Learn how to pack and use the Slim Brief with the 48-Hour Travel System for organized work trips, meetings, and conferences.
Quick answer
Use the Slim Brief as a standalone work bag for meetings and conferences, or slide it into the 48-Hour Travel System's Carryall to keep your tech gear organized while you travel.
Why the Slim Brief fits the 48-Hour Travel System
The Slim Brief is designed as a key component of the modular 48-Hour Travel System. Its slim profile fits neatly in a dedicated compartment of the Carryall, so you can keep your laptop, tablet, and tech gear separate from your clothes and travel essentials.
Using the Slim Brief this way means you can pull it out when you reach your destination and head straight to a meeting without unpacking your whole bag. It also works on its own for shorter trips or as an insert inside other big bags you already own.
How to pack and use the Slim Brief
- Pack the Slim Brief for your workday: Place your laptop in the padded compartment, your tablet in the dedicated slot, and use the remaining pockets for chargers, cables, pens, and documents. Keep heavier items closest to the back to balance the load. Check that your laptop and tablet are snug and won't shift during travel.
- Slide the Slim Brief into the Carryall: Insert the packed Slim Brief into the dedicated compartment of the 48-Hour Travel System's Carryall. Make sure it sits flat and doesn't bulge into the main compartment. Zip the compartment fully to keep the brief secure during transit.
- Pull it out when you arrive: Once you reach your destination, unzip the compartment and lift the Slim Brief out. Use it as your standalone bag for the day—it holds your essentials for meetings and conferences. Before you leave, double-check that you have everything you need for the day, so you don't have to go back to the Carryall.
