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

I 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.

This is one of the best backpacks Ive bought over the last couple of years. I was concerned that the pockets would be hard top access, given their stacked appearance. Such is not the case. The leather fits securely into the plastic loops, so no fears of them opening, plus there is velcro beneath the flap for additional closure. The leather itself is tough and durable, not flimsy or fake. The top handle feels perfect, and the straps hold everything nicely. Its well made, and Im confident Im going to be using it for many years. Thanks for a quality product.

I was looking for a good quality leather backpack / laptop / travel bag to replace all the high school style backpacks. I wanted something with an older, and more rustic and rugged feel to it. This bag is just what I was looking for. Its a very manly bag in my opinion, something Indiana Jones would be proud to take on an expedition. There is plenty of room in the main compartment and it has two dedicated pockets to hold a standard size laptop, and a tablet. Plenty of additional room for a portfolio, headphones, chargers, or an set of clothing. The individual pockets on the outside are functional and can hold a variety of things, chargers, sunglasses in a case, or anything else you can fit in there. Its very sturdy leather and a little stiff though I expect it will loosen and age quite well with time. The handle on top is very sturdy and could certainly hold up under a full load. It looks and feels great carrying it at your side or wearing it on your back. My only complaint is the lack of padding on the shoulder straps. Overall its a great bag, at a good price, and was exactly what I was looking for. Im looking forward to donating my other backpacks to Goodwill.

This backpack has really led me to understand the value in quality workmanship. Its really well made and it looks super sharp. I am very pleased with this purchase and could not be happier. The leather is pliable enough so that you can get odd shaped items into the pockets without fear of rupturing the zippers or straps. The leather look works in a commercial business setting, whereas a typical backpack would look too informal. Regardless of your age this bag is impressive and your kids will be asking to borrow it. Im close to 50 years old and my high school daughter and grade school son both have asked for their own to take to school to show off. I recently took the backpack to a conference and had several people stop me and ask where I found it. It was refreshing to look at all the other backpacks on peoples shoulders and know I had the best looking one.

This leather backpack met all my expectations. It easily accommodates a MacBook Pro and lots of other things in its many pockets. I used this bag the first time as an overnight travel bag and found plenty of room for magazines, a newspaper, a shaving bag, and clothing. The velcro closures on the outside pocket are a welcome addition. I used one of them for my MacBook Pro charging cord and iPhone charging cord. The adjustable back straps are easy to adjust and comfortable for carrying the bag. Additionally, there is a convenient lift and carrying handle on top making it easy to move when fully loaded or if you choose not to carry it on your back. Prior to using the bag, I applied Lexol leather cleaner to protect the leather as I have to all my leather products for many years. A hook inside the bag or one of its pockets to hold a key ring would be a useful addition. Overall, this bag is a very good value for its cost.

I purchased this in the summer of 16 and loved it at first. Beautiful smell, the leather is very strong, and overall it looks very well made. Unfortunately after about 6 months one of the main straps had started slipping and at 18 months I have to be careful putting it on from that side. Additionally, the main zipper has come loose from one of the sides and split in two so I can no longer zip it up from that side. Very Annoying. I have used the backpack daily to and from the office with a 17” laptop, but it wasn’t exposed to anything more strenuous. Polare was very friendly when contacted concerning the issues and even though it was a bit outside the warranty period, they offered to replace it, if I paid S&H to China. That would have been pretty expensive on its own so instead we were able to work out an agreement for a sizeable discount on a new replacement backpack (new design addressing both these issues). We both recognized that sometimes, no matter how high the level of quality intended, undesired things can happen. Their attention to Quality and Customer Service has shown me that Polare is a company that stands and supports their products fully. As such, I can highly recommend this company and this bag.

So 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.

I want to thank the people at Polar for building this back pack and the other briefcase I purchased 2 weeks ago.I couldnt believe the quality of the first carry case when I seen this one I had to have it the quality is outstanding off the charts.I have had bags along time ago I paid 750 dollars and it did not last at all.these 2 I just purchased look better feel better just the fit and finish is great. I wish I could give polar 100 stars wait I just did.trust me people this is a no brainer at all.pull the trigger on this one you will not be sorry.or pay for something else 5 x the price and kick yourself when it falls apart.Polare is number one for quality workmanship the leather the detail is fantastic and the price I still cant believe what a great deal this is. thank you polare for think of peop,e who are not millionaires but demand quality and you give your all for a fantastic price again thank you Polare for such a fantastic product.

I was very impressed with the Polare Cowhide laptop backpack. It actually looks exactly like the picture online! I purchased it to carry my business equipment back and forth from my office on my motorcycles. Yes, I have 2 bikes. It is perfect for the task. Personally, I have 2 other satchels made from high quality cowhide and the Polare laptop backpack is ever as good as the others I own. The stitching is quality and uniform. The hide is even and beautifully tanned. The pack has plenty of cargo space and fits a 17 inch Macbook pro, an iPad 3 with keyboard as well as files and office supplies. The straps are sturdy and supportive; the inside is padded and protective. I would recommend this product for use as laptop backpack because it is quality and beautiful. AND it smells amazing... :-)

The bag is great value for price. Be ready for loads of complements!
