15 Jun 10 – Shinnorie recently launched GO! Sleeve for iPad, the first of a new line of water resistant iPhone and iPad sleeves designed for active outdoor users. Features include the use of high tech waterproof fabric, the unique ZipSeal™ closure system and lightweight construction for all weather protection.

Designed for outdoor usage, the GO! Sleeve is an easy-to-use iPad sleeve with a velcro flap cover. Beneath the hood, is the dual-track ZipSeal™ closure system; the first of its kind used on a fabric protection sleeve. Improvised from industrial ziplock, the ZipSeal uses custom made, industrial strength tracks to give added protection against moisture and dust.

Next, GO! Sleeve introduces the all new CrossClimate™ fabric, which makes water droplets roll off the bag without wetting the surface nor contents.

Most fabric is made of lengths of yarn woven into sheets. Typical waterproof fabric is made by bonding a polyurethane or PVC coat onto an existing fabric by ‘filling up’ the gaps between the weaves. While this method of coating results in an impermeable and waterproof material, it often compromises on the weight and leaves a rubbery and unnatural surface texture.

With microfibre technology, Shinnorie’s CrossClimate™ performance fabric has gaps between weaves that are smaller than water molecules, but bigger than air molecules. The benefit? Water resistant, soft, comfortable textiles that works great for weather proofing yet allows heat dissipation. Similar fabrics are often used in alpine jackets for mountaineering or skiing.

GO! Sleeve is padded with foam and lined with microfleece to prevent scratches. It doubles as a screen cleaner for the iPad’s glass display with every slide of the device in and out of the ipad sleeve. The internal size fits up to an Apple iPad Case; making this iPad sleeve an ideal water resistant solution for iPads already using a plastic or silicone wrap.
