"If you’re in the market for a travel carry-on that’s designed with a ton of thought and attention to detail, that’s made in America by people who are paid decent wages, and that will last for many years to come (I’m about to enter year 8 for my Muzetto) the Air Porter is certainly worth a look."

Great Everyday Travel Bag

Every day I go to work, I'm on a plane, and the Air Porter carry on bag functions perfectly to keep me organised while also looking professional when on duty.

Outstanding!

To say that I am more than pleased with the Air Porter bag is an understatement! First, it is the finest constructed bag I have ever owned. It really is a work of art. The materials are top quality. Next, its brilliantly designed. Just enough internal organization to keep my essentials organized, but not too much so I loose things. Most of my gear, such as charging cables and dongles, are stowed in my Waterfield gear pouch so I can easily organize them and transfer between different bags as needed. The size of the bag is perfect, it fits two ipad pro's and my macbook pro 13" with ease. I love that it will fit under an airline seat while standing up so you still have foot space, they really thought of everything when designing this bag!

I am an airline pilot and use this bag to carry my work equipment which includes an iPad, 13" macbook, mirrorless camera, headset, sunglasses, Waterfield gear pouch, and a water bottle.

If you are in the market for a laptop case, the Air Porter is without a doubt one of the best on the market.

Air Caddy Review

I needed a small bag/pouch to carry my iPad and other small items. The Air Caddy is a great for carrying an iPad plus other small essentials for air or train travel.

How do you suggest I clean the ballistic nylon?

The ballistic nylon is *very* durable and will take scrubbing with a stiff brush and mild soap. Blot with towels/rags and let the case dry out. This should have the case looking good as new.

How do you suggest I clean the waxed canvas?

Waxed Canvas isn’t the easiest item on the planet to clean - part of the character-building process with Waxed Canvas is how it ages with scuffs, dirt, stains and all. Still, there are things you can do. This article gives you a good idea of how to clean and re-wax if and when you are ready. They suggest using dish soap and soft brush to clean, then drip dry, then take a hot hairdryer to heat up the wax and redistribute it. This will soften any blemishes and help with the dirt. The lines and crinkles on the waxed canvas are actually normal, and happens in shipping sometimes. All you have to do is use a hair dryer and you can flatten out the wax with your hand.

How do you suggest I clean the leather?

Actually, we suggest not doing anything. Part of the beauty of highly distressed leather develops as it gets used over time— with rain or getting bumped around. Leather conditioners will darken and alter the leather, maybe not something you desire. If at some point you want to condition the leather - we suggesting using Mink Oil. This will darken a bit at first - but will keep the leather very nice. You can also spread the oils around and smooth them out a bit with a hair dryer and your hand. Any leather discoloration or marks are straight from the actual hide itself; it's part of the character of the leather. That’s how you know it’s the real thing. Each hide has it own look; it's unique just like you. With naturally tanned leather, there's always going to be a bit of character on it that's hard to control. It's one of the reasons we like it so much, you'll always be getting a one-of-a-kind bag.

Will the Air Porter fit under the seat in front of me on a plane?

While we have tested the bag on several different planes, it should fit under most seats in front of you on a plane.
