Here we are again, talking about a reasonably priced, well put together bag that looks pretty great. But you’ve got plenty of those already, so why put another one in the rotation? It always boils down to little details, and the Vans Goleta Backpack has plenty of them. For starters, it’s not just a backpack. The multi-function straps are decked out with their own adjustable straps and clasp hardware. That means it works as a roll top backpack, messenger bag or tote. There’s also suede accents, durable cotton construction and a two part closure that skips the snaps and drawstrings in favor of a leather pass through.
