I love it

What an amazing backpack! All my tech gear is perfectly organized. There is so much space.

Perfect for my tech

Exceptional craftsmanship. It has a compartment for my MacBook Pro and my iPad along with all the accessories. The slim edition I purchased still has room for my small notebook and even my portable CPAP machine. I love the orange interior so I can locate my black cables and other accessories.

I'm glad I bought this backpack.

I just had to write...

I just got back from a 2-week, 5-city Italian Adventure and I just had to write to rave about my new bag. Whether by train, plane, ferry, taxi, or by shuttle; in hotels and AirBnbs, this bag was amazing. The tech loadout I chose for the tech side worked perfectly in every situation, with easy access to the items I needed. And the spacious laptop/tablet side had more than enough room to pack multiple bottles of wine, a rain jacket, and more when traveling between cities! When coming back home, it was perfect for packing those delicate items that would have left too-much-to-chance if packed in checked luggage. And on top of all that, this must be the most comfortable backpack I've ever worn.

Perfect office bag

I got this to replace my 9 year old waterfield side bag. The old one still works, it just wasn't quite big enough for my needs. This bag does the job beautifully, with plenty of space and little pockets for all your cables and devices. I'm hoping it'll last me at least another 9 years!

Convenient Tech Organizer: A Reliable Backpack for Business Trips

I own several WaterField products, and the Tech Folio Backpack (standard size) has quickly become my go-to bag for organizing and storing my tech gear during business trips. The thoughtfully designed pockets are perfect for holding loose cables, chargers, power banks, and other gadgets, keeping everything neatly in place. What I love most about this bag is the convenience it offers; being able to carry everything in a backpack makes it incredibly easy to stay organized while on the move. Like all WaterField products, I’m confident this one will last a very long time.

TECH ORGANIZER + OFFICE BACKPACK

This backpack is designed for professionals who carry a lot of tech gear for their jobs. The tech folio compartment has multiple pockets to organize easy-to-lose items like dongles or SD cards, and larger pockets for cables and battery packs.  This folio dedicated for gadgets and small electronics ensures that you'll always be prepared with the right tools to troubleshoot the unexpected. 

 

The other side of the backpack is the office section with two padded pockets to protect two devices, similar to other WaterField backpacks. The spacious compartment also stores a water bottle and can be used for packing clothes and toiletries when embarking on short getaways. 

 

Both sides unzip all the way around for easy packing/un-packing. With the double zipper pulls, each side can also be secured with a small lock if needed. 

 

NEW MINIMALIST SIZE

 

For minimalists who carry fewer items, the new Slim size has a narrower office section. The tech folio section is the same as the Standard size. 

 

ALL-AROUND PROTECTION 

The Tech Folio Backpack is surrounded with light foam for structure and additional protection. This framework keeps the Backpack's profile sleek and clean, and when packed appropriately, also keeps the backpack upright. 

DETAILS THAT MATTER 

After twenty years of making stylish bags functional and comfortable for all-day use, we've incorporated small details that have big impact. 

 

The handle is wrapped in full-grain leather so the Tech Folio Backpack is comfortable to carry and won't dig into your fingers. The straps can be discreetly tucked away in the back when not in use. The side pleats of the front panel keep bulky items in check, and the  front pocket is secured with a strong magnet so you can easily slip your fingers inside to retrieve your items. 

 

Each compartment has internal top pockets so items inside can be easily retrieved by zipping open just a bit at the top, not all the way down.  And, waterproof zippers help secure everything inside. 

MORE TECH FOLIOS

Customers who participated in our Next Generation Gear Case Community Design helped develop a collection of products designed for carrying and organizing tech gear. 

 

The Tech Folio Backpack and the popular Tech Folio Brief are two results from that project.  They both have super-sized tech folio sections to accommodate multiple gadgets and electronics. 

HOW TO FRESHEN UP YOUR CANVAS

Keep your backpack looking new by applying wax when you think it needs a little refresh. Although any wax is applicable, you can use Martexin Original Wax which was initially used to coat your canvas bag. 

CARING FOR YOUR LEATHER AND WAXED CANVAS

 

If you have the waxed canvas and chocolate leather version of the Tech Folio Backpack, Gary shows how you can maintain these materials so they’ll look great over time. We use full grain Roughman Leather for your bag which has oils that respond well to heat.

 

Although this video is for the AirPods Max Shield Case, the maintenance also applies to your bag.
