Outstanding design! I own quite a few PD products (photography-related) but the attention to detail carries through in these more generic products, like this sling and in the wallets.
I've often gone through several iterations of items; but the end point is generally here. Bravo!
Amazing bag. Took it to multiple travels and storage amount and profile are the best. Only issue is that I am filming while traveling and realized this bag makes a lot of noise at the connection area. Every step makes squeaky noise and it is recorded on my video. Ever since that, i'm hyper aware of it and am so not satisfied. They should remove the quick release and just make it one seemless strap.
I like my 2 litre outdoor sling but I don’t love it. I like the size, that’s it’s waterproof (I hope), the slot for my phone and the versatility of sling vs fanny pack. I wish it had a 2 way zipper, and an inside (or outside) extra zipper pocket for more secure storing of items. Right now it’s just one big pocket with some loose mesh organizing pockets that don’t seem very useful.
I have the 7L version. I like the Everyday sling, and it does some things better than this one (especially if you are using it to carry camera gear), but you cannot beat this Outdoor sling for general utility in most travel situations. The phone pocket on the back is comfortable and brilliantly executed. I think the bag has the perfect combo of pockets and open space. It can be emptied, squashed down, packed, and used as a day bag or pocket relief at your destination, and also makes a great under-seat personal item on any airline. If you carry a water bottle and are not also using a backpack with a sleeve, you can easily fit a 24oz bottle in the sling with all kinds of other stuff, or lash it to the bottom, or carabiner it to the strap. The lash points and straps on the bottom are super useful and add a bunch of capacity if you need to carry layers of clothing. I've used this sling on beaches, mountains, and snowy trails in all sorts of conditions and it kept my stuff safe and easily accessible. I have lots of Peak products and think this is one of their best designs. Get one!
I use it every single day! I carry my wallet, sunglasses, gloves, a small water bottle, sunscreen, my phone, and even random grocery receipts that somehow accumulate over weeks. The bag is high quality, water‑resistant, lightweight, and surprisingly spacious—I can even fit a light jacket in a pinch. I have the 7L version and it’s perfect.
I love my Peak Designs bags... but this one less. The material, although light, is somewhat below par. Too thin. No distinctive features, no Peak Design flare or sway. I do however like the zipper pulls. I might bo back to my Belroy every day carry (EDC) bag.
