material

Wasserabweisendes Canvas mit Wachsschicht mit robustem Sattelleder und Kupfernieten

Waxed canvas, saddle leather & copper rivets

Our sophisticated Heritage collection is specially designed for intensive use in all weather conditions. Made with craftsmanship perfection from waxed cotton twill (22oz) and robust saddle leather. Each bag in this collection is water-repellent and offers protection for your equipment, even in bad weather.

The saddle leather used in this collection is made from high-quality buffalo leather. It comes from an LWG silver certified tannery. This leather gets its special color from a special two-tone effect achieved through a wax treatment.

Our copper rivets, hammered in by hand and virtually indestructible, are used at all stress points and develop a beautiful turquoise patina over time, which underlines the unique character of each bag.

Pure cotton lining

Our lining is made of pure cotton twill, a soft and natural material. Its special weave gives it a fine, diagonal structure that creates a particularly elegant look. This high-quality lining underlines the luxurious character of our Heritage collection and at the same time ensures high functionality. This means your valuables remain well protected and you can enjoy the comfort that only natural materials can offer.

The value of a good trip

The story behind the bags

We are Daniel and Christoph and we are living our dream. Although we are both completely different, we share a great passion: traveling. We founded the DRAKENSBERG label because we want to inspire people to recognize the true value of travel and to strive for it. To see the journey as a destination and to grow from it. Because we believe that a good trip can change your whole life. The trip that changed our lives took us across South Africa almost 20 years ago. When we wanted to drive from Cape Town to the Drakensberg. But we never got there.

frequently asked Questions

What makes the “Dale” backpack an ideal travel backpack for longer tours?

The "Dale" travel backpack is a particularly spacious and robust backpack with a variable volume of 40 to 60 liters – ideal for city trips, multi-day trips, trekking tours, backpacking trips, or extended hikes. Made of water-repellent canvas and leather, it reliably protects your luggage in any weather. The large main compartment with a roll-top closure can be flexibly adjusted, while the side zipper allows quick access to your contents – an unbeatable advantage for organized travel backpacks on tours with a lot of movement. Whether as a hiking backpack, travel backpack, or for everyday use: "Dale" meets the highest standards of functionality, storage space, and design.

Can I take the Dale travel backpack on the plane?

Yes, the "Dale" backpack is also suitable as a carry-on bag – especially if you don't unroll it completely. With a variable volume of 40–60 liters, it still fits standard carry-on dimensions on many airlines (especially low-cost carriers) as long as it's not fully packed. However, be sure to check the airline's individual guidelines, as dimensions and weights vary. Backpacks are generally not subject to as stringent hand luggage controls as duffel bags or suitcases.
Important: When flying, you should not carry any prohibited items in your travel backpack, such as liquids over 100 ml, knives, tools, or power banks with excessive wattage in your hand luggage. Then nothing will stand in the way of your next big vacation.

From what height is the travel backpack »Dale« suitable?

This large travel backpack is comfortable for men and women over approximately 165 cm tall. Thanks to padded, adjustable shoulder straps and a comfortable back panel, the travel backpack can be ergonomically adjusted – even for shorter stature when the volume isn't fully utilized. Particularly practical: The duffel bag design makes the backpack appear more compact when carried partially filled and not fully unfolded. This makes the "Dale" suitable for both slim women and tall men – a true all-rounder among travel backpacks.

How do I care for travel backpacks like the "Dale" made of waxed canvas and leather?

Travel backpacks made of waxed cotton canvas and buffalo leather require appropriate care to ensure they remain robust, weatherproof and stylish for a long time.
Here are some tips:

- Brush off light dirt on the material with a soft cloth or dry brush.

- For heavier stains, use a damp sponge with lukewarm water – without soap or detergent.

- Care for the leather regularly with colorless leather grease to maintain suppleness and protection.

- You can occasionally treat the canvas with special wax to refresh its water-repellent effect.

I received the backpack yesterday and was impressed by the quality and details. The backpackers had a hand in the design. I then had a question via email. It was answered really well and thoroughly within 16 minutes. Great! You'll quickly become a repeat customer.

After years of traveling with my Drakensberg weekender and still being extremely satisfied with it, and my laptop bag reliably accompanying me to the office every day, I decided to order this stylish backpack as well. What can I say?: Simply amazing quality, top-quality materials, a great design, and well-thought-out details! It won't be my last purchase from Drakensberg!
