Color is great, organizational features and pockets are well thought out. Bag is adjustable in size so you can carry a little or a bunch of stuff. I have never had luck with smaller sling type bags because l like to carry quite a bit with me- planner, a pouch with random stuff (lens cleaner, nail clippers, etc), and whatever project I’m working on (art stuff or crochet). With this bag I can fit it all and most of the time I still have room to tuck away a small purchase as I’m out and about. The elastic cords on the outside have come in handy multiple times for my rain jacket or puffy jacket when you’re out during shoulder season and never sure if you’re gonna be hot or cold. Love this bag so much I bought two so I could give one to my best friend and she uses it all the time as well. Also appreciate the unique color. The outdoor gear world tends to lean in on really exaggerated gender colors- think coyote for men’s gear and pastel purple for women. This color is so unique and truly unisex while not being boring. The fabric has held up well to pretty constant use and I am not careful with it. Strap is well thought out in width and amount of padding- comfortable without looking like a through hiking hip belt across your chest. Also appreciate the feel of the fabric- it slides well across all fabric for easy access back to front without sheen but also doesn’t pick up any lint or dog hair. Stress points are sewn well, it’s a daily use bag and has been since it arrived. If anything were to happen to it I would be ordering another right away, which I can’t say for almost all the other bags I have tried.
It has only one drawback: it is too small for me if we are talking about photography. It will only hold a small camera cube: there is no space for additional lens. But still I love it. Used it a lot on my travel to carry my personal stuff when touring.
Bought this during the kickstarter campaign. I was originally looking at the 10L sling and thought it too bulky so this size is perfect, plus it can shrink with the bungee cords. Love the phone pocket too
The form factor is great for travel. Empty, folds down to almost nothing. When I arrive at my destination I fill it up with my camera gear and away I go. I find the size perfect for my needs.
Bought it a while ago and use it for a lot of things. Carrying my camera and a couple of lenses around or just as a small carry-all for walking around the city. The expansion options and cords come in very handy. Love it!
I bought the Outdoor Sling 7l as an EDC when I’m travelling. One of the big advantages over many other slings is that it packs flat in my carry-on (Soon to be a Roller Pro!) and it very light weight. It’s just the right size for my camera and everything else I need on my travels. The ability to strap on a light weight top or waterproof using the straps is also a great plus.
