The Think Tank Retrospective line brings classic canvas styling to a modern travel piece. This product uses thick, abrasion-resistant canvas treated with a durable water-repellant (DWR) finish to help repel the elements. The design includes a wide, padded shoulder strap for comfortable carrying and a rugged, oversized YKK zipper that provides wide access to the main compartment.
The bag evokes a rugged adventurer aesthetic while remaining practical for everyday travel. The exterior uses stone-washed 100% cotton canvas for a durable yet softened feel that develops a unique look over time. Inside, a premium ripstop tartan liner highlights craftsmanship and protects contents.
Metal hardware is welded and reinforced with leather to create strong connection points. Full-grain Dakota leather accents and antique plated metal hardware add to the heritage appearance while supporting durability.
The bag focuses on access, security and carrying comfort. Key elements include a wide zippered opening to the main compartment and a large zippered pocket for quick access to essentials. The main compartment’s zipper-sliders are lockable for added security. Carry options include robust carry straps with leather grips, thick webbing grab-handles on all four sides and a padded removable shoulder strap with non-slip silicone for stable, comfortable transport.
The DWR coating and fully weather resistant treatment work together to help keep moisture out of the bag in variable conditions. The abrasion-resistant canvas stands up to rugged use while the ripstop tartan liner protects internal contents and emphasizes construction quality. YKK RC Fuse zippers are specified for abrasion resistance and for reliable operation even when the bag is fully packed.
