Description

Our Rockness backpack was inspired by those fantastic frame rucksacks of the early 20th century that were so popular with mountaineers, especially Nordic explorers.
This is a unique update of that classic, with a tubular powder-coated steel frame and multi-strap system to keep you comfortable and all your expedition essentials securely supported.
The 2 inch wide shoulder straps are padded with English suede for extra comfort . In addition we have added a Swiss woven soft webbing strap to create a cushion against your lower back allowing air to flow in between the body of the bag and your back, keeping you cool on your adventures.
All are bags are made from British cloth treated with water repellent finishes, and with numerous internal and external pockets providing ample space to organise your kit this is a must for the modern 'classic' explorer.

Care for your Portamus bag
A bit of hide food or simple neutral leather polish will go a long way to keep the leather clean and supple.
Our bags cannot be washed or dry-cleaned, but can be sponged gently with a soap-free damp cloth. Always allow the item to dry thoroughly after use, in a cool, airy environment. Please don’t dry on a radiator; the leather will not thank you. Reproofing wax cotton bags will maintain the waterproof qualities and extend your bag’s life.

We hope that you will be 100% satisfied with your item, however if there is a problem or a fault, please visit holly.co/customerservice for any return queries, including photos of the entire product as well as the detail of the repair/fault. We will carefully assess your bag and advise you what can be done to rectify things.
If your item is still within the statutory warranty we will endeavour in the first case to provide you with a replacement. However if this is not possible we will look to provide a repair free of charge.

Ever yearn for just honest products? Simply made by traditional methods, by someone who cares.

I don’t handmake each bag using old tools and old methods just because it’s fashionable. I do it because it’s better. All Portamus products are handmade from start to finish right here in the Stroud valleys – by me, Ben.

They’re made for the outdoors. Making the best of traditional British waterproofed fabrics and Italian vegetable tanned leather (which smells amazing). Just perfect for our predictably unpredictable weather.
