Very limited

I love my other bag (Air Porter) from Waterfield - it feels like that one thought of everything. This Outback Duo feels like an incomplete first draft. If I put laptops in each of the sides - as intended - the bag has no give and the inner pocket only gets about 3/4 " wide. The side zippers really should have gone down the whole side - not stopped halfway. Also, if the bag is meant for 2 laptops, you've got to assume people will carry at least one charger. But again, with 2 laptops there is no room for a normal sized laptop charger.
I love the style and I love the materials. But the design makes some serious mistakes.

Squeaks by

I have a big DELL 17 inch lap top so I got this duo bag. It just barely makes it. I will stick with it, but I wish it was a bit bigger. Excellent bag otherwise.

Gift for my wife

I have bought two laptop sleeves before from Waterfield and appreciated the craftsmanship and design, so when I bought my wife a new laptop I found this bag to be the perfect design to carry not only the laptop but other small essentials in a durable, stylish case. It fit the bill perfectly and she loves it!

Amazing Bag

I’ve ordered several items from WaterField Designs in the last year and they’ve all been very high quality and exceeded expectations, but the Outback Duo Laptop Brief is the best bag I’ve ever had. It’s safely stores my MacBook Air and iPad Pro, and papers and accessories, while being small, stylish, and sturdy. I couldn’t be happier.

Perfect light weight bag for multiple devices!

The Outback Duo is fantastic for my 16” MacBook Pro and iPad Air with Magic Keyboard. There’s plenty of room for cables, chargers and other accessories and an extra interior pocket. The waterproof zipper and padded shoulder strap are signs of extra care and attention to detail from Waterfield.

Tested: Waterfield Outback Duo, a stylish way to carry both MacBook and iPad

BECAUSE CARRYING A LAPTOP + TABLET IS NORMAL

As its name implies, the Outback Duo is specifically designed to carry two devices. The Duo remains ultra lightweight and compact even when full. The main compartment makes efficient use of space, the pleated front pocket expands and contracts to minimize bulge, and the Supreme Suspension Strap makes for a light, comfortable carry.

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 Outback Duo, 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.
