Love this thing

Super durable, tons of storage space, fits under the airline seat - wish I’d bought it much sooner!

This is the best bag ever made

I love this bag so much. It’s beautiful and will last forever. I own three WaterField products and the other two are as good as new 6 years later.

"The One"

I've had this bag for a few months now and must say I believe I've found "the one".
Tumi? Not bad. Saddleback? Great material almost good design. Waterfield? Darn near perfect. Side bottle pockets that actually accommodate Yeti bottles. Sizing is just right….roomy but compact. Smooth zippers. Great interior pocket design. Overall just a plain intelligent design. Having a bit of a briefcase/murse fetish, I'm surprised my wife has not noticed me carrying the same bag every day now since purchase. Well done!

Great bag! Well built

Phenomenal Bag! More Briefcase than Overnighter!

I switched to the X-Air Duffel. Larger and better suits my particular needs of an overnighter with ample tech. space.

FITS UNDER MOST SEATS

The Air Porter Carry-on incorporates many details requested by our customers who frequently fly. It fits under most airline seats, with enough space for leg room, and can store the items you'll need during a flight.

"It's obvious that a lot of time and thought went into every aspect of every compartment; every space is efficient and purposeful." - Erin G., Tempe, US

TAILORED FOR AIR TRAVEL

Designed by frequent flyers for frequent flyers, the Air Porter includes features that make air travel convenient and comfortable. Multiple organizational pockets (some you can see through), an RFID-blocking front pocket, and an expandable water bottle holder are just some of the details you'll find useful as you prepare for your journey.

MATERIALS MADE TO LAST

Air travel is demanding and often very harsh on your belongings. That's why we offer the Air Porter Carry-On in three long-lasting, rugged fabrics: durable 1680 denier ballistic nylon, heavy-duty 15 oz waxed canvas, and lightweight ECOPAK™ EPLX 450RS.

HOW TO FRESHEN UP YOUR CANVAS

Keep your bag 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 Air Porter Carry-On Bag, Gary shows how you can 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 maintenance also applies to your bag.
