Nice product and love the brown canvas. Good size for my phone, wallet and keys. I really love the adjustable strap, added bonus. I had looked and many other alternatives but glad I chose this one.
It's a great piece. I am very happy. It's good quality and doing its job very well.
I am considering buying the pouch for my Steam Deck. 😊
As usual, top notch quality for anything I've ordered from Waterfield but at a premium price; no regets. I wish the sling was detachable.
Design and Materials:
The Vitesse Backpack stands out with its modern, clean, and functional design, which balances simplicity and practicality. The primary canvas material is of exceptional quality, ensuring durability while maintaining an understated elegance. The latching mechanism for the outside pocket is easy to use and constructed with high-quality components. The zipper system is another highlight, featuring a waterproof covering over the zipper teeth for added protection against the elements.
Craftsmanship and Quality Assurance:
The craftsmanship of the backpack is outstanding, with meticulous attention to detail in both design and construction. It is evident that quality assurance has been prioritized, as the backpack demonstrates durability and premium materials throughout.
Comfort and Usability:
The backpack is impressively lightweight, making it a comfortable choice for travel. The padded straps and ergonomic design ensure proper weight distribution across the back, reducing strain and enhancing comfort during use. The handle is also well-designed, making it convenient for quick removal or carrying.
Functionality and Storage:
The backpack provides ample storage space without feeling bulky. It accommodates two Microsoft Surface laptops (14"), each in its sleeve, along with a laptop charger, cell phone and charger, travel documents, wallet, and miscellaneous paperwork. This level of organization and capacity makes it an ideal choice for travelers or professionals.
Value for Money:
Overall, the Vitesse Backpack is an excellent value. Its combination of thoughtful design, premium materials, superior craftsmanship, and functional features makes it a worthwhile investment.
Summary:
For those seeking a minimalist, durable, and comfortable backpack for travel or daily use, the Vitesse Backpack delivers on all fronts. Its modern aesthetic, coupled with its practical and high-quality build, makes it an outstanding choice.
Several of the other riders in my cycling club have cycling wallets but they’re big and bulky. This wallet is compact and fits my phone in a case as well as my credit card wallet and car key. Much more convenient then trying to wrestle these items in and out of my saddle bag. Like my previous Waterfield purchases, the quality is top notch.
I purchased this much needed sleeve for my Mac Book. Very durable materials master craftsman stitching and the canvas is waterproof.
Gary and his team really knocked this one home catering to my lifestyle on the go. Easy to pack, close and run!
Now if I could talk Gary into making a skateboarders backpack I would be totally set!!!
I love the wallet, I just wish that it had a more assertive closure. It flaps open away too easily for me, at least new. Will see how it goes with some use!
Nice compact form, but doesn’t really protect the cards. Corners end up battered like they were loose in a pocket.
The construction and materials of this case are top-notch, and I can't say enough good things about them! One odd thing is that my steam deck feels like it *barely* fits in there, requiring a bit of extra push on my part to get the lid closed. It makes me nervous I'm going to hurt the analog sticks when closing the case. I don't know if that's because I have the OLED version (is that one bigger than the original?) or something, but that's my one critique.
I am so happy with this Pocket Pouch. It's so well made! I don't need to worry about my AP getting damaged while in my backpack. Love the zip pocket to store a cable and a game or two.
Well thought out and lovingly crafted. Greetings from Germany.
Amazing backpack holds everything I need to hold the only thing missing. Is a pocket to hold pens vertically. As usual attention to detail and Bill qualities is amazing.
I’ve travelled with a Waterfield packable backpack for several years. It’s been a lighweight, durable, right-sized backpack that I can pull out of my suitcase and use for day trips around cities while my “full size” backpack full of gear stays at the hotel/office. Quality is non pariel, from the liquid proof zippers to the incredibly tough material to the straps that are actually comfortable to the way it has resisted stains and visible wear. Packed it takes up less suitcase space than a toiletries bag and weighs around a pound. My partner was so impressed with the backpack I just purchased another for her. Plus it’s made in San Francisco - couldn’t ask for more.
Thoughtful design, just the right amount of organization, and very smart sizing. Looks way better than a backpack! A great piece to maximize carry on travel and look smart doing it. This bag can also be used as a weekender.
Love WaterField Designs bags, definitely recommend getting a bag or two. Great quality for sure.
Minimal understatement. Just what I wanted. Also li ke that I can charge while my MacBook is in the case. Only wish I had ordered one with the D rings. Quality construction.
It was a gift for my husband. He loved it! Great for carrying his phone on his bicycle ❤️.
Quality is great and knocks it out of the park, but extremely steep for what it offers in my opinion. The fit is also very very tight. If you have any protective case on your steamdeck, the fit will be very tight, in my case, using the dbrand killswitch, you'll have a hard time closing the carrying case. The pouch also doesn't really protect the joystick that well, and the fact that you can press the joystick by pressing on the outside of the carrying case is worrying, so I'm using it in combination with the dbrand travel cover which makes the fit even tighter. I am able to close everything up, but any pressure on the back on the steamdeck will break the magnetic seal, I feel like actual zippers here would have been better and cheaper to produce than magnets. It looks nice don't get my wrong, but the magnetic closing isn't that strong and just plain annoying to use if you want to use it in tandem with a protective cover for the device.
