Absolutely love it

This is my first foray into a sling bag, and this was a perfect product for me to start. As always the quality is excellent, and this bag is the perfect size to carry around the essentials without having to lug around a full backpack. I have my 11-inch M4 iPad Pro in a Waterfield Magnetic Sleeve inside the Packable Sling Bag and it fits great. There is plenty of room for other cables, chargers, and accessories in the front pouch or the inside pouch. And there is even plenty of other room in the main bag for other things I might need while on the go. Here is a really niche use case, but this bag is perfect for it: I coach football, and love being able to use the iPad to show video while on the field. This bag is perfect to have with me while coaching and be able to have quick access to the iPad. But when wearing the bag, it’s not a bulky as a full backpack. Plus it’s rugged enough to just throw off into the grass, if I need to demonstrate something without the bag. Overall, this was a great purchase.

One of the best things I’ve purchased in years

I have been using a drawstring pouch that I wore over both of my shoulders for way too long. The material itself was out and it looked like it had seen better days

I struggle finding something to replace it with. I wanted to do something nicer and classier than the simple drawstring bag.

I liked what I saw when I found this bag. I have to say the reality is even better than the picture

Plus, I’ve had numerous compliments on the back itself since I purchased it

Super happy with it and thank you for making it

Love it!

Great customer service. I had questions and they were answered right away. The sling is just what I was looking for!

Quality

It's nice being able to get something where it doesn't feel like any corners were cut. Top to bottom quality materials, functions exactly as intended, and holds way more than you think.

Great travel pack

Would like more specific internal organization -- such as just for few pens. Maybe a integrated soft-lined slip in pouch/sleeve for glasses, as well. Fabric is top-notch. Packing it down is more challenging that it looks.

WaterField Packable Sling review

AndroidGuys - April 5, 2022

“The Packable Sling is a sling backpack that holds its form well, thanks to a solid construction with minor padding inside and reinforced stitching.”

SIZE GUIDE

THE MAGICAL MATERIAL 

With input from over 1000 customers, we set out to design a packable bag ideal for both travel and everyday use. 

 

We created a custom-made material that combines Taslan — a high-tech woven fabric that feels natural and substantial, with a layer of tricot mesh for structure, and a water-resistant coating. 

 

This durable, lightweight textile remains crisp and unwrinkled even after it has been stuffed or folded. 

THE GOLDILOCKS-SIZED BAG

The Packable Sling Bag is perfectly sized to hold your daily essentials. Worn on the back or chest, it's not too big or too small, not too wide, or too narrow.  You can wear it to run errands, or take it to important meetings. 

 

It squishes down easily so you can conveniently store it in your luggage without taking too much space. 

 

 


 

HOW TO FOLD

 

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

2. Fold into thirds toward the middle. 

3. Roll from the bottom toward the pocket.

4. Turn the pocket inside out and flip the rolled Sling into it.

5. Zip it up and go.

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.  This gives all the bags a clean, professional look. 

All the Packables fold into their own pockets so they can be stashed in your luggage without taking up much room. The Packable Backpack and Packable Sling can hold small tablets and laptops in their own protective sleeve. The Packable Tote and Packable Duffel are expandable to accommodate multiple items, and the Packable Crossbody is sized to carry just your daily essentials. 

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 created a collection — a Packable Backpack, Tote, Duffel, and Sling. See the process from start to finish here
