DESIGNING THE PERFECT FIELD BAG
Step 1: Optimize the size, shape, and form so it sits comfortably on your back.
Step 2: Include organizational and easy-access features for essential items.
Step 3: Personalize the strap options to maximize individual comfort.
We designed the Field Sling and Field Backpack to carry and organize the gear you'll need for a day of exploration.
DESIGN DETAILS YOU'LL LIKE
The Field Sling strap attaches to heavy-duty D-ring and pivots as your body moves, keeping the Sling stable on your back for a more comfortable, ergonomic fit.
Choose the right or left side to carry your Field Sling. Simply unhook the strap from the bottom D-ring and re-hook it to the side that you prefer.
MEET THE FIELD SLING
Each WaterField Sling is tailored to fit your gear and body type. All are comfortable, lightweight and compact. Choose the style that best meets your needs and individual preference.
The full-sized Field Sling is a bit deeper than the slim Sutter Tech Sling, while the Sutter Sling Pouch is the smallest of the three.
MEET THE FIELD BACKPACK
The Field Backpack is designed for people of medium stature, and its compact size can hold 13-inch laptops.
The thinner, somewhat taller Sutter Slim Backpack has two padded compartments for carrying a laptop and tablet, while the mid-size Mezzo Laptop Backpack is slightly deeper than both and also has two padded device compartments.
