Perfect fit for Steam Deck
on December 14, 2024
Posted by: CMP
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!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Terrible design flaw
on May 31, 2025
Posted by: chein48
At first, I really liked the bag, until I accidentally touched the strap clasp, which opened and the bag fell to the floor with my camera. How could anyone make such a design flaw in the manufacture of a bag?!

Versatile Hip Sling, For the Right Uses
on December 10, 2024
Posted by: hiker-biker shutterbug
from Gainesville, FL
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.

Great, but wish it had a spot for the Capture Clip
on December 10, 2024
Posted by: Shuls
from Brooklyn, NY
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.

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.

Disappointed despite loving other PD bags
on January 15, 2025
Posted by: cretin
My iPhone 15 Pro Max falls out of the suggested slot if I turn the bag upside down (even though the video tries to make clear that the slot opening is smaller than the inside). The magnet is very weak, and stays open with a moderate load out. Unfortunately I'll be returning it.

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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Kickstarter winner

Very pleased with this 7L sling purchased via Kickstarter - much lighter/less rigid than other slings, decent internal storage & fits PD x-Small camera cube when I need it. Pleased with Eclipse colour too.
I would recommend this to a friend!
