WaterField Designs “Bolt” Backpack
The “Bolt” backpack by WaterField Designs is a handsome bag that’s awesome for both your everyday carry and travel needs. It has a water-resistant waxed canvas exterior with accents of very supple leather. The interior lining is a bright gold color that makes it easy to spot whatever you’re looking for.
As Chase Reeves says in his video review, it’s a little Indiana Jones on the outside and Louis Vuitton on the inside.
Speaking of the inside, this thing is spacious enough to carry your laptop/tablet and other daily work essentials in the rear padded pocket, plus a change of clothes and extra pair of shoes in the front padded compartment for when you need to hit the gym or head to a business meeting after a long flight.
The two front pockets sport leather tabs and magnetic closures, and are ideal for holding your phone and other small items. Hiding behind those is another zipper pocket with a rain-guard flap, which is a great place to stash sensitive documents.
The zippers of this bag are all waterproof, and they’ve put a lot of thought into how comfortable the thing is to wear. Watch their overview video to see other features I haven’t mentioned here, including the interior and side pockets:
