ROAM Tech Sleeve Shortboard Boardbag

The ROAM Tech Sleeve is a remarkably versatile day bag. It offers much more padding and protection than a board sock, yet it's a simpler and more versatile version of a day bag. At ROAM itself, the Tech Sleeve is one of their most frequently used pieces of equipment.

The Velcro closure prevents the risk of jammed zippers if the bag is exposed to salt for a long time. Because the Velcro closes in multiple positions, you can adjust the bag to boards of varying sizes. This makes it much more versatile if you have a quiver and are taking one board to the beach.

This Tech Sleeve is best suited for shortboards from 5'8 to 6'4.

Features

• 5mm high-density padding
• Heat-reflective silver polytarp
• Water and wax-resistant polytarp on the inside
• Double-stitched seams all around
• Carry handle
• Loops for a shoulder strap
• Velcro closure with adjustable length
• Shortboards from 5'8 - 6'4

About size and shape

Most board bags come in different shapes, matching the type of surfboard: Fish, shortboard, longboard, and so on. The main difference is in the shape of the nose and the width. In doubt? Choose a board bag with a wider nose: a shortboard will also fit perfectly in a Fish bag, and if you're taking two surfboards, extra space is only a plus.

A ROAM board bag is made for the surfboard it's labeled for: a 6’8 bag fits a 6’8 board. If the bag itself is 6’8” long, it's actually a 6’6 bag. Not every brand does this, so check carefully.

The width is also important, especially if you're packing two or more surfboards.

Also pay attention to the shape of the tail and whether there's a tailbox or a flared fin compartment, so a surfboard can fit with fins. (Always remove your fins when flying.)
