Great carry design!

I bought this 2 years back and have never been happier! Love the sideways sling carry. The strap is also padded as compared to V1 so that reduces fatigue and soreness. Also love how big the front compartment is!
I would recommend this to a friend!

The highest quality.

I got this bag around March, 6L version. I've been using it to carry my Fujifilm X-T4, 16-55mm F2.8 and 70-300mm along with a solid aluminum tripod. I take it regularly to Mexico for documentary work in tough conditions outdoors (120+ degrees, cactus and dense scrub-forest, only dirt roads for hours). I just returned from a couple weeks taking the bag all over Europe for a different media project. Hands down an incredible, durable bag made to the highest standards. I can't wait to grab a Peak Design backpack.

Small, but exactly what I needed.

I went for the 3L version of the sling because I wanted a smaller bag. My main backpack is still my PD Everyday, but sometimes that's just more space than I need.
Things I like about it:
- Great design which colour matches to my main bag (I have both in Ash)
- Comfortable strap
- Easy to use zips
- Not too bulky and doesn't get in the way

I've used it in two ways so far and packed like this.
For a quick trip into town to do some street photography and pick up a few small things:
- Fujifilm XT30 with a prime attached (35mm F2)
- 60% of the bag as free space for holding shopping
- USB C cable and a power bank in the front pocket
- Fujifilm XT30 with a prime attached (35mm F2)
- 60% of the bag as free space for holding shopping
- USB C cable and a power bank in the front pocket
Used as a kit bag when photographing a gig at a local indie venue:
- XT30 and 56mm Prime
- Two spare primes (35 and 23 F2)
- Power Bank and cable in front pocket as before
- XT30 and 56mm Prime
- Two spare primes (35 and 23 F2)
- Power Bank and cable in front pocket as before
And this is the SMALL version of the bag! A larger size could easily be a sizable EDC foe those who don't like backpacks.

Bought as a camera bag, became my everyday bag

I originally bought the 3L Sling a year ago to carry a Nikon 3500 plus a prime lens in the city. They both fit nicely, although a bit tight. The bag is very comfortable and durable and gives me peace of mind when it rains.
Although the size limits how much camera gear you can carry, this bag is excellent for carrying everyday items. I usually pack a journal, my phone, a pen, headphones and a mini umbrella. It's very practical and looks nice. After more than a year of use it's held up very nicely. 100% recommended.

Best sling ever (6l)
on July 30, 2022
Posted by: Paul Hoppe Photography
from Berlin, Germany
I got through so many slings and shoulder bags before buying this one. The price always stopped me from purchasing Peak Design but it is worth the money. I carry my X-E4, a water bottle, battery, charger, cables and another lens and some smaller items with it. It is my go-to bag for small daytrips, when shopping, picking up my kid...like a handbag for men. Love it. 6l is the perfect size for me. 3l would not really fit a water bottle (i need a special one from Nalgene for the 6l) and the big one is just too bulky.

Perfect Daily carry Dad bag

I have always been a fan of peak design, but up till now mostly just used their larger travel bags and organization products. This sling was a game changer for me. I had been looking fro something to be able to tote my water bottle and large iPad Pro around and this fire the bill. Fits what I need with spots open that I can fill with a camera or coffee. I highly recommend.

6L too small for Nikon D850
on August 14, 2022
Posted by: HoustonJAM
from Houston,TX
I really love this bag, but the 6L just isn't big enough to get the Nikon D850 in and out even with a small prime lens.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Product with Limited Use Cases
on August 15, 2022
Posted by: Sam
from Los Angeles, Ca
Got the 6L to be my "personal item" on a 10day trip to Croatia. Some of the airlines we used had very restrictive carry-on requirements, but it turned out they didn't really enforce them and I could have got away with at least the 20L Everyday Backpack.
Pros:
-Held up well as my only bag for a summer day at Plitvice, carrying a mirrorless camera, fairly large lens, the PD aluminum tripod, and a few other odds and ends. Handled it capably
-Solid construction all around, material resistant to soaking in dirt and spills
-Good placement on the external carry loops. Perfect for the PD tripod or a jacket.

Cons:
-The primary strap was often awkward to adjust. It was hard to keep the extra strap length tucked away, and the strap itself could have been more comfortable on the heavier loadouts.
-Carrying the bag in waist-pack mode eas a non-starter for me. It was uncomfortable to the point of being painful if there was any sort of weight in the pack. Also the hook-and-loop connection you have to use in that mode is very hard to undo if the pack is tight enough to stay on your waist. My guess is the 3L is much better at this mode.

All said, it's a well-made pack that punches above its 6L weight class, but I can't imagine a time I would truly prefer it over a larger backpack or a more comfortable waist pack. The Navy color is smart though, so I may still try to make it work as a camera-murse in dressy situations.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
