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 would recommend this to a friend!

Functional but Disappointing Fabric Wear
on April 14, 2025
Posted by: KC
from Toronto, Canada
I purchased the Outdoor Sling for a recent trip, and while I found the size to be just right and it comfortable to carry, I was disappointed to notice some pilling on the back fabric after just three weeks of use. This was unexpected, especially considering the great quality I've come to expect from other PD products. While the sling served its purpose during the trip, the fabric wear was a bit of a letdown.

Extroardinarily versatile

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!

Awesome bag but poor lock
on April 9, 2025
Posted by: VM
I just bought the new Outdoor Sling 7L. Awesome size and light weight.
But the lock mechanic on the strap is so so, and can be opened very easily by accident. For putting camera, really need to be careful. Hope PD will get a quick fix on that.

Terrible buckle design. Beware!
on April 4, 2025

I bought this bag about a month ago and have since reviewed the bag giving it a 5 star review. The bag meets all of my needs and with the XXS Camera cube i can carry a nice Leica kit with several lenses. However, since that review I have almost dropped the bag twice due to the terrible design of the buckle. It only takes a very light touch to open the buckle and when adjusting its position on my shoulder it unintentionally opened. I have since superglued the buckle to prevent the dropping of thousands of dollars of equipment. I really wish PD would come up with a new buckle design on the strap. I would be first in line to purchase one.

Too small, too see through
on March 26, 2025

The rear phone pocket doesn't hold an iPhone Pro Max in a Peak Design case, you have to remove the case.
The interior is just kind of floppy and not well considered.
The cloud material is too thin.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

2L white

It is a little too small for what I need to carry. Quality and overall design is good. White colour shows the inside stuff can be seen through it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

wish it had more room

I like the small size but I found I could barely get a medium wallet, a phone and a few lipsticks in it. I wish the underside wasn't so tapered. Maybe a tad deeper in depth.
I would recommend this to a friend!
