Exceptional quality!

Outstanding for Office Use and Travel

I've used this for my personal item on a recent trip as well as for office commuting. I carry multiple laptops and the folio, all of which the rear compartment accommodates quite well. The volume of the backpack is a little less than the backpack it's replacing, but I find it easier to use or take on a plane with the better structure on the Executive Backpack. I've been using Waterfield bags for years and this is definitely a top pick.

Customer for Life

I own DOZENS of Waterfield products and keep making excuses to my wife that I need more. When she asked last week for my 2 year old Pro Executive Backpack to become her own, I “reluctantly” obliged knowing that I would simply order a new one! When I ordered my new backpack on Friday 8/1 at 9am ET with overnight shipping, I completely forgot that I had a business trip/flight lined up for Monday 8/4 at 4pm ET. In a panic, I emailed Gary and Team at 1pm ET that Friday begging to pay for super expedited/first am shipping to get it there before my Monday flight. I heard back within an hour providing me with a FedEx shipping/tracking number and a validation that the bag was scheduled to arrive before noon ET that Monday. Great products+outstanding customer service=grateful customer for life

Pro Executive Laptop Backpack - Versatile and Stylish

I’ve been using the Pro Executive Laptop Backpack for about two weeks now, and it’s so good! I normally use it at the office, but I’m taking it with me to Alaska for two weeks, and it functions perfectly as both a mobile office and a makeshift photography backpack. The build quality is impressive - very well made, with sturdy zippers and durable materials that hold up to travel and outdoor use. The leather accent is also one of my favorite design elements. It looks so good! I also appreciate that it's Made in the USA.

There’s plenty of organized space for my laptop, chargers, documents, and camera gear. The compartments are thoughtfully designed, making it easy to access everything quickly. Even when packed full, it remains comfortable to carry thanks to the padded straps and ergonomic design.

This is my 15th Waterfield product, and it's by far my favorite one to date.

Great office carrier

My 2nd purchase of this bag. I work in 3 locations & I need to carry my workplace with me. Light, sturdy, attractive, easy to organize inside & highly functional. Gary says my 1st bag served be for 12-13 years (I can’t remember exactly when I bought it). I replaced it because some of the zippers finally failed from over-use (trust me…). The new version is almost identical but with better zipper handles (the old ones sometimes got caught inside the adjacent zippers & complicated closure occasionally). This one is improved & highly recommended. My last one made it thru thousands of travel miles on my shoulder. Get one!

Design details

STANDS UPRIGHT AND FITS A LOT

Fits everything for your mobile office. Ideal for shared office or remote workers without dedicated desks.

"It's the little things that truly set it apart, like having it stay standing— a feature I didn't think about until I had it." - Brent W.

THIS PRODUCT WAS DESIGNED BY THE COMMUNITY

This crowdsourced design involved customers from development to production. Together, we collaborated on their requirements, features, and use cases. See how it all unfolded.

The Pro Executive Backpack shows how useful a product can be when real people with real needs are behind its development.

CARING FOR THE LEATHER

We usually recommend not doing anything to the full-grain leather of your bag, letting it develop it's own beautiful patina over time. However, if your Pro Executive Backpack has Chocolate Leather, you may want to freshen it up a bit with a leather conditioner. The leather may darken a bit, so test the reaction first on a spot that's not highly visible.

You can also freshen up the look of the leather, by smoothing out the marks a bit with heat from a hair dryer to spread the oils around.

NOTE: This video of our classic Cozmo Brief and the Bolt Backpack uses the same distressed, full-grain leather as the Pro Executive Backpack.
