Getting the right travel sling could be challenging because you have to consider a lot of things like:
1. COMFORT - Is it comfortable to wear? Is it too bulky when worn?
2. SECURITY - Does it have enough cushioning for my phone/tablet? Does it have a hardshell case for extra protection?
3. CAPACITY - Is it too small? Can it fit my laptop for my business meeting? Can it fit my water bottle?
4. MATERIAL - Is it lightweight? Is it weatherproof?
5. PURPOSE - Is it packable so I can use it as an extra travel bag?
6. VALUE - Is it really worth the price?

We know you have a lot more questions in mind, so make sure to watch our full review of the 11 Best Travel Slings!

I recently picked up Alpaka’s tech case mini, which advertises that it can kinda also function as a sling, and includes a strap. I bought it only be to used as a tech case, and figured the sling option would feel kinda tacked on… but I gotta say, it fits/functions pretty darn well as a sling. The strap is super-minimal, no buckle for detaching it or anything like the vertical pouch, but the case itself is so light that it’s not a big deal, and the pocketing/zipper situation works really well in sling mode. Totally an option if you mainly want a tech pouch but like the idea of it doubling as a sling on a trip.

Alpaka is sneakily killing it with these sorts of pouches/slings - love the feel and design and function.

Bought the Aer go sling 2 because of you and absolutely love it. Use it everyday

[DennisAndersonJr]

Thanks for sharing your expertise with the rest of us! Truly appreciate the hard work and dedication you put into your videos.

thanks aaron. this will be good for my upcoming trip.

I love slings, I went a little crazy this year and tried at least 13 of them in various sizes. For travel they are great. My current travel one is an xpac tomtoc e21 which is about the same size at that evergoods one. I’d have picked up the evergoods in sage, but the strap length was a little short for me to wear on the chest, and I’m not fully committed to fanny style waist carry yet lol.

Just a note for viewers that that Peak Design sling is actually the 6L, not the 10L. The 10L doesn't have the side stretch pockets and significantly larger. You can actually see at 8:18 the 6L designation on the inside of the bag

You are the reason I bought Aer's Tech Sling 2. It's a perfect coffee shop companion. The bag is big enough to warrant some ventilation & I hope the next iteration offers some along with a step up for the internal materials & colors. If for some reason it doesn't get updated, I'm thrilled I got in on it.

[Reli]

Appreciate the effort to bring a bunch of slings in one video. For me the AER Tech Sling 2 is the best for its size, price and packability.

[consume_vegetables]

You're spot on with the evergoods. I own the Evergood CPL24, and I can't believe its 24 liters. I can fit 3 thin laptops (2 with sleeve). 1 10 inch tablets. Two laptop accessories pouches. 1 jeans, 1 shirt. 3 passport. 2 short stabilizers for my recurve bow. And other small knickknacks.

I also have the Peak Design 6L. Its great but I would trade it for an Alpaka Bravo, as it fits my use case with organization pockets and a key leash (plus the HUB ecosystem)

i bought my nephew the alpaka vertical from your link and he loves it but he can't just leave it anywhere for fear of getting stolen because it really looks luxe.

[machtmer]

Oh snap! That Vertical Sling might be that which gets me into Alpaka! That design and the specs just seem to align perfectly with my tastes 👍

[timmyturton]

Bellroy Products are my personal favourites every time. Got the Bellroy Sling Mini and loved using it on Vacay. But my strip before I used my Girlfriends Bellroy Lite Sling in Arcade Grey and it was a joy to use and held a bit more stuff than my Mini.

[erichanson]

The Bellroy Lite Sling is a really nice looking sling. Love my PD slings. Wish they did not discontinue the 5L but I still have on and the 3L.

[SubsequentEloquent]

north face nuptse crossbody bag among my favorite beside bellroy venture lite sling. ❤

[arondyte]

I wish Bellroy would make a 9L version of the lite sling. A foldable/packable lightweight 9L sling would be the dream travel sling.

[bmccook]

Love your videos. Would like to see you review the Tomtoc Explorer T-21. Both the small and medium (3L and 7L)

[shanecavette]

Hey Aaron, do you still like the Tech Sling 2 more than the 3?

[TheTrailDancer]

You left out the Fjällräven Ulvo... its amazing.

[hwrdgrn]

If you truly want the perfect sling / pack / bag / wearables that have all the features you like including size, color, quality of materials and features - then take the time to learn how to make your own, from scratch. It amazes me how few men do not know even the most fundamental skills of sewing, yet take pride in their ability to use shop tools. Trust me, the basic skillset is the same, and you will gain an absolutely invaluable skill.

[saedo]

Been considering a Bellroy Venture Ready Sling 2.5L, any reviews on that?
