The briefcase, stripped down to the good stuff.
Meet Slim. The smallest briefcase we make, built with absolutely no intention of behaving like one.
At just 2" deep, Slim is for carrying what you actually need and leaving the rest behind. Laptop. Charger. Notebook. A few essentials. Done. No giant main compartment begging to be filled with crap you won't use.
We build the exterior from seriously tough 1,050 Denier Ballistic Nylon and line the inside in bright orange ECOPAK™ EPX Fire. Two oversized YKK AquaGuard® zippers open nearly the entire bag, so getting to your gear doesn't require excavation.
Inside, your laptop gets its own fully padded section, along with additional organization and our matte black metal key clip. Around back, a 9" MIL-SPEC webbing trolley strap slides over your luggage handle when you're moving through airports.
Carry it by the substantial 2" MIL-SPEC webbing handles or clip on the removable shoulder strap.
Slim is clean. Compact. Ridiculously overbuilt.
Basically, we made less briefcase. Not less DEFY.
PROUDLY HAND-CRAFTED IN CHICAGO SINCE 2008
What is Ballistic Nylon?
What we know today as Ballistic Nylon is a multifilament high tenacity, 2X2 basket weave nylon fabric, usually made with 1050D or 840D yarns. The name Ballistic goes back to the Vietnam war era when it was used for anti-fragmentation ballistic jackets for the military. Multiple layers of the thick fabric were laminated together to help stop exploding shrapnel and fragmentation. By the late ’70s the military upgraded their armor to lightweight Kevlar® and ceramic plate technology that could stop actual bullets. Then in the ’80s Ballistic Nylon had found its way into the consumer market. At a time when heavy-duty, strong luggage was the flavour of the day, the term ballistic struck a chord with customers and the name stuck. The slick finish, heavy weave and excellent strength still make it a popular choice today, although as a single layer fabric it’s lost most of its actual ballistic credentials.
