Exactly what I was looking for
on June 14, 2025

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!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Brilliant bag for everything.

Bought on a whim and this could be my favourite bag. Slim when it needs to be big when you want to squeeze more in and now bought the cube and fits an a7 with 24-70 perfectly and space for more Bits. The phone slot is superb. The issue with the clasp is resolved with a strap from another company with works perfectly that crosses over from the two ends. Either side of the clasp.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Perfect for exploring

This is a great sling to use in combination with the 45 l backpack when traveling. You leave the backpack in your room and take what you need for exploring. The only thing I wish is that there was room for a water bottle

Good sling/waist pack, but not a great camera bag
on July 5, 2025
Posted by: YoohooX
As an small every day sling or pocket reliever sling and waist/fanny pack it works out great. If you're looking for it as a camera bag, I'd look elsewhere even if you can fit a camera cube into it. It's relatively packable with the only structure in it being the padded back.
I don't mind the strap since I mostly wear it as a waist/fanny pack, but if you wear it mostly as a sling and will swap between shoulders, it can be annoying since the padding won't align with your shoulder. It's also easy to unbuckle, which can be a good or bad thing depending on the person.

Tons of space, pockets and comfy to wear. Sturdy material. Fits under your jacket or hoodie, i also wear it on the waist or cross body. Bought 2 for my friends' birthdays and they love them.

Great for Non-photography purposes

I have had the 6L everyday sling from PD for several years and it is mainly where my everyday camera gear resides (Nikon Z6ii and 2-3 lenses). It is what I take for any potential photography opportunities and I absolutely love it for that purpose. However the 6L Sling is rigid and I don’t use it for anything except my camera gear. I received the 7L outdoor sling just before a 5 day trip to Chicago and it worked out great for non-photography purposes. This was a work trip and I didn’t bring any camera gear. The 7L sling is very lightweight and not rigid like the 6L everyday sling. It was perfect for the plane ride for my carryon essentials, including my phone, wallet, ipad, headphones, portable charger, and some snacks. I was also able to cinch my light weight jacket to the bottom of the sling when it was not needed. I mainly wore it across my chest for added security when walking around the airport, taking the subway, and walking around the city which worked out well. It was a little bulkier than a small sling, but not too bad for all that it was carrying, and very comfortable to wear. I like that it would pack down smaller when not needing all the space but could still hold a lot if desired. I didn’t get the XS camera cube, so I’m not planning on using it to carry my camera gear without wrapping it in something to give it padding. However, I like the non-padding which makes it more comfortable and versatile. I can see myself using this fairly often when I want a small-medium sized bag for everyday purposes. I’m definitely planning on taking it when I travel from now on. Thanks for another great product Peak Design!

Great Sling, disappointing strap
on July 24, 2025

Very nice Sling with two flaws regarding the Strap. 1st I'd like the closing mechanism to be reversed. I mean that if i undo it with one hand, I'd hold the short part of the strap. 2nd After it got in contact with the hook side of a velcro strap, it started fraying and is now a bit unsightly. Other than those two things im Very happy with the quality and design of this sling, and i hope itll serve me well for quite some time.

Perfect for International Travel
on July 25, 2025

I've been using the Peak Design 7L Outdoor Sling throughout my travels in Japan, and it's been incredibly convenient. It easily fits all my essentials—portable charger, toiletries, passport, portable fan, sunscreen, gimbal—with room to spare. Even fully packed, the bag sits flat against my back and never feels bulky or annoying to wear.
One thing I saw mentioned in other reviews is that the buckle can come undone a little too easily. I’ve only had that happen once myself, but I do think an upgraded buckle or lock system would be a nice improvement. I also wish the magnetic pocket was a bit larger.
Overall though, I’m really happy with it. It’s compact, well-designed, and surprisingly spacious. Great travel companion.
