Great quality, size and look

Yes, the bolt bag is all that and more.

Awesome quality, top-notch customer Service

As always. Its a pleasure buying from you :)

My 2nd Bolt, and loving it!

I bought my first Bolt bag in 2016 or 2017, and it has been a workhorse despite me trying to injure it at every turn. And after approximately 6 years or so, I've decided to refresh the good ol' Bolt. The new bag does not disappoint; it's built just as well as my old one, and to my delight it has new improvements! The laptop slight now has an improved should strap, the same soft padding on the large laptop pouch as the smaller tablet pouch, and it has these nifty cutouts on the side of those pouches that allow you to get a better grip on the laptop. Even the old bag will serve as a backup or a utility bag when I need it -- it'll probably go another 4 years! I can not recommend this bag and Waterfield enough. I have 7 different Waterfield bags and pouches, and I love them all. And on top of all of that, the support is phenomenal. You can not go wrong with this company.

The fantastic Bolt!

Bought the Bolt for a gift for my son. He could not be happier.....

PROTECTS LAPTOP AND TABLET

The preferred everyday carry for professionals toting multiple tech gear. Organizes tech efficiently with plenty of pockets.

"The bag has honestly changed my productivity, as I'm now able to carry my mobile office with me and react and respond to challenges and opportunities on the go." - James Y.

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 Bolt Briefcase, 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.
