Peak Design 7L Outdoor Sling Bag Black

2025-07-27T20:00:00

I have the old sling. I also have a fanny pack I love. Got this on a whim, had buyers remorse right after. And now it's my favorite thing. It's so slim and compact but expands to hold so much. A full knee length rain jacket and umbrella and all the normal bag things. Love this.

I've been using the Peak Design 7L Outdoor Sling throughout my travels in Japan, and it's been incredibly convenient. It easily fits all my essentials-portable charger, toiletries, passport, portable fan, sunscreen, gimbal-with room to spare. Even fully packed, the bag sits flat against my back and never feels bulky or annoying to wear. One thing I saw mentioned in other reviews is that the buckle can come undone a little too easily. I've only had that happen once myself, but I do think an upgraded buckle or lock system would be a nice improvement. I also wish the magnetic pocket was a bit larger. Overall though, I'm really happy with it. It's compact, well-designed, and surprisingly spacious. Great travel companion.

Bought this sling to replace my V1 Everyday 5L sling. I got the XS cube to go with it. Despite not carrying as much as I thought it would, camera wise (really only a small mirrorless, like my a6000, and one additional smaller lense), the light weight material and comfort make up for it. I think 7L really only applies to the bag when it doesn't have the cube in it, so probably more like 5L with the cube. Just be aware of that. All in all, great sling for shorter hikes when you don't want to carry more, or use it as a chest bag with the outdoor bags (I keep my film camera and extra film there for easy access).

I have had the 6L everyday sling from PD for several years and it is mainly where my everyday camera gear resides (Nikon Z6ii and 2-3 lenses). It is what I take for any potential photography opportunities and I absolutely love it for that purpose. However the 6L Sling is rigid and I don't use it for anything except my camera gear. I received the 7L outdoor sling just before a 5 day trip to Chicago and it worked out great for non-photography purposes. This was a work trip and I didn't bring any camera gear. The 7L sling is very lightweight and not rigid like the 6L everyday sling. It was perfect for the plane ride for my carryon essentials, including my phone, wallet, ipad, headphones, portable charger, and some snacks. I was also able to cinch my light weight jacket to the bottom of the sling when it was not needed. I mainly wore it across my chest for added security when walking around the airport, taking the subway, and walking around the city which worked out well. It was a little bulkier than a small sling, but not too bad for all that it was carrying, and very comfortable to wear. I like that it would pack down smaller when not needing all the space but could still hold a lot if desired. I didn't get the XS camera cube, so I'm not planning on using it to carry my camera gear without wrapping it in something to give it padding. However, I like the non-padding which makes it more comfortable and versatile. I can see myself using this fairly often when I want a small-medium sized bag for everyday purposes. I'm definitely planning on taking it when I travel from now on. Thanks for another great product Peak Design!

Tons of space, pockets and comfy to wear. Sturdy material. Fits under your jacket or hoodie, i also wear it on the waist or cross body. Bought 2 for my friends' birthdays and they love them.

I got the black color 7 L sling bag. I owned a lot of slings bags but I like this one the most because its nice material and super lightweight! It's seems very durable too. I am thinking about getting another one..maybe a smaller one in different color. It's worth the price.

I wanted a bag that I could use for general EDC as well as one I can pack away for travel. This sling is perfect for that. It packs down flat and has plenty of organization where you need it. I also find it very comfortable to wear. I'm a hobbyist photographer, so my setup is light. I plan on getting the XS Camera Cube to pair with this.

The Outdoor Sling is the perfect complement to my Peak Design backpack and can even be easily attached to it. It's great. I use the bag and the backpack to transport my camera, so I'm prepared for any situation. The various small pockets are well-organized and well-designed. The additional securing strap is very useful, especially when cycling.

Great bag, been using it on the mountain with my A7RV+ Tamron 70-180mm. The only issue I have is trusting the clip, I understand why it's low profile, but out of an abundance of caution I used a zip tie to make sure the bag doesn't accidentally come undone while I'm on the mountain or chair lift.

Fits most of my needs and we're loyal to Peak Design, so I'm happy with it. I will say, in my opinion, it's is priced a bit high what it is, but it is well-made and has nice organization.

I bought the Outdoor Sling 7L + Camera Cube (X-Small) + Packing Cube Carry Strap thru the Kickstarter campaign back in Oct24. The Sling 7L is excellent but too big for my daily needs (I also bought the Sling 2L which is perfect for my needs). I haven't find the way of getting the benefits of the Sling 7L and Camera Cube, together. Nonetheless, their quality is superb

I've not had this long enough to use extensively yet, but from the few times I've taken it out I can say that it's comfortable, and easy to access what you need, when you need it. I use mine with the XS camera cube which just about fits my R5 & 24-105 lens in. First improvement, especially when using this as a camera sling - the clasp to release the strap seems very easy to engage - a simple push and it's open. This makes me nervous when out and about with expensive camera gear in the bag. Second improvement would be that when using this with a camera cube, to somehow make better use of the space, as the xs cube seems to reduce the space dramatically (considering it's a 7L bag). I know this is not a dedicated camera bag, but this multi-functional modular system seems to be a good way forward, it just needs a little more tuning to ensure space is used as effectively as say in the everyday bags.

This bag is great! The material feels really nice and durable, it is lightweight and adaptable to different uses very easily. I use an XS camera cube with my camera and can easily pull it out to use for other items. Being able to use it as a hip pack or cross body is nice, and the external straps mean I can carry anything I need!

.. is the perfect camera sling for me. I use also the 2l sling if I'm out without the camera or want to have a sling next to me with my backpack.

Got this to enhance my collection of day/lumbar packs. I wanted something lighter, smaller and definitely more fashionable/less bulky than my other packs (Mountainsmith, 5.11), without sacrificing versatility and capabilities; something within the 6-8L range that I could take with me while running errands or sightseeing in the city, where I could carry a few phone accessories (cables, charger, battery, mini-tripod) as well as a lightweight jacket and a packable tote (useful when shopping). I've been using it every week since I got it. The only time I move back to a larger lumbar pack is when I'm going out with the kids to the playground or to drive our bikes, as I can carry their stuff with me (water, food, extra clothing). I got my Outdoor Sling via the Kickstarter campaign. Peak Design has become one of those few companies I trust blindly - when they announce something I need, you can bet I'll get it from them.

I was part of the kickstarter for this line. The bag is great looking, but it's not a dedicated camera sling. You need the extra-small cube to go inside it. And the top to the cube makes it awkward to use, and you wind up with unusable space. I would have preferred a sling with dedicated camera lining.

Diese Tasche ist perfekt von der Größe und der Ausstattung. Man kann sie für jede Gelegenheit nutzen und sieht super aus. Das Einzige, was ich ändern würde ist der Verschluss am Gürtel. Kommt man versehentlich auf den Verschluss, öffnet er sich. So ist es mir schon passiert, dass die Tasche ungewollt herunter gefallen ist.

I bought this in the original kickstarter campaign and have been finding all sorts of uses for it since. From mountain biking, to walking around cities with all my supplies for the day (including a camera), to almost anything else I've thought of so far. It also packs down to almost no volume, so now I tend to throw it into my suitcase whenever I travel, just in case. The many pockets in the product make it easy to organise a bunch of different load outs, but also stay out of the way when you're not using them.

I absolutly love this bag. I was looking for a sling for quite some time but nothing really conviced me. Glad I waited. I'm a bit of an overorganizer in my bags and love that there a so many small pockets for my items. I love how the size adapts. When it needs to, it holds the water bottles for the kids, a box of snacks and my wallet - and their jackets strapped under. These straps are my favourite feature. And the extra pocket for the mobile phone. Since it is the pocket to my back, I noticed I can keep my phone on vibrate an still notice beeing called. It's the small things of this sling. Like the key chain in the front pocket or how you can hide the ends of the shoulder strap. I just love this bag.

I bought this to go inside my 45l outdoor line backpack. it's simply too small to fit my camera and standard zoom lens. haven't used it at all due to this fact

I have this outdoor sling and both x-small and small camera cubes. Only the x-small camera cube can fit in the sling. The only issue i have is I am using the full frame camera with a telephoto lenses. With the lens attached to the camera, my set up does not fit in the x-small cube. It would be 5* if there is any camera cube bigger than the x-small and it fit the sling.

I really like slings, especially on rainy days, and their portability.

It's lightweight and provides enough protection paired with a cube. The only learning curve was the buckle, which I opened accidentally a couple of times.

Used it on its own and also with the XS camera cube and it's perfect. Love the back slip pocket for my phone and the padded sling strap. With the strap on the full extended setting, the bag sits on my hip (I'm 5 ft 3) and my shoulder wasn't bothered by the weight off my Nikon z6ii and 24-70mm f/4 lens. And the Eclipse color is awesome. Highly recommend!

This product is a typical peakdesign. Very good made, high quality, stylisch and overall an amazing product. I use it several times a week as a small rucksack replacement. Only thing I would do differently next time is to order the rucksack aswell.

I have tries a number of small slings and have found this to be just the right fit. Adding the xxs photo cube has make it just perfect to take my Leica kit wherever I go. Small enough to be comfortable and large enough to carry what I need.

It's very light and has a nice design. You can carry it around without any problems in light rain.

I've been using mine for several months and it's been great! Overall I preferred the outdoor sling's layout to the everyday sling's layout.

Bought this around 3 months ago along with the camera cube. Very slick design with the just the right amount of pockets and storage. Was surprised at how much I could cram in to it! Very comfortable adjustable fit Only been exposed to light rain showers, but appears to be really waterproof

Color is great, organizational features and pockets are well thought out. Bag is adjustable in size so you can carry a little or a bunch of stuff. I have never had luck with smaller sling type bags because l like to carry quite a bit with me- planner, a pouch with random stuff (lens cleaner, nail clippers, etc), and whatever project I'm working on (art stuff or crochet). With this bag I can fit it all and most of the time I still have room to tuck away a small purchase as I'm out and about. The elastic cords on the outside have come in handy multiple times for my rain jacket or puffy jacket when you're out during shoulder season and never sure if you're gonna be hot or cold. Love this bag so much I bought two so I could give one to my best friend and she uses it all the time as well. Also appreciate the unique color. The outdoor gear world tends to lean in on really exaggerated gender colors- think coyote for men's gear and pastel purple for women. This color is so unique and truly unisex while not being boring. The fabric has held up well to pretty constant use and I am not careful with it. Strap is well thought out in width and amount of padding- comfortable without looking like a through hiking hip belt across your chest. Also appreciate the feel of the fabric- it slides well across all fabric for easy access back to front without sheen but also doesn't pick up any lint or dog hair. Stress points are sewn well, it's a daily use bag and has been since it arrived. If anything were to happen to it I would be ordering another right away, which I can't say for almost all the other bags I have tried.
