Backpack is just as shown in photos. Leather is very nice. Despite some reviews I saw, bag does not have an odor. I got it to use on a trip which I leave for in 2 days. Seems durable and just right for my trip.

lets start out by saying the package arrived on time. Their is a bag inside of the shipping box that the backpack was wraped in. Used to keep the elements out , and the wear and tear of the mailing system. This is a Christmas present for my wife. Not so sure about this now. I might have to put it under The tree with my name on it. First thing you will notice is the scent of leather, in a good way. Ordered the dark brown color, and its very nice, as shown in this picture. Nice rolled edges. Stitching is right on. Draw leather cord used to close the bag topside. The main cover and the front pocket have a roller buckle in brass The two side pockets are a magnetic type which seems to lock just fine and are of matching color ,brass . On the right side there is a small D ring , it will hold a clip for your watch,keys,coffee cup but not all three. On the back there is a grab handle , this is a nice convenients. Shoulder straps are wide up top. The shoulder straps are attached and run through two more brass buckles on each side at the bottom of the bag. These two buckles on either side are also gustted in at the right angle to carry on your back comfortably Well thought out in my option. Inside the bag is an added zippered bag for keys, wallet and such to quickly get at. I have done a lot of searching to find this pack. I new when I saw it , quality jumped right off the page. Im a picky guy and enjoy my things. I like quality. I dont mind paying for quality. The size is right on as stated. The more you use this , the more it will break in if you will. I guess the only thing that bugs me is the small D ring, maybe you could change this for future sales. Other than that , I give it full marks.

This is what I was looking for! Smells like leather how its suposed to! Looks great!

It just came today so cant comment on durability. However, it is beautiful and looks, feels and smells like real leather. It is heavy and seems well made (we shall see how the stitching holds up-hopefully well). I ordered light brown and applied a generous coat of leather oil to it (which darkened the color), next is water sealant after 24 hrs. It is a large bag, the shoulder straps are nice and thick (and adjustable) and the side pockets are wide wnough to fit a water bottle. Beautiful bag.

This haversack is the nicest pack you could ever imagine. The leather use is top of the line. Thick yet pliable. It has that great aroma of a harness shop. I weight 230 and the adjustable straps accommodate me comfortably. I still have room to adjust them. The stitching looks very solid. Compared to anything else Ive seen out there this pack rocks.

Great pull up on leather

Smells good, and seems to be good quality.

Exactly what I wanted, very good quality!! The dark brown is very sophisticated for casual wear or traveling. Lots of space and smells like new leather. Comfortable on my shoulders and matches with everything.

Side pocket ripped after six months. Contacted Amazon and they said to send a message to Polare. No reply from them so they have terrible customer service. You would expect a bag that is supposed to be high quality to last longer than this. The actual leather ripped so it wasn’t at the seam. Not even sure how it happened and never overloaded it just noticed it starting to tear and before you know it ripped down the entire side.

My favorite bag
