Extroardinarily versatile
on April 12, 2025
Posted by: Marie
from Pullman, WA
I’ve had this a few months now, and I’ve used it as a (1) dedicated camera carry including an XS camera cube and a tripod attached via the adjustable cord hook loops, as a (2) casual handbag with a mirrorless camera/pancake lens packed in, as a (3) handbag with a mirrorless attached to the strap via capture clip, as a (4) carry-all for spontaneous adventures when my phone—Peak Design Case protected, of course—is my only camera, and as a (5) casual handbag. There are seemingly endless ways to use it. The most surprising feature is how well the strap handles a capture clip and camera; the bag doesn’t feel unbalanced or weird in any way.
I am so enthusiastic about this product that I wrote this review months after my purchase. I love all my Peak Design products, but this 7L Sling holds a special place in my heart.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not Perfect, but a great bag!
on April 15, 2025
Posted by: RobM
from Scotland
I bought this in anticipation of a trip to the USA knowing I'd be spending time in both NYC and Washington DC and wanted something reasonably small [easier for getting into museums etc] and easy to use but big enough for my gear [Nikon Z6 III with L bracket and Z24-200mm lens plus additional Z 40mm].
When it came at first it was a bit lacking in rigidity but I didn't't want to add the PD camera insert which I thought would take up too much space. Instead I used some spare dividers for another bag which provided just enough stiffness without reducing the available space significantly.
Tramped round NYC and DC for a total of about 10 days with the bag with me pretty much all the time [5-6 hours each day] and it was great. Once the strap was set right it just sits in the small of my back comfortably but swings round easily to access the camera. the small additional strap is useful to hold it in place but is easy to detach if you want to swing the bag either for access or riding the subway.
The front pocket was fine for holding my Slide strap [most of the time I just had the Cuff attached] and I used the rear pocket to take a box with spare batteries and memory card [I kept my phone in my trouser cargo pocket where it's easier to reach].
The main [perhaps only] criticism is that the strap buckle is a little too easy to undo and it's possible to unclip it while attaching the secondary support strap - once you're aware of the problem its ok, but it still caught me out a couple of times.

I use both 2L and 7L and I really like them both!

I bought both the 2L and 7L Outdoor Sling and have used them both. The 2L is my everyday carry and I love it. It has a nice shape even though it's not structured, I really like the quality of it, the zipper etc. My only little gripe with it is that I can't get the "padded" part exactly right if I want a snug fit in front but it's good enough. What I have in the 2L is my sunglasses, a pack of gum, wallet, a bunch of keys in different key rings and car keys, airpods pro and some tissue paper since I'm a dad to small kids.
The 7L I use occasionally but it works great for those purposes, mostly when we bike ride as a family I can store snacks, keys, wipes, tissues, toys, some clothes like gloves if it gets too hot etc.The stabilizer strap is great, it works great when cycling. When I ride my bike alone I can also have my drone with me in my bag, I have the DJI Mini 4 Pro and its bag can fit nicely inside of this, I can still have some other things around it and because it has a stabilizer strap then I can actually bike ride with this which I couldn't with only the Mini 4 Pro and its bag.
I understand some people have had the strap come off but that has never happened to me, I really like the buckle.

Hidden Gems

If you take the time to watch the videos and learn all the hidden gems, you'll really love this bag. It's so we'll thought out, very light weight and just the perfect addition to an all day carry.

bag that does the job it was hired to do
on May 26, 2025
Posted by: kkddss
i bought this a few weeks ago for an outdoor camping trip because i wanted something that could stand up to the elements and protect my carry items. out of the box it had plenty of customizable fit options with adjustable straps on both end with strap management built into the bags so i was able to get everything just right. happy to report on the trip that it withstood rain, cold, 20-25 miles of hiking, and a little bit of dancing as well all while packed to the brim. no malfunctions or issues to speak of although i feel the stabilizer strap could be a bit stronger and more intuitive with better store options. all around though, happy with the bag.

Amazingly deep love in spite of two big flaws
on May 27, 2025
Posted by: Mickey Tango
from Vermont
The 7 liter arrived just in time for a two week trip to Spain. I previously reviewed the 2 liter. There are flaws but I am ecstatic about this bag. It feels so perfect and is so adaptable. It has become my daily bag because you can cinch it down so it is very slim, or expand it. And then you can add still more by strapping a jacket or water bottle on the bottom. In the front pocket I have a PD one liter cube with all the small things I need plus keys and ear pods. The main pocket has wallet, passport, a note book, sunglass case, magazine or book plus a light rain parka. The sling is very light weight and comfortable and zippers work well. It could fit my mirrorless camera maybe with an extra lens if I delete most of the other stuff. Even stuffed I didn't have to check it in museums. Amazingly, it just becomes part of your body and I found I could, when slung across front, very comfortably wear my PD every day back pack while still having quick access to necessities. As I noted in my 2 liter review, the magnetic latch pocket for the phone is a joke. If you turn it upside down, the phone immediately falls out--beware! And when we got caught ion the rain, the phone started getting wet. But if you don't turn it upside down it is pretty convenient to pull the phone in and out. The other flaw: I've been reading the reviews about the latch accidentally opening and the bag dropping to the ground, not really believing it. And then it happened to me....twice. Luckily, I'm not carrying a camera. I wonder if PD will take responsibility for this - the way Volkswagen did with my diesel - and send us better straps. In spite of these flaws, I am so totally in to this bag!

Minimalist Travel Companion
on June 7, 2025
Posted by: EricB
I purchased this sling for a two-week trip to Croatia, and it turned out to be the perfect travel companion. I needed something compact and packable that could still fit my Nikon Zf w/ 40mm Prime paired with the Camera Cube V2 XS (which deserves its own glowing review). This sling delivered.
With the Camera Cube tucked inside, I still had room in the front pocket for essentials like keys and coins. The interior organization made it easy to store small items such as a lens cleaner, a travel-sized sunscreen, my wallet, and phone. While it was a snug fit, I developed a great system, tucking the top of the Camera Cube under itself and adjusting the dividers to hold my camera strap and other accessories. I ended up keeping my wallet inside the main compartment for quick access and used the rear pocket for my phone.
If you’re looking to travel light and are willing to put a little thought into your setup, I highly recommend this bag. I only brought one lens, but with a few tweaks to the Camera Cube layout, I could have easily fit a second. A fantastic solution for minimalist travel photography.

I was looking for a sling that wasn’t too bulky, looked nice, and held enough stuff to lighten my pockets. This is it! Love the material, the strap is top rate. Love this little bag!
