This product was purchased as gifts for the groomsmen in my son's wedding, please don't post until after the 16th of Oct, it's a suprise. Everybody at one time or another needs an article that will last and bring back memories. This rutsack will do that and more, it has many options that everyone will be able to use at one time or another. My wish and hope is that they will be handed down in the future.
I purchased this for use at the university for my school books and supplies. It has all the compartments that I need. It has a place for water bottles, keys, and my wallet. No need to carry my purse with me. It may be a little heavier than most for use as a book bag but it will last forever and doesn't look like a book bag when i'm out of school. I also like the fact that its made of heavyweight cotton and leather.
I haven't had the pack for very long, however, it seems to be holding up very well. I attend Michigan State University and I carry a very heavy load of books. The pack carries my books with ease and comfort along with extra room for pens, pencils, calculators, etc. I am yet to take it out in the field (I am an avid hiker and fisherman) however, it seems like the pack would hold up very well. The pack also gets a lot of great compliments! I would 100% recommend this to a friend.
