Overview
Carrying a tablet in its own sleeve, this Borealis sling uses a recycled nylon ripstop shell with a non-PFC water-repellent finish. Three zippered pockets and an adjustable cross-body strap handle the rest.
A tablet sleeve and several pockets in a sling form cover travel essentials without a full backpack. The limit is confusion over size, because the depth, width and height figures do not match the capacity.
Who it's for
Airport days and outings with a tablet, phone and small gear suit the sleeve and the pockets. Shoppers who need a laptop bag, or exact dimensions, should check elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Dedicated tablet sleeve
- Recycled ripstop nylon
- Three zippered pockets
- Adjustable cross-body strap
- Dimensions look inconsistent
- Hand wash only
- Water repellent, not waterproof
Performance notes
The tablet sleeve holds a device apart from the other pockets, and the ripstop weave limits tears spreading. The finish sheds light moisture, and the cross-body strap adjusts to set where the bag rides.
