Bought a second one to give to my brother

I love the functionality and old school design of this rucksack. I took it to Europe last month as my airline carry on and it was great to just shoulder it and head out to explore the cities and countryside. The waxed cotton stands up to hard rain and the simple fastener hooks are brilliant. My brother is an avid hiker and skier and he needs a pack that can stand up to daily hard use, so I sent him one of these rucksacks as a birthday present. He can't wait to take it into the back country!

Himalayan Tested and Proven

I recently took this back to the Himalayas and found it to be everything I needed and more. Ample space, quick and easy access and rugged enough to not have to worry about rips and tears. Albeit a technical pack for skiing, I found it to be more than enough for trekking, camping, etc. I would love for a Snowboarding version of this pack to be made in the future.

High Quality!

Great backpack, my only request would be to offer one with black material instead of leather, although the leather is good too. Looking at the Anorak next!

Favorite all purpose pack

This is my favorite pack. It is so versatile. it is technical for days in the mountains or backcountry, but so stylishly designed that I love to take it on my travels as my carry on.

Great bag for someone who wants quality

No it’s not a cheap bag, all the materials are quality and sturdy feeling. I couldn’t find another bag with similar styling and I love the way it looks! For utility it has all the space and pockets I could want!
