A trip rarely needs just one way to carry a bag, and the Basecamp doesn't ask you to pick. This men's leather convertible chest pack switches between sling and traditional two-strap carry without extra straps or clips, wearing crossbody through an airport and swapping to backpack mode once you're on the trail with a full load. The main pocket holds a 9.7" iPad, with one interior pocket, two front zip pockets, and a rear zip pocket. Thick full-grain leather, hand-stitched with tough nylon thread, solid brass hardware. Two colors.

Why It's Built to Last
- Full-grain leather develops a deeper patina with handling instead of cracking

- Solid brass hardware and zippers, not plated
- Reinforced strap anchors rated for the extra load of two-strap carry
Full-Grain Leather vs. Other "Leather" Bags
| Saddlebelt Full-Grain | Other "Leather" Bags | |
|---|---|---|
| Material | ✓ Full-grain leather throughout | Bonded or split leather scraps |
| Patina Over Time | ✓ Develops a rich patina with handling | Coating cracks or peels instead |
| Hardware | ✓ Solid brass, screwed and riveted in place | Plated metal that flakes with wear |
| Price | ✓ Costs less over time than replacing a cheap bag every year | Cheap up front, but you'll buy it again and again |
Care Instructions
- Wipe down with a dry cloth every so often to keep dust and surface oils from building up.
- Condition every few months with a small amount of natural leather balm, then buff off the excess.
- If it gets wet, let it air-dry away from direct heat.
- Some darkening and softening with use is normal — that's the leather breaking in.
