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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Outdoor Sling is the perfect complement to my Peak Design backpack and can even be easily attached to it. It's great. I use the bag and the backpack to transport my camera, so I'm prepared for any situation. The various small pockets are well-organized and well-designed. The additional securing strap is very useful, especially when cycling.

Not Perfect, but a great bag!

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.

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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A little pricey
on April 13, 2025
Posted by: BAM13
Fits most of my needs and we’re loyal to Peak Design, so I’m happy with it. I will say, in my opinion, it’s is priced a bit high what it is, but it is well-made and has nice organization.

Extroardinarily versatile

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!

Good but I haven't find the right way of using it.

I bought the Outdoor Sling 7L + Camera Cube (X-Small) + Packing Cube Carry Strap thru the Kickstarter campaign back in Oct24. The Sling 7L is excellent but too big for my daily needs (I also bought the Sling 2L which is perfect for my needs). I haven't find the way of getting the benefits of the Sling 7L and Camera Cube, together. Nonetheless, their quality is superb
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.
