Looks like a deflated ballon. Wish they had structured hats with those smaller crowns

Nice review- real simple and straight to the point, I like it! About the hats, I’m thinking of buying the Coronado model because I found some stragglers out there from other retailers; lucky me! Question, what size did you get and what’s your normal hat size for fitted caps? Also, how’s it holding up and any follow up thoughts? Thanks for the info in advance!

The lack of structure isn’t to my liking, but everyone is different…

seeing the product, it is definitely a step away from using leathers and brass, which allows for the price point to be significantly lower than any other bag option from NSac. i look forward to see eventually more features in upcoming work products. cheers for being the only video so far!

Great Review. Thank You for taking the time to make this video.

I notice this video is 9 years old… how is it now?

Can I use heater afterwards or just a simple vacuum in the insides of the boot? same to bags?

It doesnt darken the leather color?

Well, the boots look like that had no proper use. The sole is almost new and the upper looks great without cleaning. The video would be a lot more useful if you had your boots real dirty

Is the chamberlain product all natural? I heard if the conditioning product has a lot of chemicals it can ruin the leather after a while.

Still prefer my eastpak in the real world. Light and durable. I do like the sb look and feel, but just dont care for the weight and bulkyness.

whats with the canera movements??

would you sell either to me?

I want one so bad but it's so hard to justify the price of a backpack. I know I'll feel awesome removing my laptop from it and sending it through the scanner. And, you know that guy KZbins these bags too and recognizes yours.

I have the TANK for four years now. Must be one of the lucky ones who doesn't have a problem with the dreaded seam at the lower back. The seam falls exactly on my belt line, and sits directly onto the belt. I use a pretty wide belt (1.75") so I think that helped. That said, there is an aftermarket padding, also made of leather and color-matched, that is specifically made for the Tank.

HOW MUCH ^^

This was great way to see the differences. I love my Tank but see how the backpack would be the more comfortable. Maybe it's the next upgrade for me.

Price?

I don't think Dave Munson from Saddleback would be too happy with this.

Hi TJ, great review. I have been an admirer of Saddleback leather for quite a while. I am going to hike the El Camino De Santiago trail (500 miles) next June. I am wondering if this type of pack would be comfortable enough, to take on the trail. I realize, that this backpack is not your normal hiking pack. However, I think it would be nice to take along. What is your opinion on the subject? Would this pack be suitable? Or am I better off with one of the high tech (and half the weight) packs? I can handle the extra 4 lbs. I'm just wondering about comfort. Thank you

Thanks so much for the video, this was the EXACT comparison I was looking for

TJ, thank you so much for doing these reviews! I'm looking at upgrading my every-day bag to a Saddleback. I've been carrying a Samsonite laptop backpack for a few years and really like it, but I've noticed a good deal of fraying of seems and, now that I'm working in finance, want something that conveys a different message when I sit down with folks. I really like carrying a backpack, but I am curious about the Saddleback briefcases - do you have any opinions? Also, in your experience, what was the max size laptop you could safely carry in the Square? I have a 15" macbook pro and want to be sure that it can fit in the bag.

Using the Square for multiple day Hiking and weighed down is going to be comfortable? (in your opinion?)

okay what the hell is with the video flying all over the place?

This makes me miss the old tobacco color.

I would like to see a comparison of the saddleback simple backpack and the square backpack. Thanks. very helpful overall

Just a first impression from what I see. The older version looks much better then the tobacco version. The leather of the front pocket (on the left) seems much weaker than the chestnut version. If I would choose one it would be the chestnut version because it still looks awesome where as the tobacco looks a bit too tattered for me. (I get it that leather wears and adds character, but for me it comes down to the 'weaker' look) I'm a leather newb, so I could be wrong ;) Nice review.

I own a carbon black tank...the ridge on the back of it that rubs on your lower back is very uncomfortable. However, I took a plain, thin, white t-shirt and folded it a couple times and stuffed it in the back pocket at the bottom. I car barely tell the t-shirt is there and I cant get that ridge to touch my back in any way shape or form. To give you an idea of how well the t-shirt fix works, I am paranoid about taking the shirt out for fear I could not get it to work the way it currently does. I love my tank backpack :D

Hi TJ, I have the Squared Backpack in chestnut and absolutely love it. It's my daily carry bag. Some people bellyache that its too heavy but I think this is the trade off of having a bag that is much more durable and manly than so called "European" styles--think Seinfeld. I for one, although a proper metrosexual male, do not take pride in my effeminate stylings, so I appreciate this masculine, functional, and fashionable accessory. On a final thought concerning its weight, I posit that this issue is easily forgotten to the fact that once this bag is broken in--quickly I might add--it feels very comfortable. The organic material of leather seems to hug my back. Also, in reference to the straps at the top opening of your bag, I suggest you simply remove them as I have done with my bag. I have no issue with the bag having a lean to it as it sits and in time your bag may gravitate back to center if you remove that strap. Instead, I loop the strap around a corner D-ring and use it as a key holder with a carabiner style clip. Thanks for the review and keep em' coming!

I have the Squared Backpack in Chestnut, beautiful backpack, great size, flexible enough to keep stuffing it, very comfortable and just an awesome bag. I recommend this bag for outdoors, office and even diaper duty use. Its a fantastic bag.

Awesome. Yeah, I have the older version. It definitely is a tank but it's so hard to fit much in it. It seems like mine not only has a smaller capacity but because it's so rigid, it limits what you can put in there even more. It's kind of like having a box on your back. Great quality but it seems it can't carry any more than my classic medium briefcase from Saddleback leather. I'm playing with the idea of upgrading but am also thinking about the front pocket backpack.

This is great. One of threads broke too on the front clasp after < 5 months use. Im going to use this technique to neaten the frayed edges.

Hi thanks for the review. I'm glad that you are showing the new tobacco color that has an aged patina look to it. I wanted to search for Saddleback items with this color since I am considering buying future items in this color option--maybe the dry bag or water bag next. By the way, what are your feelings on the tobacco color? It looks beautiful but I noticed that on the undersides of the shoulder straps there is a darker coloration which is a bit of a deterrent on me choosing this color for future items. Just to let you know, I have the squared backpack in chestnut and absolutely love it. Concerning the "crookedness," I don't use the closure strap at all (I attach it to one of the D-rings in the corner and use it as a key holder with a carabiner). AND I keep my 13 inch macbook in the front pocket at all times. This may have helped keep it square. Thanks for the review.

Man, both of those look HUGE in the first shot. Nice review.

Hey Justin, the weight is pretty much what you would expect. I am a 6' 150lb male and I have no problems with it. It's heavier than your average Jansport, yes, but that is to be expected. It does not seem unduly heavy at 8.5 lbs. I routinely pack it full at 30+ lbs and it is still comfortable.

I have the their original backpack. Do you think the improvements are worth upgrading? the main thing that I don't like about mine is that it's so rigid, it limits what I can carry. I keep thinking I just need to break it in more but I think that'll take years before that will happen if at all. I like rigidness for durability to some extent since more flexible leather backpacks seem like they'd wear out due to being thin. This might strike the right balance but I'm wondering if the improvements justify the cost of buying a new one versus considering buying another one of their products that I might need such as the waterbag or duffle bag.

How is it for weight?

Great vids, you sold me on it. I will order one before I start back to college in the spring..

Great video! Did you know the frame on the video keeps moving around thought. Makes it hard to watch!

It's the image stabilization on KZbin. The next video won't have it.

WHY IS EVERYTHING MORPHING SHAPE?! But seriously, nice video. Thanks for the review and info. I just got the satchel in the new tobacco color and new leather, and it's much darker than your backpack and MUCH darker than the photos on SBL's website.
