- IDEAL HIKING, TRAVEL, SCHOOL BACKPACK – The Simple Canvas Backpack is made from the toughest waxed canvas in the world. A large interior has 3 inner packs to organize items, and cinches tight with a drawstring closure. The top flap keeps items dry. It easily holds a camera, 15″ laptop, books, clothes, and toiletries for an overnight trip. Thick, old bull leather on the back and bottom creates a comfortable and supportive barrier from interior items. Great for College, Men, Women, and Military!
- THE BEST CANVAS AND LEATHER BAGS – When we set out to make the world’s premier waxed canvas bags, we enlisted our Saddleback philosophy of using not only the highest quality materials, but also emphasizing industry leading standards in design quality. We use super-tough, 24oz. Scottish waxed canvas, and Marine-Grade Stainless Steel 316 hardware. Stress points are copper riveted, fortified with full-grain, vegetable tanned leather, and stitched with UV resistant, multi-filament polyester thread.
- 24 OUNCE SCOTTISH WAXED CANVAS – Waxed canvas is the original water resistant fabric, and has been used for centuries for its waterproofing qualities. It’s the perfect material for a life-long bag. Full-grain vegetable tanned leather straps and plating add strength and structure, further armoring this bag. Full grain is the top layer of the cowhide, which is the most expensive and durable part, and much higher quality than genuine leather. When you want the best leather, always go full-grain.
- HIGHEST QUALITY MATERIALS – Our green, waxed canvas and leather bags sure look pretty but they’re as tough as it gets. The Simple Canvas Backpack is stitched with marine-grade polyester thread, the same threading used on parachutes. We use sturdy copper rivets that are pounded by hand and surgical-grade Stainless Steel 316 hardware, tested to hold up to 750 lbs. Built with as few pieces of canvas possible to minimize seams, we reinforce all stress points with extra thick old bull leather.
- 100 YEAR WARRANTY – We are so confident in the quality of our Mountainback designs, we back them with a 100-Year Warranty. Our company motto is “They’ll Fight Over It When You’re Dead”. And they will probably fight while you’re still alive. When you pass this on, they’ll be taken care of under our warranty too.
THE SADDLEBACK LEATHER SIMPLE CANVAS BACKPACK
Built with uncommonly thick 24 oz. waxed canvas from Scotland, (it’s extremely rugged and water resistant) the Simple Canvas Backpack is a dependable workhorse, built for constant abuse. A simple design: this pack is over-engineered with high quality materials for when your life depends on it; (Can be shredded and wrapped to make a torch.) Three interior pockets keep you organized. You can easily fits a 15″ Macbook Computer, or Notepad Holder with room to spare. We took inspiration on our closures from an old WWII grenade pouch, which gives quick one-handed access into your bag while still keeping items secure. The leather drawstring reinforces the lip around the top edge, keeping your stuff secure and the opening rigid, for easy (un)packing. The main flap keeps your items dry from rain. Carry using the top leather handle, or by the 34″ Old Bull leather shoulder straps, which are fully adjustable and contoured for a comfortable fit. Coffee brown, Old Bull leather plating lines the back and bottom of the pack, for comfort and protection from inside contents; pad plating doubles as an exterior pocket and allows for items such as a tripod or ax. Leather tabs are sewn on the sides of the pack for hanging extra gear.
