Know before you buy
The bag features a fixed rope shoulder strap design intended to be worn across the body. While it is designed for a specific orientation, the adjustable length allows you to find a comfortable fit regardless of your height.
The 75D polyester taslan is water-resistant, meaning it will protect your belongings from light moisture or a brief drizzle. However, it is not fully waterproof, so it is best to keep electronics in a dry bag if you expect heavy downpours.
The 10-liter volume is perfect for daily essentials like a water bottle, a light jacket, a tablet, and your wallet or keys. The vertical zip compartments are specifically designed to keep these smaller items organized so they don't settle at the bottom.
Yes, the pack includes a padded back panel that helps distribute weight evenly against your body. The adjustable rope strap allows you to customize the fit, making it comfortable for extended periods of walking or commuting.
The Slingback does not feature a padded laptop sleeve. While it can accommodate a small tablet or e-reader within its main compartment, it is primarily designed for everyday carry items rather than heavy tech gear.
