The first advantage is that it is very light. The second is that it can be easily mounted on a travel carrier. And it has enough storage space and good expandability.

Almost perfect.

After much deliberation I purchased the 10L, primarily to allow capacity for light mirrorless slr camera carriage.
The origami dividers are higher quality than I was expecting. Flexible design, more than just dividers and shelves. For potential buyers, there's what I describe as a bounce fold when you push the top section of a divider in either direction. This causes the divider to fold at its midpoint (as it's designed to) by approximately 45 degrees, allowing a full-sized water bottle to be stowed. This was a key decision for me in getting the 10L (the other sizes are too small for this, but squat 500ml water bottles would be fine in the 6L).
As an industrial designer, the release mechanism on the strap is really nice to loosen while on, but tricky to tighten. A compromise I'm sure PD are aware of - it makes sense to be able to loosen easily if you've initially set for a hugging fit. Once you've set your strap length (experimennt with this when you first get your sling), you're pretty much good to go. For me, long strap ("all out" once set) = chill access and easy swing around from the back, short strap (the tighest adjustment once set) = ready for running to the train or your off-piste commute. Seriously quite stable.
Good lookin, high quality, functional. What else do you need? Well done Peak Design!

I am a student and this 10 sling suit all my need for school necessity. I always put my 13'inch laptop(Asus Zenbook S13, now I switched to Dell XPS13, Both are easily fit), laptop charger, Hydro Flask, A4 size folder for school papers, and stationery. There is still enough space for a T-Shirt and a short if I want to put them there. Perfect size for my school day.

Low Profile & Versatile
on April 9, 2020

I was ultimately looking for a small lightweight bag for my 6D mkII. I kept the 5L and the 6L they both work as hip bags and or slings. I love that they have a spot for the capture clip and I've found that to be very convenient when riding or walking. Its been a great experience and I highly recommend you get one or more I absolutely love these bags and I use them all the time. My current configuration in the main compartment is my 6D with a 40mm lens, my cannon flash and remote, Slide strap on top, the inside pockets to the left and right hold my flash gels. The zip pocket inside the lid holds spare batteries, pens, cleaning stuff and whatever else I think i may need. My joby tripod fits underneath the bag with the added straps. Depending on how my shoots go I'll change them up to my needs. The 5L I use to carry more lens if I want more. When shooting the hip function really makes it convenient to swap gear as needed. The front pocket I don't really use much but the slide strap build into the bags are the biggest thing I loved. The 5L doesn't have a tripod holder but the legs fit behind the strap so I can still bring it. Thank you for creating these bags as they serve a great purpose in my creative flow.

Excellent sling. Comforatable

I found the 10L could be about 11L's and still be great. Overall sling v2 is awesome, can adjust the 'cushion'. Haven't used it too much, but carrying a a6600 + extra lense & a nikon fm10 film. Both fit with a few extra inside. Snug but works!

Sling 3L
on April 15, 2020

Love love love this little bag, the only change I'd ask is to make the front pocket a bit larger, and I'd also love to see one extra loop added to the bottom so you can attach a strap that goes across the chest to make the bag more secure when riding a bike or motorcycle. Other than that's it's perfect for my mirrorless gear.

A Surprisingly Robust And Elegantly Stylish Camera Bag
on April 30, 2020
Posted by: Anonymous
I recently purchased the 6L Everyday Sling V2 bag in ash color to match my Peak Leash camera strap. I really like how the redesign makes this newer version much slimmer and does does stick out as far from your body like other bulkier bags.
It is quite small, but once opened, it reveals a surprisingly roomy interior for a bag of this size. It is great for my mirrorless setup including a Fuji X-E3 and 2 lenses - plus specific pockets for batteries etc. for a lightweight day trip without the need for carrying every piece of gear under the sun. Also, don't be fooled - although the fabric looks like it could be made into a great-looking suit -- it is rugged and keeps it shape firmly and has good padding. The small leather touch point accents puts it in the realm of good style and design without being pretentious.
A very happy camera man indeed! JR

10L

I use it to have my camera every day going to work by bike. This way I don't loose opportunity in my time off to take photograph. All my gear is to heavy for a real full backpack on a bike for long ride. This messenger bag is convenient for the fact that it swings around and allow all the photograph set up to be made standing without putting the bag down or using a table. The other thing of major concern is the weather protection and the padding of the bag are very great. If anything append on my bike that damages the camera, it will probably be because I have suffered myself severe injuries. And at that point photography will be secondary. Other bag may ave better fabric to repel water, but this one is built in a way that leave no gaps for water to get in. I live in Victoria BC, and it rain half of the year over here. I did not have any issues with my gear getting wet and I bike an hour and half a day in the week. So in short more is less.
