The Sling Pack

Canvas material too loud when moved around the body. Sling bag better suited for noisey outdoor events like fishing. Not geared for any quiet hunting. Maybe get to your spot, place bag on ground away from you, type of hunting.

Little square separate zipped pocket is a waste, unneeded, & useless. Very weak & flimsy sewing around the pocket onto the sling belt. No vision in the design within this area. Example fix 1, the use of molle webbing would at least give different pocket-type options to bag user. Example fix 2, placing a long/wide spandex webbing loops along the sling belt would allow other options to bag user.

Who ever designed this sling bag must be a tall person. Bag strap has limited shortening options for tighter fit around the body. All bag companies utilize plastic noisy strap snap buckles. With leftover strap webbing hanging out all over. Why not try to use a simple prong or rachet type buckle design with enough strap to tighten to body? Or, an adjustable hook and loop design would allow easy use and rid you of wasted extra strap flapping around.

Sling bags are designed to rest on the back but are not balanced, like a backpack. Obviously, two straps versus one strap design, hence sling bag. When bag is loaded with items, this allows the bag to slide down to the side of the body making it basically more like a purse look and feel. Also, with the bag always sliding down this may hamper arm activities as you are always pushing the bag back to the backside out of your way when not in use. Simple fix, add a small diagonal strap from the front body around the opposite side to the back connecting to the bag. This will balance the bag on the back while not in use.

The bag zipper pockets are a nice size with assorted pockets within. Maybe someone will actually start thinking about placing spandex webbing around the inside of the pockets to allow for vertical organization. Otherwise, the bag is good at placing items within and having to dig around to find your placed items. Not so easy and quiet with gloves on.

I have many packs from companies touting their bags are made for this, that, & best inclass. From AlpsOutdoorz, Tengzing, Trophyline, Game winner, Cabelas/redhead, Badlands & Sitka. No one has yet to design a bag that is no better than a five gallon bucket backpack or a 1970 vanity bathroom suitcase like fannypacks or slingtype packs. Back to the drawing board.

The pack was tagless, had a zipper pull missing, and looked used so I returned it to you and still don't believe I have seen the refund of approx $55? Please verify I will be getting that.

The other reviews about not enough adjustment of you are smaller is correct. Definitely going to have to make altercations to the pack. As a reference I wear a large T- shirt as well. Also I think it is odd that the smaller front compartment unzips from bottom up. Range finder is going to fall out if pack isn’t slide upward on body.

Nice pack, good comfort, doesn’t really move much when adjusted correctly. Easily organized to meet anyone’s needed. Works well in the woods turkey hunting, and will be using it for shorter sits in the saddle when bow hunting this fall. Only reason not a 5 star; if your really thin or a youth hunter; may not be able to adjust the sling small enough to tighten

Love it !
My only complaint is that there isn't enough adjustment to keep it snug up against my body.
Overall though it's great.
