Hip Sling Bag Review

I contemplated this purchase for some time; not sure that I was ready for a “man purse”. I’m so glad I bought it; it’s the perfect way to keep track of all my travel necessities and free my pockets. The sling is comfortable, easy to access and remove.

Nice well built, needs a little tweaking

Very well built bag but compact needs to be slightly wider to fit iPad mini 6 better. Difficult to get the iPad in and out especially if you are using a case on the iPad

Hip Sling Bag - Compact

There’s something about the combination of waxed canvass and leather that just makes bags with these fabrics “right”, Waterfield executed this compact version of the Hip Sling Bag in the fabric perfectly. In my opinion, hands down the best waxed canvass compact sling in it’s size category. The leather panel complete’s it.

Tech Folio Plus can be crammed full of tech gadgets — and look good while protecting ‘em

Apple World Today - September 27, 2018

“I use the Tech Folio Plus as an accessory to my laptop case. However, if you use an iPad Pro in lieu of a Mac laptop, the WaterField Design case may be the only one you need for your tech equipment.”

The Hip Sling Bag was developed with customer input through our Community Design. See the process here.

WHICH STRAP IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

The Strap comes in Short or Long to accommodate different body heights and girths.  To find which length is right for you, consider how you'll primarily use the Hip Sling Bag — around the waist or sling-style? — and how much extra strap you can tolerate. 

 

RECOMMENDATION 

 CONSIDERATIONS

SHORT STRAP 
  • Primary use: Hip bag
  • Fits waists measuring 25" to 46" (63.5 cm to 116.84 cm)
  • May be worn as a Sling bag if shirt size is Extra Small or Small (Unisex size)
LONG STRAP
  • Primary use: Sling Bag
  • Fits waists measuring 25" to 57" (63.5 cm to 144.78 cm)
  • When worn as a Hip Bag, there will be a bit of excess dangling straps

THE KEY TO COMFORT AND CONVENIENCE

 

We put as much thought into the Strap as we did into the Hip Bag in our quest for comfort, convenience, and durability. A wide 1.5-inch soft webbing won't dig into your skin, and hi-performance hardware makes it quick and easy to adjust the strap.  

 

The magnetic buckle locks into place so it's easy to put on, the quick-adjusting camlock let's you change the strap length, and the quick-release pull makes it a cinch to take off. 

 

***

 

“Please can you make the straps so that it can be worn on both shoulders? Most bags cater for the left shoulder only and none of the adjustments or quick release work well on the right shoulder, which is the side I wear my bags on.” - #10

 

THE HIP SLING BAG COLLECTION

Over 1000 customers participated in this community design, resulting in a Hip Bag that also functions equally well as a Sling, and comes in three sizes to carry a variety of items.  

 

The Hip Sling Bag keeps contents in place whether worn horizontally or vertically; can be opened from right or left and up or down; and has a comfortable strap for the hip or shoulder.

 

The Mini Hip Sling Bag is for the minimalists who carry just the essentials, and the Compact and Full Hip Sling Bag fits devices like an iPad, Nintendo Switch, or a light jacket. 


***

 

“I'd use this as a bag that allows me to empty my pockets and carry a few extra items comfortably.” - #8

 

“I'm an IT professional, so I'd carry small random stuff that ends up in a tech pouch, plus things like a small flashlight and, by some miracle, a small laptop.” - #35

 

CARING FOR YOUR LEATHER AND WAXED CANVAS

 

If you have the Waxed Canvas Hip Sling Bag, Gary shows how you can maintain these materials so they’ll look great over time. We use full grain Roughman Leather for your bag which has oils that respond well to heat.

 

Although this video is for the AirPods Max Shield Case, the maintenance also applies to your Hip Bag.
