Shoutout to the Right Pack. After decades of proving its mettle as an all around durable solution, this icon has earned a much deserved upgrade: the side water bottle pocket. Padded laptop sleeve included, it’s finally coming into its own as a feature-packed pack with the confidence you’d expect from such classic style.

Rugged yet refined, the Kobuk Leather Backpack is the ultimate pack for work, travel, and exploration. Crafted from top-grain leather with premium brass hardware and YKK zippers, this 40L pack is designed for durability and functionality. A fully padded laptop sleeve securely fits 13” and 15” laptops, while multiple interior and exterior pockets—including a zippered side pocket for valuables, an easy-access water bottle pocket, and a large front pocket with a weather-resistant flap—keep your essentials organized. Adjustable padded backpack straps, an adjustable buckle closure, and D-rings for extra attachments make this pack as versatile as it is stylish.
