User Reviews & Stories
I got the small double compartment on ballistic and black. I wanted a duffle to go with my Bolt Backpack (another incredible product from Waterfield) for work trips (under a week). I actually ended up purchasing BOTH small and large to try them both side by side. The Small fits about a weeks worth of clothes. I’m an XL - I fit 6 shirts, socks, underwear, a thick sweater, a dress shirt and a polo in packing cubes and there was still a bit of room at the top (though I couldn’t fit my dip kit, but I’m sure smaller kits would fit). It was pretty tight, but I had no trouble closing zippers or anything. The Double compartment duffle had all kinds of room to spare for the same amount of stuff!
The Large is MUCH bigger than I anticipated… I kind of wish they had a size in between, so I could have a bit more room with the really compact/professional feel!
That being said, if you’re not anticipating traveling out of the US and you don’t fill it to the brim (which would be difficult anyways!), the Large might be the way to go! I might go with the small though, since I’ll mostly be using it for shorter trips, or pairing it with checked luggage.
EXCELLENT quality from Waterfield! 100% would recommend!
Read moreI purchased my 2nd Bolt Duffel bag from Waterfield, and it is every bit as good as the first bag (still in use and going strong). These bags last. This Bolt Duffel bag fits my weekend air flight carry on needs perfectly. Highly recommended. Thanks Waterfield!
Read moreGreat bag for work! I love that straps are long enough that I can wear them over my shoulder. Nice feature that each compartment can be filled to full capacity of the bag.
Read moreThis time I opted for The Bolt Duffel in waxed canvas with chocolate leather. Sharp aesthetics, intelligent design, exceptional quality... everywhere I go it turns heads. As a veteran user of Waterfields products, I've grown accustomed to compliments and inquiries on my gear bags from my fellow travelers, and I'm pleased to recommend to them a company like Waterfield Designs.
Read moreI'm a full time gigging musician and I have to lug lots of pedals, cables and gear with me every time I go to work. I spend more than a week looking for hours a day for the right gig back. The problem is most gig bags are branded with the bright and tacky colors of their company. I play weddings and 5-star hotels, corporate gigs and sometimes pretty fancy spots. I don't want to be a spokesperson for the company of the brand of my bag with a giant red alligator or eyesore of a logo, I have my own brand to represent when I'm performing and I want even my bags to match the aesthetic of my brand.
Most cable bags have lots of compartments and straps for storing many cables and miscellaneous items, but the bag quality itself is kind of crap. It's marketed towards musicians but the actual bags are often sub-standard but musicians keep buying them because they are the only bags specifically for us. I wanted something better. Something that I could carry all my gear in but that would actually look sleek. A full leather bag would be a bad idea since it would get scuffed up so much from the constant lugging.
When I came across Waterfield I was freaking out because aesthetically it was exactly what I was wanting. It was the best of both worlds - the durability of a professional gig bag but with just enough leather to make it look cool. It looked so much better than all the other bags that I was looking at. Then I read the reviews on it.....I was in. After getting this bag for myself, I have loaded to the brim with gear. It sometimes must weigh 50 pounds or more. The light rusty orange colored inner lining is perfect for spotting cables and things trying to hide in the darkness. The outside is clean and classy and looks uber professional. It has enough pockets and dividers to store all my pedals and cables. The bag is a work of art.
Sometimes I literally just sit in my car and sigh looking at the bag because this bag is so awesome. Get it.
And to Waterfield - you should seriously make a musician series of these bags. You'd make a killing. No company comes even close to this quality, but musicians have no idea you exist as a company. Reach us. Help our tacky bag problem. Musicians need better bags.
I 100% recommend this bag. It's the coolest bag I've ever owned. It's expensive yes, but it's better than pay alot up front for one thing you will have for decades or your lifetime than a little bit here and there for pieces of crap that break so often you're essentially renting them.
Go Waterfield or go home.

WaterField's Bolt Duffel Bag Delivers Style and Function
Newsweek - August 9, 2021
“As corny as it sounds, the Bolt Duffel Bag is more than a pretty face––it gets the job done.”

WaterField Designs takes the wraps off their new Outback Duffel bags
The Gadgeteer - May 14, 2014

SIZE GUIDE

- Sized to maximize most airline carry-on restrictions.
TWO SEPARATE COMPARTMENTS
Now you can keep clean clothes apart from your soiled ones. Or, keep your apparel away from accessories.
"You should get the dual-zipper version. It's the best part! Each side can take over ~75% of the internal volume with the extra fabric in the divider. It's a clever, effective bit of organization that doesn't really detract from the main use for a duffel. You can overstuff the "back" pocket with bulky compressible items like clothes and still have useful volume for a dopp kit, shoes, electronics, etc. Less digging and less re-packing mitigates the more annoying parts about duffels." - Matthew C., San Francisco
