Bought for flying

Not that practical for flying as it is fairly bulky and not very comfortable to wear on your back. But like how it goes on a roller bag and all the compartments.

Nice Backpack

My last bag from another company had a zipper pull come off, making it difficult to zip. So I decided I needed a new bag. I knit and carry a MacBook and iPad mostly with my backpacks. I love the way this bag remains upright, my old bag always fell over. The back section holds both my MacBook Pro and IPad Pro with a bit of room for a file or two. The main section is perfect for hold my knitting project and supplies. The only thing I miss is being able to carry my AirPod Max in my Waterfield carry case on the backpack when I travel. I need to figure a way to attach them or see if I can make it fit inside. I have several cases from this company, I’m happy with them all.

Form AND Function! The perfect bag!

Since switching to fully remote, I’ve been on the hunt for a bag I could both travel with and use in my day to day. The problem that I was running into is that I need to carry my work laptop, personal laptop, tablet, and gear. Having to fit this all in one bag was either cumbersome or, more often, I was having to carry both my existing laptop backpack AND a briefcase.

The Pro Executive backpack has solved this for me, as I’m able to fit all of my gear and it looks great while doing so!

Pro Executive Backpack

Perfect size with storage space and the quality of the bag cannot be beat. The look is just amazing best bag I own

Simply Perfect

I always wanted the Pro Executive Laptop Backpack. When they released the limited addition waxed canvas I ran to my MAC to place the order. I love it. It looks amazing. It cradles my MAC like champion. I can even carry my Keypad Keyboard inside the WaterField sleeve in the front area of the back back. The gold interior makes is easy for viewing what’s inside. Thanks for my EDC lifetime backpack.
