Which Sling Should YOU Choose | Everyday Carry

[@AdriDwitomo]

I'm rocking an Aer go sling 2 on my trip to tokyo and yes it definitely all the marks! Lightweight, Stealthy and fits all you essentials!

[@RonKwok]

Excellent Adri! I'm glad it's coming in clutch for you - enjoy your trip to tokyo and lemme know all the adventures when you return!

I carry the Bellroy Sling Lite and love it. There is plenty of room for my iPad mini, notebook, pen, phone, Topo designs accessory bag and charging cables. Love the magnetic clasp on the strap as well.

[@RonKwok]

That’s amazing. Don’t you love when magnets are implemented well? So satisfying 🙌🏼

[@pastoralrezowiecki4379]

Hello there. Is Aer Go Sling 2 comfortable to wear on the waist? Thank you.

[@brettcashmeredesigns688]

Congrats on 10k Subs man! Well deserved. I carry the AER City Sling 2 and love that thing. The organization is my favorite part. I will definitely have to check out some of these new ones. I am a sucker for a good bag.

[@RonKwok]

You and me both!! The City Sling 2 is chock full of features and I’m sure you’re getting so much use out of it. The Go Collection focuses on a more minimal and lightweight approach, the size limitation primarily forcing me to pack smarter. Cheers man and I’m here to answer any questions you might have 🤘🏼

[@brettcashmeredesigns688]

@@RonKwok awesome. I can see the benefits of the Go collection. I do tend to put more in the city sling 2 than I need. So a smaller and more lightweight material would be nice.

Hoping for an update on this review with the newer bags that are 1.5L and under. Almost everyone is including 2-4L packs which im starting to find to big for me. Would still like to see the Go Sling 2 and Mini Fanny Sling against the Alpaka Go Sling Nano and the Bellroy Venture Hip Pack (used as a sling) or the Bellroy Lite Belt Bag

[@RonKwok]

These are great suggestions man, I haven't gotten into Bellroy just yet but if the people want it, might have to happen 🙌

[@EverydayMinimalist]

Awesome video Ron!

[@RonKwok]

I appreciate it Brandon!! Always good to see you light up the comments 🌋

[@RonKwok]

Wow this is awesome, you’ve got your loadouts nailed down to a t! Love the mix of analog and tech gear, both integrated into your lifestyle concisely. The video thing is easy, you’ll get it for sure. Keep living with purpose👌🏼

[@jhk88rph]

4 choices but love the magnet closure! Great video Ron!

[@DEllisMusic]

Bought the moment mini based on that other video you did and I totally love it. I fly for a living so I keep it in my roller bag for outings where I don’t wanna load up my pockets. It takes up like zero space so it’s perfect to have in there at the ready.

[@RonKwok]

That’s awesome that you made the decision based on your daily needs. Keep living with purpose and fly safe man!

[@DEllisMusic]

@@RonKwok thanks brotha! 🤙

Nice content man I love your channel along with accessories me

[@RonKwok]

Thanks Stephen! Yea Vincent covers some awesome gear 👏🏼👏🏼

[@hhoebeke1]

Great overview, the Aer go sling is great, for me perfect size for a quick dash with essentials or use in company with the Aer go backpack… material is great with excellent water resistance…

[@RonKwok]

Loving my experience with the Go Sling 2 so far, it's a solid one!

[@Paul-to6iw]

Been using the Heimplanet Transit regular and got a Mystery Ranch Full Moon recently which I love for baby stuff carry. That Aer looks good - gonna check that out. Your videos are very easy to watch!

[@RonKwok]

I’ll have to check out those recommendations! I appreciate the support ✌️

[@Jay-ws7tv]

Osprey arcane hip pack but like to use as a sling

[@Oscarito_us]

I got the moment 1l per your recommendation and love it. I will say that my wife's lululemon 1 liter is a bit better because it includes a extra pocket in the back. I was very surprised with the Lululemon bag. Loving the moment 1L though and actually have a 2L evergoods sling also that i rock on longer days.

[@RonKwok]

Nice man! Yea I can imagine the back pocket would come in clutch. Lemme know how the 2L Evergoods treats you! Been meaning to check them out

[@Oscarito_us]

@@RonKwok will do! I have a few trips coming up that i want to take it on to see how it does

[@noflo31]

I carry the Chrome Industries Tensil Hip Pack. A little pricy ($120) but a lot of compartments. I also have a large sling also from Chrome called Kadet ($100). What are your thoughts on Chrome bags?

[@RonKwok]

Nice! Looks like you know what you like and have narrowed it down to a duo of packs that’ll work for you. I haven’t personally tested a Chrome bag, the airplane seatbelt clasp that’s signature to the Chrome Industries look isn’t for me. Looks solid though and I’m glad you’re getting mileage out of em!

[@jasonmanahan6188]

Very nice review Ron, personally ive tried my brother wandrd D1 fanny. And to me once u go magnetic clasp, cant see buckles the same way again... Only thing D1 is missing is xpac material. But my question to you is the straps on the mtw, can they be swapped??

[@RonKwok]

Glad you enjoyed the review! I haven't personally tried the WANDRD D1 but it looks dope, awesomely weather resistant, and you're right about magnetic clasps - once you use it, buckles just don't hit as hard haha. The MTW fanny slings cannot be swapped, they are sewn on. Hope that helps!

[@jasonmanahan6188]

@@RonKwok hope u get ur hands on one... Its on version 2 now, honestly the only downfall of sling is rubber coating flakes off, that being said idk if my bro left it under the sun at one point, but it did flake off on corners due to stretch and some abrasion, still an excellent bag though.

[@mytamle]

Are all these sling easy to open and close with one hand? I'm looking for something that I can wear while I'm catching the train to work and have a coffee in one hand.

[@RonKwok]

It’s a tricky question. They all have high quality zippers that can be smoothly operated, but the ease of opening with one hand is a mechanical issue-if you have a sling that’s packed and heavy, it’s more likely to stay put when you apply a force to it with one hand to open (without a second to keep the sling from shifting). With this logic, the larger slings like the MTW Fanny 2L would fit the bill. BUT, if you wanna go minimal and pack lighter, this point is moot anyway bc you won’t have a heavy loadout, regardless of how big the sling is. At that point it’s a matter of technique and juggling how to do stuff w one hand, which many of us have had to figure out one way or another lol Tldr; shop for a high quality sling that selects quality YKK zippers and suits your daily kit, and practice one-handed operation frequently 👌🏼

[@Cereal.Fidgeter]

Loved this video! Still figuring out what sub 2L sling to get, but I really needed this for the Moment MTW 1L and Aer Go Sling 2. I’ve had some tech pouches that convert into slings on my list as well, more specifically: Alpaka Utility Pouch, Alpaka Tech Case Mini, and the Wandrd Tech Bag in Small. I’d love to hear your opinions if you ever end up checking one of these out! In the mean time I also plan to check out the Mystery Ranch Forager Hip Mini at my local REI. Love the content, can’t wait to see more!

[@RonKwok]

Thanks awesome, I’m glad the vid helped narrow it down! Those are all good choices I’ll have to dive deeper into later on. I’ve had experience w the Alpaka Tech Case full size which converts to a sling also, but I’ve found that I prefer a woven in strap connection as opposed to a clip in. Thanks for your support and can’t wait to see what you decide on!

[@cmbunton]

When did people start calling fanny packs, "sling bags"?

[@RonKwok]

We needed a cooler name for it 😝
