Perfect size for a minimal carry.

If you are going on a trip, and you want to take a 14 inch MacBook, water bottle, Electronics kit maybe a little bit more, this is absolutely the perfect sling. Comfortable stylish and well organized. Couldn't be happier

Quality

I love the quality construction of this Sling. The fit and finish is exceptional. I highly recommend getting the waxed leather version. Quality products are still made in the United States

Fantastic Product,

I have been loving this bag. I got the smaller version, and thought that I would need to be worried for it being more compact. But once I had it for the last few weeks, I realized how comfortable it is. The only regret I have is from my end.. I regret not buying the top handle strap addition which I am thinking now should have been a must.

Well built sling pack that is slim and so has less main compartment space that may need careful organization. Maybe a cable organization pack. Hopefully they bring back the tech folio case, ( not the tech folio briefs ). Still would by another one if needed down the road.

Almost perfect

The bag is definitely well made. I doubt it will have any issues for years to come. I know the handle on top is an extra option, but I think it really helps with daily use I read that it fit an ipad pro 12.9 with the magic keyboard case, but that is a very snug fit and is a bit fiddly to get the iPad out and back in the sleeve meant for it. Surprisingly a Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra fit better into the bag. I also can confirm that a Galaxy book Go 5G (14 Inches) will fit with the same snugness issue as the 12.9 ipad with case.
As for storage of other items I have little to complain about. I think it could improve by adding a lower internal pocket some additional items. The higher up pockets for pens and whatnot are fine. Just seems like you could add another pocket or two below that for a couple more items that you might not want rolling around the bag.
You can carry a 12.9 inch ipad and a 13 inch laptop comfortably in the bag as long as you don't mind putting one of them in the open space inside. The front pocket worked very well and does a good job of concealing what is kept inside. I've had friends comment positively about the rainproof zippers. If it had just another inch of width for the tablet pocket or another row of pockets inside for my "EDC" stuff it would definitely be a 5 star bag it wod be my go-to bag for everything. But I do find myself swapping out for a Boundary Supply or Aer sling on occasion.

ONE-HAND ADJUSTMENT WHILE THE BAG IS ON YOU

"Perfect. Super compact. Zippers are easy to manipulate one handed. Cam lock works great to loosen it and slide to the front without taking it off for quick reach in." - Lawrence I., Santa Ana, US

HOW TO FRESHEN UP YOUR CANVAS

Keep your bag looking new by applying wax when you think it needs a little refresh. Although any wax is applicable, you can use Martexin Original Wax which was initially used to coat your canvas bag. 

CARING FOR YOUR LEATHER AND WAXED CANVAS 

 

If you have the waxed canvas and chocolate leather version of the Sutter Tech Sling, 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 bag.
