[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cool bag, perfect for urban or hiking days, I mostly use it for my camera. I do wish it was a bit more sturdy like if the bag falls and the camera isn’t wrapped or in a cube it deff can break what ever is inside. But over all I’m satisfied, it’s a great day pack For the go.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have the 2L and bought the 7L as a gift. They loved it. It’s and Light and has great compartments, the design is simple and sleak.
ALMOST the perfect EDC sling! Needs at least one more zipper pocket and the magnet for the back pocket is very weak. I don't want to put anything in the back pocket because I'm afraid it will fall out.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent Quality. The bag has plenty of pockets and I bring it with me everywhere I travel, Have never had an issue with comfort or style.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Its perfect. A mary poppins bag with a sleek profile and adjustable sizing. Phone pouch is excellent. I dont use the inside dividers much, rather I opt for two XXS mesh bags to organize my wares.
A wonderful outdoorsy sling - with two fatal flaws

I love almost everything about the PD Outdoor sling 4L -- with two deal-breaking exceptions. The first is the weak magnet on the back pocket. Why not use the same strong one as on the new City Sling 2L? That back pocket is perfect for easy access to your phone, while still being secure. The second, and many others have noted, is the strap. At least for the 2L and 4L versions, just use a nice, simple piece of 1.5" seatbelt webbing for your strap; put a STRONG clasp *immediately adjacent* to the bag itself (essential for waist pack security); use a simple buckle for easy dangle management with no tucking/flapping; and lose the sewn-in padding--it's not necessary on what's meant to be an ultralight sling. Pros: ultra light weight, unstructured (except for nice padded back--keep this!), three external pockets (a must), and an internal zippered pocket -- hooray, why do so few slings have this? I want to be able to keep my wallet behind two zippers and out of sight. Unlike some reviewers, I prefer a magnetized security pocket to a zippered one for easy frequent access to my phone (and love the padding so I don't feel it against my stomach). If I'm carrying a passport, I want it in the main compartment in an internal opaque zippered pocket, with my wallet. Hoping for a V2 that fixes the magnet and strap!
