FAQs
Can this bag fit a 13-inch laptop?
The Hot Shot Sling is designed for smaller tablets and personal items; it is generally not recommended for 13-inch laptops due to its tapered, minimalist shape.
Is the material waterproof?
The bag is made of durable Nylon, which offers good resistance to light rain, but it is not fully waterproof or submersible.
Can I wear this over either shoulder?
The 3-point system is primarily designed for one-sided carry; however, the straps are adjustable to accommodate preference for either left or right shoulder positioning.
What is the weight of the bag?
The bag weighs approximately 560g.
Does it come with a warranty?
The North Face provides a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Please check their official website for specific coverage details.
Troubleshooting
The strap keeps loosening during activity
Ensure the webbing is properly threaded through the adjustment buckle; pull the tail of the strap firmly after setting your desired length to lock the tension.
Bag feels unstable when walking
Re-adjust the 3-point stability strap and ensure the compression straps are tightened to secure the internal load.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your sling, first adjust the main strap length so the bag sits comfortably across your back. Then, tighten the 3-point stabilizer strap until the bag feels secure against your torso.
Care Instructions:
- Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent as needed.
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can degrade the Nylon fabric and structural integrity.
- Allow to air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
- Avoid overloading the bag beyond its 15-litre capacity to prevent stress on the zippers and strap points.
