First, let me get it out right away that I am a huge fan of Peak Design products. It is to the point that there is little left for me to buy that I don't already have, which helps explain the title of this review. I purchased a 6L Everyday Sling earlier this year and quite frankly use it a lot. It is perfect for the times that I want to carry a mirrorless camera, lens and a few person items. It is super durable, super comfortable and customizable. I really love it. So why, you might ask, did I buy another one? I wanted to have one that was slightly smaller for my everyday carry needs. I hate putting stuff in my pockets, but have a daily kit that includes multiple items. The 3L Everyday Sling is absolutely perfect for what I wanted. Now I can keep my stuff in it, and simply grab and go. I also love that in addition to over the shoulder, it easily converts to allow for waist carry. It has all that I love about my 6L Sling in more compact package. Overall, I give Peak Design my highest recommendation for thoughtfully designed, high quality and extremely durable stuff, and I own a lot of it. If you are looking to buy one of these, do it. You will be very happy you did.
I bought this about 3 weeks ago now. There are so many bags out there. Some are very cool, with its pockets and material quality. What works amazing for me with the Everyday Sling is that it doesn’t bother me when I’m wearing it. I have other bags and after a few hours it rubs on my neck. It’s just an annoyance that makes me want to leave my bag in the car lol. This works perfect for me.
I bought this bag direct hoping to stop using a lowepro camera bag that just wasn’t comfortable or convenient. This bag fits over the handle on my pull along, fits my 14” MacBook Pro. Camera body, 24-70, 70-200, 2x telecaster , go pro, osmo pocket 4 and all of the little bits and pieces that I’d use with them. Still room for passport, wallet, universal charger and usb cables.
Bought this after trying a 6L sling from another company. Found I really wanted something bigger for my R5 II with 100-500. Fits everything perfectly, nice to have a bag I can just drop it into if needed (it fit in the 6L, but it was not quick).
So far, the bag is comfortable with my gear for short walks and hikes. I mostly do wildlife, birds, and landscape, so my lenses are on the larger side, and the 200-800 Fit s the only lens that doesn’t fit.
If I had any gripes, it’s that the 10L doesn’t come in the dark blue, and that I wish Peak Design made lens cases that could attach to the sling. The 100-500 has to be horizontal for the quick drop, so no room for another lens. I’d love a matching case that attached to the side or strap.
I recently purchased the 6L bag (kelp) specifically for a trip overseas. At first I was worried the bag would be a bit too big, but honestly it ended up being perfect. The bag fit inside my backpack for easy transit between locations, and while exploring my destinations I was able to perfectly fit my camera, sunscreen, and book in the bag. I'm excited to get multiple years out of this bag!
Pretty happy with it. Packed with features, designed with care and feels pretty sturdy and durable. Also makes a great sling for every carry, when I’m not packing my camera gear. Overall would recommend
As with many others, we are always looking for the perfect bag that fits with our travel needs. This bag works well with my Sony A7C II and a couple of lenses. My only gripe, I would have wished the top zipper to make a U around the top. While the current design is easier to get into, I am a little afraid stuff will fall out. It hasn't yet but the zipper goes from the top to about 1/2 down the bag. Other than that, the bag is perfect and easy to use.
A well-built, versatile sling that punches above its size for camera-plus-a-couple-lenses kits, with genuinely thoughtful organization and weatherproofing. The main caveats: comfort over long days can vary by body type, and hip-carry mode is more of an occasional option than a strong second use case. If you shoot with more gear than one body + two lenses regularly, the 10L is worth a look instead.
