Voyager Sling Backpack / The North Face
The Base Camp Voyager Sling takes the laminated fabric of the Base Camp Duffel and shrinks it into an 11-litre everyday sling. The body is 300D recycled polyester with a TPU coating and a non-PFC water-repellent finish, so it shrugs off light rain the way the duffel does, in a far smaller bag. Inside, a padded tablet sleeve sits against the back, the main compartment carries a secure-zip pocket and two small organisers, and an external zip pocket and a phone pocket on the strap hold the items reached for most. A storable stabiliser strap stops it swinging when worn across the body, and reflective logos add low-light visibility. It is built for short urban movement and travel rather than the trail.
Design intent
- +Borrowing the Base Camp Duffel's TPU-coated recycled-polyester fabric gives a small everyday sling the same rain resistance and abuse tolerance as the full-size bag, scaled down to a daily carry.
- +An 11-litre body with a padded tablet sleeve and a stabiliser strap places it between a minimal day pouch and a small bag, sized for a commute or a travel day without becoming a backpack.
Trade-offs
- -300D recycled polyester is practical and light rather than a material that invites long-term attention; it performs for everyday use but lacks the substance of a heavier ballistic-nylon carry.
- -The single adjustable sling strap suits across-the-body wear in one orientation; it is an everyday-convenience bag rather than a load-hauling or all-day-comfort system.
