BUILT FOR THIS

Your laptop is one of the most valuable things you travel with — and one of the easiest to damage. Bags get dropped and tossed around, weather can change in an instant, and protection is often an afterthought until it’s too late. The Laptop Base Layer is built with padded cushioning, IPX6 waterproof coverage, and an adjustable fit — so you never regret skipping the insurance.

Very slim and comfortable to handle

Very slim and comfortable to handle. A bit difficult to fit a 16in Macbook Pro but can still be rolled 2.5 times for the waterproofing

Matador Laptop Sleeve: Built for Weather, Not for Drops

If you want a lightweight, adjustable, travel-ready sleeve with top-tier weather protection, the Matador Laptop Base Layer hits the mark—especially for MacBook and slim laptops. Just be mindful: it’s not shockproof, and thick gaming rigs may not fit. If you want more structure or drop protection, check out Thule gauntlet Sleeve for commuters

Laptop Baselayer is a winner!

Really great piece of essential gear for those on the go if you may find yourself in the weather. I use it all the time on my boat so that I can work from the lake!
