Gootium Canvas Backpack - Vintage Outdoor Rucksack Travel Day Pack

So happy I went for it. Wasn't familiar with this brand but they seem legit now. So just opened the package and and the first thing that strikes me is the high quality, of stitching and materials. The pockets are great, there is also a separate large compartment inside which is perfect for my 13 inch laptop (an A4 notebook will also fit perfectly here) and a zip up pocket with lots of space also. Storage capacity overall is great, even more spacious than I expected! Functionality seems great, with button clasps so you don't have to mess about with the buckles, which is also one of the reasons I got this one. The canvas looks durable and like it will last for years. Overall, really happy with this purchase, highly recommended.

This bag is brilliant, hard wearing and washable. I used it to travel abroad, I didn’t need extra baggage it held everything I needed for ten days and being good quality canvas it takes a lot of abuse with tearing or breaking straps. At home I use it everyday for carrying the essentials and extras I need for work and life.

This is a good strong hard wearing item. Looks great too. Nearly £40 all in, but well worth it. Top quality merch. Gootium is a brand I like and trust. Plenty of room. Stylish and tough. Just what I wanted. Thanks 👍

Iv been using this bag for a few years now. The main body of the bag is perfectly fine and very spacious. I feel comferable and confident in its durabulity and water resistance. and the straps are very comfertable and easily ajustable. Its a great quality bag and its stylish though I must confess even to this day I feel uneasy about the fastenings, particularly on the front pocket as this pocket hands down slightly, increasing the risk something will fall out. That said, the only time to date something has fallen out is when the bag has been on its side in a car with me. I would recommend this bag, but I would caution against using the front pocket or suggest adding additional fastenings to it for extra security! Great bag all around though and still using it to this day! :)

I've never written a review before but felt compelled to with this bag. So many products these days are designed to be cheap and throwaway. It's hard to things that are built to last. This bag is so good. If you're on the fence, just get it, you can't go wrong. I've used mine for work daily as a truck driver for maybe 2 years or longer. It's been abused, thrown in an out of trucks, stuffed full (it fits in an incredible amount, ive been away for a week with just this bag before), with sharp and heavy tools, trowels and hammers in it, been in the washing machine twice, and it's not showing any sign of wear at all. The stitching is strong and still like day one, the straps are rock solid. The draw string used to close it is far better than a zip as it allows you to stuff the bag much more and it won't break. Absolutely fantastic rucksack. Too the point where Im going to treat myself to the messenger bag and other things gootium make. Can't rate them high enough.

The Large (30l) Rucksack is incredibly spacious, easily accommodating all my work essentials and then some. It's also ideal for hiking, offering ample room for outdoor gear. It features 2 side pouches ideal for drinks, a front pouch for easy accessible items and an interior zipped pocket for to securely store smaller items. I find myself out in the elements alot with work and so for I've found that this rucksack is pretty good in heavy rain fall, mainly due to the thick material. Granted it will get soaked but I have yet to see any rain get through to the interior. On top of its practically and resilience I've also received numerous compliments on its stylish vintage design from strangers. My Father was so impressed with the quality of the rucksack that he ordered one for himself. I can't recommend this rucksack enough. I had my doubts with it when ordering but once I received it I knew I'd made a smart purchase.

Great well made quality backpack that looks the part. The material on mine while very good quality was less 'distressed washed' looking than the photos but still a great looking backpack. Plenty of pockets and a inner sleeve inside that fit my 14 inch laptop and a inner zippered pocket as well as pencil pockets. Very good bargain for the price and would cost much more from a high street brand.

I've had this bag five years now and it shows no sign of wearing out in spite of me carrying shopping and heavy loads constantly. So much space, I'm amazed how much it contains. Super tough, the threading at pressure points all intact, the quality is excellent, thick canvas, black leather trim and brass buckles. If this bag ever wears out I will buy another one but I think it will still be usable for many years to come.
