It’s not made for the extras, but ideal for the essential. My analogy for this sling, as compared to the others I have reviewed so far, is that if the others are a purse, this is a clutch. The one thing you won’t be carrying: water bottles. It’s for what you take with you, not anything else, and it’s made to be small and discrete. At first this felt limiting but as I started to use it more, it felt like the point of this sling. I could put more in it, but not much more. With my normal load out of gear I put in these slings, it is essentially full. It’s 12.5” long, while only expanding to 3.5” deep. This sling is a scant 2.4L and it sits long and flat against the back. I’ll also note my happiness that elastic loops have been included to keep the main strap tidy looking. The only material choice I really take issue with is the buckle. The strap is a nice and wide seatbelt nylon webbing, which a large plastic buckle which rides at the center of the clip. It is a departure from the normal bag materials for sure and it works really well here. It has a very heavy texture and nice heather gray looks. ![]() ![]() Basically it feels like a somewhat rougher canvas. The material on this bag is really neat, it is a 900D eco-dyed polyester exterior. Just the essentials.Īt first I was worried it would simply be too small to be of use to me, but the more I used it, the more I understood where its strengths are. The City Sling is a more compact sling from Aer, with he goal of being for quick trips around the city - not for collecting, or traveling. Note: this sling was provided by Aer for review at no cost.
