WaterField Designs unveils the professional-meets-sporty X-Air Duffel, a lightweight, in-flight personal item made from high-performance X-Pac® textile and full-grain leather accents. The X-Air Duffel fits under most airline seats, provides easy access to necessities throughout travels, and includes a dedicated mobile office compartment.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- WaterField Designs announces the X-Air Duffel, the first in the company's new X-Air Collection, a line of lightweight, feature-rich travel bags in high-performance X-Pac® textile for people who travel with their tech. The X-Air Duffel maximizes airline personal item space allowing travelers to carry on more and avoid checked-bag fees. The professional-meets-sporty travel duffel simplifies travel with features that facilitate easy access and flexibility.
"We designed the X-Air Duffel to be flexible, stylish, and durable. You can carry it on your wheelie suitcase, over your shoulder, or by the soft leather handles," said company owner Gary Waterfield. "The ultra-light, waterproof, and hard-wearing X-Pac® gives the X-Air Duffel an on-the-move vibe. For weekend trips, it's the only travel bag I need."
Handcrafted in San Francisco from X-Pac® textile known for durability and water resistance, the X-Air Duffel ensures reliable protection for tech and personal belongings. Waterproof YKK zippers further enhance security.
Whether traveling for business or leisure, everyone now travels with tech devices. The X-Air Duffel boasts a mobile office compartment featuring a TSA-friendly padded laptop sleeve for laptops up to a 16-inch MacBook Pro, a pocket for tablets up to 12.9 inches, and additional pockets for chargers, a power brick, cords, and other accessories.
Exterior pockets provide easy access to critical items at various stages in a traveler's journey. Roomy front pockets hold ID, tickets, passport, phone, wallet, keys, and other quick-access items. Self-finding magnetic Fidlock® buckles keep them secure. Deep side pockets remain flat when empty but expand to hold belongings frequently needed in flight like a large water bottle, a book, or snacks, or — when out and about — a light jacket or umbrella.
The spacious main compartment includes two compression straps and easily accommodates several packing cubes, making it ideal for a few days' travel. Two organization pockets are large enough to hold headphones and a pocket organizer. Gold water-resistant lining lights up the interior so belongings are easy to find.
For ultimate convenience, the X-Air Duffel includes multiple carry options: a rear slot slides over a wheeled suitcase for easing through airports, 11-inch leather-wrapped handles can be worn over a shoulder or carried comfortably by hand, and the company's Supreme Shoulder Strap lightens the load for longer carries. A rear pocket stows magazines or notebooks or serves as an ideal place to stash receipts and other items when in a hurry.
