Kargo Senda Review
"Hand Built USA"
Handmade in Colorado, the Senda is a well built bag for the money. Lots of organization and solid materials.

What I like
- A beefy, boxy bag. Simple materials, but really well built. Handmade in Colorado.
- Canvas-like fabric, not your typical nylon Cordura.
- Quick access pocket, flat front pocket, water bottle pocket and a little secret zipper on the back.
- Solid straps with a bit of mesh, a good handle, and water-sealed zips all over.
- Really capable. My son used it as his school bag for a long time and it held up.
- It's what I'd reach for to replace my old favorite, the Topo Core Pack.
Watch for
- Organization inside is basic. It's mostly a box you carry on your back.
