Avoid the hassles of checking in luggage with the X-Air Backpack. This smart-looking carry-on fits neatly in the overhead bin, keeping your belongings nearby throughout your journey. It packs as much as a wheelie suitcase, and includes three compartments to keep tech gear, clothes, and frequently-accessed items organized.

Made of durable, lightweight, water-resistant X-Pac® textile with full-grain leather accents, the look is modern with a professional-meets-sporty vibe. It's so light that most of the bag's weight will come from the items you've packed.

All our products are crafted locally in our workshop by the most skilled sewing team in San Francisco.

Love this design and backpack overall. Price is definitely up there but what you're getting is premium and worth every cent!! It's also built here in the US not somewhere else. So I appreciate that and will comtiue to buy more products from Waterfield!!

Outstanding product. Insanely functional. Awesomely beautiful.

It does remind me however how much I tend to overpack

Very light weight but flimsy. Does not have the feel of the quality of your other products I have purchased.

The Gadgeteer - December 27, 2023

“WaterField Designs is building upon the success of the X-Air Duffel with the new X-Air Backpack, and it may just be your new favorite travel bag.”

WORK FROM ANYWHERE

We designed the X-Air Travel Backpack so you can easily get work done while on the road, especially in tight spaces. Three compartments keep your gear easily accessible: the back for your mobile office, the middle for clothing, and the front for travel essentials.

The front compartment is highly organized with plenty of pockets to keep your frequently-accessed items nearby.

The rear mobile office compartment has a padded laptop pocket, a tablet pocket, and additional pockets to organize accessories.

DETAILS MATTER

Keep dangling straps at bay by slipping them onto a discreet strap retainer included specifically for this purpose.

Your shoulder strap and hip strap can be neatly packed away until they're ready for use. A top leather handle lets you carry the backpack vertically, and two handles on either side lets you carry it horizontally.

CONVENIENT CLAMSHELL OPENING

The luggage compartment of the X-Air Travel Backpack has a clamshell opening, making it very to easy pack and un-pack. The gold liner makes it easy to see, and the adjustable straps keep your packed items in place during transit.

In a pinch, your backpack can also act as a convenient storage compartment for your clothes when your room is tight on space.

DURABLE AND LIGHT

We chose the X-Pac® laminate textile for the X-Air Collection because of its durability, water resistance, and light weight. Specifically designed for outdoor and rugged use, this material has an impressive strength-to-weight ratio.

The X-Pac® adds structure without bulk, making it the perfect material for the X-Air Backpack. The backpack keeps its shape when empty, and the material doesn't add much weight when full.

Meet the X-Air Collection, a line of lightweight, feature-rich carry-on bags for people who travel with their tech.

Made from durable, waterproof X-Pac® material, each piece in the collection supports travelers throughout their journey with thoughtful organization for easy access to essentials.
