Whether it’s tracking cougars in Patagonia, hunting pheasants in South Dakota, or commuting wading through foot traffic in New York City, a waxed canvas bag is up for taking on the elements and your rough use. Unlike its synthetic counterparts, waxed canvas’s subtle style downplays its versatility and ruggedness; canvas is a time-tested material that’s made a name for itself by keeping ships sailing true and fishermen dry for centuries. So, for this perennial cloth, carrying a laptop and EDC is a walk in the park. If you find yourself hunting, tracking, or just surviving until that first cup of dark roast, you’ll be glad you had one of these waxed canvas bags at your side.
