THE MAGICAL MATERIAL
With input from over 1000 customers, we set out to design a packable bag ideal for both travel and every day.
To support multiple uses, we created a custom-made material that combines Taslan — a modern, high-tech woven fabric that feels good and substantial — with a layer of tricot mesh for structure and a water-resistant coating.
This durable, lightweight textile still looks crisp and unwrinkled even after it has been stuffed or folded.
A PACKABLE BAG FOR EVERY DAY
The Packable Backpack squishes down quickly and folds into its own pocket. Weighing less than a pound, it's designed for using in a pinch or for every day.
For extra comfort, you'll find features not found on most packable bag, like a strap lined with moisture-wicking mesh, interior lining, and pockets secured with waterproof zippers.
Good luck keeping this Packable Backpack packed up.
HOW TO FOLD
1. Lay the Packable Backpack flat and take out the interior pocket.
2. Fold into thirds toward the middle. Be sure to include the straps.
3. Roll from the bottom toward the pocket.
4. Turn the pocket inside out and flip the roll into the pocket.
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.
