Fantastic bag. Absolutely beautifully made. Very stable when coupled with strap.
Exactly what I was looking for, the strap my sling bag came with was narrow and hurt my neck and shoulder. I was worried how well it would work with the rectangular shape of the buckles on my bag, but it it has worked perfectly. Very comfortable and the underside grips to your should very well. The elasticity distributes the weight of my bag and absorbs my movement very well.
Love this pouch! Trying to convince Waterfield Designs to use the Forza color material for a MacBook sleeve as well. It’s my favorite color/material combo they have. Much better than the leather or waxed canvas. Please make more items in Forza green, blue and red!
Great space and so comfortable to carry. Holding its shape and standing on its own is such a convenience, especially at work. And of course, I love the look of it. I was walking around work today like a kid with a new bike showing it to my friends
Great everyday carry bag. Quality is excellent. Hold my wallet, AirPods, batter pack, cellphone, and a pair of sunglasses. Could probably fit a little more, but I like to maintain the slim profile.
I love this gear pack. It is extremely well made, highly functional, and looks great. As soon as I got this, I ordered a computer sleeve to match it. I’m been very impressed with WaterField, and I love that the products are made in San Francisco. I
I’ve been looking for a stylish and elegant bag for a while now, looking through all the other major (and overly expensive) brands as well, but they all look the same to me. Then I stumbled upon this guy. Immediately fell in love, and despite all the difficulties with getting stuff shipped across the big water, I couldn’t be happier with every little detail of this Executive bag. Really appreciate it and please keep doing what you're doing!
Great quality. Love the thicker canvas from the old version. Makes it a touch more rugged. Only real complaint is the bottom part of the latch always slides down to the largest settinf, due to its weight. I miss the old leather-and-peg latch, since that could be closed with one hand. New one requires two hands, so i often just let it hang open. Still the best mussette/messanger on the market, though
Beautiful case. Love the leather feel, smells wonderful. Magnets are very strong. Highly recommend.
Received my bag last week and then immediately went out of the country for 5 days. I was praying it would work for my needs and it was great. I wanted a bag to keep things out of my pockets, but didn’t want to have to lug around a laptop sized messenger bag everywhere, and this fit that need perfectly. I’m 6’3” and the strap still had tons of length to find a comfy spot. The construction is very solid and sturdy, but not so tough that it feels like a brick and won’t flex. And the zippers feel strong and have a nice lining around them, I assume to help keep out water. For size transparency, I took an iPhone 15 pro max, small card holder, passport, AirPods, cash, and a car key. I bought a couple small magnets and a pen and small notepad while walking that also fit in. That managed to just about overflow it, but that’s all I really needed to worry about.
All in all, great quality, perfect size for everyday use, looks great and feels great. Just bear in mind the small size of it if you’re looking to carry anything bigger than a phone in addition to your EDC items.
This is an excellent case for your watch and its accessories, combining both style and functionality. However, an enhancement could be made with a slightly thicker leather for an even more luxurious feel!
I have been a major fan of Waterfield for some years and when I looked into upgrading my backpack, I knew where to go. I just did a massive trip across the country and this bag is an absolute upgrade! The look is amazing, the quality is absolutely great, and the functionality cannot be beat! I look forward to enjoying this bag for the years to come.
I love that my Analogue pocket can fit fairly easily with a tpu clear case on it. I also have space for 3-4 gba cartridges in the front pouch. Really satisfied!
I use this to carry a small SSD, a few USB sticks and a couple cables. It's a good size for the gear I carry and is attractive. Haven't tested the waterproofing yet :-))
I love the design of this bag. The big pocket is spacious and conpartmentalized intelligently. I also love having too small pockets in the front since I usually carry smaller things around anyway.
The only problem I can forsee is that the little pocket things on the side appear sealed and don't have a drain, so if it rains, it they might become filled with water. The big pocket zipper is located higher on the bag than other backpacks I've had and is above where water could collect, so the belongings in the bag should be fine even if they get filled up.
I also wish the straps were more similar to that on my air porter bag rather than a normal backpack, but that doesn't have any effect on the functionality of the bag itself.
Overall, it seems like a great bag, and I look forward to using it more!
The backpack has a perfect blend of function along with material to match. Added the additional folio which is icing on the cake. It holds a small laptop along with a 13" m4 ipad with magic keyboard. Easy to access either while the folio is still in the backpack.
I have been looking for the perfect carry-on bag for years. With the Air Porter, I have finally found what I have been looking for. I just completed my first trip with this bag and I couldn’t be happier.
I now have two Essential Crossbody bags: the iPad mini size (a couple of years old), and the 11-inch iPad size (this purchase). The smaller is very basic, with an unpadded pocket that barely fits the iPad mini with Apple Pencil, no internal hand pockets, and an undivided front zipper pocket. Not the worst experience, but I wouldn't mind having more organization. The larger, though? Padded pocket for an 11-inch iPad (mine's a Pro with Magic Keyboard), a couple of internal hand pockets for extra organization, and separation in the front pocket as well (including a safe space for keys attached to the key tether). So all the issues of the smaller version are addressed. The larger version comes with a 1.5-inch strap with cam lock, an upgrade in comfort and stability over the smaller version's 1-inch strap.
I chose the black ballistic nylon, no fancy color, for both, as that's my esthetic. And I'm glad I did. Waterfield's black ballistic is my favorite of their body materials, with great texture, a bit of luster when the light plays across it, and sturdy structure. While it's not made to fit everything in the world, either size makes enough room for glasses case, contact lens solution, sunscreen — the essentials for me — plus some cables, charger, all the tech doodads. And even when packed, the bag stays light and slim. Very easy to carry around.
Made in USA, top quality materials, excellent craftsmanship. This bag is simple, can be used for tons of other stuff besides cycling as well, I take my daughter to swimming lessons and use this for that also, and on the weekends when I go cycling, this bag keeps everything organized and conveniently accessible. Great product and well made. Support American business.
I like the case and the X-Pac fabric is perfect for it. The magnetic closure works well. I would love to see a wider size that would fill a jersey pocket and carry a little more "stuff".
I got the Grizzly leather in waxed canvas and am in love! It looks like a cute baguette style bag so no one suspects it has my switch 😉. Plus I love that the rear inside pocket perfect fits my phone, and I can easily put my card wallet in the zipped back pocket et voila! I don’t need to carry multiple bags! My cat knocked the bag to the ground and the padding completely cradled the switch, so I know it’s a well cushioned bag. Plus the option for the waxed canvas is perfect - I live in the PNW and it rains here often and it’s nice knowing that I have that waterproof barrier (I highly recommend waxed canvas for all bags up here - they keep everything dry and toasty).
