Versatile Hip Sling, For the Right Uses

The 7L is a versatile sling that I use as a hip bag. Unlike my PD 6L sling, this is functional as a hip bag that can squeeze small, such as in a museum, or large, to stuff a light coat plus assorted gear. As a camera-centric bag, my PD 6L sling is better because it is structured to fit and hold my mirrorless plus 2 lenses. I can get only my Z5 and 24-200 in this 7L bag, with or without the XS camera cube. This 7L, however, is ideal for travel because it collapses and expands so easily. The backside cellphone pocket and smaller ones inside (SD cards, etc.) set this bag apart from competitors'. And it has enough strength to carry the weight of my camera + lens on the hip. In summary, the 6L is the perfect shoulder-sling camera bag when structure is important while the 7L is perfect as a hip bag when versatility is needed. Different bags for different purposes.
I love this 7L sling bag. It is exactly what I have needed for a while. Not too big or small. Great for the extra stuff and a lens. Nice outside pocket for a cell phone. Long shoulder crossbody strap is also a perfect and comfortable length. Well done Peak Design!
I bought this with the Xsmall camera cube. Before I purchased this I was on a vacation to Utah and doing a lot of hiking with just my camera and peak camera strap. In some areas it was really slippery terrain and I was worried about falling with no protection for my camera thus purchasing this set up. Also liked having sacra room to carry my glasses and sun glasses with extra cards and batteries. Great product and can hardly wait to try it out on my next adventure.
Excellent design; big enough for an iPad and a down layer, small enough to always be dropped in your larger traveling suitcase. For cameras and tech, I have the smallest cube but I find myself using the sling for just about everything.
