Perfect for a day pack

I wanted a day bag that could hold my iPad and a few essentials without being too bulky. The bag is perfect for that. I keep a long sleeve lightweight hoodie, a beanie cap, and sunglasses case in the bag most of the time and can add my iPad in a Dash sleeve, occasionally a book or other small items, with my wallet, phone, keys all in the outside pocket. The material is nice as always. I can’t think of any downside to this bag. It replaced my Sutter Tech Sling which was a little too rigid and therefore unable to accommodate some of the items I might want to throw in there from time to time.

Good enough to become a permanent bag

I got this thinking I was going to use it as a packable one. When I opened it and started using it, I was impressed with the quality built into it. I haven't folded it to pack in another bag. Instead I've been using it as a permanent one. I have a draw string backpack I fold up and put it in my sling bag as a packable one.

Wrinkle free experience

After promptly receiving my new packable sling, I was immediately impressed with the quality build and rich feeling materials. The materials lives up to the promise of a wrinkle free experience. No longer must my travel day bag look like it came out of a dirty laundry hamper.

THE MAGICAL MATERIAL 

With input from over 1000 customers, we set out to design a packable bag ideal for both travel and everyday use. 

 

We created a custom-made material that combines Taslan — a high-tech woven fabric that feels natural and substantial, with a layer of tricot mesh for structure, and a water-resistant coating. 

 

This durable, lightweight textile remains crisp and unwrinkled even after it has been stuffed or folded. 

THE GOLDILOCKS-SIZED BAG

The Packable Sling Bag is perfectly sized to hold your daily essentials. Worn on the back or chest, it's not too big or too small, not too wide, or too narrow.  You can wear it to run errands, or take it to important meetings. 

 

It squishes down easily so you can conveniently store it in your luggage without taking too much space. 

 

 


 

HOW TO FOLD

 

1. Lay the Packable Sling flat and take out the interior pocket. 

2. Fold into thirds toward the middle. 

3. Roll from the bottom toward the pocket.

4. Turn the pocket inside out and flip the rolled Sling into it.

5. Zip it up and go.

YOU MADE IT HAPPEN

We asked our community what their ideal packable bag would include. They told us they wanted the convenience of a packable bag with the functionality of a regular WaterField bag. 

 

Using the right textile was key, so we set about creating one that combined packability with style.  
 

The community also had different ideas of the type of packable bag they wanted, so we created a collection — a Packable Backpack, Tote, Duffel, and Sling. See the process from start to finish here
