Just received the bag today to replace my older bag that still works fine, but was filled to bursting!
I carry an iPhone Air, a set of Oakley Holbrook XLs in a soft sock, a money clip, Sienna car fob thats a big on the larger side, AirPods pros, hair ties, and my wedding ring when not worn.
The items fit well in the new bag, the phone moving from the back pocket of the older bag to the back interior pocket or perhaps I will have it hang out in the front pocket? Still deciding.
Comparing the straps, I like the orientation of the straps on the new bag, the old one would rotate about my body rather easily which was annoying.
I don't know how I feel about the strap quality, the material seems a bit different and the new clasp, while much more lightweight, doesn't seem to have the same easy strap lengthening system as the previous bag.
But I'll update after further use. The previous bag served me well for many years so I expect the same here.
Perfect Sized EDC! I love this bag so far. I wasn't sure I would like this, but this has become my favorite small sling to carry my necessities. Good job again, Waterfield!
Love the pack but the material makes a noise when you wear it. I got the black leather one. Hope it disappears once I wear it in a bit.
The Fidlock buckle looks like a magnet for snatch thieves.... pardon the pun! :-)
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.
