Essential Duffel

I had been looking for a weekend/extra bag I could use solo or with my larger luggage. Most out there are too fancy in your face over priced that don’t represent my character. Having ordered a number of bags from WaterField I knew I needed to search out what met my needs there. I went with the Essential Duffel(black). It is perfect. The size is just right for me. I can slip it on the handle of my larger luggage and it goes well with my Sutter Tech Sling(Ballistic Nylon w/Black Leather). If I should need more room I can always use my Packable Duffel.

The large, open compartment and rugged ballistic nylon make this duffel perfect for all sorts of gear. I can put it down on rough terrain without worrying about it at all.

Already an amazing duffle, now in canvas

I already have this duffle in the black and red, which was already one of my favourite quick getaway bags. Now I have it in canvas and leather, it looks so stylish in these textiles. Probably should be a permanent fixture, even though it is nice to have an exclusive.

Pleased with the Limited Edition

When I saw that the Essential Duffel was available for a limited time in waxed canvas and chocolate leather I did not hesitate to order one. Full grain leather requires a bit of care but I like the Zen aspect of this. I am more mindful about my bags when they are made with this leather, which can get scratched and scuffed easily. It also looks absolutely stunning. And just like our lives, leather bags acquire a distinct patina and reveal a personalized history.

Waterfield Designs Essential Duffel review

The Gadgeteer - September 5, 2022

“I have a feeling the Waterfield Designs Essential Duffel is the kind of item you only buy once- unless a family member claims it for themselves and you’re forced to buy another.”

Design details

THE DUFFEL THAT STANDS UPRIGHT

 

This may be the only duffel that stands upright and keeps its shape while staying light at the same time. We accomplish this by inserting weightless foam in key areas for structure. 

 

So, the weight is evenly distributed,  and your bag won't sag. It's also much easier to pack and unpack. 

THE ESSENTIALS FAMILY  

 

The Essentials Collection is a line of lightweight bags with a streamlined design, smart detailing, and features that focus on each bag's functional essence. The minimalist design delivers high impact. 

 

For durability, we use our custom-made abrasion- and water-resistant ballistic nylon which stays looking new for many years. It withstands prolonged sun exposure so your bag will stay looking fresh and new. 

 

These multi-functional, everyday bags are available as a Duffel, Messenger Bag, Backpack, and Crossbody bags in three different sizes for the 11-inch iPad Pro, iPad Mini, and iPhone.
