WaterField Unveils New Sutter Tech Sling for New Apple iPad Pros, MacBook Air

Popular San Francisco bag maker WaterField Designs has unveiled their new Sutter Tech Sling bag, a one-strap backpack available in two sizes, with dedicated pockets to hold Apple’s new iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, or new MacBook Air.

The Sutter Tech Sling combines the utility of a sling with a professional aesthetic, a smart choice for creative professionals, commuters and travelers. Sling orders through November 9 will include a complimentary new WaterField Stylus Pencil Case, a plushly-padded accessory case with a dedicated Apple Pencil pocket.

The Sutter Sling is intentionally designed with features for easy-access and comfort:

  • While remaining on one shoulder, the bag easily shifts to the front, allowing quick access to items in the exterior pocket from either side
  • A unique swivel strap attachment grants 180-degree rotation so the bag rests flat against the body whether worn over one shoulder or crossbody
  • A wide shoulder strap with a built-in, moveable shoulder pad distributes weight evenly
  • A one-handed cam lock buckle lets users adjust how the bag rests against their body without removing the bag
  • The thoughtfully-placed iPad compartment keeps the back of the bag comfortably flat
  • Rear mesh padding enhances airflow and cushioning
  • Double, waterproof zippers enable entry to the main compartment from either side
  • A gold, water-resistant liner lights up the interior of the bag for increased visibility
  • An interior key fob attachment keeps keys quickly findable

The Sutter Tech Sling is available in two sizes and a choice of materials. A tailor-fitted, padded laptop/tablet compartment in the Standard size holds: the new 11-inch Apple iPad Pro or Surface Pro 6, and the Full-size holds: the new 12.9-inch Apple iPad Pro, the new MacBook Air, a 13-inch MacBook Pro, or the Surface Laptop 2. Three pen pockets for the Apple Pencil and ballpoints and an open-topped pocket, help keep gear organized inside, leaving ample interior space for a water bottle, notebook, wallet, and more. An exterior pocket, hidden behind the leather panel, is protected from the elements with inset waterproof zippers and keeps items like a phone, train tickets, and mints within quick reach.

  • 11.5 x 8 x 3 inches; 1.25 lbs. Fits 11-inch iPad Pro, and similarly-sized tablets

Full size:
