Sling bags have become quite the topic these days, and many brands are designing them for everyday carry (EDC), travel, and beyond. It’s worth noting that some sling bags can function as waist packs as well (or hip packs, bum bags, fanny packs-whatever you want to call them). We have a couple of hybrids in this video, but overall, we focus on the sling style. Make sure to check out the reviews and guides on our website for more info: packhacker.com/

Maxpedition Tech Sling b/c it allows me to travel light and fast with a laptop or tablet. It's worth a review on Pack Hacker!

@bangalorebobbel 3 года назад

I love a very small and quite cheap bag from Decathlon. It is the forclaz Multipocket Bag reference 8619465. Works as sling bag or belt pouch, big enough to fit all travel essentials such as passport, smartphone, earplugs etc. in and still small enough to fit in the small seat pocket in front of you in the airplane. Does also a good job as pipe bag or cosmetics bag or as a unremarkable first aid kit bag if you are out on a group hike or on the way with your kids to the next playground.

@AtlasPainkiller 3 года назад

The pacsafe 325 10L is my daily driver. The security features give me peace of mind when commuting, and the organization is great. When traveling I can stuff all essentials and even a tablet.

Just bought the Moment Fanny Sling 2L Black Ripstop and bring it to singapore for 5 days trip. It can fit my: - fuji xt-10 + 35mm lens (lens attatched) - 1 extra battery - 20k mah power bank - Charging cable - card holder - Clip of cash - airpods pro - passport - key set (orbitkey) - sunglasses - pen - small umbrella (attached underneath the bag) - Watter bottle (on the side of the bag, attached with S-biner, but a bit dangling) - A poncho for raniny days (on the other side of the bag) a bit snugged for all the items but if either the camera or powerbank is removed, it feels better to zipped and to carry

@MichaelWebber 3 года назад

Patagonia Atom or its cousin the Black Hole Sling; but both of these Patagonia slings suffer from being right shoulder carry only, and I think the final portion of the strap should be more thicker and wider. The latest PacSafe 4L hip pack finally comes with a waist strap that is long enough to extend into sling carry. I like passing muster at the ticket counter and gate by wearing it on my waist (it doesn’t count against my carryon bag count), then adjust the strap for sling wear. In sling wear mode, all the PacSafes will carry over either shoulder, and I appreciate the extra security features on the crowded subway.

@jim_bocho 3 года назад

To support the local bag hero from Hamburg, I’d go for the Heimplanet Pocket Sling - or actually I would have pulled the trigger already, but it was sold out. Now I revived my first, beaten up sling and loving it (again), as I needed some more space compared to my Pinqponq Nik, but didn’t want to carry around the 5l Peak Design Everyday Sling... well, everyday.

@kotadawndragon 3 года назад

I like the Kavu sling bag and use it as my daily bag. The casual aesthetic just works for me. It's big enough to fit an 11" iPad and I can stuff a surprising amount of things in it. Only downside is the lack of organization. I ended up DIYing some with some small pouches and velcro. I'm not a big fan of everything just falling to the bottom of the bag.

@PackHacker 3 года назад

Glad to hear the Kavu is working for you, Kota! We get what you're saying about the organization, using pouches can really help and it's awesome to hear that you were able to come up with a solution that works better for you. DIY Velcro is a great idea, thanks for sharing! - Rebecca

But are there slings (choices; plural) for the Canon 1Dx iii or cameras with battery grips? Sometimes i don't want to carry a back pack or messenger bag.

@yvetteshore8427 Год назад

I’ve been using my Osprey Daylite sling for a few years. Love the durability, comfort, and the organization, but sometimes I need a little more room, especially when I’m traveling or carrying my iPad. I just ordered a couple of variations of the Kavu to try to solve that. The regular or switch sling will hopefully do the trick. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to shoulder bags after getting used to slings.

Any slings or day packs that have loop inside that arent from vertx, 511, maxpedition, vanquest? condor? In the summer months and as hot as it has been, I have been muscle shirted, shorts, and flip flops for months, its been hard to conceal carry!

@mad0214 3 года назад

I just bought the Moment fanny pack and I love everything about it, but the strap is just not big enough for a larger than average guy. I wear a size 2x shirt and I'm a 42-inch waist and I can't get it around my waist and in sling mode, which is what I prefer, the strap basically hangs on my neck and just goes under my underarm on the other side, whiich means the clamps are basically right under my collarbone. The only semi-comfortable way to wear it seems to be over one arm, ut then it hangs kind of awkwardly. The organization and size is perfect for what I'm looking for to carry my Canon M50 with 22mm pancake lens, iPhone, minimal wallet, extra batteries, pocket notebook, pen and when I need it my manfrotto pixi, so it's unfortunate a larger strap wasn't included. Off to look for something that will fit better.

@venom5809 3 года назад

I have an Osprey Daylite sling and I love it, I use it 9 times out of 10 over my Peak Design 5L sling. Super comfortable and looks nice, of course it there was going to be bad weather, or carrying camera gear I am grabbing my Peak Design.

@PackHacker 3 года назад

Sounds like you've got a great setup going on there, venom5809! It's great that you've been able to get the versatility out of the Daylite, but you're still covered with your PD Sling should you need something more specific. Thanks for sharing your go-to slings with us! 😊 - Rebecca

Mine is the Chrome Kadet. It may look small but you can really fit an insane amount of stuff in there, given its size. Would not trade it for anything else. ❤️ Edit: the Maxpedition Jumbo Versipack is also pretty awesome. Built like a tank but it has become pretty expensive for what it is. Got mine 10+ years ago when they were still under 100 bucks. Still going strong.

Solid choices here, Bottle Of Fries! Thanks for sharing your favorites with us. We had a great experience with the Chrome Kadet too. It really is incredible how much you can fit inside.

Is there a reason all these slings are so small? The backpacks from similar video start at above 2x the largest sling, that is a huge gap. Personally i have been using a cheap dufflebag with shoulder strap, but that tend to put some weight on the neck due to no stabilizing strap. Works well, way larger than these but need to have a hand on the strap if loaded to much

@venom5809 3 года назад

Tons of people use them, you can just look at the comments on here and see that. If you were into photography and wanted to walk around somewhere like a neighborhood and take photos, if you had a big bag or backpack somewhere like the suburbs you will probably have the cops called for looking suspicious. Now you might argue just take the camera and no bag, but then it might rain, you might want accessories for your camera, maybe water and some snacks etc so a sling is a pretty inconspicuous way to carry stuff plus it's very comfortable. I use my Osprey Daylite for when I go on long walks in the summer with my dog, take poopy bags, water for him and I, etc and it's great and my Peak Design is waterproof so I can walk around places with my camera and don't have to worry if it rains. A sling vs a backpack is like the difference between a DSLR camera and you cellphone, a backpack people get suspicious, a sling no one cares. LOL
