WaterField Pre-launches the Atlas Executive Athletic Holdall—Go From Work to Workout with One Refined Bag

WaterField Designs introduces the Atlas Executive Athletic Holdall, a sophisticated briefcaseand athletic bag for fitness-minded professionals to transition seamlessly from office to gym. The handsome leather-trimmed waxed canvas or ballistic nylon carryall incorporates a padded laptop compartment and organizational pockets for work essentials, a spacious chamber for clothes, and a collapsible, zippered space to separate shoes. With its sleek aesthetic and uncluttered design, the Atlas is the only bag a professional needs to impress at a business meeting and to knock out a lunchtime training session. Pre-launch participants who order through December 31, receive a complimentary WaterField Duo Dopp Kit ($79).

“Many of us who commute to work and like to stay fit, carry both a briefcase and a gym bag every day, but I’d prefer to carry just one — something to take from workout-to-work, and vice versa,” explained company owner, Gary Waterfield. “The work-gym bags available didn’t have the internal organization I need, so we designed one that keeps the professional aesthetic of a briefcase, improves interior organization and expands functionality to carry athletic gear. We’re pre-launching now so people can start the new year off right.”

The Atlas Holdall combines the best features of a professional briefcase with a workout or overnight bag into one sleek design: 

  • A slim chamber, secured by dual waterproof zippers, serves as a briefcase. Inside, two built-in, padded sleeves protect a laptop and tablet, and additional pockets stow a power supply, cords, a pen or stylus, and other work necessities.
  • Laptop sleeve corner-cut-outs permit laptop charging while the device remains safely within.
  • The TSA-friendly briefcase compartment opens flat, allowing the laptop to stay protected inside, while passing through TSA screening.
  • A cavernous compartment, secured by dual waterproof zippers, stores clothing for exercise or for an overnight trip.
  • A discrete, zippered, shoe pouch separates these from apparel and work items in an interior pocket that is accessed from the outside. It recedes when not in use to maximize space.
  • An exterior zippered front pocket holds keys, wallet, tickets and other quick-access items. Inside that, a soft Ultrasuede® pocket protects a smartphone, and a key fob makes for easy retrieval after a vigorous workout.
  • An open-topped side pocket stores a water bottle or other frequently-used belongings.
  • Gold rip-stop lining lights up the bag’s interior for improved visibility.
  • Three carry options — dual leather-grip handles, a suspension shoulder strap, and a wheeled-suitcase handle pass through for air travel — add to the Atlas’ versatility.
  • In either classic, sturdy black ballistic nylon or rugged, tan waxed canvas and premium full-grain leather accents, the Atlas looks as good with a suit as it does with workout clothes.
