Is The Dsptch Unit Sling Bag Really Worth $238? Check Out This Review And Walkthrough!

BOOM! Hey everyone and WELCOME to The Perfect Bag!
DSPTCH updated their Unit Sling lineup with a slew of new bags!
Important - like a dummy I said that the orange tab had no function and was a design element (I went hard on that). Important wrong - it's clearly a pull tab for releasing the fidlock.
Check them out! What do you think?

My name is Klint, you may know me from my POV Exploration channel, ​The Perfect Walk⁠ - but did you know is also have a passion for bags?? Sling bags, backpacks, messengers, all of them! We will do reviews and features here and talk all things bags! I hope to help everyone find their perfect bag!
Each video will feature two things I loved about the bag or item I am reviewing and two things I wish were different along with an overall recommendation of who this may be the perfect bag for. All reviews are 'one take' - meaning that I speak from the heart, share my real thoughts, and don't edit anything. You get me and the item I'm reviewing, that's it.
Thanks everyone!

[@BrettRyr30]

Loved this in depth review! Definitely came in hand making my decision 😁

[@ThePerfectBag]

glad it helped!!!

[@lucseime5527]

I have the large one since several months and it’s a great daily bag. I use the small back pocket for my credit card 💳 and it’s great. Dsptch always make a great job 👏

[@ThePerfectBag]

Yup. They make great stuff. A top 5 bag company for me.

[@asimplefarmer]

I own this bag and it was awesome as a daily bag while traveling. the way the bag wraps around your body makes it look smaller than it is. I really highly recommend people wear it either cross body where the bag bends around your side. even wearing on on shoulder looks and feels good. i loved this bag so much i bought the unit shoulder bag in dyneema.

[@ThePerfectBag]

What do you think of the shoulder bag vs this?

[@asimplefarmer]

@@ThePerfectBag depends on the person's needs for sure. the shoulder bag has more compartments and is a pretty large bag that still wraps making it feel a bit smaller, unlike a messenger bag. I live in a big city so daily carry between the two can depend. sometimes it was just the vibe of the bag but sometimes i needed to bring more stuff. i agree with you that the rear pocket on the sling is too small. I used it to hold mints and transit cards. i could squeeze my iphone 14 pro in it but it was tough to take it out. I wear a lot of hats and the small fidlock on the bag was great to hold my hat through the hat adjustment band if im out all day. The unit sling was great travelling since it was my personal item that could store a ton of stuff for an international flight. easily have my gear on me like chargers, phones, even a usbc game controller to play emulators on my phone. the unit shoulder bag might be able to get away as a personal item, but it could depend on the airline. while it could hold a laptop in the large top compartment, you lose the body wrapping-ness of these bags.

I just bought one of the sling bags and it fulfils my expectations and requirements above pretty much every other sling I've had. Size, shape, capacity, add on/attachment points, materials, strap capability. I might also prefer the back to be the same material, but maybe it's too slippery or rough. I have the sling pouch in dyneema, and many other DSPTCH products which I love. Made in USA by a true design and manufacturing company justifies the price for me. I will add on that the sling is very modular in design, I added pouches on the MOLLE and strap and it turned into a high tech and super efficient beast. It will be hard to find some thing better IMO, for my purposes.

[@Tonschleuser]

Also a very similar bag is the Heldclosely day bag (11/15 liter). I love mine and I bought it after I saw your review of the bigger traveler bag but it was too big for my taste. The small one is brilliant in my opinion with more pockets than the Dsptch. Definitely worth to check out. But unfortunately even more expensive. Thanks for the good review.

[@ThePerfectBag]

I wish I had that daypack from held Closely!!!!

[@Tonschleuser]

I think the reason for the black material on the back side is to make it less slippery on your body. So the bag stays better in position. But if the quality is not on par with the rest that’s a problem I think. But I think I will still buy one. But the Dyneema version, I love me my Dyneema and Ultra material.

[@ThePerfectBag]

let me know what you think when you get it! Post your thoughts here or in the SubReddit.

[@j0404t]

Please tell me the small pocket in the back panel can fit a passport. If not what were they thinking?!

[@ThePerfectBag]

It can - but would struggle with a passport wallet

[@federers6711]

What is the clip that you use that looks like a dinosaur?

[@ThePerfectBag]

Good description! I think you mean this: amzn.to/3ZtcTq6

[@sahith2272]

Would this fit a 14 inch macbook?

[@ThePerfectBag]

Nope

[@Paa375]

Does the bag even have padding for at $3000 item

[@FactsTrumpFeelings.]

Dsptch always make that back security pocket too small, that’s the one that’s up against your body, the safest part of the bag , wen it comes to stopping theft of valuables..

[@xekeys]

Man, love the review, dislike the bag. That’s a bummer, been waiting for this one for a long time. Sigh, the search for the perfect bag continues…

[@polterghosty]

I’m not a fan of their back panel material either. It seems to break down and have q&a issues.

[@jasonmccall3950]

I am hoping that fidlocks are more of a fad that soon will disappear. I don't trust my adhd self not to lose my bag weekly accidentally undoing the fidlock. Maybe side release buckles will come back into style.

[@asimplefarmer]

i have the same fear, but that fidlock on the main strap is actually pretty difficult to remove. even pulling on the pull tab requires a bit of effort.

[@Paa375]

Maybe I don’t appreciate the mundane way of making bags but this almost looks like a grocery tote bag for $350 where I live I’m going to have to give it two 👎🏻👎🏻 too rich for my hard working blood 🩸

[@Rick-fz7tt]

Not worth the money.😊
