Appearance
With its canvas outer shell, antique bronze clasps, and accents of genuine leather, this field bag has hints of the look and feel of a classic call back to what I would expect to find in my family’s hunting gear from generations past. Stylistically it’s straightforward and simple yet offers plenty of well-thought-out storage without the bulk.
Durability
You can see in the comparison of these Waxwear Field Bags, the brown version has seen many more days in the field compared to the green. Thorns and briers, water, snow, and sun. From being tossed into truck floorboards with construction debris to the bottoms of boats and duck blinds this bag shows little to no wearing on the bottom or corners of the canvas. There is some slight staining from blood on the top flap due to my lack of wiping it down after the season, but, to me, it just adds to the lived-in look. If this isn’t your style Beretta’s Waxwear technology allows for quick and simple clean-up. Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth while in the field or after returning from the hunt and you’re good to go.
After years of hard use with no upkeep, all the zippers still operate smoothly and the leather shows no signs of cracking, splitting, or peeling.
Space/size
Beretta chose the reliable YKK zippers and tagged them with genuine leather pulls in chocolate brown. The bag also includes a removable genuine leather luggage tag with the unmistakable Beretta logo stamp. For more branding, Beretta chose to add leather logos on the top flap and side pocket as well as an embroidered Beretta name on the back. Recognizable but without being too flashy or over the top.
Cleaning?
As I mentioned, these bags can be sprayed off or hand washed and the canvas holds up. On the brown, there are some hints of blood stains after several seasons of no maintenance. There are also some mild mud stains that are not overly noticeable, especially in the color tones offered. With a quick rinse under the warm water, the majority of the mess is gone.
