DryTide Waterproof Laptop Sleeve

The sleeve body and welded seams are waterproof. The top opening is not waterproof because it closes with a Velcro flap. For this reason, the sleeve is not designed to provide complete waterproof protection on its own. It is designed to be used inside a waterproof backpack, where it creates a separate waterproof layer around your laptop. The simple Velcro flap provides quick and easy access without the need for a zipper or more complicated closure system. This keeps the sleeve slim, lightweight and easy to use when you need to get to your laptop quickly.

Yes. The sleeve can be used separately as a laptop sleeve. However, if you need maximum protection from rain, splashes or wet gear, use it inside a waterproof backpack. The Velcro flap is not intended to provide complete waterproof protection by itself.

It is designed for laptops up to 15.6 inches. Laptop dimensions vary even within the same screen size, so the safest way to check is to compare your laptop with the 40 × 27 cm internal dimensions. Slim modern 15.6 inch laptops should generally fit. Particularly bulky laptops may not.

The sleeve does not have a fixed internal thickness. It has no padding or rigid internal structure, so the available width changes depending on the thickness of the laptop. A thicker laptop takes up more of the available width inside the sleeve. If your laptop is unusually thick, compare its actual dimensions with the sleeve before ordering.

No. The Waterproof Laptop Sleeve is designed to provide a slim waterproof layer rather than impact protection. If you want padding and protection from knocks and impacts, choose the DryTide Padded Laptop Sleeve.

Yes. This is one of the main reasons for using the Waterproof Laptop Sleeve with a DryTide waterproof backpack. You can keep your laptop inside the sleeve while carrying damp or wet items such as towels, swimwear, boardshorts or snorkeling gear in the main compartment.

Yes. The back of the sleeve has a Velcro attachment that secures it to the inside of all DryTide waterproof backpacks. This keeps the laptop sleeve in position and makes it easy to remove when you do not need it. Backpack Compatibility: DryTide 18L, 28L Point Nemo, 30L and 50L waterproof backpacks.
