Most awesome review

[@Pack_roam]

@@Gogogordy1 Thanks!

Nice review. The fidlock gives me anxiety, a great way to lose all your most valuable items, especially if on a bike. I ended up putting a screwed karabiner through the two loops that pass through the fidlock on the outside as a fail-safe.

[@Pack_roam]

Thanks! Yeah, I don’t trust the slide lock fidlocks.

[@wormyx.xymrow]

What kind of carabiner did you buy and how'd you do it?

[@harunomiya]

I've been interested in Aer slings and your review is great. If you want to stow the strap, you can use a ranger band. (You can make your own, any length from a bicycle inner tube.) It also adds a type of grip to keep a sling from sliding around. If you pack the sling to full capacity does the contents dig into your back?

[@Pack_roam]

Thanks for the tip! I haven’t had an issue with contents digging into my back and I’ve had it pretty stuffed. I suppose it could though, depending on what you put in it. There’s no padding, but there is a few layers of material between contents and your back, especially in the main pocket.

I will be traveling to Thailand in January. Based on your video, I will be ordering this bang. Do you think that the xpac is worth the extra $26 compared to just the Day Sling 3?

[@Pack_roam]

To me, yes. You get the waterproof properties of the x-pac and the aquaguard zippers all the way around. Plus, the orange interior is just cool. January looks like the dry season in Thailand, so maybe waterproof isn’t that important to you. I’d still prefer the x-pac.

[@itun1105]

@@Pack_roam I got the xpac and it arrived last Thursday just in time for a weekend vacation to Niagara Falls. I have to say, I am so happy I decided to buy this sling bag. It made life so much easier while walking around the city and exploring the National Park. Very water resistant as none of belongings got wet while doing activities such as Cave of the Winds and Maid of the Mist. Thank you again for making this video. For anyone else reading this, just get it!!! You won't be disappointed!!!!

[@Pack_roam]

@@itun1105 Excellent! Glad you like it. It’s a great sling, Love mine. Haven’t been to Niagara Falls in a long time, but seems like a pretty good place to test out the water resistance if I’m remembering correctly.

[@ryztofu]

My hesitation is the fidlock potentially coming lose like he mentioned in the video.. Have you had any issues with this?@@itun1105

[@bigzv6948]

Thanks i order this base on your review

[@Pack_roam]

Awesome! It’s a great sling.

[@PMedic195]

Heading to Alaska next month. Do you think a pair of binoculars would fit in there? Probably bringing a pair of 8x42.

[@Pack_roam]

I’ve got a pair of compact Leupold’s that will, otherwise not sure.

[@PMedic195]

@@Pack_roam Thank you!

[@solomonkane408]

I gorilla taped my fid lok so It won't open. Great review .

[@Pack_roam]

I may have to do the same. I like having a buckle, but not as much as I like having my sling secure.

[@Pack_roam]

Also… thanks!

[@technium100]

⁠​That really comes through! I could see you doing this in a movie for a special ops unit. I don’t have anything in mind at the moment, but will definitely send any ideas your way. Looking forward to more. 😁

[@Pack_roam]

Thanks! Now I want to be in a movie 😂

[@sdophoto1405]

Great review would it fit a sony a600 with a 35mm lens? Been trying to find something that fits but that is not too big.

[@Pack_roam]

I think it might, a600 is a small body. Can’t say for sure though, I don’t have one.

[@JonCross]

Great review one of the best explanations of xpac I’ve seen

[@Pack_roam]

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback!

[@nizamialickolli8603]

Great review, also maybe take look at bellroy adventure ready sling,2.5litre

[@Pack_roam]

Yes! I wanted that sling when it was first released and I had a hard time getting my hands on the color I wanted. Thanks for reminding me.

[@DrifterGaming]

great review, bro sounds out of breath

[@Pack_roam]

I had to go back and listen. Damn. Sounds like I’m running a marathon! I must have had my mic levels set to ASMR. Or I was REALLY excited about that sling.

[@ChrisCarries_EDC]

Would you be able to store an A6 Memobottle in that front pocket? Or a 700ml Vapur bottle?

[@Pack_roam]

I’ve got a 1000ml Vapur bottle that just barely fits in the front pocket rolled up. A6 Memobottle no. Description says the A6 is 4.4” wide x 7.7” high. That front pocket has a depth of about 3.5”.

[@ChrisCarries_EDC]

@@Pack_roam Thank you!

[@TechNbags]

I have a video where I test waterbottles inside the Aer Day Sling 3 : kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYCvd2CorpuCZsk

[@ChrisCarries_EDC]

@@TechNbags Thanks, that’s a really useful video. I got the CAS2 and it is perfect for my water bottle needs - the Vapur 750ml fits perfectly

[@ОлегПервый-ф4б]

hello which is more cute for walking around the city, aer sling 3 regular or Pac 3

[@Pack_roam]

Cute isn’t my area of expertise, but I wouldn’t describe either version as cute.

[@technium100]

I’ve been watching sling videos for days. Best, most practical info as well as honest and straight forward. You sound like someone who has been actually using the gear who’s able to offer a practical, meaningful eval. I’ll be watching you for reviews on other gear.

[@Pack_roam]

Wow! I’m thrilled to hear you found my review helpful! I spend quite a bit of time using gear before I offer a full review because I aim to provide exactly the value you mentioned. More reviews coming. Any suggestions on gear you’d like to see? Thanks for watching!

[@anthonythornton8478]

I’ve had this sling for well over a year and have travelled a lot with it, inc a 3 week trip across Vietnam. The fid lock has never come undone on me and I really enjoy using it, makes getting the sling off quickly very easy. Great review!

[@Pack_roam]

Good to know that the Fidlock remained secure for you. I get paranoid. Great sling overall though. 3 weeks across Vietnam sounds amazing! Thanks for watching!

[@jeanneprice6736]

Agree about the lock. Unreliable.

[@ryztofu]

This is what's held me back from purchasing it...

[@shiveringisles3509]

@@ryztofu Put some elastic band or hair tie over it and it's good to go. I don't really unbuckle much and prefer removing from over my head anyway. Hope they'll implement removable straps in the future iterations.
