Sono molto contenta dell’acquisto, zaino molto capiente e ben rifinito.

I like to call myself a Backpack Collector. Do I *need* 40+ different options? That’s debatable. But I can’t resist trying new bags out.
I’m glad I stumbled upon this pack when I was looking for something totally unrelated. Normally, I stick to brands I’ve heard of and trust, but the reviews and product images looked great. I took a risk, and it was definitely worth it. This is a great value for money.
The unsung hero of this bag is the pockets that line the inside. The organization of this backpack is very thoughtful. The bag is unlined reducing weight, but it has finished seams, which prevent fraying. There is a large slip pocket for a tablet or computer on the interior back, two smaller interior slip pockets across from that, and a slip pocket on each interior side. The outside features a deep front zipper pocket, two water bottle pockets, and a hidden zipper pocket on the back exterior, which is generously sized. I take it a step further and add a lightweight bag organizer into the bucket to make better use of that space. And there is a key leash on the insight. God, I love when designers give us a little snap to hold our keys.
This bag is great for ANYONE. I love the minimalist design, and the color with vegetable tanned leather accents is really lovely. Wanna spice it up? You can embroider it or add patches and pins. Even paint the wide open front panel. I haven’t decided what I’m going to do yet, but I’m excited to plan.
This purchase was totally on me, no sponsorship or nothing…Though I wish it was sponsored, because I’m now curious about their other products!

I love Gootium! There bags are amazing! I have 3 different bags from them. They are durable and hold up very well. Two of my bags take daily, heavy use. I’ve had this bag for a little less then a year and it is still perfect.
This bag is comfortable and hold so much stuff without being overly large. It goes with me pretty much everywhere, everyday. I don’t stuff it full everyday, but I have plenty of times when I needed to.
My MacBook fits perfectly in the large inside pocket. I love the claw clasp on the inside to attached my lanyard to so I don’t have to dig too much for my keys.
The pockets on the outside are great to put my water bottle in one and my phone in the other.
My mom even purchased a bag after checking mine out. I’ve been stopped at stores too from people asking where I got and if it would work as a diaper bag. It definitely would!
My husband and I have even talked about purchasing one for each of kids for when we go on trips. He also has one and used it for a work trip out of the country!
I cannot recommend these bags enough!

I couldn’t be more impressed with the quality of this bag! I can already tell that this bag will last a lifetime. It’s roomy (perfect width and height), has lots of pockets (including two divided ones inside), quality (metal, not plastic) zippers, sturdy (real) leather hand straps, two handy and open side pockets, a protective inside sleeve section for my lap top, zipper pulls attached for quick and easy access, padded and adjustable shoulder straps, a large and thoughtfully placed zippered compartment that rests up against your back to safeguard any valuables or important papers, plus an inside lobster claw to hang my keys on. The color, Umber, is spot on as well…the perfect shade of brown. (The pictures may show it to be a bit lighter because of the flash from the camera). I am especially grateful for the quality stitching and reinforcements in all the right places including the extra wide panel on the outside bottom of the pack that helps it “stand up” to make loading it a breeze. The canvas is thick and durable but not too thick. It’s the perfect weight so that you don’t feel like you’re carrying around just a bag when your pack load is light. In addition, all the inside seams are piped (or covered) and sealed to prevent any kind of fabric fraying. Trust me…This exceptional feature screams quality! Also, since I’m one who is fond of a simple look and can do without the over-the-top branding logos plastered all over a product, I particularly appreciate the incognito, yet classy and well sized, brand name that is strategically placed on the back pack. Although there is another company name stamped in large letters on the bottom of the pack in a similar and blended in color, I suppose I can live with that considering its location. Unfortunately, in comparison to another Gootium back pack that I own, I’m not particularly satisfied with the shoulder straps. I’m annoyed with the fact that the padded straps don’t continue all the way up the shoulder to the top of the bag to provide that extra cushion on the top of the shoulder. What I am super stoked about is that I’m able to fit my (go with me everywhere) 40 oz water bottle — yes, 40 oz — into one of the two open side pockets. I’ve never been able to do that with any other back pack that I’ve ever owned before! Bonus points for me right there! I almost always take a back pack with me everywhere I go, and, now, this eye catcher will definitely be my new “Take Me Anywhere” daily bag. It’s definitely hard to find absolutely everything that you love in one back pack, but this one, for me, comes pretty darn close. Gootium stands behind and believes in their products, and they also have a super attentive customer service team. If you’re at all on the fence about getting one, hesitate no more. It (and all of their other products) surely will not disappoint. You’ll feel nothing but pure joy and happiness knowing that you own such an attractive, well-crafted bag for a more than reasonable price! Thank you, Gootium, for continuing to strive to provide us all with such outstanding and durable products!

I’ve used this several times now and it’s nearly perfect. I love that it’s lightweight, though I’d prefer a bit of structure for the back where the laptop pocket is. I have a thin laptop and get worried that it’ll get crushed when the bag is full or the contents shift. I’m not normally a fan of interior pockets, but the ones in this bag work really well and fit specific things I carry well, so that’s good. The bag hasn’t been used in the rain, so it’s not clear yet how well the zipper keeps moisture out. The straps are also more comfortable than expected, considering they don’t have much cushioning. The security pocket on the back is a bonus.

デザインに一目惚れしたのですが、聞かないブランドですしレビューも異常に多いので中華製のちゃちい品かな、と思ってたところ調べたらアメリカ製かつ本場で人気のあるバッグだと知りました。
造りはかなりしっかりしているし、内側のタグなどの装飾もいい味を出しています。
更ににポケット沢山で使い勝手もいいので万人におすすめです。
ただまず注意してほしいのが、メイン写真のような色褪せ、ウォッシュ加工はされていません。
特に黒だと顕著ですが、普通に新品感のある真っ黒で綺麗なパリッとした帆布生地です。
帆布は使ってると味が出てくるものなので、写真は使っていく内にこうなるよといった感じです。(それをメイン写真にするのはどうかと思いますが…)
アンティーク感を求めてる人はがっかりするかもしれませんが、これはこれで全然悪い見た目ではないですし、帆布を育てる楽しみができると思えばいい買い物になるかもしれません。

I like everything about this bag. I got it in green because it was the only one that they would deliver to an Amazon locker. I wish they deliver other colours too.

I bought the olive colored bag and love it! It’s very well made. There’s no plastic parts on this bag, just metal. The leather makes the bag look good. I am using it as an everyday bag/purse. The size is just right for me, but it may be too small or large for others. The canvas material is perfect, it’s thick, but not too thick like a tool bag. The pockets on the inside make organizing items easy. This company makes quality bags. I may have to order another bag in a different color or try a different style bag from them.

I’ve wanted this packpack for like 6 years now and finally bought it. I love it! It’s big and has lots of pockets and it’s just great! Good material, good for the monies.
Update.. it’s been 2 months and the strap is starting to rip at the seam. I do t even use this everyday and so it’s a little disappointing. Maybe be keep and eye out for ripping so it doesn’t spread too far.

I bought my first Gootium bag a few years ago. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and design. Very nicely done, great stitching, piping and materials. My wife liked it so much she wanted one to use as a handbag. Soon my children each wanted one. They have gone to Disney World with us and have been used daily. We have never had an issue with any of them! No broken zippers, no torn straps, no ripped pockets. So many times some products seem very nice and in a short while they disappoint. Not the case here. They have not seen heavy field use but they have stood up to everyday wear and something about their bags, they seem to have compartments and pockets in all the right places!
Now Gootium is the first brand I look for when wanting a bag. The price is fair, the quality is good. It’s obvious this company is interested in building a good reputation. They seem proud of their products and are sure to be responsive if you have any issues. This is the impression that I have from my few interactions with them. Their latest backpack is perfect! My other Gootium bags are smaller and I’ve wanted a larger size. This model is very spacious without being bulky. Great thoughtfulness on the placement and number of pocket. Dual water bottle holders are hardly noticeable when not in use. I love the understated utilitarian design and premium looking labels and details. If you are looking for bags with rugged simplicity from a smaller company dedicated to their products you will not be disappointed with Gootium. Just be warned, friends and family may soon want their own bag!

I’m using it as a diaper bag. This is a very durable, functional and comfortable canvas bag. The strap length is great, I am 5”4, my husband is 6”4 and we both use it comfortably. The storage capacity is great. The side pockets fit tall narrow water bottles. The padding in the straps is nice, could definitely be worn for a while. I love the simple style of it, and know I’ll use this bag for the next several years of my life. 10/10 recommend. I do have packing cubes on the inside as there aren’t tons of pockets for organization.

After ordering a bag from another seller (because it was cheaper) then returning it because of not meeting expectations/needs, I bit the bullet. Meaning… I done went ahead n’ paid the extra “dollahs” for one of Gootium’s products. Having bought from them before, I was aware of the fantastic quality that comes with their stuff. Just be prepared to pay for it.
The only regret? Not doing it sooner. It would’ve saved the time waiting and would’ve prevented the disappointment of receiving something that isn’t suitable then having to return it. (I DO appreciate having that option, though; don’t get me wrong. I am NOT having an entitled “woe is me” moment.)
The canvas material is tough and strong. There is no lining inside. Don’t need it. (I abhor cheap linings with fragile zippers and too small pockets.) All the seams are sewn in so no entanglement of loose threads when taking in/out your stuff and seams eventually fraying out.
I chose the light Khaki color because, since there is no gawd-awful black lining, I would be able to actually SEE the whatchamacallit right next to the doodad at the bottom of the bag. Fortunately, there are pockets on the inside–no individual zippers or closure–that smaller items will fit into nicely and will prevent any hiding in the main abyss of the bag.
To be fair, I cannot say how well this bag will endure long excursions while battling lions, tigers, and bears (go ahead… say it… OH MY!). The longest excursion for me will be from house to automobile then vice versa. Items carried will be wallet, bottle of OTC pain meds, hand lotion, an A4 size planner and an A4 journal. It can definitely hold more, so when going to the library it’ll carry all that plus a few books.
The shoulder straps are padded and can be adjusted. I’m 5’2″ so that may not say much to someone who requires more room.
The top zipper is a strong metal; the front pocket’s zipper is plastic. I don’t particularly care about the flap that covers it, because I had to kinda dig for the zipper tag to unzip it. So. That means if/when that pocket is in use, the zipper will not be completely closed by at least an inch.
For those who must carry more weight daily, ie, tools, books, etc., and really do have to deal with OH MYs! (in human or any other form), I really cannot say how well the bag will hold up.

LOVE this bag! So impressed with it. Not a thing I would change.
Lots of pockets for organizing, great space inside and comfortable straps. I especially love that the side pockets are deep and wide enough for a 42oz Nalgene or 36oz Hyroflask. I have two little kids, 3 and under, and we do a fair bit of hiking. Needed a versatile bag that could adapt to multiple uses; an on the go diaper bag/hiking bag/every day bag, rather than having multiple bags. This one is perfect . There’s room for hiking essentials like first aid and emergency gear plus it holds diapers, a change of clothes for both kids, a travel towel, snacks, big waters and there’s still room. It doesn’t feel bulky and the fabric seems sturdy. Not something most parents would consider for a kids travel/diaper bag but I highly recommend it, for any need really. This is a great bag.
