Love them or hate them, sling bags have exploded in popularity the past few years. But these controversial bags are more than just a fashion accessory. They’re also a convenient way to keep your daily essentials handy and organized while traveling the world-or simply living your life.
As long as you don’t mind a slings resemblance to the polarizing fanny pack, they make the ideal companion. They hold everything that’s usually inside of your pockets and more gear that you’d like to bring around with you for the day-like a camera, sunscreen, tools, a notebook and pen, water bottle or a packable jacket-the possibilities are endless. We like to call this PocketsPlus.
Slings are also a great option for one bag travelers who would like to have a small personal item for flights. They’ll fit almost everything you could ever want in-flight...within reason, of course. Plus, you can throw the entire thing in a bin, and breeze through airport security easily.
Remember, there isn’t one sling bag that will work for everyone. You need to consider your use-case to find the sling that will work for you.

I've been using sling bags for years. I've tried a ton of budget bags from Amazon, but now I typically use my KP Sling, which I backed on Kickstarter years ago. It's small, but I manage to fit quite a bit in it. It's definitely more of an every day carry bag than a travel bag, but it makes a good addition to a main bag/backpack. www.keeppursuing.com/products/sling-bag

I just returned from a 2 week trip of plains, trains, and buses with only the GoRuck GR2 and Aer Day Sling 2. I loved the freedom of not dragging my old roller bag around crowds and cobblestone roads, having my hands free, and still having instant access to travel essentials (wallet, passport, headphones, etc). Thanks for the recommendations!

I personally use a sling bag by Ellehammer. Whenever I go on a weekend away, it's more than spacious enough to house spare underwear, a t-shirt, my charge cable for my phone, and my kindle with a separate slot specifically for tablets of 9" or less. I house my cable(s) in the outer zip compartment. Nice and easy. Any toiletries I need can be bought in travel size on the other end of my journey.

Love the overview guys, sad to see it didn’t make the list but I myself just purchased the Osprey Daylite Sling a few days ago after watching your video review of it. I’m finding the size to be perfect for my EDC stuff while biking around the city, and at 35 bucks I think it’s a great budget option. Once I got over the ‘I’m carrying a purse around’ vibe I think slings are too useful to be ignored

When I first started carrying a shoulder bag, I wondered how I ever did without one. After some years, I got into slings, and haven't looked back. The bellroy sling has been my EDC for this whole year so far, and prior to that, I used the Crumpler LLA Waist Pack, the Incase Sidebag (a bit too small) and the Porter Yoshida Tanker waist bag. Slings are so useful.

@@Riverpeth I haven't seen a Paperwhite in person, but it might be a bit too wide for the Bellroy sling. The standard Bellroy isn't very deep, but they make a Venture Sling which is larger and will probably take a Paperwhite. You'd want to confirm this with measurements at least.

Arcteryx Maka 2 - Black. Wear on the hips as a giant pocket or as a shoulder sling as mentioned in the video. Very versatile. Also, the strap attaches to the pack by 'D' loops, so you attach carabiners.

I personally think that a decently sized lightweight waist bag is more suitable for taking flights and can be carried as a sling bag as well. When you actually go walking around town, just stuff a packable backpack in it for extra carry space if needed. The made-in-China water resistant waist bag I use is pretty similar to the CabinZero Hip Pack 2L, just less padded and probably lighter. Carries my passport, wallet, mobile phone, powerbank, 3-in-1 short charging cable, bluetooth earphones with charging dock x2, rechargeable handheld mini fan, buff, wet wipes 10's, handsanitizer 25ml, and mini carabiner for attaching my foldable backpack. All that stuff happens to spread out and layer in nicely so the waist bag appears quite flat and doesn't bulge up too much and draw attention. Remember to put the various items in ziploc bags to keep them waterproofed, especially your passport.

It fits, but without being able to throw in the mini Manfroto pixi tripod, Glif adaptor, or Moment lens.

thanks i have been wanting something to carry my dji om4 and a few moment lenses..... and i have been struggling finding something that is small but not too small or too large..... AER was one I was considering. Also thinking about peak design 3l

I really like the 3L, but it seems still too big or… bulging for what I am doing. I’m either on a OneWheel or trekking off somewhere. In a couple of hiking vlogs I have on my KZfaq channel I have the Aer slung over my shoulder. In it I can hold the new Om 4, and hold the Rode wireless go 2 mics, cables I need for the mics and phone to recharge, cold shoe adapter that attaches around the Om 4 grip and the mini tripod that now comes with it. Plus I just bought a great little pouch from Moment that holds two Moment lens (Wide and Tele). I can Velcro that around the thick Aer strap for quick access and save some space in the sling. It’s been a perfect tiny set up for the odd misadventures I’ve been having over the last 7 months. The sling has been fantastic for what I’m doing. I only carry a bigger bag when I need to carry water🙃

I bought a TomTok sling and it's super good. Also it's not too bad in terms of price. Like it's around $40 American and it carries everything in my pockets+my headphones or switch. I'd give it a look cause I think it's a great budget sling...well budget compared to the normal $75 of most good slings.

I do travel with a sling and a backpack...I have slings from Pantagonia, MR, Peak Designs and Tom Bihn....The REI Trail 5 kills them all and will hold a small water bottle. Same materials and craftsmanship way cheaper too!
