Katmai Leather Backpack
Katmai Leather Backpack
OVERVIEW -
Our take: A backpack for work or wild, men or women. This pack was designed for an all purpose EDC, with a classic, timeless top-grain cowhide that only gets better with age.
Exterior +
Top-Grain cowhide. 3 zippered compartments. Side pockets. Carrying handle.
Padded rear zippered compartment on back of bag + luggage strap. Adjustable backpack straps.
Dimensions: 16" H x 12" W x 5" D || 16L Carrying Capacity
Please note: As it is made of a natural material, each bag varies slightly in texture and color.
Interior+
Padded laptop compartment on back wall. Large, Medium and Small zippered pockets on front. Large zippered compartment on back. Large and small pockets include card, phone and pen pockets. Additional interior zippered pocket in main compartment for added security.
Black nylon interior.

I am disappointed with this bag. I expected more.
First some positives. There are a good number of pockets and pockets within pockets to stash all your different items. But more internal zipper pockets is always better.
I also appreciated the external water bottle pocket (it just barely fits my 19oz Owala any bigger would be an issue).
And the leather is nice.
The bad:
The extra straps are way too long. Yes, I saw that other reviews said this too but I thought that a.) They would have solved that by now and b.) Being 6'2" it wouldnt be a problem for me. The internal paper slot in the main compatment is so tight it crumples papers when you put them in it or take them out. The point where the straps come out of the bag are too close together. This causes a stress point in the strap on the inside seam as the strap pulls from the bag to go around the shoulders. It seems like it will be an early failure point and is already showing signes of a gap forming there. Lastely, the structure of the back was crumpled in shipping or storage, so there are weird creases in it making it look caved in (like a hat that's been crushed). It's a so close to an awesome bag, but not quite there yet.

This is PERFECT! I love the color, it’s got all the pockets I need to pack around my stuff for work. Pens, my keyboard, credit/debit cards, my business cards my batter pack, all of it.
Gave this to a colleague as a gift and they absolutely love it.
Baby shower gift. The couple was really excited with the looks and quality of the gift.
