Traveling with your tech just got a lot easier with the X-Air Duffel. To keep you organized, two compartments separate clothes from tech gear and additional pockets keep items easy to access. This Travel Duffel fits under most airline seats and maximizes the personal-item size limit.

Didn’t fit under the seat

The bag was great, but it didn’t fit under the seat, so had to stay in the overhead compartment, which was less than ideal.

X-Air Duffel - Waxed Canvas

Love it! Fits everything I need and then some. Looks great, too! Feels very durable. Fits underneath the seat when flying.

X-Air Duffle

It's the best carry-on I’ve ever purchased. Kudos to your designer and quality control. I don’t know why anyone would purchase anything other than Waterfield unless the size didn’t quite work for them. Thank you!

Fantastic As Duffel or Briefcase

I know this bags is marketed as a duffel, but my wife and I both bought one of these recently and are using them as our briefcase type bag that fits under the seat when flying. We both love it. After a short learning curve as to where to put things compared to the previous ones we were using, we both found these super functional, and it has created more space, more functional spaces, and is lighter. Really well thought out. So a real winner.
