Easy to fix the buckle issue
on May 17, 2026

The bag is light, has some good organization with the variety of pockets, and holds an umbrella perfectly too. It hangs really nicely as a sling in the front so it works great with a travel backpack.
Yes, the buckle is dangerous but easily modified. I added a couple pieces of gorilla tape inside the buckle and now it works as it should, requiring a very strong push to engage.

I would recommend this to a friend!

As compact as a 4L but can be expanded for more!

I bought the 4L originally thinking the 7L would be too big. And while I LOVE the 4L, the 7L compresses perfectly (almost as small as the 4L) to be a substitute for my 4L when I am not carrying a lot and/or want to be discreet with my carry. But when I do want to go big, the 7L decompresses and gives me the extra space I need.
I use it as my personal item for carry on with my 11" iPad, various cables, AirPods, other travel sundries. Still low profile. Still compact. But easy carrying. When I get to my destination, I pull out the X-Small camera cube and carry my Nikon Zf w/ 40mm f/2.0 AND my Nikon 24-200mm lens.

Best 7L Sling for 2026 Switzerland and Japan trip
on May 7, 2026
Posted by: Hugo
What I've been looking for for my Japan and Switzerland trip 2026 to fit my water bottle, windbreaker jacket, umbrella on the bottom attachment, and souvenirs. I like that the straps flatten the bag when not filled with stuff.

Comfortable

The sling is very comfortable, has good padding and can store a lot of things given its size, including a small umbrella.

Just the right size for carrying my Sony A1 camera, one lens, and some extras. Primarily for road bike rides.

4L is awesome

I got the 4L sling a few weeks ago, I’ve taken it on two trips already and I love it! I haven’t had the issue about the clip opening that other mention. Mine stays on for a full day walking around the city. I totally recommend it.

Strap buckle too easily opens - defective design
on April 14, 2026
Posted by: Larry
from Boston, MA
On a recent 4 week trip I was using it to carry a camera with a Ape Case ACQB33 – Cubeze Flexible Padded Insert. For me it had better function than the PD insert but maybe a bit less padding. Truly amazing how much that little sling can carry. For all of it's positive attributes I believe the item should be recalled by PD or buyers sent a new shoulder strap. Like many others have noted in reviews if you grab the strap to reposition the sling in just the wrong way the clip way too easily opens and your bag can go flying to the earth below if you don't catch it in time. Happened to me 3 times with a protective lens filter cracking into the lens/cap. In my case tiny splinters and granular glass started to embed into the actual front lens element.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
