Perfect fit for Steam Deck

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.
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.
Added a small tech pouch inside and it’s becoming the most versatile sling bag in town ! I can bring my edc and when I need them I can bring my iPad or my action cam with a pod and whatever I need.
Great, but wish it had a spot for the Capture Clip

So far, this has been a fantastic bag for anytime I'm heading somewhere that isn't work. It has ample space for anything you'd need for a hike or long bike ride, or just to head across town for the day.
The only downside I've found—and I kind of expected this to NOT be the case because it's a Peak Design product—is that unlike other Peak Design products, there isn't a great spot for the Capture Clip. At the end of the day, it's not terrible to use a Pro Pad on the bag strap, but I would've loved a dedicated slot (or two) like you get on many of their other bags.
The 7L is a versatile sling that I use as a hip bag. Unlike my PD 6L sling, this is functional as a hip bag that can squeeze small, such as in a museum, or large, to stuff a light coat plus assorted gear. As a camera-centric bag, my PD 6L sling is better because it is structured to fit and hold my mirrorless plus 2 lenses. I can get only my Z5 and 24-200 in this 7L bag, with or without the XS camera cube. This 7L, however, is ideal for travel because it collapses and expands so easily. The backside cellphone pocket and smaller ones inside (SD cards, etc.) set this bag apart from competitors'. And it has enough strength to carry the weight of my camera + lens on the hip. In summary, the 6L is the perfect shoulder-sling camera bag when structure is important while the 7L is perfect as a hip bag when versatility is needed. Different bags for different purposes.
I love this 7L sling bag. It is exactly what I have needed for a while. Not too big or small. Great for the extra stuff and a lens. Nice outside pocket for a cell phone. Long shoulder crossbody strap is also a perfect and comfortable length. Well done Peak Design!
