The Rothco Vintage Expedition Rucksack (SKU 8704-8709) combines authentic vintage aesthetics with modern durability. Unlike modern tactical packs, it features heavyweight cotton canvas with genuine leather accents and antique brass hardware for a timeless expedition style. The drawstring-and-flap closure system mirrors classic mountaineering rucksacks, while padded shoulder straps ensure all-day comfort. It's naturally water-resistant and built for both urban commuting and wilderness treks, making it ideal for those who want heritage style without sacrificing functionality.

Yes, the main compartment measures 16.25" H × 13.5" W × 5.25" D, which comfortably accommodates most 15-inch laptops and work essentials. The large drawstring-secured main compartment provides flexible storage, while the front pocket keeps quick-access items like keys, wallets, or transit cards within reach. The padded, adjustable shoulder straps make it comfortable for daily work, school, or commuting use. Available in five colorways including Olive Drab, Black, Charcoal Grey, Khaki, and Brown.

Rothco's heavyweight cotton canvas is naturally water-resistant and develops a weathered patina over time, unlike synthetic materials that can degrade. While not fully waterproof, the dense canvas weave repels light rain and moisture effectively. The leather accents and antique brass hardware are built for long-term durability in outdoor conditions. For extended wilderness treks or heavy downpours, we recommend using a rain cover or waterproofing treatment to protect electronics and sensitive gear inside the main compartment.

Absolutely—this rucksack is designed for real-world use, not just style. The heavyweight canvas construction, secure drawstring-and-flap closure, and padded shoulder straps make it ideal for day hiking, wilderness treks, and urban exploration. The 16.25" × 13.5" × 5.25" main compartment holds trail essentials like water, snacks, first aid, and extra layers, while the front pocket keeps maps or GPS devices accessible. It's versatile enough for both outdoor adventures and everyday carry, blending classic expedition heritage with practical functionality.
