Big flaw in design
on August 2, 2025
Posted by: CA
This bag would otherwise be a great unstructured sling that molds to your body when worn if not for the easy release clip. It is TOO easy to release and the bag immediately falls to the ground. If you have anything fragile in the bag it will likely be broken as the bag does not have a lot of cushion or padding (which would be fine if there wasn’t this risk of dropping the bag on the floor with normal use). Just a slight touch of the clip when adjusting the bag on your shoulder will cause it to come undone. Huge design flaw not seen in any other competitor slings I have in this category (eg Bellroy, Aer, tonic etc).
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Super versatile

I brought this with extreme skepticism knowing what I have read about the sensitive buckle. I loaded mine with a Tenba byob 9 camera insert, Sony a7CR with 2 prime lenses. With these weights it requires a bit of pressure to release the plates, and the amount of travel the button needs to be push is just right.
Maybe PD has improved on the buckle, or maybe there were some QC issues, I dunno. Just happy mine works great because for an EDC, it is a nice buckle.

What I do know is this buckle design may be prone to bag snatchers, so I use a OpTech uniloop to secure the buckle when travelling in places a little more problematic.
And the other thing I know, is this is the only PD sling I like! I went back to Domke after so many branded bags, and decided to give this a go because of the softer materials. Only thing missing is a softer, more malleable camera insert for this bag to truly realised its potential. (I have one smaller and lighter than the tenba OTW that fits my setup)
The bag strap is also more comfortable than I remember, so I am happy with my purchase.

The buckle is way too easy to open accidentally.

This sling has a major weak point and that's the buckle. It's SOOO easy to just barely brush against it and it pops open. This happens to me ALL the time in both sling and waist modes, and then the sling and everything I have in it hits the ground.
It would be great except for that major issue.

Fits iPad Pro 11”
on February 15, 2025

I’ve been using it every day for a month and so far I’m very satisfied with it. I wanted a sling that can carry my iPad Pro 11” with keyboard and it fits perfectly with spare room for other edc things.

Useful design but with drawbacks

Have had the 2l bag for a few weeks and like the design but if it were 2.5l - just a bit bigger it would be ideal. It will take a small camera easily but the mobile phone pocket at rear needs to be a bit bigger - will only take an iPhone 16 or Samsung Galaxy S23 or 25 upright and not sideways so not possible to close the flap. Also the shoulder strap has a locking clasp which is a mistake (as others have mentioned) as its possible to accidentally open it, and it puts you at risk of theft as anyone can open the clasp at the back. To prevent this I have glued tbe clasp in the locked position. Peak design need to fit a shoulder strap WITHOUT an opening clasp!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

great, but for one major flaw
on June 6, 2025

from switzerland
bought it and as soon as I saw the buckle packed it up and returned it. reading all the other comments confirmed my suspicion that the buckle will easily open by mistake and leave you picking up your broken camera from the ground. otherwise everything seems great. if they fix the buckle design i'll definitely buy it again!

My new Everyday Bag
on January 13, 2025

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!
