Know before you buy
While the backpack is crafted from durable full-grain goat leather and features robust brass hardware, it is designed as a versatile lifestyle bag. It is excellent for light hiking and daily commutes, but may not offer the same weatherproofing or ergonomic support as specialized synthetic technical gear.
The 16-inch version is ideal for daily essentials and light travel, while the 20 and 22-inch options provide significantly more volume for longer trips or carrying larger gear. Consider your height and the amount of equipment you typically carry when selecting your size.
Full-grain goat leather is naturally durable, but it benefits from occasional conditioning to keep it supple. We recommend using a high-quality leather cream every few months to maintain its finish and protect it from drying out.
Yes, the backpack features padded shoulder straps that are fully adjustable to ensure a comfortable fit. The padding helps distribute weight evenly, making it easier to carry your items for extended periods.
The bag utilizes a combination of zippers and buckles to keep your belongings secure. The pure brass hardware is designed for longevity and provides a reliable, tactile closure that keeps the main compartment and external pockets firmly shut.
Yes, as a natural material, full-grain goat leather will develop a unique patina with regular use. This process enhances the character of the bag, making your specific piece look better and more personalized the longer you own it.
