My new Everyday Bag
on January 13, 2025
Posted by: Anonymous
from Frankfurt, Germany
Bought the 7L on Kickstarter and love it. Great feel, great weight and with the XS Cube the perfect bag for my mirrorless camera. Yes, the Cube is not the exact size of the bag, but I fill it up with a packable tote so I always have a shopping bag with me. For me, it's my new Everyday Bag and I love it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

My end game sling
on January 7, 2025
Posted by: Al
from Melbourne, Australia
I've tried so many sling bags and this one is perfect. Critical features that put it above and beyond other edc slings:
* Stabilizer strap: I find it so weird that more slings don't offer a stabilizer strap for their larger slings. PD's outdoor sling has a stabilizer strap that feels really secure but is also easy to undo when you want to slide the bag around for front access.
* External bottom bungee straps: It's insanely useful to be able to carry a larger jacket, a water bottle, a folded camp stool or a tripod on the bottom of the sling. Because the straps are bungee, they stretch to fit whatever you've got.
* The best buckles and zips: They didn't skimp on quality here.

Overall, I'd definitely recommend this sling for those looking for something in between outdoor gorpcore style bags and sleeker city edc. It's a great carry.

The best sling bag
on December 25, 2024
Posted by: Yalin
from Toronto, ON
I recently got the Outdoor Sling 7L, and it’s been a game-changer for my daily carry. It holds all my essentials and even fits my Fujifilm XT5 with the 27mm and kit lens perfectly. The padded compartment keeps my gear safe, and the sling design allows easy access for quick shots without hassle.
I love how it has enough pockets to organize my wallet, keys, and more, making it perfect for everything from casual outings to photo-walks. Overall, this sling combines style and practicality, and I highly recommend it for anyone wanting a reliable bag that fits their essentials and camera gear!

Not great for camera but decent otherwise
on December 21, 2024

Was planning to use it with the camera cube. Unfortunately it just didn't work out for me. The cube fits what I want, but once it's in the bag, it just doesn't quite gel. There's a bit of space around the cube, but not enough to be useful. I wish the cube either consumed the whole space, or had more room, with a preference for the latter.
The bag, by itself, is decent. My two biggest complaints about the bag (especially coming from other PD bags):
1) I found it inconvenient to unzip one handed.
2) After being spoilt by how nice PD bags feel in had, I'm beginning to despise the grab handle on this bag. Wish it was a little wider or rounder. This just sort of cuts into the hand.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Small and Pricey, not Small and Mighty
on December 15, 2024
Posted by: Swankypikachu
Doesn’t feel like a PD product at all, has a cash grab effect. I would not put any hardware in this like how some of the pictures detail. The material has no structure, which is fine - but putting any form of technology in it is a huge risk and is not what this is for. It’s easy to dump stuff in this and call it a day, but competitors have ultra-portable slings that have more thought / build quality into the organization. I’m unsure of where I could justify the premium price on this for a premium product… the strap? Probably not, it’s quite finicky and kind of over-engineered for a small sling. Materials? Definitely not. The visible stitching both inside and out is unflattering. I just feel that this is a rebranded packing cube with a nicer strap. The magnet on the back is weak as well, especially when the sling is packed out moderately - it’s unusable IMO without high risk.
I just feel like Peak Designs’ wabi-sabi approach at this point feels more like an echo chamber within their team versus including customer feedback that’s been out online for years at this point i.e.: hidden AirTag compartment, microfiber linings, etc with a balance between unstructured and structured. Will likely hold off on investing more into PD once the everyday line is revamped. This product is not it for me, and I am surprised at just how much I disliked this.

Perfect fit for Steam Deck

from Seattle, WA
It’s the perfect everyday carry. It fits my everyday items (phone, keys, leatherman, charging brick, etc) plus my Steam Deck (in a Tomtoc case), charger, & Bose noise canceling headphones.
Absolutely love this bag!

Highly adaptable sling for travel
on December 13, 2024
Posted by: Marty B
from Columbia, MD
I bought this for upcoming travel, wanting a daypack that would smush into another carry-on/checked bag and have lots of gear organization and flexibility. It has more than average internal pockets and gear organization, both accessible in the main compartment via zipper or externally (i.e., the phone pocket). The straps and elastic cinches are all removable for use in creative ways (see the Youtube clip featuring Bev), including using as a chest-mounted bag between two backpack straps. The internal storage is big enough for my mirrorless camera and a 1L collapsible water bottle...supposedly it'll fit a XS camera cube, but that seems overkill for my use case. Materials are lightweight but feel robust. Overall, seems legit and would recommend if the size/form factor fit your need.
