It's become my daily use backpack, I take it with me all the time and it's very good for grocery runs. I also took it on a trip to Germany and am planning on taking it to my next work trip as well.

Care Routine
Patina Process
Durability
Color Change

It has darkened up considerably from almost snow white to a nice caramel color. I have conditioned it once, which also darkened it considerably. It is quite thick and rugged and stiff and still squeaks a bit with movement at times. I love this thing.

Stitching

The design is good! I can tell some of the stitches are machine stitched which makes sense with the price I got it for and it's quite well made. If there's one thing I would change, I would probably want some kind of flap or something on top. I got caught in the rain without an umbrella once and my stuff got a bit wet. Otherwise it's basically perfect.

Final thoughts

Would Recommend
Good Value

This is a great backpack especially for the price I paid, I anticipate it will last for a very long time.
