WaterField Designs introduces the Tech Folio Backpack, an elegant, ergonomic solution for professionals whose success depends on ready access to their tech tools anytime, anywhere. Featuring padded compartments for a 16-inch MacBook Pro and a 12.9-inch tablet, a dedicated gear compartment with extensive pockets, and flexible carrying options, this modern backpack delivers efficiency and protection in one refined package.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- San Francisco high-end bag and case manufacturer WaterField Designs heralds in the New Year with the Tech Folio Backpack, a sophisticated, ergonomic laptop bag for organized professionals who carry considerable tech gear to and from work or maintain meticulous order in their home office. The comfortable workbag is replete with pockets ranging in size, protection, and accessibility to keep up to a 16-inch MacBook Pro and 12.9-inch iPad or tablet protected, abundant tech accessories organized, and frequently accessed items within easy reach.
"This elegant laptop backpack truly embodies the phrase 'A place for everything and everything in its place.' I never have to dig around at the bottom of my bag to find something," said company owner Gary Waterfield. "I don't know of any other professional backpack with such a well-designed, dedicated gear compartment that can organize so many accessories."
Tailored for individuals with significant tech needs, the Tech Folio Backpack offers a comfortable and elegant carrying solution suitable for any setting. A separate, full-length compartment with eleven pockets organizes items ranging from small SD cards to bulky hard drives. Foam-padded pockets cradle larger, more delicate items, while mesh-faced pockets ensure quick identification and access to accessories like dongles and cords. An open, top pocket features a quick-retrieval key tether, and a bottom pocket includes a hidden AirTag slot for added security. This large section unzips on three sides and lies flat on a desk to serve as a tech accessory headquarters.
The backpack's spacious main compartment includes two padded device pockets – one for up to a 16-inch MacBook Pro and a second for a 12.9-inch iPad or similar tablet — and accommodates ample work gear, clothing, or other bulky items. Positioned above the laptop and tablet area, the main compartment access zipper allows for easy retrieval of these devices, whether at work or in TSA lines. An internal sash keeps a water bottle upright and in place and folds aside when not needed, and two additional pockets keep items near the top of the bag.
Flexible carrying options – padded ergonomic shoulder straps, a leather-lined handle, and a wheeled suitcase passthrough — enhance convenience on the train, in the office, and at the airport. Firm foam protects the bag's front, back, and sides and helps the laptop backpack keep its shape and stand upright. Water-resistant waxed canvas or ballistic nylon combine with sumptuous leather to create a modern workbag aesthetic sure to turn heads.
