DESIGNED FOR ADVENTURE - DURABLE WAXED CANVAS AND RECLAIMED LEATHER.
I purchased the Roe Adventure Backpack. It is an excellent well made bag. My only comment would be that it has a brilliant large quick access panel on the front but it also has a side pocket right next to it which is a second quick access panel. I believe this side pocket would be better served as a storage pocket rather than a second quick access panel. Overall a superb back which I would highly recommend.
Tay - Canvas Rolltop Backpack - Tan
Tyne - Waxed Canvas Sling Crossbody Bag - Moss Green
Ideal size with plenty of useful pockets. It is a well made and quality bag.
I needed a new backpack to commute to work, and this is perfect. It's really well made, and comfy when wearing. Love the design and colour ❤️
Well made, really happy with it
Tyne - Waxed Canvas Sling Crossbody Bag - Tan
I wasn't looking for another camera backpack -- although this one can certainly accommodate my travel camera gear. I was looking for a small, lightweight backpack that I could carry around the city and between cities on short trips. This one is perfect. Love the moss green waxed canvas and the quality. Highly recommend.
Spent a full day in Chester with the Dane, and it was a proper test of what I could actually fit in it.
I had my Olympus PEN-F in a half leather case, the 14-42 PZ kit lens, 17mm f1.8 and 60mm f2.8 Macro, plus my glasses, spare camera battery, small phone charger, AirPods and Kindle.
Walked around for hours and it was genuinely really comfortable. Everything felt secure, it didn’t get in the way, and despite carrying all that, it never felt bulky or overloaded.
And it just looks bloody great 😂
This is now Kovered bag number 2 for me, and it pairs perfectly with my Witham. Safe to say I’m a bit of a fan!
Got this for my son - he loves it and uses it on his daily commute! Great bit for of kit!
Just lovely. A real gem, a well made well designed solid and beautiful bag. I love it.
This backpack is simply my best purchase.
I love vintage fashion, but this backpack is something more.
Surprisingly fast shipping from overseas. Took me awhile to find a crossbody sling bag that worked for me and this was it. 💯 satisfied with purchase
Top quality bag , goes nicely with the back pack. Not too big but big enough
Highly recommended
I’ve been a Kovered fan since their early days, have several bags from them myself and have also bought several as presents. My work pattern has recently changed and I needed to swap out my trusty messenger for a backpack. This Tay is just the right size for me and has Kovered’s usual retro chic rugged style. It’s also very comfortable and of course hard wearing. My Kovered bags only get better with age, wear and patina, and over the years the product quality has stayed at its original very high standard. I’m really loving the Tay and I’m sure it will be making many memories with me and visiting many places as my messenger has.
I ordered it about 6 a.m. and it had been dispatched about two hours later! Thanks to Kovered for maintaining their great standards of product and service over the years.
