Love Waterfield stuff but…

So this is my second Waterfield product (also have the exec briefcase) and it is a beaut!. Great fit and finish. Gorgeous materials. I would, however, have loved some additional interior pockets in the main compartment. A zipped spot for small items, cards, AirPods, etc. I can throw in a zipped bag but it’s not the same. The main compartment is huge and if I load it up, things will just get a bit jumbled. I woudl also like more of a locking mechanism for the back slide in area. It opens from both sides so it’s a little vulnerable to pickpockets. I would love to keep my passport, phone etc in there but it’s not secure enough.

It’s the perfect size for large daily carry, light travel, or as a personal item. It fits in well in my office environment as well.

Huge inside for a fairly compact bag. The back and straps padding are great, the bag feels lighter than it is due to how comfortable the strap feel is. Have taken it on a couple trips and has been very creative from a practical usability perspective. Only two small concerns in what I still see as a 5-star product: (1) the fit under a Delta A320 seat is a little tight and you might scuff the leather facing; and (2) the forward large pocket is big but the curvature of the bag limits the opening size - would be nice if it was a bit wider. Other openings are quite large and there are lots of usable spaces to tuck small and large items in.

Very very nice

This backpack is just high quality. I am super picky about certain products I buy. I took some time evaluating the market for backpacks and saw this one and immediately liked it. It is perfect for everyday use and is definitely a product that fits with a cool style. I was thrown off by the goldish/yellow color for the inside, but that was only in the pictures. It came in and I loved it right away. Great product, highly recommend.

Best Backpack I own

I love the quality of this bag! The many different compartments for all my gear is really great. The only thing I would change about this bag is I wish they had options for the interior color. The yellow/gold is nice but I would prefer a different color. Other than that I would highly recommend this bag! Very high quality and feels like something I’m going to have and use for a very long time.
