GRANDAD CARRIED THIS

That's the philosophy behind this backpack. 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. 

NOTHING PLASTIC HERE

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.

Mad Bag

I have being using Day packs for years both businesses and pleasure and I have never received a bag that looked this good packed to the brim with excellent useful features. From the chrome yam leather to the brass hardware it looks the part and plays hard. You just won’t find better value for money- you owe it to yourself to get one.

Got it right.

This rucksack feels good to carry. Its adjustable to fit over what clothes I'm wearing. I like having some pockets/compartments and a big space for most things. The attention to detail is very good. Its no fuss design suits me well and its a good size, too.
