The best sling/shoulder bag I have ever used. It's pricey, but it's equally good, comfortable, and versatile. The quick-adjuster and internal stretchy pockets are very handy. Dividers allow different ways to organize your camera gears. I was looking for a small everyday bag to carry a single DSLR body and 1 lens, so the 3L was the perfect choice for me.
Really loving the sling series from PD. I owned the original one, then the 3L one, and then recently upgraded the size to the 6L version. I loved everything about the 3L sling, but just needed a little more size. I'm surprised how sleek the 6L one felt while adding the room I was looking for.
Once you put a Sony A7R2 with 16-35 and a 55mm lens, there is only a little space left for accessories. Its much smaller than I imagined but the build quality is impeccable and a lot of thought has gone into the small details. Overall a very stylish and comfy bag.
The 3L makes an acceptable cross body for my everyday essentials: asthma inhaler, bulky tube device for the inhaler, pulse/oximeter, gigantic prescription sunglasses, a few blister sleeves of common medicines, and headphones. This all goes in the main compartment, and it’s easy to access everything. I actually added an extra divider from my backpack.
My issue is that it’s not nearly as well-thought out as their other bags. And with a small space, mistakes really show.
Problems:
Needs more color options. I chose solid black, but would have preferred blue or any *color*. A fanny pack is a statement piece. Even just like a color stripe would help.
It’s kinda ugly. The backpack is similarly shaped but looks sleek with the colored handles for accent and the tapered top. The everyday is a tub with a string.
Exterior zip pouch is difficult to access. Hard to get my hand in there, and my hands are small. Yet once you weasel into it, the space is huge! I’d love to actually access this. A U shaped zipper opening would help greatly, and/or two side zippers, with the front folding out to various pockets like the backpack side panels. As is, I don’t use this as it’s too inconvenient.
I’d like an attachment point for the key cord inside the pouch, preferably the front pouch for easy access without opening the whole thing. TBH the lack is a huge oversight. I can use an outer loop, and then what? Let the keys swing free? Leave the zipper partially open so I can tuck them away? Almost anyone planning to go out with this bag will have keys.
I wish this had a tablet pocket (I knew it didn’t when I ordered it.) It holds everything I want but when I take my iPad mini out stuff shifts that blocks me from putting it back in easily. I got it for everyday carry so it’s a little bulkier than I need given I don’t have fragile camera gear. Other than that this bag is my favorite.
