Great crossbody bag
on August 7, 2025
Posted by: THorani
from California
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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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

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

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.

Not a camera bag
on July 27, 2025

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
Posted by: Garcia03
from Los Angeles, CA
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!

Great for Non-photography purposes
on July 24, 2025
Posted by: TS171
from Wichita, KS
I have had the 6L everyday sling from PD for several years and it is mainly where my everyday camera gear resides (Nikon Z6ii and 2-3 lenses). It is what I take for any potential photography opportunities and I absolutely love it for that purpose. However the 6L Sling is rigid and I don’t use it for anything except my camera gear. I received the 7L outdoor sling just before a 5 day trip to Chicago and it worked out great for non-photography purposes. This was a work trip and I didn’t bring any camera gear. The 7L sling is very lightweight and not rigid like the 6L everyday sling. It was perfect for the plane ride for my carryon essentials, including my phone, wallet, ipad, headphones, portable charger, and some snacks. I was also able to cinch my light weight jacket to the bottom of the sling when it was not needed. I mainly wore it across my chest for added security when walking around the airport, taking the subway, and walking around the city which worked out well. It was a little bulkier than a small sling, but not too bad for all that it was carrying, and very comfortable to wear. I like that it would pack down smaller when not needing all the space but could still hold a lot if desired. I didn’t get the XS camera cube, so I’m not planning on using it to carry my camera gear without wrapping it in something to give it padding. However, I like the non-padding which makes it more comfortable and versatile. I can see myself using this fairly often when I want a small-medium sized bag for everyday purposes. I’m definitely planning on taking it when I travel from now on. Thanks for another great product Peak Design!

Great Sling, disappointing strap
on July 24, 2025
Posted by: Com
from Berlin
Very nice Sling with two flaws regarding the Strap. 1st I'd like the closing mechanism to be reversed. I mean that if i undo it with one hand, I'd hold the short part of the strap. 2nd After it got in contact with the hook side of a velcro strap, it started fraying and is now a bit unsightly. Other than those two things im Very happy with the quality and design of this sling, and i hope itll serve me well for quite some time.
