We’re big fans of great gear. I’ve recommended bags from WaterField Designs in the past because of their great build and quality. WaterField has just announced their Vitesse Duffel bag. The bag is designed for regular use, such as going to the gym. It is travel ready also since it complies with carry-on regulations.
Crafted from rugged but lightweight waxed canvas, the Vitesse Duffel includes a roomy main compartment with two hanging zippered pockets for valuables; a front leather-tab-closed pocket for easy access items; and reinforced premium leather handles with non-slip undersides. The handles are long enough to wear over a shoulder and short enough to remain off the ground when carried. A removable simple shoulder strap lets users carry the duffel cross-body for heavier loads. The distressed waxed canvas material and the leather details get more and more attractive over time. The Duffel’s flat bottom and large zippered opening make it easy to pack for overnight business, a weekend away or an evening at the gym.
Pricing and Availability
You can pre-order the Vitesse Duffel and it will ship February 26th. It’s available in 3 colors: grey, brown, or blue waxed canvas.

“Inspired by the standard WWI soldier bag in both aesthetic and construction—simple but rugged—we upgraded the design with reinforced handles and additional pockets for modern day use,” shared Gary Waterfield, company founder. “It’s so versatile—in addition to the gym, I take it on photo shoots, weekend excursions and even to the office.”
This new Duffel joins our Cycling Musette and Messenger Bag to round out our Vitesse line. Each is ideal for commuting whether by car, bike or train. All WaterField Designs products are designed and manufactured in San Francisco.
