Great quality, but some weak design

I got this one backed on the Kickstarter. I'm using the sling for daily committing, dog walking, car driving etc. for over 4 months. So I packed all the stuff I need over a typical day: all keys, a charger with a cable, sunglasses, some cloth. A big iPhone with a case fits perfectly in the external pocket. The sling can be extended to fit a 0,5L bottle or a big coffee can. Even a rain jacket can be packed inside the main pocket without causing any discomfort.
The sling, even loaded, is very a lightweight one. The belt protects well for pressure. A small cord can be used for better hold on the back. If I require a bigger storage, I pick my PD Daily Backpack and put this sling as a small stuff container between two separators inside the backpack. Now in winter, I'm carrying the sling over my right shoulder on the back. The hip carrying not tested. For summer, I got a small 2L sling.
Some cons are there though. Because of very light weight, the sling lacks the form stability. So in most cases, both hands are needed to close and open the zipper. The belt clip occasionally opens, if a hand grips on it, to move the sling from the back to the chest. The sling falls in this case to the ground. I'm carrying no camera in it, so no expensive damage so far. But it can go worse, if the ground is dirty.
In overall, a good item with few weak solutions in design.
I have tries a number of small slings and have found this to be just the right fit. Adding the xxs photo cube has make it just perfect to take my Leica kit wherever I go. Small enough to be comfortable and large enough to carry what I need.
Bought this around 3 months ago along with the camera cube. Very slick design with the just the right amount of pockets and storage. Was surprised at how much I could cram in to it! Very comfortable adjustable fit Only been exposed to light rain showers, but appears to be really waterproof
I bought this for my son for Christmas. We regularly go out to shoot street photography together and he loves it. I’ve asked him several times about how it’s holding up and he said it’s the best bag he’s had. It’s the perfect size and makes it convenient to carry around different lenses and extras. Great product! Thank you.
amazing sling, it’s literally perfect for my use. can be slim for the short runs around the city when i don’t feel like using my pickets. can be spacious when i’m out and about bringing my camera, soft 500ml flask and daily essentials, together with a light jacket strapped underneath. i’ve had it for the last few months, and it’s been holding up great, no wear shown yet. my only complaint is the inside pockets are too small for the things i want to put there’s but it’s more of a suggestion for the next edition. maybe do 2 wider ones instead of 3. but i understand it’s my personal case, so be it.
