John L. (New York, United States)
Great travel backpack!

Very pleased with the design and quality of this backpack. It’s beautifully made, super light, comfortable, holds plenty, has excellent water bottle pockets, looks great, and stays amazingly wrinkle-free. The outside zipper pocket with key leash is very useful. I’d love a brighter-colored liner, and maybe an extra inch of finger room on the grab handle, but otherwise it’s just about perfect as a travel backback.

Perfect for small addition to work travel

Was looking for a small foldable bag that was professional to use when going to work conferences or meetings. I like to use a larger bag I can fit under airplane seat for a 2 day trip as I don’t like using a roller bag if avoidable. This gives flexibility to pack along and attach to the main bag or put inside for use when on the trip! Folds well and looks good

Design details

THE MAGICAL MATERIAL

With input from over 1000 customers, we set out to design a packable bag ideal for both travel and every day. 

 

To support multiple uses, we created a custom-made material that combines Taslan — a modern, high-tech woven fabric that feels good and substantial — with a layer of tricot mesh for structure and a water-resistant coating. 

 

This durable, lightweight textile still looks crisp and unwrinkled even after it has been stuffed or folded.   

A PACKABLE BAG FOR EVERY DAY

The Packable Backpack squishes down quickly and folds into its own pocket. Weighing less than a pound, it's designed for using in a pinch or for every day.

 

For extra comfort, you'll find features not found on most packable bag, like a strap lined with moisture-wicking mesh, interior lining, and pockets secured with waterproof zippers.

 

Good luck keeping this Packable Backpack packed up. 

HOW TO FOLD

 

1. Lay the Packable Backpack flat and take out the interior pocket. 

2. Fold into thirds toward the middle. Be sure to include the straps. 

3. Roll from the bottom toward the pocket.

4. Turn the pocket inside out and flip the roll into the pocket.

5. Zip it up and go.

THE PACKABLE BAG COLLECTION

These bags are designed to be both packable for taking on trips and usable for daily carry. The WaterField Packable Collection uses custom-made lightweight, durable, water-resistant material that stays crisp and wrinkle-free when unpacked.  This gives all the bags a clean, professional look. 

All the Packables fold into their own pockets so they can be stashed in your luggage without taking up much room. The Packable Backpack can hold small tablets and laptops in their own protective sleeve. The Packable Duffel expands to accommodate multiple items.

YOU MADE IT HAPPEN

We asked our community what their ideal packable bag would include. They told us they wanted the convenience of a packable bag with the functionality of a regular WaterField bag. 

 

Using the right textile was key, so we set about creating one that combined packability with style.

 

The community also had different ideas of the type of packable bag they wanted, so we created a collection. See the process from start to finish here.
