I have the same doubt. I want to buy a backpack but I am between Briggs & Riley and Saddleback Leather. I think GORUCK style would not match my style and I could not find RedOxx nor Osprey packs that had many divisions and were able to be used as a personal item when traveling by plane. What do you think about it?

Hmm, I checked out these brands and they all look vastly different from one another. Personally, I'm after a vintage style leather backpack, and the closest I found is Saddleback (but the prices is way too much for me right now).

Honestly I'm trying to figure out whether this $200-300 budget is even realistic for a good leather backpack.

So, what I think is really good about Saddleback is their warranty. If you have a issue 30 years from now, they would solve it without any problem. I have never found a leather backpack with this warranty

Yes it's really nice! Though I'm guessing that this luxury is included in the price this way or another.

Of course
