I love a good cross body sling: Totally un-ergonomic, will fuck your shoulder up, crush your electronics and mostly they're terrible for trying to get a water bottle into.

Also they make you look like a hipster.

Anyway I have four.

Sling bags get thier own corner of the internet for fans and obsessives, and it's pretty hilarious.

The "I review for a living and I have no idea what any of this stuff is" They look at a mesh pocket, brainfault and start saying 'the uh stretchy, um lycra... stuff?.

It's so premium it has nothing. A bag with no interior pockets, padding or zips to stop your crap falling out: $200. A bag with every concession to fitting on the human body and safeguarding each stick of gum or electronic thingy: $50

Let me show you how to pack this! Someone on a channel called PackMasterLordsOfPacking Demonstrating the bag by putting their sunglasses in then dropping a litre bottle of water on and attempting to stuff a Nintendo Switch in to the front pocket with a leatherman attached to the keychain. They hammer their phone into the fibre lined pocket that has the sunglasses logo. The tablet pocket and passport pocket are ignored. There's a Cliff bar hanging off an external strap via a carabiner that's covered in heat-shrink.

This belongs... outside the bag! The insistence on hanging things off of external straps so you're walking around with a chandalier of crap slapping your ass. Just... no.

We're reviewing 50 slings, in 5 minutes, but Bellroy's one so we didn't need to bother. In any comparison video the Bellroy Venture is always the winner. It's just that good. There's only one other sling that's both 5 times cheaper and actually 100% better... but it got discontinued so you have to go with Bellroy anyway.

Im going to Hack this Pack! It's Paracord tied to the straps.

This Every Day Sling is 100% the best for city life It's too small for a water bottle, or a lunch box, or a coat but man, it looks good posing in down-town Hong Kong int he slow-mo walk videos.
