FULL DISCLOSURE:
This video is not sponsored nor did I receive any money. While I sometimes get bags for free, I have to pay custom fees, shipping fees and all my videos have lots of production costs (e.g. software and musicrights). Therefore I invest my own money into all of these videos and I have no intention to be biased towards a product or company. Every review and quicklook is written by me and no company can pay for preferential scheduling or what is said in the video. Furthermore, the company sees the video the same time as all viewers here on youtube. All opinions in this video are my own unless stated otherwise.

HOW I REVIEW:
As you might know from my „How I make a buying decision“ video: Rather than just looking at the pros, I like to evaluate the cons or flaws of an item and then evaluate if I can live with them. That is why in my video reviews I concentrate more on the cons of an item rather than going over all the features. Therefore everything shown is just a fraction of all the points that go into the verdict and score of an item.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A QUICKLOOK AND A REVIEW:
A Quicklook usually covers pre-production units or items that I only used for a short period of time. While Reviews cover final items that I have reviewed intensively.
LINKS:
For all my videos I decided not to include links for the products. Everyone is living in different countries and therefore has to deal with different shipping and customs fees. That is why I would advice everyone just to Google the product within their country to find the best deals. For instance: I live in Germany, It wouldn’t make sense to give you a German link while you might be living in USA or Asia. I hope that is understandable.

I wish I were as crafty and clever as you. I just returned the Evergoods new 2L sling which was terrific except for the buckle and strap (sorry, Evergoods).

[@Youknowthebo]

Thank you very much. That's a shame with the Evergoods. I definitely want to review it in the future. What was wrong with the strap?

[@seechangenyc280]

@@Youknowthebo thick (cheap), slippery strap. Large and conventional buckle in the middle which hit me in a bad spot, no strap management. I expected more innovation of the strap/buckle of the better slings (again, sorry Evergoods). People posted lots of hacks, as the “bag” itself is well done and seems lots of people wanted to keep it. Like I said, I am not handy, nor a good hacker. Nor do I have the interest or time in looking for solutions. Would like something that works straight out of the box. Yet to find my Goldilocks. Is yours still the Heimplanet (I’m your size and torso length)? I know you did a comparison awhile ago…but so many have hit the market since then.

[@vanquestgear]

Solid upgrades to any pack!

[@Youknowthebo]

Thanks, mate

[@avilavance7915]

Hab mit Sling Bags auch so meine Probleme. Hab jetzt ganz aktuell ein Evergoods Civics Access Sling 2l bestellt und versuche es nochmal. Tolle Tipps im Video.

[@Youknowthebo]

Der Evergoods interessiert mich auch total. Drücke dir die Daumen, dass er deinen Ansprüchen gerecht wird 👍👍

[@avilavance7915]

@@Youknowthebo hatte sie jetzt ein paar Tage mir, sowohl alleine, als auch mit Kindern und das Teil trägt sich super und ist wie immer top verarbeitet. Die 2l haben meiner Meinung nach die richtige Größe.

[@andrewyip2967]

Bo, you should check out Nooz Optics sunglasses for alleviating the crushing concern, just got a couple pairs and pretty happy with the slim hard case they fit into. Pocketable

[@Youknowthebo]

Thanks, Andrew. I will check them out

[@DanganYankee]

Neat! Me myself use the smallest lockable s-biner to make somewhat of a lock mechanism for my Code of Bell X-Pod. I also always add a heroclip.

[@Youknowthebo]

Good addition to your bag 👍

[@johnkendra1187]

Is the Ridgebake sling still available? I can't find anyone on the company.

[@Youknowthebo]

Not sure to be honest. I need to check

[@johnkendra1187]

Thank you.

[@mucheychimezie5436]

Always love your Vid. They've been extremely useful esp your reviews😩

[@Youknowthebo]

Thank you very much, Muchey

[@harunomiya]

Great mods. I have a suggestion, use ranger bands as excess strap keepers and add some on the area where rest the strap on your shoulder. This will help keep it in place and minimize the bag sliding around. It can also work on backpack straps.

[@Youknowthebo]

Thank you very much. I will try that ✌️😉

[@hex802]

Nice and original video :)

[@Youknowthebo]

Thank you very much for watching ✌️😊

[@divinelyshpongled]

So good thanks for the awesome tips

[@Youknowthebo]

Thank you very much 😉 ✌️

[@archi.snobby]

Is it any chance to buy this sling from Ridgebake?! Can’t find their site(

[@Youknowthebo]

I fear it might be discontinued

[@wongjefx980]

I just bought a new one. That was my upgrade. Was using a Fanny pack as Sling and over time it was irritating.

[@Youknowthebo]

Which one did you buy if I may ask?
