NEW! Packable Messenger Bag

THE BACKSTORY

The foundation of the Packable Bag Collection is the wrinkle-free material that turns any of the packable bags to a professional-looking, lightweight bag. 

In this video, Gary explains the features of a WaterField Packable bag, starting with the custom-made, magical material. The Packable Backpack is an example.  

THE MAGICAL MATERIAL

Working with a community of 1000+ customers, we set out to design packable bags for travel and everyday use.

We developed a custom material that combined Taslan — a modern, high-tech woven fabric that feels good and substantial — with a layer of tricot mesh for structure and added a water-resistant coating. 

All WaterField Packable Bags use this durable, lightweight textile to get that clean, professional look, even after being stuffed or folded.   

DETAILS MATTER 

Thoughtful details set the Packable Messenger apart from mass-market packable bags. In addition to the wrinkle-free material, it has premium components that are standard in Waterfield bags, like the 1.5" nylon strap and waterproof YKK zipper.  

The wider strap makes it more comfortable to carry, and can easily be adjusted while wearing the bag to ensure a proper fit.  The top quality YKK zipper helps keep water out. 

These features let you easily convert the Packable Messenger from a use-once-in-a-while packable bag to an everyday carry. 
 

HOW TO FOLD

The Packable Messenger folds into its own pocket for easy storage. Unfolded, the wrinkles disappear and Packable Messenger can be used as a stylish everyday carry. 

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

2. Fold the sides and strap toward the middle. 

3. Roll from the bottom toward the pocket.

4. Insert the roll into the pocket.

 

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. 

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 is expandable to accommodate last minute souvenirs, and the Packable Messenger is a nice everyday carry. 

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 ended up creating a collection. See the process from start to finish here.
