Perfect daily carry
on August 29, 2025

from Oakland, CA
Got this for Father's Day and have been using it for a few months now. It's the perfect size for some daily essentials and helps keep my pockets mostly empty!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Everyday carry through Central Asia
on August 27, 2025
Posted by: WhereNow?
from Fayetteville, WV
I purchased this bag along with other items during the Kickstarter campaign and could not be happier with its utility and hardiness. I just completed a 5 month journey, mostly overland from Turkey to China, and this bag rarely left my side. It was great for an everyday carry and I found that I preferred it over a small backpack for day hikes in the mountains. It holds, well, a lot. On a regular basis I carried a phone, my journal, a Kindle, my Sony RX100, a second small notebook, Bose headphones, and a small portable charger along with a number of small items such as lip balm, tissues, etc.. Additionally, the material held up very well and I love the bungie straps on the bottom where I routinely kept a rain coat, second layer, or a water bottle. For air journeys it is all I kept out of the overhead as it held everything I needed to keep me occupied during the flight.
I did not have any issues with the buckle throughout this time. The only thing I would like to see improved is to have the small pockets inside have some elastic at the top to help hold items in these spaces. Otherwise, looking forward to using again on my next adventure. Great bag and super useful.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great crossbody bag
on August 7, 2025

I bought this bag about 1 month ago while visiting their Venice California location. Great color. Really thoughtful design and features. A great every day crossbody. Would buy again. Likely will buy the other colors as well to give me more styling options.

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.

Solid Sling Bag, but not for camera gear
on August 2, 2025
Posted by: YoohooX
It's a solid sling and waist pack all around, but I wouldn't trust it for camera gear. I'd rather use it as an edc/pocket reliever style bag

Unexpectedly I love this
on July 28, 2025
Posted by: Yourpal
from Zurich, Switzerland
I have the old sling. I also have a fanny pack I love. Got this on a whim, had buyers remorse right after. And now it’s my favorite thing. It’s so slim and compact but expands to hold so much. A full knee length rain jacket and umbrella and all the normal bag things. Love this.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not a camera bag
on July 27, 2025
Posted by: Erika
from Toronto, ON
Bought this a month ago to lug around my camera and it is not padded or safe enough to protect your camera. It’s good quality but definitely more so for travel than for your camera’s protection.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Perfect for International Travel
on July 25, 2025

I've been using the Peak Design 7L Outdoor Sling throughout my travels in Japan, and it's been incredibly convenient. It easily fits all my essentials—portable charger, toiletries, passport, portable fan, sunscreen, gimbal—with room to spare. Even fully packed, the bag sits flat against my back and never feels bulky or annoying to wear.
One thing I saw mentioned in other reviews is that the buckle can come undone a little too easily. I’ve only had that happen once myself, but I do think an upgraded buckle or lock system would be a nice improvement. I also wish the magnetic pocket was a bit larger.
Overall though, I’m really happy with it. It’s compact, well-designed, and surprisingly spacious. Great travel companion.
I would recommend this to a friend!
