Perfect for my MacBook Pro 16” and GREAT customer service!

I purchased this for my new MacBook Pro 16 and it’s a perfect fit without it being too tight. Just enough extra inside pockets to carry my charger, an external hard drive and my iPad Pro. Plus, I Like that I can charge the laptop while it’s in the case too. External zippered pocket is great to hold my passport, and put my things in as I go through the TSA check.

The bag is top quality as all WF bags are and I know it will last for years to come. The reason why I always buy from WF! Customer service is fantastic. I emailed to see if I could receive this in time for a trip and they had it shipped out to me the same day.

Unmatched Style & Qualtiy

I've never come across bags and travel products with such quality. Too boot, the robust build doesn't compromise style and class. Clearly some of the best products money can buy.

Excellent bag - great service WW shipping

Quality, service, speed, personalized messaging - what more to ask ?

Love this bag!

I have owned Waterfield bags in the past and they have been wonderful. This one is somehow even better - leaner, better designed and even tougher than prior versions. Highly recommend for someone who has to carry a laptop and a few other small things (a couple magazines worth of paper) and other small electronics to make travel easier.

Great Bag!!! love the design

Perfect laptop backpack
