Everything about this bag is so premium and yet I'm surprised how much I did not like it. The opening is restrictive making my camera (Nikon Zf) and hands rub all over it going in and out. There different pockets and ways to organize but the shell is hard and the bag feels cramped. I have a smaller bag that's more flexible, and I feel like I can store about the same amount of gear in both bags even though the peak design bag is twice the size!
Now that I have the bag in hand I wonder what kind of camera does this optimally fit? Someone with an A7C and two large lenses (or one large and two small lenses)?
It does not jibe with the size of the Zf though--that is for sure. And I can't imagine going with the 10L option because it has the same style opening and rigidness. But seems people like this bag so what do I know?
I'll be looking for a bag that opens wider, is less rigid, and ideally a way to access the gear in a more "flat" way, rather than digging down into layers of lenses.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Everyday Sling Bag 6L
on November 19, 2025
Posted by: G
Bought this few days ago for a trip, having a hard time converting the 6L sling bag into the waist bag. The hook is not easy to get in or out of the second hook (the one meant for changing it to "waist mode". Front pocket seems too tight as well, not sure if it loosens up later with usage...hopefully it does!

Great city camera bag

I needed a smart camera bag for city visits that would fit my compact mirrorless camera and extra lens. This certainly first the bill. It is well made has just enough room to add a couple of essentials and sits nicely on the body, rather than sticking out like a shoebox . I have thought that I should have bought the 10l rather than 6; am sure it would still be compact but I would just fill it with junk. I like the security feature for the zips as well as the robustness of the origami dividers. The inner stretchy pocket is tiny though- I couldn’t get my car keys in here and the front zip pocket is a bit stiff ( it is brand new) so you can’t just shove your phone in here. Overall though very pleased

Excellent quality and a wish.

I already own a 5L sling and a 6L sling and use them as cameras bags. The need for the 10L emerged because I could not fit in them a Nikon Z7II with a Nikon Z 70-200 F2.8 mounted on it. The bag is of the same excellent quality as the smaller models. The camera + lens fit perfectly in a horizontal position with the grip upwards, easy to grab with the right hand very quickly (picture 1). What I miss, is a stepped cushion as seen in picture 2 with a Nikon DSLR with a shorter 24-70 F2.8. The cushion provides better support along the camera + lens combination, better protects in case of fall and presents the grip in a more convenient height and angle. I would very much appreciate the availability of such ready-made cushions.

Feels sturdy

I bought this about a month ago and it's a great bag. It's well-constructed, balanced, and just feels sturdy. I really like how it keeps its shape even when empty, makes searching the bag very easy. My only gripe is that the bag is so rigid that the front pocket is really hard to open.

Built like a tank for smaller cameras/items.

Super well built. I did a ton of research for something a little smaller than my roughly 10 year old , 10 liter Peak Design camera/sling bag. That bag has gone all around the world, taken a beating and still almost looks new. Coyote Xpak on this 3Liter looks amazing and will fit my X100vi or Leica Q3 43 just fine, with additional room for a few other items like a phone or batteries. 3 Liters will also fit a Sony a7iv and 24-70mm zoom attached no issue.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Perfect bag for carrying around a crowded city

Purchased the 10L sling to use for 3 days in New York City and it met or exceeded my expectations for the most part. Loaded up internally was Canon R5 Mark II with my 24-70mm lens attached, RF 20mm VCM lens, Joby miniature tripod, and iPad mini in mobile sleeve. Loved the shelf divider as I was able to place chargers and other items under the shelf and put the 20mm lens on top. Attached to the bottom of the bag was my Peak Design travel tripod. A little re-arranging and I could have easily fit my 70-200mm lens if needed. My only complaint is that the included straps were too short when I tried to secure my mini tripod or bulky down jacket across the side of the bag. I feel the included straps are mainly meant for use at bottom of the bag. Luckily I tested this out when I first received the sling and ordered the larger straps, which worked great. The bag was comfortable to carry as I walked down the streets of New York for hours and waited in lines for skyline pictures. Really impressed by

Good design but poor implementation

The Everyday Sling 3l is for the most part well designed. I bought it because I liked the idea of using it as a waist bag. Unfortunately, this feature does not work at all. The 2nd loop where the buckle is supposed to go into for waist carriage is poorly manufactured. It is so tight that I was afraid of ripping it apart when inserting the buckle into it. After about 10 minutes I managed to fit it into the loop without ripping it, and it took me another 5 minutes of getting it out. I ordered 3 bags and had to return them all. Then I checked in several stores. All of the bags have the same flaw.
