close together at the top when using as a backpack (durability concern) but just having the option is nice. So whats the problem?: - They advertise that it can hold a 17 laptop... but there is virtually NO padding built into this. So not only do you need to be careful about suddenly setting this down, but if anything (and I mean anything) is inserted into the laptop pouch or the back zipper pouch (about the size for tablets and such) it will dig into your back. So consider a padded laptop sleeve for peace of mind and comfort. - Not enough clearance about the bottom pouches, its very hard to lift the folded leather high enough to slip solid objects into without using some force. Gets annoying when retrieving or putting things away, but not as much of an issue as the lack of padding. Would I get it again? Id honestly find something that has more padding in it if its advertised for a laptop. For now since I already have a padded case for my surface pro Im going to stick with this since the style is just so nice, but make your own judgement call on this one.
