Gary, you’ve done it again!

The Sutter Tech Sling by Waterfield deserves a solid 5-star rating in my book! This bag combines style, functionality, and quality in a way that few others can match.

First and foremost, the design is sleek and modern, making it perfect for both work and casual settings. It's clear that Waterfield has paid attention to detail, as the materials used are top-notch, and the craftsmanship is evident in every stitch.

When it comes to practicality, this sling bag truly shines. It offers a well-thought-out layout of compartments and pockets, making it a breeze to organize my gear. The padded sleeve adds extra protection.

The Sutter Tech Sling is incredibly comfortable to wear, thanks to its adjustable strap and ergonomic design. It's also versatile, with the ability to switch between carrying it on your back or as a crossbody bag.

In summary, the Waterfield Sutter Tech Sling is a superb tech bag that not only looks great but also excels in functionality and durability. It's the perfect companion for tech-savvy individuals who demand both style and practicality from their gear. I can't recommend it enough! 5 stars without a doubt.

Nice bag but strap is….meh

First off I love the bag itself, great materials and feel, and exactly the size I was looking for. It’s a really nice bag, but it’s uncomfortable. The strap seems to be not fully thought out or tested. The adjustment buckle ends up sitting directly under the shoulder pad, pinching into my chest or being where the weight is distributed onto my shoulder instead of the pad. It’s pretty much impossible to get comfortable enough that I’d be willing to wear it for extended periods of time. The buckle is positioned on a point of the strap that ensures it’s in the most uncomfortable place at all times, regardless of adjustment. Weight distribution is key on a sling bag like this, and I don’t feel like it’s there at all with this product.

I also personally think the smaller side accessible pocket needs some pockets and straps in it to hold things up, otherwise everything falls into a messy pile at the bottom, making weight unbalanced and making it harder to get a specific item out.

But overall a nice useful bag that seems like it will hold up well.

First impressions was that I paid too much for an unbranded leather bag. But the bag sits nice and I do think I like that it's unbranded per se. So the point now is that I am looking at adding another bag to my collection.

this is the perfect fit for my mobile work. it fits my macbook air, ipad pro with keyboard, two roost stands, wireless keyboard, mouse, planner, bottle of water, thermos of coffee. also it does this interesting folding gusset thing where it sits really flat when not loaded and holds the shape. very happy with purchase

"Perfect. Super compact. Zippers are easy to manipulate one handed. Cam lock works great to loosen it and slide to the front without taking it off for quick reach in." - Lawrence I., Santa Ana, US

HOW TO FRESHEN UP YOUR CANVAS

Keep your bag looking new by applying wax when you think it needs a little refresh. Although any wax is applicable, you can use Martexin Original Wax which was initially used to coat your canvas bag. 

CARING FOR YOUR LEATHER AND WAXED CANVAS 

 

If you have the waxed canvas and chocolate leather version of the Sutter Tech Sling, Gary shows how you can maintain these materials so they’ll look great over time. We use full grain Roughman Leather for your bag which has oils that respond well to heat.

 

Although this video is for the AirPods Max Shield Case, the maintenance also applies to your bag.
