Customer Reviews
Would like more specific internal organization -- such as just for few pens. Maybe a integrated soft-lined slip in pouch/sleeve for glasses, as well. Fabric is top-notch. Packing it down is more challenging that it looks.
I wanted a day bag that could hold my iPad and a few essentials without being too bulky. The bag is perfect for that. I keep a long sleeve lightweight hoodie, a beanie cap, and sunglasses case in the bag most of the time and can add my iPad in a Dash sleeve, occasionally a book or other small items, with my wallet, phone, keys all in the outside pocket. The material is nice as always. I can’t think of any downside to this bag. It replaced my Sutter Tech Sling which was a little too rigid and therefore unable to accommodate some of the items I might want to throw in there from time to time.
Haven’t used it yet
I got this thinking I was going to use it as a packable one. When I opened it and started using it, I was impressed with the quality built into it. I haven't folded it to pack in another bag. Instead I've been using it as a permanent one. I have a draw string backpack I fold up and put it in my sling bag as a packable one.
After promptly receiving my new packable sling, I was immediately impressed with the quality build and rich feeling materials. The materials lives up to the promise of a wrinkle free experience. No longer must my travel day bag look like it came out of a dirty laundry hamper.

“The Packable Sling is a sling backpack that holds its form well, thanks to a solid construction with minor padding inside and reinforced stitching.”

THE MAGICAL MATERIAL
With input from over 1000 customers, we set out to design a packable bag ideal for both travel and everyday use.
We created a custom-made material that combines Taslan — a high-tech woven fabric that feels natural and substantial, with a layer of tricot mesh for structure, and a water-resistant coating.
This durable, lightweight textile remains crisp and unwrinkled even after it has been stuffed or folded.
THE GOLDILOCKS-SIZED BAG
The Packable Sling Bag is perfectly sized to hold your daily essentials. Worn on the back or chest, it's not too big or too small, not too wide, or too narrow. You can wear it to run errands, or take it to important meetings.
It squishes down easily so you can conveniently store it in your luggage without taking too much space.
HOW TO FOLD
1. Lay the Packable Sling flat and take out the interior pocket.
2. Fold into thirds toward the middle.
3. Roll from the bottom toward the pocket.
4. Turn the pocket inside out and flip the rolled Sling into it.
5. Zip it up and go.
