WaterField Designs Introduces Tech Folio Tank Backpack: The Ultimate Carry for Gamers and Tech Power Users

WaterField's new Tech Folio Tank Backpack delivers unrivaled organization for gamers and tech professionals, with 30-liter capacity and custom compartments for most large laptops up to 18 inches and all essential peripherals. Featuring two padded laptop compartments, extensive organization, and an adjustable sternum strap, the Tank combines professional-grade protection and style for gaming events, creative sessions, and tech fieldwork.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- San Francisco's WaterField Designs announces its largest laptop backpack, the Tech Folio Tank Backpack:  an expanded version of its popular Tech Folio Backpack designed for PC gamers, power users, and creative professionals who require extensive equipment with stylish portability. The Tank accommodates larger gear including most gaming laptops up to 18 inches while maintaining the same sophisticated aesthetic and meticulous organization that has made the original Tech Folio Backpack a customer favorite.

"Gamers and tech professionals have been asking for a large laptop backpack like our Tech Folio Backpack that can accommodate their gaming rigs and specialized equipment," explains company owner Gary Waterfield. "Whether you're transporting your gaming setup to a LAN event, carrying design workstations to project sites, or bringing sound engineering gear to a set, the Tank keeps your entire setup organized, protected, and easy to access."

The Tech Folio Tank Backpack is like a tech-gear sherpa, eliminating the scavenger hunt that plagues standard backpacks. An innovative full-length tech compartment unfolds like a personal workstation, granting instant visual and tactile access to a professional's entire gear collection. Eleven specialized pockets include five transparent Monolite™ mesh pockets, two padded pockets for delicate items, and four open quick-access pockets — including one with an easy-retrieve key tether and another with a hidden AirTag slot for tracking.

The spacious main compartment includes two built-in padded device sleeves — one for most large laptops up to 18 inches and a second for an iPad or laptop up to 13 inches — plus ample room for bulky gaming peripherals, headsets, mechanical keyboards, or even clothing and necessities for overnight trips.

The Tank addresses the challenges of carrying heavier loads with padded ergonomic shoulder straps, moisture-wicking mesh backing, and a sternum strap that distributes weight evenly across the torso. These features along with a leather wrapped handle and wheeled suitcase pass-through allow users to comfortably transport full gaming setups or professional equipment, whether navigating tournament venues, client locations, or train stations.

The premium ballistic nylon or waxed canvas exterior combined with full-grain leather accents ensures the Tech Folio Tank maintains WaterField's professional aesthetic.
