My new Everyday Bag
on January 13, 2025
Posted by: Anonymous
from Frankfurt, Germany
Bought the 7L on Kickstarter and love it. Great feel, great weight and with the XS Cube the perfect bag for my mirrorless camera. Yes, the Cube is not the exact size of the bag, but I fill it up with a packable tote so I always have a shopping bag with me. For me, it's my new Everyday Bag and I love it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not great for camera but decent otherwise
on December 21, 2024
Posted by: MW
from Bay Area, SF
Was planning to use it with the camera cube. Unfortunately it just didn't work out for me. The cube fits what I want, but once it's in the bag, it just doesn't quite gel. There's a bit of space around the cube, but not enough to be useful. I wish the cube either consumed the whole space, or had more room, with a preference for the latter.
The bag, by itself, is decent. My two biggest complaints about the bag (especially coming from other PD bags):
1) I found it inconvenient to unzip one handed.
2) After being spoilt by how nice PD bags feel in had, I'm beginning to despise the grab handle on this bag. Wish it was a little wider or rounder. This just sort of cuts into the hand.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Small and Pricey, not Small and Mighty
on December 15, 2024

Doesn’t feel like a PD product at all, has a cash grab effect. I would not put any hardware in this like how some of the pictures detail. The material has no structure, which is fine - but putting any form of technology in it is a huge risk and is not what this is for. It’s easy to dump stuff in this and call it a day, but competitors have ultra-portable slings that have more thought / build quality into the organization. I’m unsure of where I could justify the premium price on this for a premium product… the strap? Probably not, it’s quite finicky and kind of over-engineered for a small sling. Materials? Definitely not. The visible stitching both inside and out is unflattering. I just feel that this is a rebranded packing cube with a nicer strap. The magnet on the back is weak as well, especially when the sling is packed out moderately - it’s unusable IMO without high risk.
I just feel like Peak Designs’ wabi-sabi approach at this point feels more like an echo chamber within their team versus including customer feedback that’s been out online for years at this point i.e.: hidden AirTag compartment, microfiber linings, etc with a balance between unstructured and structured. Will likely hold off on investing more into PD once the everyday line is revamped. This product is not it for me, and I am surprised at just how much I disliked this.

Perfect fit for Steam Deck
on December 14, 2024
Posted by: CMP
from Seattle, WA
It’s the perfect everyday carry. It fits my everyday items (phone, keys, leatherman, charging brick, etc) plus my Steam Deck (in a Tomtoc case), charger, & Bose noise canceling headphones.
Absolutely love this bag!

Great, but wish it had a spot for the Capture Clip
on December 10, 2024
Posted by: Shuls
from Brooklyn, NY
So far, this has been a fantastic bag for anytime I'm heading somewhere that isn't work. It has ample space for anything you'd need for a hike or long bike ride, or just to head across town for the day.
The only downside I've found—and I kind of expected this to NOT be the case because it's a Peak Design product—is that unlike other Peak Design products, there isn't a great spot for the Capture Clip. At the end of the day, it's not terrible to use a Pro Pad on the bag strap, but I would've loved a dedicated slot (or two) like you get on many of their other bags.

Versatile Hip Sling, For the Right Uses
on December 10, 2024
Posted by: hiker-biker shutterbug
from Gainesville, FL
The 7L is a versatile sling that I use as a hip bag. Unlike my PD 6L sling, this is functional as a hip bag that can squeeze small, such as in a museum, or large, to stuff a light coat plus assorted gear. As a camera-centric bag, my PD 6L sling is better because it is structured to fit and hold my mirrorless plus 2 lenses. I can get only my Z5 and 24-200 in this 7L bag, with or without the XS camera cube. This 7L, however, is ideal for travel because it collapses and expands so easily. The backside cellphone pocket and smaller ones inside (SD cards, etc.) set this bag apart from competitors'. And it has enough strength to carry the weight of my camera + lens on the hip. In summary, the 6L is the perfect shoulder-sling camera bag when structure is important while the 7L is perfect as a hip bag when versatility is needed. Different bags for different purposes.

Small but mighty

Recently purchased my Peak Design Outdoor Sling 7L in Cloud as a replacement of my old Stubble & Co cross body sling and couldn't be happier, the compact design expendable to 7L is a versatile and stylish sling bag. Whether you’re a photographer needing quick access to your gear or just someone who enjoys outdoor activities, this sling meet all my urban and outdoor needs beautifully no longer require to carry out a backpack as well as a sling when traveling. I highly recommend it to anyone considering a new bag for travel or daily use!

Great for travel, meh for cameras
on November 19, 2024

7L is a lot of space and the bag is incredibly lightweight, plenty of pockets and features to make it super useful for traveling and general purpose use.
The issue only arise when the xxs packing cube is used, is great to be able to swap them but they're very thick and fit little equipment, it would be nice to have a larger capacity insert for cameras even if it had thinner walls. Without the insert there are no dividers so you can fit a large camera/lens but not two smaller lenses as they would bump on each other.
