Sitka Messenger Bag in Dark Walnut.
This is a beautiful piece. The leather, liner, stitching, hardware - all 5+ stars. Definitely more than worth the price.
Also, Kodiak customer service is truly excellent - very friendly, truly helpful, and extremely responsive.
Without question this company cares about product quality and their customers. Will definitely buy from again.
This bag lasted about three years before completely falling apart. It looks fantastic—I'll give it that—but that's about where the positives end. Right out of the box, the magnetic clasps on the front flap never lined up properly. I figured they'd settle in as the leather broke in, but after all this time (since September 2021), they still don’t connect. Then came the zippers. They started catching more and more until they eventually got stuck for good. No amount of careful handling could save them. The most frustrating part, though, is how the lining just disintegrated. The front flap's lining (with the Velcro pocket, which stopped working after a year) is in shreds. The inside lining of both main compartments and the back zipper pocket? Torn to pieces. For context, I’m an attorney. I use this bag for work—putting files in, taking files out. That’s it. I don’t throw it around or overload it, so I’m honestly shocked at how poorly it’s held up. And yet, here I am, still using it, because the leather itself looks incredible and has aged beautifully. Giving it two stars because, despite everything, it is a beautiful bag. I also like this company and really wanted to love it, but between the hardware, zippers, and interior fabric, the durability just isn’t there.
Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback. We are sorry to hear about the issues you experienced with your bag. While we’re glad you love the leather and design, we understand how frustrating it must have been to deal with the hardware and lining concerns, especially when relying on it for daily work. As you know from our private conversation, we’ve already taken care of replacing your bag, but I just wanted to acknowledge your experience here as well. Your feedback is very valuable to us, and we’re always working to improve our products. If you ever need anything else, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
I had an issue with a zipper and Kodiac replaced the entire bag out of warranty! Blown away
Bought this for my husband and he loved the Cocoa color & rugged look to it. Lots of room, but, we discovered it’s hard to pack things in it with the straight zipper across the top.
Would LOVE this with a “U” zipper that fully opens and allows easy access to the interior to pack or remove items.
We ordered one of the canvas bags that has a “U” zipper.
I would 100% buy this again if it had a “U” zipper. It is the Ultimate guy duffel!
Hi there! Thank you for leaving a review for our LIMITED EDITION - Yukon 60L Weekender Duffel. We are so glad to hear that your husband loves the Cocoa color and rugged look of it. We also appreciate your feedback about the straight zipper across the top and will definitely take it into consideration for future designs. We have many other awesome bags with a 'U' zipper, including our Wasatch leather duffel, 55 and 85L Nomad duffel, Canvas Wasatch duffel, and our Iliamna duffel. We hope you'll give these a try and find the perfect duffel for your needs. Thanks again for your support and have a great day!
I have a lot of items from Kodiak, and this leather portfolio is just as good as anything else I purchased. It was scratch and dent, but really it was in great shape. Seems to be what I need for work and to help keep me organized. I don’t normally care too much for portfolios, but this one is the right size and has every type of pocket I need, big and small to keep folders and day planners or notebooks. I love using it also just because the leather is amazing and well put together in the typical Kodiak quality so I’m sure to last a long time. I have to say this every time but Kodiak customer service is by far the best I’ve ever dealt with.
I found these money clip and minimal wallet at a ranch is Montana. I like simple! Not a fan of billfold and not ready or those aluminum wallet.
I lost my wallet back in 2023 in Alaska and the following year they didn’t have those wallets at the ranch anymore.
I’m so happy I found this specific wallet again!
Quality materials and design went into making this bag! From the zippers to the layout and pockets, this speaks volumes to the coordination that took place. The only room criticism I’d have for this bag is reinforcement on the bottom straps where it attaches to the bag, perhaps some triple stitching or X- stitch might be better suited there. Additionally, I’d think a more cushioned set of shoulder straps would make this bag more appealing.
I’m completely satisfied as a customer from this organization. That has not changed. However, this order of journal paper was not like the original journal paper that comes with the journal. This paper is yellow, like a corn tortilla chip. The original paper is not that color. It’s fine, I’m happy. Just wish it had been the original paper.
The quality was much better than I had anticipated. We had bought a bag a few years ago from a luxury department store for a lot more money and it is currently peeling and looks horrible! We don't travel often maybe 3 to 4 times a year so the state of his current bag was very disheartening. I am so pleased at the quality of every inch of this bag. I absolutely love the smell of the leather. I will definitely be purchasing more items.
High quality, wife loved it and deserves just that! Her previous bag wore out (wasn't a leather bag) from how many hospital visits we've had to do. She loves the design and it is the perfect size to replace what we always called, "the hospital bag". It's fantastic. Thanks y'all!
Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! If your wallet is still new and unused we'd be happy to swap it out for a different one. Our Slim RFID or Kenai Minimalist are thinner and may work a little better for you. Feel free to reach out to our support team at support@kodiakleather.com.
I really like the feel and construction of the lliamna bag, my only complaint is the main compartment opening is a little bit smaller than I would like it. Otherwise I am very pleased with the design and quality and am confident that this will be the last overnight / weekend bag I’ll ever buy as it is so well constructed it will last a lifetime.
Nice case. Was shipped flat. Take awhile to straighten up. Zippers hard to use due to that. Looks nice. Time will tell. Had my last one 52 years
