WaterField Unveils Sleek Essential Backpack with Padded 16-inch Laptop Compartment

WaterField introduces the Essential Laptop Backpack, an ultra-light yet structured backpack that stands on its own and exudes a classic style suitable for office, travel, or everyday use. A padded laptop compartment protects up to a 16-inch MacBook Pro, Microsoft Surface Laptop 4, or similar device.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- WaterField Designs introduces the handcrafted Essential Laptop Backpack. Foam inserts provide protection and structure to the elegantly tapered backpack, and a padded compartment fits up to an Apple 16-inch MacBook Pro, Microsoft Surface Laptop 4, or similar device. Simple and uncomplicated with innovative details and the exceptional materials and craftsmanship the company is known for, the laptop backpack is the ideal lightweight, comfortable choice for all-day wear at the office or just about anywhere.

"Our new Essential Backpack embodies the 'less is more' focus of our Essentials Collection. Its clean design is lightweight and easy to use," said company owner Gary Waterfield. "The backpack has a beautiful shape, and it stands on its own so it's easy to access what I need from inside. The ergonomically designed straps are wide and padded so it stays comfortable even over long periods."

Smart details make the Essential Backpack stand out. Lightweight, dense foam inserts on the front, back, and bottom help distribute weight evenly and create structure that keeps the bag upright when set down. Ergonomic, padded straps that adjust easily, and a contoured back side combined with moisture-wicking padding, create comfort that lasts all day. A leather-lined grab handle is great for grab-and-go situations and a rolling suitcase passthrough facilitates hands-free airport navigation.

Key organization features include a padded laptop compartment that fits up to a 16-inch Apple MacBook Pro, Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 or smaller device; an internal zippered pocket for valuables; two exterior water-bottle pockets; and an easy-access exterior zippered front pocket with an attached key fob inside. Gold rip-stop nylon lining illuminates the interior and pockets, so contents are easy to find. YKK waterproof zippers help protect contents from the elements and add to the bag's sleek aesthetic.
