What’s in your sling bag?

[@Medsas]

bellroy large blue! havent worn it in 1 month though...

[@marianthelibrarian2274]

Aer Day Sling 2....but then I saw PH's Quick Hit on the Chrome Industries Kadet 😀 and I had to have it.

[@batdude811]

While the Covid-19 pandemic, I have had to add ; Protective gloves Disposable masks Sanitizer Tape measure (for social distancing) Cling film (carried separately) cover objects that others will handle and you remove and dispose of when finished. Cover again for future handling.

[@junkabella6324]

Keys, phone, slim wallet, lip balm, AirPods, hand strength trainer, memo pad, Leatherman multitool, moisturizer, mini torch, hair ties, snacks, charging cable and often some dog treats :)

[@hassanjamal6094]

@@junkabella6324 wow your bag would be valued a fortune if someone were to steal it! Careful!

[@letsgowalk]

Love my Arc’teryx Maka/Mantis 2! It fits a surprising amount of stuff.

[@nathangriff6862]

Thank you for another excellent review, Nathan. You've got some cool gear and I appreciate your positive attitude so much. That seems to be a hard thing to keep up nowadays and I found this sling bag vid uplifting in a way. I know that sounds a bit odd but it had that impact on me so thank you!

[@PackHacker]

Thanks Nathan! It doesn't sound odd at all, I know exactly what you're talking about. I had a ton of fun putting this video together and I'm actually really happy with my sling loadout overall, it'll be interesting to see how it progresses over time too. Glad you enjoyed the video, all the best and hope you're keeping well, Nathan.

[@rebeccaw9656]

Nice! And I love that you keep your personal carry items minimal.

[@laralouise6101]

Thanks to you guys, i found the perfect travel backpack ( Aer Travel Pack 2 ) and the perfect sling ( Aer Day Sling 2 ) and other gear for traveling....... even if im not traveling that much😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@PackHacker]

Woohoo! It feels so good when you finally get your hands on that perfect pack (& sling). Looking forward to hearing how you get on with these! 😊🙌 - Rebecca

[@jmatt1122]

Warby Parker makes a cool collapsible eyeglass case.

[@nightfox2607]

I did think "why this guy has got so many tiles" 😂

[@dennisborg7751]

That is en-tile-ly his right to have them! 🤪

[@martinsw4711]

I have a larger hard glasses case, and my sunglasses are thin so I can fit both my regular glasses and my sunglesses in one thing. Great for travel when i don’t have a safe place to put them at night

[@venom5809]

Hmm, I am actually looking for a sling/fanny pack right now, need something for when I walk my dog that can carry water for him, poopy bags and treats and my camera. I have the same black case for my AirPods Pro but stopped using it, I like the look and sleek feel of them without the silicone case.

[@jamesmaitland4614]

Good set up, purchased the heim planet sling after your review, fantastic sling, still haven’t had the chance to deck it out yet... thanks for the ideas 💡

[@dennisborg7751]

You should include a microfiber cloth in your sunglasses case, which can be used to clean your glasses and phone screen.

[@Medsas]

if 2019 was the year of slingbag, 2020 is the year of no bag 😂

[@stefpix]

Medsas I was going to write the same.

[@neilattuk]

……also gives you a sweaty bag. Haven’t found one yet that doesn’t. I use the Tom Bihn Co-pilot and keep coming back to it. I use a small padded case for my compact camera and I know where everything is as there is so much storage pockets. Get the Tom Bihn advanced strap and it does carry everything comfortably.

[@vasko3660]

You should take a look at the upcoming german start up AEVOR, they produce great backpacks and slingbags! Bought one some time ago and would love some reviews by you guys about the other products they have...

[@Lizzard2060]

Lens cleaning wipes of some kind. Whether throw away or reusable tuck away for the glasses to the phone those come in handy as your hands touch it and it gets dusty and I always find dust, dirt, grime, and my kids fingerprints on everything with whatever snack they just had.

[@PackHacker]

Great shout, Elizabeth! Thanks for dropping this tip here, lens wipes can come in super handy. - Rebecca

[@gtamediaproductions1]

Ok I have a sling bag on it's way. I just ordered an Genuine Italian leather one from Amazon. I got to work on a man bun now so I suit the sling bag trend. Lol

[@PackHacker]

Slings and man buns go together like peanut butter and jelly! 😉

[@maysdogus]

Great video Nathan. I've got that sling as well. I used it basically inside my backpack for a trip and then stowed my pack and had that with me under my seat for the flights. It worked really well, however I'm not sure how much I'll use it anymore since I much prefer over-the-ear headphones on flights. I'm gonna try out a TB medium cafe bag instead. Also, I really love a bunch of HumanGear products, not only for travel but also for backpacking. I use the small GoTubbs for Advil liquigel minis (sore back, haha), the GoToob for Dr Bronners soap (don't forget to clean it out periodically, it hardens up), and then the GoBites are amazing for a spork that packs small and gets large.

[@MichaelWebber]

The Timbuk2 Classic Messenger in XS is small enough to fit in with some of your larger sling recommendations. However I prefer a sling, worn as hip pack, for boarding a flight (I can't convert a messenger into a hip pack, but I _can_ convert a hip pack to a sling). A hip pack isn't counted against my bag count when boarding.

[@s0000]

Going to pick up that QuikStand off your affiliate link. I've used phone mounts in the past on airplanes, but this is even more low profile than that. Thankful for your content even in this COVID-19 period we're going through.

[@thehikingcommunity4806]

Can I fit a mirrorless cam with a small lens?

[@Ivanmaradonaaa]

Dude I actually love your clear sunglasses case

[@leejohn6055]

love maka2

[@ezahamm]

Have you tried Mammut round 4L ?

[@Zbakenmcak]

Can you review the kapital snufkin sling bag

[@PackHacker]

I'll pass your suggestion along to our editor! - Tom

[@gmt5664]

Does your tile work well? I got them years ago but they didn't work well. I could be standing right over the tile to test it and it wouldn't ping. When I lost things, the tile didn't help at all. But that was years ago.

[@yukonajr]

Hi there, any idea if it will fit a 500ml bottle?

[@Sincato]

Does the larger iPhone fit into the pocket as well?

[@franciscofuentes8916]

I was wondering just that as he mentioned the max size because the other iphone seemed to fit tight

[@stefpix]

What about the Uniqlo sling? It has ykk zippers and just $15 or 20

[@batdude811]

Could include a packet of tissues, wetwipes, mini torch or flashlight, USB pen drive, a protein bar, condoms, a pocket knife (if legal), a pen (and small notebook if room available). Paracetamols ( small supply of medication if required and room available)

[@knulerabc]

Whats the best sling for carrying an Ipad?

[@67celticghirl]

Roar Wiik what size is ur iPad ?

[@stilllookingfortreasure]

For came for the sling bag, stayed for the perfectly groomed eyebrows.

[@PackHacker]

Why thank you 😃

[@alexandermartinez2338]

Wait this was recorded using an iphone?

[@allan4128]

A pen and a small notebook or notepad

[@j.r.mcgillicutty4282]

Take a shot whenever he says "pop."

[@DrDennis]

Nice bag but strap is too narrow.

[@Medsas]

Oh wow the Maka 2 is only 60 cad... I was expecting 100+ given the brand name

[@tubeman25]

when i was a kid my mom put my lunch milk money in a film roll plastic container with lid

[@PackHacker]

Not a bad idea 😃

[@juliohernandez9372]

Love pack hacker but I will go to my grave insisting that wearing slings on the front is impractical and goofy looking.

[@PackHacker]

Hah - no problem Julio 🙂 - we've found the "practicality" of wearing a sling in the front comes into play when 1) accessing gear without taking the sling off and 2) wearing a sling in the front with a larger & slower-to-access travel bag on our backs. Of course, YMMV! - Tom

[@jayou1987]

You shoulda got the adidas utility bag. I have it. Its better than yours. 😭😭

[@phreak81]

Sling bags look sooo dorky,

[@pitdogluna7636]

Nope that’s a purse👎
