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 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 👍

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.

I don’t doubt there are probably more practical back packs available with more zipped pockets you can buy at a similar price tag that may be easier to live with. So why this one?. For me, there is no sign of nylon anywhere, just thick canvas material dyed to give off the effect of a washed out look. I like the double stitching used & how neatly it’s been finished off from the front & back. This reminds me of a good quality pair of jeans. The manufacturer logo is kept to a minimum with a thick leather embossed tag neatly stitched in the center of the opening flap approximately three inches wide by one & a half inches high, quite discrete. Don’t expect a rigid body far from it this bag will collapse very easily if it’s not well packed, but saying that I believe it adds to the charm. The straps are of a thick weave protected with little patches of leather to stop them from fraying. On the underside of the straps small studs are inserted to hold the pockets closed. The studs do close with a satisfying click only time will tell if these studs continue to hold that permanent lock. The buckles are effectively there for show, yes they can be adjusted but it’s just not necessary, especially if you’re in a hurry. The buckles don’t appear to be made out of brass but bear in mind this bag is made to a budget. The shoulder straps are not heavily padded but in my opinion suits the bag well, it looks minimalist. As for comfort I find it perfectly acceptable on a day trip. You have three pocket compartments on the outside which are generous in size, the middle one being slightly larger than the two on the side & one main cavernous sack approximately 30 litres in capacity with a small zipper pocket on the inside to keep your valuables in. This one and only zipper is not branded please don’t expect YKK quality. Compared to my nylon back pack this is heavier, it’s not waterproof & undoubtedly will weigh more if you’re caught in a heavy down poor. Is it a fair weather bag? Yes I think so, but saying that it will tolerate light showers. How could the manufacturer improve on this bag? Perhaps they should consider a waxed version & give the consumer either choice. As I said perhaps not the most practical of bags but I think you buy this bag for its rugged good looks that will look even better with wear & if you’re conscious of a 1950’s old charm bag on a budget then go no further.

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.

It is a lovely bag, well made and strong.

These bags are so good, when my old one wore out after many years of use I bought another of the same. Durable, comfy, and you can fit loads of stuff in them. Honestly they're great.

LOVE this backpack. Was looking for something large and strong for longer travel yet still able to use for lighter trips without being bulky and can fold up into another back to bring out later on trip. This is the Large size. Please see photos attached: front pocket size and side pocket and hanging next to belt bag so you can see size. Also see whole shoe box inside bottom of bag to help you see if size is right for you. Great value for money and canvas is strong but soft (not all stiff like some lesser comparisons :) Thank you for making this style and size bag 🙏Thank you

It's big with lots of space, has some useful side pockets. Looks really nice too.

Parfait

凄く大容量でしっかりしたレトロなリュックです。以前使用してたリュックより、いっぱい入るので良いです。

Compré la más grande para el colegio ya que llevo muchas cosas, terminó siendo más grande de lo que la esperaba, si van a acampar o a vacacionar varios días está excelente porque le caben muchas cosas, pero si es para otra cosa, sugiero la que es más pequeña. En general la calidad es buena, es muy linda y práctica.
