Great quality, but some weak design

I got this one backed on the Kickstarter. I'm using the sling for daily committing, dog walking, car driving etc. for over 4 months. So I packed all the stuff I need over a typical day: all keys, a charger with a cable, sunglasses, some cloth. A big iPhone with a case fits perfectly in the external pocket. The sling can be extended to fit a 0,5L bottle or a big coffee can. Even a rain jacket can be packed inside the main pocket without causing any discomfort.
The sling, even loaded, is very a lightweight one. The belt protects well for pressure. A small cord can be used for better hold on the back. If I require a bigger storage, I pick my PD Daily Backpack and put this sling as a small stuff container between two separators inside the backpack. Now in winter, I'm carrying the sling over my right shoulder on the back. The hip carrying not tested. For summer, I got a small 2L sling.
Some cons are there though. Because of very light weight, the sling lacks the form stability. So in most cases, both hands are needed to close and open the zipper. The belt clip occasionally opens, if a hand grips on it, to move the sling from the back to the chest. The sling falls in this case to the ground. I'm carrying no camera in it, so no expensive damage so far. But it can go worse, if the ground is dirty.
In overall, a good item with few weak solutions in design.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I thought the clip was secured....

I love the size and functionality of this product but....
I was reattaching the sling, thought I heard the chest clip attach and let go. The bag dropped to concrete and my iPad Pro inside shattered.
I do suppose this is my fault as much as the slings but I haven't had this issue with any other sling / bag / clip. I truly thought I had secured it.
I still like this bag and will use it... just won't put anything fragile in.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I was hesitant to choose a 7L sling since all of my previous everyday-use slings for the past 20 or so years have been more compact. But this is a great size and allows me to use the bag for my camera (Sony mirrorless with 300mm lens with o9r without an internal case) while also being great for everything else since the non-rigid structure lets it compress when there's nothing large inside. And it looks great. I do wish there were a better way to stow away the elastic cables, which will be used infrequently in my case.

Great everyday bag

I bought the outdoor sling, I thought it was a bit more versatile than the normal one. I'm very satisfied with the product. I can easily carry everyday stuff, a camera (paired with the xs camera bag) and even had a feeding bottle just in case !

Absolutely love

Love this bag. I’ve been running the 3L and the 10L everyday slings for a few years now, but the outdoor line is even better for me for an EDC bag. It’s flexible and more slim so it’s more low-profile instead of the structured shape of the previous everyday sling line.

Flexible. Light. And Exactly Right.

Excellent design; big enough for an iPad and a down layer, small enough to always be dropped in your larger traveling suitcase. For cameras and tech, I have the smallest cube but I find myself using the sling for just about everything.

Great new product

I bought this with the Xsmall camera cube. Before I purchased this I was on a vacation to Utah and doing a lot of hiking with just my camera and peak camera strap. In some areas it was really slippery terrain and I was worried about falling with no protection for my camera thus purchasing this set up. Also liked having sacra room to carry my glasses and sun glasses with extra cards and batteries.
Great product and can hardly wait to try it out on my next adventure.
