MAD-13 Rolltop Rucksack

GRANDAD CARRIED THIS

That's the philosophy behind this bag. The MAD-13 is made to look, feel and serve like the time-honoured infantry bags of the early 20th century. In WW1 and WW2, waxed cotton canvas, leather and brass were the extent of military tech when it came to packs and protective gear. You won't find velcro or plastic buckles and clips here. 

BATTLE TESTED FEATURES

The MAD-13 is a medium-sized rolltop backpack. The term rolltop refers to the fact that the top of the bag is rolled (or folded) closed in order to make a tight, water-resistant seal. The main material is beeswaxed cotton canvas with a 16oz weight. That's probably the heaviest you will find anywhere in the world. Waxed cotton resists water whilst still allowing the interior of the bag to breathe.

The MAD-13 is suited to commuters and day travellers who are looking for a rugged design that exudes confidence. With an extra-wide shoulder harness it suits a variety of wearers it’s neither too big nor too small. The full-length, YKK luggage-grade zip means that in a pinch, you can fill the main compartment right to the top. Watch the video below for more details.
