I believe this could be one of my favorite slingbags this year.

FULL DISCLOSURE:
The review part of this video is not sponsored nor did I receive any money to review the item. While I sometimes get bags for free, I have to pay custom fees, shipping fees and all my videos have lots of production costs (e.g. software and music rights). Therefore I invest my own money into all of these videos and I have no intention to be biased towards a product or company. Every review and quicklook is written by me and no company can pay for preferential scheduling or what is said in the video. Furthermore, the company sees the video the same time as all viewers here on youtube. All opinions in this video are my own unless stated otherwise.
ETHICS STATEMENT
HOW I REVIEW:
As you might know from my „How I make a buying decision“ video: Rather than just looking at the pros, I like to evaluate the cons or flaws of an item and then evaluate if I can live with them. That is why in my video reviews I concentrate more on the cons of an item rather than going over all the features. Therefore everything shown is just a fraction of all the points that go into the verdict and score of an item.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A QUICKLOOK AND A REVIEW:
A Quicklook usually covers pre-production units or items that I only used for a short period of time. While Reviews cover final items that I have reviewed intensively.
AFFILIATE LINKS:
No matter if I like or dislike a product, I want to make it easy for you to check out the product yourself. Therefore I include a link of the productpage. If marked with a star *, that link is an affiliate link, meaning if you buy the product via the link you DO NOT pay more, but you will support the channel.

Love the gaff tape trick!
For me CHZ22 is new favorite pack.
Does a nintendo switch also fit in the back pocket?
Wish you had shown what it looks like strap side while worn.
Will it fit an ipad mini 6?
I really like the look of this sling. Especially the interior design. A dealbreaker for me though is that it will not fit my iPad Pro. I have my Pantagonia for that though, I need to start carrying around my camera. I do not need to carry my iPad on a walk.
Looks like a really good bag. Not too complicated and no bad fidlock.
Needs external attachment points (for keys, water bottles, towels, stabilizer straps, hand san, lights, etc). These can be done very discretely so as to not change the overall look of the bag, so to me the lack of attachment webbing or loops is just bad design.
For me, this was a massive step backwards considering the well thought-out design of the MHP. This just feels like they needed a smaller fanny pack so they quickly threw together a design and called it good.
Plastic buckle right in the middle of your chest, no strap keepers? Come on!
Stoked to see your review of this. I just bought it earlier this week (sorry I can’t use your link) and this has reassured me about my purchase. You’re the best, Bo.
Agreed about the buckle. To me, it's not boring but dependable and proven. Fidlock actually deters me from making a purchase. Love this sling so much.
Thanks Bo!
It’s pretty perfect but I wish the buckle was flatter or off to one side. I got one to wear during flights and found the buckle uncomfortable under a ruck or even sitting down on a hardback chair
Been sitting on the fence for a while on this one, esp. the slate grey to match my CAP2. Your review nudged me in favor of picking it up! Thanks, Bo for the consistently awesome content 🙂
Bei deinen Videos freue ich mich mittlerweile nicht nur auf den Inhalt sondern auch auf das Ende 😅. Sehr schön gemacht 👍👍
I don't think a 2L sling bag is worth $100, especially when they couldn't be bothered to include any strap management. I soured on Evergoods some time ago when I returned an item I was disappointed with. I explained where I thought the item fell short, and the person who responded got very defensive, basically saying I was wrong for my assessment of their product. I keep looking at their new releases, honestly hoping to find something I like, but I just think this company is overhyped. That being said, I'm glad this sling bag was something that worked for you. I always appreciate your reviews, and I think your points are cogent.
they should have made the see-through mesh grey, but leave the interior orange imo
my go-to sling bag for casual use is the Bellroy sling due to the zippers being hidden in exterior and clean look.
Other sling i own that i like is the Timbuk Catapult Sling which has a cross under shoulder harness (sorry don't know term for it) for more secure fit when doing more physical activities. Wish more modern slings have this feature
Hallo, wo hast du dir die Tasche gekauft? Direkt von Everygoods?
Very nice slingbag. There's even a new color "sage" that can be a nice choice. But I was surprised when you pointed that there's not any way to hide that strap, it can be a bit annoying. But the gaffer can be a good solution. I think, usually making a good sling is even more difficult than making a bagpack. Will stay tuned to this one. I like it.
Hi Bo! Can help to review Boundary Supply Rennen Sling as well. The CAS2 would be perfect for me as well but a bit pricey. Cheers!
How does this bag compare to the Heimplanet Transit sling?
