1. The material is quite essential when it comes to backpacks so you have to choose the best leather available. Look for thickness and read about the treating methods that were used.
2. The color is more important than you may think. While the right color will provide a classy aspect, it will also ensure that your backpack will look great over the years.
3. Look for the right size for your needs. There is no need for a large backpack if you don�t usually carry around lots of things.
4. Choose the right loading type. Depending on the things you carry often, choose between top loading, panel loading or a hybrid between these two.
5. Be careful with features that may seem minor, but are of great importance. Zippers, pockets and shoulder straps should be easy to use and durable.

Not so great things about leather backpacks

Wed, 21 Jan 2009 10:30:00 -0500

Years ago, most backpacks were made out of leather because there was no polyester or other modern materials that are currently used in manufacturing these objects. And, although leather backpacks were practical, durable and classy, there were some major disadvantages that made them almost obsolete in our days for the ones that are interested in outdoor activities.
The most important enemy of any leather backpack is water. Even if the material is treated with all sort of substances, leather still has a tendency of shrinking when it comes in contact to water. Besides shrinking, leather becomes heavier and will make you feel uncomfortable and cold. However, these are not the biggest problems, because leather does not seem to have the ability of keeping water away from the things you carry in your backpack. So just imagine how you would feel being caught by a heavy rain in the mountain, with all your clothes soaking wet. You will have a shock seeing that the clothes from the backpack are also cold and wet. Then, there is the price. Leather backpacks will always look cool, but think of the price you have to pay for this. We strongly recommend you to use leather backpacks only in urban activities because they will be highly appreciated because of the classy looks and won�t create you any discomfort.
