Doughnut American Vintage Cordura Rucksack

I bought this backpack as a replacement for an older worn out bag which I used every day for three and a half years. I have been using it for the last couple of weeks as my everyday backpack and also on a short city trip to Vienna. I usually travel with my 13” laptop, my system camera, kindle, water and extra clothes. I am a tall guy, and the adjustability of the American Vintage backpack means it sits comfortably on my shoulders, even when weighted. On my city trip, the backpack worked excellently. I loved all the different pockets and compartments, particularly the laptop compartment, which felt safe and secure. The internal pockets are also great - I was able to organize my stuff really well. A massive plus for me was the CORDURA material. The material is used in heavy-duty work and sportswear. It meant I didn’t have to be too careful with the bag, as I knew that mashes and scrapes wouldn’t break the fabric. CORDURA is also highly water-resistant. And couples with the waterproof zippers you can trust that your stuff isn’t going to get wet. One drawback I have found is the drawstring closure on the main compartment. I personally, would much prefer a zipper here just as I find a drawstring a little fiddly. Also, the leather straps which hold the lid and the front compartment take a while to get used to. I’d recommend the American Vintage Cordura Backpack to anyone looking for a stylish, durable and water-resistant rucksack.
