Ralph Lauren has officially made the best looking backpack/rucksack we’ve seen in quite some time. The flap top closure has a drawstring closure in a contrasting color. The giant inside that the flap top closes is lined with a contrasting orange nylon twill. The rich, chocolaty leather straps and trim are imported, supple and look really good on the blue nylon. It’s also got pockets on either side with zippered flap tops that seem to be the perfect size for a travel coffee mug or a collapsible umbrella. It’s almost too pretty to actually take out on the trail and beat up. Almost.
