I am a big fan of WaterField Designs bags. They’re made in the USA (and even made locally to me, in San Francisco), thoughtfully designed, and built to last with a lifetime warranty.
I currently own the following:
| Model | Trim | Dimensions | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Air Porter Carry-on Bag | Ballistic with Black | 16” x 5.5” 10.25”; 2.4 lbs. | Overnight travel |
| Bolt Briefcase | S/Chocolate on Canvas | 14.5” x 4” x 10.5”; 1.95 lbs. | Daily driver |
| Shield Case for Apple Vision Pro | All-Forza Blue | 7.75” x 5.25” x 7.5”; 1 lb | |
| Packable Sling | Green | ||
| Gear Pouch | L/Navy | 10” x 1” x 6.2”; 4.4 oz. | Keyboard+trackpad case |
| Air Caddy | 11”/Black Ballistic | 12” x 1.25” x 8”; 5 oz. | iPad+dongles daily driver |
I used to buy a lot of Fossil bags, but they didn’t hold up due to cheaper hardware and build. I still have a few leather Fossil bags, but I’ll likely replace them with WaterField as I retire them.
