I’ve been using the Peak Design Everyday Sling 3L with an Olympus PEN-F, and while the build quality and materials are excellent, I expected a more refined product considering its premium price.
For a Micro Four Thirds system, the size is excellent. It comfortably fits an Olympus PEN-F with a lens attached, plus up to four compact prime lenses, or alternatively two medium-sized lenses such as the Olympus 40-150mm f/4-5.6 or the Olympus 75mm f/1.8. The FlexFold dividers are well designed and allow many different configurations.
However, there are two design choices that I find disappointing.
The first is the quick-adjust shoulder strap. While the adjustment system is fast and convenient, it doesn’t lock securely enough. During normal use the strap gradually loosens, making the adjuster feel more like a quick-adjust handle than a true locking mechanism. After reading other reviews, it seems this is a common characteristic rather than a defect of my particular bag.
The second issue is the front pocket. Although the zipper runs across the full width of the pocket, it is positioned around the middle instead of at the top. This creates a narrow opening, so to insert something like an iPhone 15 you first have to push it upward inside the pocket before sliding it down. The pocket itself is deep enough, but the zipper placement makes it unnecessarily awkward to use.
Overall, the Everyday Sling 3L is a well-built and thoughtfully designed bag, but for a product at this price point I expected fewer compromises and more attention to practical details. It’s a good bag, but not the flawless premium product I was expecting.
I bought this for my Hasselblad x2d 100c and additional lens and filters… it works great and is very comfortable, but now I wish I got the 10L as the 6L fits my gear but not much else…
I’ve used my 3L everyday shopping bag for about a month now and I must say that it has lived up to its name for sure. I’m able to carry my Sony camera along with all my accessories and it has straps to carry items like a tripod beneath the pouch. Love it and works recommend.
The 6L Peak Design Sling nails the trifecta: style, durability, and peace of mind. The waterproof shell feels premium, the magnetic buckle is addictive, and the internal dividers keep my gear snug. The lifetime warranty sealed the deal—knowing it’s backed for life makes the price tag easier to swallow. Only gripe: the strap can dig in when fully loaded, but adjust the carry style and it’s fine. Overall, a sleek, bombproof companion for daily shoots or travel.
I have been using the 6" Sling for about a month. I needed a bag to hold both of my Leica Q cameras, and this one works perfectly. I have room for the Godox iT32 in the pocket along with filters and an extra battery.
The bag is great for carrying a couple of small to mid size lenses and a camera body. It is designed to be minimalist, so don’t expect to carry all your photography accessories in this bag. It made me think as a photographer what I really want to carry along with me for a shoot (unlike packing everything I need). Overall this does the job. This bag is ideal for street photography where one doesn’t need too much gear. Some areas it can improve is to have bigger (depth) pockets inside the bag as well as a small pouch outside for carrying a small water bottle. Especially when one is traveling or out an about.
