Want to love it...i love it... but

My work consist of me traveling all over US performing technology integration. Because of this, I must carry all my tech with me. I'm constantly cycling in and out Laptops, second screens, speaker for conference calls/presentations, portable projectors, docking stations, multiport chargers, powerbanks and all the proprietary cables & adapters that tech devices i'll need to carry. The ability of this backpack to organize them how i need them is uncanny. Definitely checked the boxes of functionality when deciding to purchase. It sure beat having to stuff way too many tech pouches in a backpack. Though I love me some tech pouches, the load out at the end of each day just takes too long. Organize gear you place in pouch then organize how you pack the pouch. Then forgetting which pouch is which even when you purposely have different color pouches.
I like the access and capacity this bag affords you. I love the look and marriage of materials. It looks professional because of the fabrics and leather. Has a good nod to heritage roots while also appealing to some modern tastes.
It's a comfortable wear but also functional.
I want to love the bag, I do love the bag, but...it's not quite... something or other. Let me explain. It excels at packing out in an organized manner. It excels at packing a large capacity. It excels at giving the the business vibe due to materials... but also fails at keeping the same vibe. The patina formed on the leather is something to admire. The story the leather tells is a work of art.
But the ability to hold it's structure is it's downfall. The bag is constantly wanting to fold on itself if not fully packed out. Self stands fine. But if you carry any tech with weight the structure collapses. We're not talking packing unreasonable weight... it still needs to be travel friendly and comfortable which it excels at. Anyhow this structure flaw leaves bag looking frumpy. Frumpy does not exude serious business. Frumpy does not exude refined... command respect, or put together. Though internally organized to the 9s, externally frumpy comes off as disheveled.
Sigh.... i love this bag. I adore this bag and the story the leather tells. I want to love it, but it needs to support me giving the business the business... confidently. Yes they are a projection of self. Isn't that half of why we get these bags? Are these quality? Yes. It's just missing that last little bit to make it magic.

A game changer

I bring a ton of stuff with me everywhere I go, so keeping it all organized usually feels like a battle. The Tech Folio Tank has so many dedicated pouches and zippers that everything actually stays tidy and right where I need it. Honestly, it’s one of the few bags I’ve tried that can fit my whole daily setup without bursting, and the overall quality is super solid.

My perfect one bag solution

This Tech Folio Tank backpack ended up being the perfect fit for me. The organization is absolutely tremendous! Having a dedicated spot for all the items I carry makes life so much easier – no more digging through a bottomless pit backpack with no organization or a separate tech pouch. The materials used in this bag are on another level with nice full grain leather and a ballistic nylon, I’m sure this bag will handle everything I can throw at it. The interior even has a nice gold color so all the items stored inside can be seen easily. Even the interior zippered pockets are made with a nice translucent material, not a flimsy mesh, that allows you to see the items. The total amount of usable space in this bag is something I haven’t been able to achieve elsewhere. It holds my Lenovo Legion 7i, iPad Pro 13 inch, all of my accessories, including the laptops large power brick, leaving plenty of room to spare. I even did a test run and found that I can fit my 3 days of clothes when I travel for work with all of those items which is perfect for me! I also enjoy that the luggage passthrough allows the bag to stay vertical, that has always been a must have for me. The one thing I am interested in seeing if I can fit it under an airplane seat. My research shows that it will fit perfectly, but that will be tested soon. Overall, I am very happy with the purchase of this backpack and I’m already looking into what I might add next!

Waterfield Designs Tech Folio Tank Backpack Unboxing

Game Rant - May 3, 2025

“This spacious and stylish pack provides more than enough room for everything the traveling gamer needs!”


Design details

THE LARGEST LAPTOP BACKPACK WE MAKE

 

The Tech Folio Tank Backpack is a large laptop backpack designed for gamers and power users. Over the years we've had requests for a large laptop backpack or a big laptop bag for 17 inch or 18 inch laptops, so we designed one just for you.

For gamers, there's room to include all the accessories you need for your entire set up — headset, cooling pad, and and all your other gaming peripherals. 

 

 

 

ULTIMATE TECH GEAR ORGANIZER
 

A separate, full-length tech folio compartment has abundant pockets to keep your tech accessories organized. Large, open pockets hold bulky items, padded pockets protect fragile items,  and transparent Monolite® mesh zippered pockets keep small accessories easy to spot quickly. 

Keep everything you need together in one place so you're prepared at a moments notice to go into action. 

 

 

 

 



 

SMALL DETAILS.  BIG IMPACT. 


You'll appreciate the Tank Tech Folio Backpack's thoughtful ergonomic details specially designed to keep you comfortable when carrying big, powerful, 17 inch or 18 inch laptops and their accessories.

 

A full-grain leather wrap softens over time to conform to the shape of your hand. A sternum strap balances weight distribution and stabilizes your fully-packed bag. Shoulder straps can be tucked away to keep a clean profile. 
 

For convenience, the front pocket has a magnetic opening so your hand just slips in. Dual-sided waterproof YKK zippers make it easy to open the backpack from the right, left, or center. The main compartment has a wide opening for easy access.  As a precaution, the double pulls can be secured with a small lock (not included).  

 

 

ALL-AROUND PROTECTION 

The Tech Folio Tank Backpack has light foam on the back and bottom to add structure and protection. When packed, the foam, also helps the backpack stand upright. 

TECH FOLIO COLLECTION

 

WaterField Tech Folios prioritize organizing cables, dongles, and accessories as well as your laptop and work gear by having a separate section dedicated to these items.

HOW TO FRESHEN UP YOUR CANVAS

Keep your backpack looking new by applying wax when you think it needs a little refresh. Although any wax is applicable, you can use Martexin Original Wax which was initially used to coat your canvas bag. 

CARING FOR YOUR LEATHER AND WAXED CANVAS

 

If you have the waxed canvas and chocolate leather version of the Tech Folio Backpack, let Gary show you how to maintain these materials so they’ll look great over time. We use full grain Roughman Leather for your bag which has oils that respond well to heat.

 

Although this video is for the AirPods Max Shield Case, the same maintenance techniques also apply to your bag.
