I’ve long loved Waterfield bags, but I’ve also always struggled to find one that felt genuinely *perfect*. I find the Pro Executive a little too big for daily use, and while I love the Sutter Slim, too often I found myself needing a little more room at the end of the day.

But this bag? It’s about as perfect as possible for my purposes. I bought it months ago and still feel that way. I love both the top and bottom pouches on the front, each secured by Waterfield’s new-ish heavy-duty zipper pulls. There’s nothing fancy about the design for either pocket: I can unzip them and grab stuff with no complications or problems or overly worry that something will fall out if I accidentally leave one pocket open while in a rush. (I admit that happens embarrassingly often with the Sutter Slim.)

The top pocket is the perfect spot for essentials like my wallet, keys, work badge, and AirPods—while the bottom one is great for larger things like my sunglasses and numerous other small things. I like that I often feel like I don’t even need to open the main compartment.

Inside, the main cavity can hold my MacBook and iPad while leaving plenty of room in there for other things I stuff in there throughout the day like my AirPods Max and stuff from the corner store. The main cavity also contains another quick-access pouch, which I find perfect for things like my cash wallet that I want to be a little more secure than the outside pocket.

Just in case I need more room than what my bag can hold, I keep a small collapsible bag in one of the side zippered pockets—where I also keep things like pens and charging cables. (I do kind of wish the pen pockets were inside the main cavity as with the Pro Executive, but I can live with this design.)

Weight distribution is extremely important to me, and I love that this bag never feels too heavy regardless of how much junk I stuff in it (and with my tech hardware-intensive job, this happens open). Much as with the Sutter Slim, the way it doesn’t extend too far from your back ensures that it’s always comfortable.

My only real quibble is that while Waterfield bags tend to be surprisingly comfortable without a sternum strap, I find I still need one for maximum comfort, so I’ve just attached one from Peak Design on the front shoulder straps. It almost looks like it goes with the bag and it makes SUCH a difference when I’m carrying a heavy load. If there’s any accessory I’d like to see from Waterfield, it’s its own sternum strap—but I suspect it may go against the design philosophy.

I absolutely love this bag, and I hate going without it when I need to use a different backpack—such as for hiking. It carries weight well, it looks great, and it’s also sublimely practical. Considering the materials used, it’s also pleasantly light. I’ll almost certainly be buying another one.

At first I thought it was a little pricey...but I really wanted that magnetic closure. It's totally worth what I paid for it. The quality is impeccable. Absolutely love the Waxed Canvas. After I received it I was so happy with it I went and bought the magnetic case for the OLED switch. Excellent craftsmanship and well done. I intend to get a wallet from Waterfield in the future.

It's been a couple of weeks since I got my Miles Laptop Backpack and I couldn't be happier with my purchase! Having used other bags from different companies in the past, I could immediately tell the dramatic shift to high quality materials with my Waterfield bag. Every detail seems to be meticulously crafted with the idea of sophistication and practicality. I have already been asked by a couple of my co-workers on where I got my bag and what usually follows is them asking for a close inspection on the materials.

I was in dire need of a backpack upgrade and now that I finally got a quality pack, I know I also found a company that I will keep going back to. Not only does Waterfield care about their products, but it is very apparent that they also care about their customers.

Overall, my experience with the bag and with customer support has been amazing and I will be definitely making another purchase in the near future!

Sleeves are sized well. Pockets are helpful. Strap length is good.

Just received it. Exactly what I wanted. A packable that fits my carry on and can expand. Travel regularly. Look forward to using it.

My first use for this bag was to go away for a weekend. In the bag were: wash bag, Fuji X100V camera, scarf, AirPods, charging wires and charger, passport, two long sleeved shirts, pair of shorts, pair of swimming shorts, swimming goggles, assorted socks and pants. There was still space for an iPad or laptop, but I was only away for three nights. It was arranged to get to the wash bag and passport easily. Perfect use-case scenario? I will use it as my ‘second’ bag on longer trips. Thanks Waterfield!

highly functional and classy looking. just what you expect from Waterfield

I made the shift from my old school leather brief to the Agile and I’m so happy I did. It is light, and has perfectly placed pockets and storage, right where I need them for my work and commute. I love the design. Mine has the chocolate leather and ballistic nylon combo. It gets a lot of looks.
And I love it! Thank you Gary and team!

I'm already the proud other of the regular Tech Pocket, and I love it!
I decided I might be a bigger one to use for the custom Ferris Sweep that I built, so I purchased a Tech Pocket Plus. It turns out that it's to big and the regular Tech Pocket is already big enough.
Despite that, I don't regret my purchase as I like the quality of products sold by Waterfield. Also, it looks like I might need to purchase another one soon. But I'll save that story for the review of that one.

AirPods Max Shield Case

Stitching fit and finish are all top notch. Padding is enough to feel secure without taking away the devices portability.

Light and spacious as advertised. Magnetic clips are really cool. Excellent warranty, but the quality is so good you will probably never need it.

Title says all that needs to be said. I got this bag to be a joint use for travel and a work bag. The size is small enough where I can use it everyday but spacious enough where I can fit what needs to be packed for a flight or an overnight trip. I love it. I saw the other reviews about being too wide, I completely disagree. Mine also stands on it's own perfectly well.

I purchased my sleeve as a minimalist means to protect my MacBook while carrying it to meetings around Seattle. I wanted a zipper-free case that would safely envelop my laptop and carry my charger, cell phone, and earbuds.

The Folio Laptop Sleeve does this wonderfully. The exceptional design, build, and materials make using it a reall joy.

Terrific product, Waterfield team - thank you!

The best backpack I´ve ever had for my computer. Everything fits perfectly inside and together with the Tech Pocket everything is organized. It’s a bag that I use every day for school, and the kids think that my bag looks cool.
