Impressed

High quality materials and about as professional looking as a sling can get. It also stands on its own.

Another WF beauty

I have the black ExoPak, and the canvas. They are very different. The black is lightweight, almost weightless, and is very good to use. The canvas and leather is really beautiful and feels substantial. I think it is a truly beautiful item. I also have ballistic Shinjuku sling which as the hidden back pocket. I’m think I’d like that in the Traverse, for stowing a passport. But it’s not a deal-breaker.

Great Sling

Great Sling for Daily use. Very well made stitching is perfect.
Also the locking by magnet for the belt is very useful.
I’m happy, highly recommended

A perfect size

A perfect size, i can even carry a small bottle of water inside

finally, i got the great sling bag all the time

Finally, I’ve found an amazing sling bag.
First of all, it looks great with almost any outfit. I chose the Blue / Black Leather (ECOPAK) version, and even with this color combination, it doesn’t stand out too much. It has a subtle and sophisticated look.
I also have to mention how practical it is. It has pretty much everything I need when I’m on the go, and everything feels well thought out.
But for me, one of the most important things about a sling bag is how it feels against the body. Since you wear a sling bag close to your body for long periods of time, if the material or overall feel isn’t comfortable, it can be difficult to enjoy using it for long.
This sling bag, however, meets about 99% of what I look for in a sling bag. It feels comfortable, practical, and very natural to wear.
Give it a try. Once you wear it, you’ll know exactly what I mean.

WaterField Designs Traverse Sling Review

Pack Hacker - October 12, 2026

“The WaterField Designs Traverse Sling keeps things simple with a polished look, comfortable carry, and practical organization for everyday essentials.”

Design details

DESIGN THAT EARNS ITS ATTENTION

The Traverse Sling's signature look starts with a single bold move: a zipper that cuts diagonally across the bag. It's not just a striking detail; it's the structural backbone that gives the Sling its distinctive shape and visual interest.

Professionals, bag aficionados, and everyone who values good design will appreciate the fine details in the Traverse Sling.

DYNAMIC DESIGN

The diagonal zipper helps balance the sling's structured, professional silhouette with the flexibility to flatten for travel. Once unflattened, the Traverse will spring back to its three-dimensional form, ready to carry your daily essentials.

The zipper extends three-quarters of the perimeter and lets you open the bag wide for easy access to its contents.

MATERIALS MAKE THE CASE

The Traverse Sling's materials are chosen for how they perform, not just how they look.

EcoPak™ is lightweight and highly durable, engineered to resist abrasion and weather. The Sling won't weigh you down as you go about your day. Waxed canvas earns its durability differently — it softens and develops a rich patina with every use. The more you carry it, the more character it earns.

DESIGNED FOR THE DAILY

The Traverse Sling fits your phone, wallet, keys, even a small camera or notebook. Angled straps sit close to your body for all-day comfort, and a natural hood forms when open, keeping contents hidden from view.

QUICK AND CONVENIENT

The self-finding magnetic Fidlock buckle detaches in one motion — take the Sling off, or strap it to your chair when dining at a restaurant for extra security.

STAND OUT FROM THE EVERYDAY

The Traverse Sling turns the everyday carry into a statement. Choose classic waxed canvas for a timeless heritage look or technical EcoPak™ textile for a clean, modern, edge. Each is accented with full-grain leather, ready to move with you from the office to the meeting to the evening ahead.
