As usual a great bag.

Currently only had the bag for a week and am in the middle of my first trip with this bag to Europe. It holds a lot, but was a bit too wide to fit under the airplane seat in front of me. Had to force squeeze, but got it there. Just a great bag.

Great bag for those that like the best

I hadn’t heard of Waterfield till I saw one bag for the PS Vita on a YouTube video. I immediately loved the bag and took it everywhere to protect my Vita. I have had a few backpacks for my work computers and a great coach briefcase for my home laptop. On a business trip my work was asking what we would like for a new laptop backpack. I did my research and came up with the Pro Executive Backpack. It has the right amount of storage for the laptop, folio, portable monitor, power brick and cables, and yes my Vita with case and space for drinks, batteries, travel docs. Everything fits perfectly and looks and feels premium. Btw, my work balked at the price, that’s okay, I bought it for my home laptop anyway. One word of caution though, I’m using the new Razer Blade 16. It fits perfectly in the backpacks laptop sleeve. I like to put it in the optional matching 16 inch folio though, and that is a very tight fit. I wish the folio just had about 1-2 mm of additional width and height. It literally only needs that minor change to be perfect. In any case, I do love my bags and they protect my gear and look stylish. I have only gotten compliments. Now for a matching Analog Pocket bag…

Love it! Great Quality!

This bag isn’t cheap but the quality is outstanding. I am proud to carry this bag around……nicest backpack I have ever seen.

Excellent backpack

Love this backpack - it has an amazing amount of room in it. The bag is designed in a way that stuff I need while traveling is easy to grab without taking it off my back fully. I love that it stands up when sat down. I have no complaints!

Love it!

My last SFbags briefcase lasted 10+ yrs. Was finally time for a new one. Love the Exec Laptop Backpack. Beautiful bag, high quality, very spacious. I use it everyday for work and plan to use it instead of suitcase for weekend trips.
