Top 5 Best Sling Bag 2020
The sling bag has become one of the most popular styles for bags in recent years. The compact and lightweight design makes it effective for carrying daily essentials without the need to stuff your pockets or carry a larger pack. They have become the go-to bag for both daily use and travel for their convenience in keeping items organized and easily accessible. Not all sling bags are alike and we've narrowed down the best sling bags for 2020 in this highly competitive category.
The Bedouin Balian is an all-star sling bag (and offspring of our Carry Collab 5). It checks off all the requirements to stand out from the rest, from the innovative materials used to the luxury styling. Crafted in England, this is a modern take on the classic sling that features a few subtle and not so subtle details.
Code of Bell was the winner of this category last year with their X-Pod sling. This time around they have introduced a completely new style in the Annex Liner. This expandable sling case is inspired by the traditional Sacoche, but with more advanced materials and clever details that make their version unique.
When it comes to achievements in the bag community, Peak Design has cemented their status at the top. Always continuing to progress their designs forward, the Everyday Sling was part of their revamped Everyday Collection-making an already good bag even better with slight enhancements.
The Aer City Sling is extremely compact and durable. Constructed with water-resistant 1680D Cordura Ballistic Nylon, YKK zippers, and Duraflex plastic hardware, this sling can withstand the elements and practically any abuse that comes its way. Its portability shines weighing less than one pound and it's only 12.5 inches by 4.5 inches.
Chicago-based DEFY continues to produce practically indestructible bags with a tactical feel. The Insidious Jr. Sling, not to be confused with its big brother the Insidious Sling, is no exception as they have taken their handcrafted and Made in the USA approach to their latest offering.
Overall, this is a great selection for anyone looking for just enough storage for their larger daily gear, who wants a solidly built bag that will last for years to come, and desires a minimalist bag with a tactical feel.
