I think the water bottle pocket is for a bottle of cola, water 500ml or a can of red bull 250ml or cola 330ml

This is an awesome sling. Has all the right features. I do like when slings can go over either shoulder personally but it wouldn’t be a deal breaker.

Just got mine. Great bag so far. I've got 2 longer trips coming up in the next couple months and the version of this bag with the blue outer area and orange center is particularly good looking IMO. The stretchy side pocket just BARELY fits my 15 pro max phone and the inside is not big enough for the normal ipad but fits my ipad mini just fine. Also, as long as you don't have the bag packed too full, the bungee cord holds a big yeti bottle perfectly.

The patagonia atomic 8L sling is the ultimate win win, the north face is still a decent bag but I wish it was BIGGER to hold an iPad or a small surface pro 7 and the “water bottle pocket” was expandable like the sport sling from Beís (shay Mitchell) AND if you could switch the straps on either side then I would buy this bag…

I’ve been using a Cookies smell proof rat pack for almost 3 years now. It was my first cross body bag and now that I’ve owned a technical backpack for a few months (the north face borealis) I want to get the sling version. But… there is one issue I can’t seem to choose between the Patagonia 8l atom sling or the borealis sling. They are pretty such exactly the same except the borealis has the bungees and a small water bottle compartment. The Patagonia one is bigger since it’s 8l instead of 6l, also I think it’s more stylish. Hmmm 🤔 decisions
@herb_rolls8 ай бұрын
I just came here from watching an Atom Sling video and apparently it's uncomfortable because of how much it slides.
@MirfromMBLAQ8 ай бұрын
@@herb_rolls I ended up buying the Patagonia atom sling and although I do use it you are right about it sliding a lot. The small pouch can’t ever stay put where you want it across your chest it always slides up to my neck so for long hours using the bag it gets annoying. Honestly I should have went with the north face borealis sling. Maybe next time I buy a bag I’ll get it right haha

Even a 20oz one is better than a plain ice mountain bottle. Any suggestions? Not picky on brand. Was looking at the borealis mini too but that also doesn’t have a larger water bottle holder. Would be open to small backpacks too that can fit a larger water bottle. Please help me out please!
