WaterField Designs introduces Vitesse Backpack

Vitesse Backpack

The US$219 Vitesse Backpack is the first of four additions this month to WaterField Designs’ Vitesse Collection of waxed canvas bags with a modern twist. 

The unlined, 15-ounce Vitesse Backpack showcases the beauty of traditional, waterproof waxed canvas with a straightforward design and a vintage aesthetic, according to company owner Gary Waterfield. Modern touches, including a metal paragliding-style buckle, a 16-inch laptop pocket, and YKK waterproof zippers fashion the bag for 21st-century performance. 

WaterField says that features of the Vitesse Backpack include:

  • Expandable top opening grants wide, easy access to contents; can pin down with G-hooks on either side to maintain bag’s streamlined shape or leave up for added capacity. 
  • Canvas laptop pocket fits up to a 16-inch MacBook Pro with or without a WaterField Neo Sleeve.
  • Open pocket for accessories and three pen slots organize small items.
  • Pleated front pocket, with two interior organizational pockets, keeps phone, wallet, AirPods, etc. handy.
  • Metal paragliding-inspired buckle secures front pocket and operates easily with one hand. 
  • Rear, wheeled suitcase passthrough, with clever Velcro® patch in the middle, keeps bag securely in place for easy airport navigation.
  • YKK, waterproof, dual-sided zippers protect from the elements and add convenience.
  • Ergonomic, neoprene-padded, moisture-wicking straps keep users comfortable and dry.
  • Leather-wrapped handle facilitates a quick grab or hangs on a hook.
