review :: Peak Design Everyday Sling 5L

When I'm out wandering with my camera I am usually very happy carrying camera and lenses on my back. My current favorite traveling camera bag is the Everyday Backpack 20L by Peak Design. It has room for camera and multiple lenses with additional space for things I want with me, clothing layers, snacks, sunscreen, water, and other odd assorted things too.

Sometimes I'd like to carry a smaller bag.

Out of curiosity I headed to the Peak Design web site to check their product line. The Everyday Sling 5L jumped out at me. The bag has a 5 liter capacity (as opposed to the 15-20 liter capacity of the Everyday Backpack 20L). My camera fits easily with any of my current lenses; depending on the lens attached to the camera I can slide a second lens into the bag as well. It can be carried as a sling or as a waist bag. It is made of the same weatherproof material as the Everyday Backpack so no worries about walking in the rain.

I've had my new bag long enough to test it out on several garden wanders. It's good to have carrying options, and I'm quite happy with the sling's usability.
