Our take

Tony AllenWritten from the sources on this page, not from a loan unit.

All four professional reviews, from 2018 and 2019, are positive: they find it well made, well organised and comfortable to carry, with a padded compartment that takes a 15-inch laptop. The three written reviews agree it has no room for a mixer or controller, and no owner reviews were found. Buy it to carry a laptop, DVS or USB setup and gig essentials; for a controller, Digital DJ Tips points to Jetpack's larger bags or a flight case.

What it is

Status, October 2026: current. JetPack Bags still sells the Slim in black, camouflage and gray (JetPack Bags).

What it is

The JetPack Slim is a DJ backpack from Orbit Concepts, the company behind the JetPack range of DJ bags. It went on sale on 25 October 2016 as a slimmer, day-bag version of the larger JetPacks, with a travel-friendly, TSA-approved laptop compartment (Orbit Concepts, archived).

It is built for a laptop and gig essentials rather than hardware. Per Digital DJ Tips, both compartments open flat. The laptop side has a padded sleeve with a velcro strap, two sleeves for records and slipmats, and a removable slim CD case, with a small zipped pocket on top for USB drives and earplugs. The main side has two velcro pockets for items such as a cartridge case, a microphone or a laptop charger, a large elastic mesh pouch for headphones and cables, two more mesh pouches, a key clip and sleeves for business cards.

Digital DJ Tips lists it at 470 x 76 x 190 mm and 1.54 kg, with adjustable straps and air mesh cushioning on the back. A mixer or controller does not fit; JetPack's larger bags or a flight case cover that.

JetPack offers embroidery of one or two DJ or company logos on the front as a paid option, usually 5 to 7 inches on the longest side.
