What a great bag! I bought it mainly for carrying fly fishing bits and pieces and it fits the bill perfectly. I was also attracted to it because of its versatility. We do a fair bit of biking and the attachments for handlebars are a real bonus. I’m also a bit of a softie when it comes to the background behind a company, their ethos and environmental credentials. To know who designed something, why they did it, and their vision for a more accessible’outdoors’ were all key factors in my choice. When folks ask me about the bear - there is a story to tell …. how nice is that! Jon

A really well made bag. Great size for a thermos and a box of sandwiches.

My new bag from BearMade looks tough and hard-wearing. Looking forward to taking it with me over many miles in the coming years (great company ethos too).

Very cute 😍

Received my Gouthwaite backpack today and couldn't be happier. The quality is outstanding and a lot of love and care has obviously gone into making it. I owned my last backpack for ten years but this feels like it will last a lifetime.

My new backpack is great for my commute to work. Perfect size for my laptop and sundries (headphones, book etc). Waterproof too. Great!

Nice little pouch. Holds a Phone, car Keys, pasport and othet small items. Solid made and Well worth the money.

I've had this bag for a good few months now and still absolutely love it. Perfectly crafted, waterproof and a beautiful colour. you can tell that this really is a company that cares. 10/10

Having spent years going on walks with bags that were either too big, too small, or just too uncomfortable, the Ramsgill bag has finally proved to be exactly right. Big enough to fit my binoculars (the only biggish thing I always carry) with plenty of room left for phone, keys etc. The detailing is lovely - even fixing on the strap is a joy, with really high quality clips. It looks great and is very versatile - when I finally overcome my reluctance to go up hills and get on my bike again it will fit on there perfectly as well. Lovely to know that the bag is ethically sourced and sustainably made, giving a further reason to enjoy it. A really great find that will be a joy to use for years to come.

We love the Gouthwaite backpack - it's incredibly sturdy and practical and has really high quality design features - using the buckle is like closing the door on a really fancy car. It just feels so much better than flimsy alternatives.
But just as importantly we know it's all sustainably sourced and we can feel good about using it knowing that Bearmade are doing their bit to contribute to a better world.
The service from them was wonderful and we loved special touches like the handwritten card describing carbon offset details, printed on paper that incorporates wildflower seeds that can be planted in the garden.
A complete 5 star rating on every level.

A really well made practical piece of kit, perfect for the outside or the office.

Bought the 13-15L backpack in rust and it's the most beautiful, well-made bag. I'm 164cm tall and it's the perfect size for me. Before purchasing I had some questions which Oscar answered immediately, so bonus points for brilliant customer service, too!

I've been using my Stean Crossbody for a month now, it's perfect for everyday use. It feels well made and is the perfect size to fit all my necessities - it even fits my water bottle! (which I could never do with my old Carhartt bum bag) The adjustable strap allows for waist or shoulder carry and the zip is so smooth I can do the bag up with one hand!

The perfect blend of classic and rugged good looks with fantastic quality that will last a lifetime. The duffel is lightweight and just right size for quick over night or weekend trip.

Great quality product, would benefit from some internal dividers/pockets though.
