I have the everyday backpack and am very familiar with the quality of Peak Design. That carries into the 3L Sling. I use it for my mirrorless camera along with a little room for other EDC stuff — like glasses & phone.Highly recommend.
I’ve been using the v1 5L sling for the past 5 years. It’s become my favorite shooting bag for my Fuji MILC system. (Easier to “run and gun” than the Domke bag that proceeded it.) I got the 6L sling a couple of weeks ago. It’s everything the original was…plus just a little bit more. The more means the zippers move freely, not catching on the top of my gear. I can add a prime atop the shorter zoom. Or leave the 1.4x teleconverter attached to the long lens. More room to stash strobist gear too. The removable tripod straps are a nice upgrade too. I now longer need to lash my tripod and nano stand to the top handle.
I was initially concerned about carrying a bigger bag. In practice the additional bulk isn’t noticeable, but I do appreciate the added volume.
Bought the 5L V1 sling back in 2018, and had it replaced via warranty with the 6L V2 recently: couldn't be happier with the new version. It fixes a few design quirks with the original: zippers are sturdier, and there's plenty of vertical space. A bit more rigid, as well, which is good.

I recently received my 6L Sling and I love it! It is exactly what I needed. Solid, nice design, versatile and good price. My Canon M6 Mark II with 50mm lens + two more lenses (telephoto 55-250 + 15-45mm) fits in including my charger and a few other essentials. I am already looking forward to purchasing more from Peak Design so I can focus on the joy of photography and not how to drag all my stuff around!
I got the 3L sling bag and it seems to be the right size for an X100 size camera and some accessories and room for sunglasses, tissue papers, wires etc. The quality is definitely good, I only wish the logo material was made out of leather like the grey color version, just something to age a little and patina.
Very robust and premium bag. You sacrifice space for that tho and it could maybe be a bit thinner but pack more stuff, like ipad, batteries and other hard stuff that need space. I find it a bit too tight with my mirrorless and one extra lens. Fitting keys, batteries, cell phone and wallet is a bit hard.
But it’s great if you really consider the space you need and you’re ok on sacrificing internal space for extra protection.
