Our thoughts

Waterfield Bolt Backpack bridges tech gear and travel essentials. It features an easy access laptop compartment that makes airport security checking a breeze. It also have some handful of pockets to keep your things organize in your backpack plus front zippered pocket with rain-guard flap for stashing sensitive documents.

It's exterior looks good as a go-to bag for your activities. It is also look sleek and small enough that you can also wear it with your business clothing without looking unprofessional.

Waterfield Bolt Backpack is perfect for work-to-weekend activities. No more for extra bags for your laptop, and gym clothing.

Reasons to buy

  • The gold lining makes it easier to see what's inside the backpack.
  • The back has an anti-sweat mesh cushion that's really comfortable at the same time.
  • Timeless aesthetics that would fit in most situations.

Things to consider

  • The outside pockets can be a little exposed for pickpockets or can be waterlogged if caught in heavy rain.
  • The pockets can be too short for modern smartphones.

What reviewers said

  • "I loved the design, materials used, and looks Indiana Jones-ish!"
  • "I have only owned the bag for a week, but I can say the construction is incredible, the space is just right for my daily use (plus a little extra), and the fit when I carry it is very comfortable."

Reviews from around the web

Waterfield Designs Bolt Backpack review: High quality professional backpack made in the US
www.zdnet.com
The waxed canvas and leather material look and feel fantastic. The stitching is flawless, the zippers are waterproof with leather pulls, the lining is strong and vibrant, and the entire Bolt Backpack exudes high quality and professionalism.
The Bolt Backpack: Functional and Classy Everyday Carry

The Bolt Backpack is a winner in my book. This is a backpack that you can take from the boardroom to the gym and then out into the streets and pubs of London and the bag both functions well and looks the part in all of these use cases.
