Gootium Canvas Backpack #21101 – Vintage Outdoor Rucksack, Small Khaki (23 L)

Gootium canvas backpack – vintage outdoor rucksack, small khaki

Practical style that still works

Looking for a compact daypack that actually looks the part and will stand up to real use? This Gootium canvas backpack has that classic, outdoorsy vibe without being precious about it. The heavy-duty cotton canvas is garment-washed so it feels softer to the touch but keeps its toughness where it matters. Leather trim and solid metal fittings finish it off — the sort of bag that only gets better with a bit of wear.

Built to last

The build is all about sensible durability. There’s one roomy main compartment for the bulk of your kit plus smaller pockets placed where you’ll actually reach for keys, your phone or a notebook. Seams are reinforced, stitching is tidy, and the leather bits aren’t just for looks — they strengthen stress points. The pack weighs roughly 0.84 kg and holds about 23 L, so it’s light enough to carry all day without feeling like dead weight.

Everyday use and travel

It’s a great size for commuting, short hikes or as a carry-on for light travellers. Need to bung in a lunch, a light jacket and a book? Sorted. Want quick access but extra security on the move? The drawstring with a flap gives you both — no faffing about with fiddly zips. Perfect for city days, country walks or popping to the pub after a stroll.

Practical details and typical questions

• Materials: Heavy-duty cotton canvas with garment-washing, genuine leather trim and metal hardware for longevity.
• Closure: Drawstring plus flap cover for flexible access and added security.
• Size & weight: Approximately 30.5 x 20 x 38 cm and about 0.84 kg; capacity around 23 L.
• What fits inside: Ideal for daily essentials, a tablet or a slim 13″ device, a water bottle and small extras. For larger laptops, double-check the measurements first.
• Weather note: Canvas is robust but not fully waterproof — a light shower won’t faze it, but for prolonged downpours a cover or waterproof spray is sensible.

Who this is for

If you like a neat, vintage-style rucksack and a 23 L capacity suits your everyday needs, this is a handy, no-nonsense pick. It’s aimed at anyone after a classic look with practical function — commuters who appreciate character, weekend walkers, or travellers after a rugged carry option that won’t look out of place in a café.

Wondering about longevity? With a bit of sensible care it’ll last for years. The leather will pick up a pleasing patina and the canvas benefits from an occasional clean and a waterproof spray if you’re often out in wet weather. No complicated features — just straightforward kit that does the job well.
