After accumulating a dozen bags over more years, I finally found what I was looking for. I put off the purchase because of the price, but it is worth it. The attention to detail is amazing. It does fit perfectly under the airline seat and stays standing so it doesn’t fall over on your feet. The magnet closure on the quick access flap makes it much more secure when getting something on the move. There are plenty of holders and pockets for organizing what I carry. The leather on the bottom is great for protection when setting down. It is strong but relatively light.
I used the sutter tech sling instead of my usual Northface back pack for my trip to and from Gran Canaria and it changed my mind how i should travel. Its a long trip with myltiple transits and lots of foot work and i loved how compact and light it was.I love the mindful attention to detail you put into your customer service. Hope to see more and more products growing the sutter slim product line. Whats great about it is despite the quality , it doesnt attract any attention so acts as a passive deterrent to would be opportunistic thieves!
Just the perfect size, a solid well built bag, great water resistant zip, it'll double as my cable bag and safe place for electronics on a damp day out.
Last flight almost lost my phone from my pocket, this case is a great way to have what you need in front of you without fear of missing something in the seat pockets.
I love the size of this portfolio, it fits my iPad Pro (12.9) with the Magic Keyboard and my iPad Mini and has lots of great organization for cables and other things. It looks very professional and yet keeps me ready for whatever is going on as I move around the day.
This bag isn’t cheap but the quality is outstanding. I am proud to carry this bag around……nicest backpack I have ever seen.
I bought this bag as a carry-on for my partner, who has a visual impairment and needed a light-colored bag with a bright-colored interior. This bag was perfect. Lightweight, durable, many pockets and compartments, great-looking! Couldn't be happier with it and neither could he. Thanks!
Money well spent. It is has meet expectations thus far. I enjoyed a premium bag from a competitor for almost two decades. When that bag eventually whore out I was prepared to give them my money again. I decided to try the airporter instead and no regrets. Can't comment on the longevity but the well thoughtout design is proving to be a superior user experience.
I always try to avoid cheap products. Why spend $15 on a made in china sleeve from amazon when you can suppot an american business and workers for $39. I would definitely recommend this sleeve. It is very high quality and the leather on the bottom to protect bumps on the ground is a nice touch and very helpful. A+
As and ex-consultant who still travels a bit I switch bags a lot. I wanted something smaller, laptops are thin these days and airline foot space gets tighter as they cram more screens on. I don’t need a bag with lots of empty space I’m tempted to fill. The Sutter Slim backpack feels just right. I can go super slim for some quick remote work or fill it up for a an international flight and it’s still small. Plus it has a trolley strap, it’s tall enough to toss a water bottle in the main compartment and the top pocket makes TSA checkpoints easy. With all that, it’s one sexy looking bag too.
The Essential Laptop backpack is my fourth Waterfield bag, and the first that left me a *little* disappointed. Of course the bag is well made, but it’s short on compartments which leaves a lot of stuff jumbled and bouncing together. Having a quick access pocket (like the one on the slim backpack) would have been ideal for transit passes, phone, earbuds. Without it, organization can get chaotic, very much unlike Waterfield’s usual "a place for everything, everything in its place" design aesthetic. Having said that, Waterfield still makes the most comfortable and easy-to-adjust on the go backpacks anywhere.
One month into purchase, I can confidently say this is an amazing product. I'll only be buying bags from WaterField going forward.
Glad to find a well designed American made cycling bag. So far it’s held up well. Test will be the summer and sweat !
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!
I looked at many many different cases for the Steam Deck and none of them really made me want to get them. They either didn't provide enough protection, were too big/small or were ugly and cheap looking.
Fortunately I found WaterField! I love the designs of all their bags. Stylish and extremely well made. I will say I'd have liked a hard shell section to protect the joystick area of the Steam Deck but I ordered a rubber case that has a front cover I will use together with the cityslicker. The bag is the perfect size to take with me on the go. Very convenient and not too big or small. Assuming this is my continued opinion in the coming months of use I will be looking at getting one of the larger cases as well for over night trips. I highly recommend this product and company. I loved all the color options and all the extra accessories I could add. I am a lifetime fan.
Thanks a lot to creators of these beautiful bags. It made my husband so happy that he is wearing it all the time. I give my review 5/5.
I've been looking everywhere for a magnetic sleeve that is truly compatible with the MacBook Pro 14" M2 (year 2023) model. Unfortunately, all the 14" sleeves currently in the market are actually made for MacBook Pro 14" M1 (year 2021), not the M2 model. These sleeves are not compatible because the thickness of the M2 model is thicker than the M1 model. Due to this, the sleeve feels overly tight for the M2 model, constantly applying pressure to the lid against the body. This will cause the rubber around the lid to have issues over time. If you look at Apple's website, you will not find any compatible sleeve for MacBook Pro 14" 2023 model (by filter). Luckily, I found the "SFBags" 14" sleeve and so far this is the only sleeve that can fit the MacBook 14" nicely.
If I've to suggest any improvement, I'll say make the canvas fabric thinner and lighter if possible. Overall, this is an amazing sleeve that really works well.
Third item I've purchased from Waterfield designs, and as always, quality is great and delivery is super quick. This bag and team in general are highly recommended. Thanks again, I'm sure I'll be purchasing something else from you guys soon!
Needed some extra protection for my 17" laptop, so i got a canvas sleeve. The quality is good as always, I'm a repeat customer
Keep up the great work y'all!!
Superb design and built quality, highly recommended 👍👍👍

Have a black leather one bought many moons ago. Has 3 compartments - perfect size & setup. Only problem over the years is the (plastic?) end of the zipper pull broke off, but wallet is still very usable. Been debating about returning for this larger size, but procrastination has seized me but the throat.
When I was searching for a case for my Nintendo Switch Lite, I wasn’t very interested by many of the options out there.
This case, by Waterfield, is exactly what I was hoping to find and I absolutely love it.
This is my 6th bag purchased from WaterField! Quality as usual is the best! Missed buying this backpack previously and was very happy when this was offered again for a short period! Fulfills all my carry on travel needs!
