WaterField has also introduced a lightweight ECOPAK™ version of the bag, made from recycled materials, to meet growing demand for sustainable luggage options. Other upgrades include enhanced security features such as lockable zippers and RFID-blocking pockets to protect against digital theft. The bag's internal organization has also been improved, with new compartments and pockets to keep belongings separated and easy to access. 'Our customers provided invaluable feedback that guided the enhancements to the Air Porter,' said Gary Waterfield, founder of WaterField Designs. 'We wanted to build on the original's strengths while addressing their needs for more space, security, and organization.' The Air Porter is designed to fit under airline seats, preserving valuable legroom. The bag's slim profile and durable, water-resistant materials make it a popular choice for maritime industry professionals who need a compact, versatile carry-on. 'The Air Porter has been a go-to bag for many of our readers who travel frequently for work,' said the editor of a leading maritime industry publication. 'This updated version looks to build on the original's proven design in ways that will be very appealing to our audience.' The new Air Porter carry-on is available now through the WaterField website and select retailers. Prices start at $329 for the standard version and $299 for the ECOPAK model.
