What is the difference between full-grain and genuine leather backpacks?

 Full-grain leather is the highest quality grade, using the entire outer hide with natural grain intact. It is the most durable, develops a rich patina over time, and resists moisture better than lower grades. Genuine leather is a lower grade that has been sanded and treated, making it thinner and less durable. All Steel Horse Leather backpacks are made exclusively from full-grain leather.
