Heavier fabric, on purpose
A much tougher yarn than the 300D found on many lighter bags. It adds a little weight and cost, and it's why our bags wear in rather than out.

What customers say
"I fully believe they maintain their 'bags for life' ethos."
I have owned the Salkan Backpacker bag for 4 years now... I had damaged the front chest clip on my daypack. They were quick to identify the part I had broken and send out a replacement that I could easily fit myself.
"The first has proved so robust."
This is the second one I have bought. The first has proved so robust and well designed for eldest son backpacking round the world this one is for his younger brother.
"Used this backpack on a motorcycle journey through India and it really exceeded my expectations."
"My forever rucksack."
I recently decided to treat myself to a brand new rucksack for a trip to Peru... I think I've found my forever rucksack!
Far outweighed by all the positives.
After one week in Andalusia, I can say, I'm delighted with my choice. Yes, it is a little bit heavier than other bags but this is far outweighed by all the positives.
