The large main compartment is pulled together with a leather strap - as was the custom of our great-grandfathers. The flap, with its adjustable metal buckle, closes and opens the main compartment quickly and conveniently. Inside there is a zippered compartment.
Smaller things - like lip balm, nose spray or hiking map - that you want to access quickly are well stored in the smaller, patch pocket. Valuables will be safest stored in the zippered back pocket. Speaking of safe: Since the backpack is completely equipped with a water-repellent lining, you don't have to worry about a rain shower.
The two adjustable shoulder straps and the carrying handle are made of full leather and ensure a very comfortable fit both when carried in the hand or on the back.
