Perfect little bag

I needed something to put all the crap I would carry in my pockets without having a large bag around my neck. This was perfect: my keys, phone, sunglasses, and few smaller items (pen, cough drops, etc.) all fit without a hitch. I almost forgot I had the bag on. Only my wallet stayed in my pocket. Result- easier to get things, much more comfortable than having all that stuff in my pants and jacket pockets.

Great small bag

The Waterfield Vitesse Sling is perfect for a small bag. I use it for tech essentials and a book on flights. Instead of pulling a bunch of items out of my personal carry-on/messenger, I just take out the Vitesse Sling, put it in the seatback pocket and use my stuff. I suspect my stuff remains cleaner by staying in the sling than directly in the setback pocket, as well. Bluntly, I'll probably have a local alterations shop remove the sling strap and use the material to add a handle. That's me, you do you. The size is right and craftsmanship is really, really good - no hanging threads, even when turned inside out. For day-to-day, it would probably make a good Every Day Carry but that's not me (having EDC in my car is close enough). I like it so much that I just purchased a Waterfield Vitesse Musette and laptop sleeve to downsize from a messenger for my personal carry-on. Waterfield's customer service is excellent. They upgraded the shipping (and cost) to two day in response to an e-mail with no hassle.

Works and looks great

Well made bag. Quick delivery. Waterfield designs quality is excellent. Primarily use the bag when riding my bike. Holds all the gear and keeps secure with a cobra buckle.

Absolutely LOVE IT!!

It's never hard to write reviews for SF Bags and Waterfield Designs. Again, this Vitesse sling is a hit with me. I didn't realize how much I needed this size bag. I can keep it inside my other VITESSE bags, or just grab and go when all I need is the sling. This bag is a winner with me. I've got both the blue and the brown waxed. I love them both.

THE VITESSE COLLECTION

Our Vitesse bags have an uncomplicated design, making each an ideal lightweight everyday carry. All are handcrafted from premium 15 oz. waxed canvas and feature quality hardware. These bags are built to last.

Vitesse bags highlight the natural beauty of waxed canvas and the enduring appeal of simple, straight-forward design. They are un-lined to show off the raw beauty of rugged waxed canvas.

The collection has expanded from messenger bags to include a Backpack, a Crossbody, a small Sling, a Duffel, and a Briefcase. See the Vitesse Collection here.

ELEGANTLY SIMPLE

The minimalist design and open interior of the Vitesse Sling lets you carry whatever you need in this versatile, lightweight pack.

HEAVY-DUTY 15 OZ. WAXED CANVAS

Not all waxed canvas bags are created equal. Lower quality bags use 6 oz. canvas. The majority designated as “durable” use 12 oz. canvas. At 15 oz., our waxed canvas exceeds what is commonly sold in the market, yet it's still lightweight. It has a naturally rugged, distressed look and can be re-waxed to freshen it up.

The canvas comes from a reputable U.S. mill that has produced these fabrics since 1930. This specialized textile is coated with Martexin Original Wax™ and shouldn't require much cleaning. Stains can be wiped off with a damp cloth.

HOW TO FRESHEN UP YOUR CANVAS

Keep your bag Vitesse Backpack looking new by applying wax when you think it needs a little refresh. Although you can use any wax, you may want to try Martexin Original Wax™ which was initially used to coat your canvas bag.
