Scruffs is all about work wear and safety gear for those in the trade. I am not in need of any sort of heavy duty work or safety gear myself at the moment, but I did spot this rather useful rucksack on the website.
To me, this bag does not come across as typical work wear. It’s more like something I would choose to take on a long walk or rambling. The colour is navy blue with light brown straps which again don’t really say trade type colours. To look at it in a picture it looks like your average rucksack, but it’s quite deceptive as its much bigger than it looks inside.
At the back, next to the straps is the main deep pocket. This is fairly large and opens up to the full length of the bag. This one pocket alone will fit a lot of stuff inside.
The second pocket is almost as big as the first. This space comes with yet another smaller hideaway padded compartment fastened by a Velcro strap, this could be useful for laptops and tablet storage. Next to this is one of those key chain holders (quite useful). The second pocket also contains a mesh pocket section with 2 small places to store phones or other smaller items.
A third pocket on the front of the bag reveals a large insulated cool bag section which can be used for food and drink storage. Below this is a smaller rectangular compartment perfect for pens and small items.
This one rucksack has so much space inside. I am sure it makes a great bag for work and tools but it also makes a great weekend bag too and seems perfect as hand luggage on planes. It is comfortable to carry on the back as there is EVA padding to the straps and back, thus avoiding discomfort.
In my opinion this bag is an absolute bargain for space, style and comfort. It costs just £24.95 which is probably a standard price for similar bags which don’t have as much space as this one. It would be perfect for school and college too as it doesn’t cost the Earth. Ryan already has his eye on it once we have finished taking the bag on trips away.
