Although both the terms “backpack” and “rucksack” have the same dictionary definition (“rucksack” comes from the German word “der rücken,” meaning “the back”), the rucksack carries distinctly military connotations and generally describes a product of considerable ruggedness and size.
Possessing both of these qualities in spades, the full-grain leather Killspencer R-22 Rucksack shares another common feature with military-grade rucksacks – a highly convenient and accessible large entry point at the top (in this case, one that closes with a high-end, Swiss-made Riri zipper of antique silver).
Other highlights of the R-22 include hand-quilted nylon exterior back detailing, foam-padded leather shoulder straps, and multiple zippered/mesh pockets both on the outside and on the inside. If you’re all about personalizing, you can also have your monogram hand-stamped on the leather patch on the exterior right side.
