The Dayfarer Sling actually has a hidden zippered pocket infront of the main compartment. Have been using this sling for months now and it's my absolute favorite sling of all times.
Hey Chase. I’m all about Trakke man. I have both the Banana Sling and the Kelso and use them frequently. For me, that dry waxed canvas vibe is on point.
AS a first time watcher I will say you have definitely lived up to the hype I've heard and well deserved. I'm definitely not a murse guy, messenger or big sling is as much as I can do but a couple of these did interest me. Great video!
The Trakke Kelso is awesome. I used it for a month before my other half stole it from me. The organisation inside is excellent in use, it carries just enough, is comfortable to carry and the materials... Trakke’s materials are just the best!
I don't use slings or waist bags too much but I have a few. The one I have packed to grab and go is the 5.11 LV6 sling. Feels good to wear but does not have the clips on the strap to easily switch it to a waist pack. So then I bought the Helikon Tex Bandicoot and the smaller Vanquest Dendrite. I have used the Dendrite and like it as a waist bag or a chest sling but the 5.11 still feels better as a back sling, due to the adjustment positioning of the straps and the the stabilizing strap that comes with it.
I, like most addicts, have one too many fanny/slings. But I always find myself going for the original Trakke (cause of your video of course) It is the perfect size for my needs. It has even been throughout Europe with me and it’s my weekend driver. I was thrilled I got it when I did because I think it’s leaps and bounds better than the new one.
Got the Bellroy and Waterfield. Bellroy is my everyday man purse. In S.C., I get a lot of weird looks, so I just tell dudes it’s where I keep my pistol. Waterfield has all my tech gear in it.
Arclite by boundary is so prefect for me for everyday! Diabetics and asthma I carry meds laptop iPad with ease, not to mention a light jacket and change of clothes at time!
Thanks for your though review. Because I have a lengthy commute I’m going to go with the Chrome sling for my tech and tactical carry needs. I was torn between the Alpaka Bravo X and the Chrome Kadet. This made it easier to decide. Cheers mate!
Lmoa = Diggin all the euro accents to punctuate that “exacting temperament” -love that we get to see you wriggle it around while you actually handle it as if your using it + buckle and unbuckle it -gives us a better feel for what its like to actually interact with it -
Great video, love the dog (Border Collies are cool) she should co-star the show with you :) ... also a "bags for go out with your dogs" would be great.
Seing all these really makes me want to downsize on my next ipad to be able to swap bags more often! I know you don’t review many “tacticool” bags but I’d absolutely love to see you review the Helikon Tex elevation backpack! It sadly does not yet have any english reviews on youtube!
Aer city sling would be good to stitch in with day sling 2. The city sling was a surprising winner for me, due to its great size for essentials and simple yet effective organization. The bellroy sling by comparison doesn't have "simple organization" so much as it has almost no organization, and the awkward slit opening makes pouches etc inconvenient as a BYO organization solution
More about the Trakke banana, please. They added pockets, yes? Do they work well (heard they had no stretch?)? Does the thin strap rub/bother your neck? Looking at the Trakke Bairn, too....(bless you for being my Xanax after standing in line for three hours to vote).
The version I have is the first 2.0 version, they may have updated. Stiff pockets highly likely. It's the main compartment that's easy-ish to get into with visibility. Thin strap doesn't rub me wrong, you get good at the buckle. (my pleasure! thanks for watching 🖖)
OMG OMG I was literally just looking at slings and BAM, your video appears to bless me with information to make a better decision. #chaseforthewin #realMVP
Pacsafe makes a few decent options, ever tried?. Secure for sure. I currently use the Aer city sling. Small, perfect for items and organization, but the strap and buckle are a bit large. I assume to keep the pack from flipping over while wearing.
I would love that Aer sling more than all others if it weren't for the super sticky front zipper. I know water resistance is good but . . . I wish they'd make one without that sealed zipper. It's a struggle.
I use the Alpaka Sling XL for the iPad 11”. It actually fits my 13” Macbook Pro, too, if I don’t have too much other stuff in there :) For camera stuff, I use the Peak Design Sling 10L :)
you prolly dont give a damn but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot the password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me.
@Emmitt Sutton I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
For the Slimfold Sling pack, I've backed it, but would like to see more about it. It was great how you went in depth with the last Nomadic campaign while it was still going on. Also, thanks for the videos because their just great! I got my Nomadic Navigator stuff this week and said this place is for the business papers hahaha 😆
Hey could you recommend a sling that's more cross body like how the bellroy city pouch plus hangs? The bellroy plus material collects so much flint so I wanted another company with different materials
The aer daysling 2 is like so perfect for what I need but the one with the orange interior that I really want is out of stock and the normal one is a lot cheaper like $20 cheaper but it has this bland grey interior which I know is such a minor thing to be bummed about but like shit man. also the one with the boring grey interior is made out of ballistic nylon instead of the Xpack and idk I would like that more or less tbh. does anyone own either of these?
That Alpaka strap really intrigues me! Why aren’t other companies also doing something premium with their straps? Nylon straps are typically so uncomfortable even when lightly weighted. And to me they also look cheap.
Oh my god... Every Day Carry?? EDC? This whole time I thought people were reviewing these bags in relation to the rave edc 😭 I was like damn, there is a lot of crossover between the electronic music community and slings and fanny packs!
Chase, have you ever tried or seen a Code of Bell X-Pod or X-Pac? I have the X-Pod and loving it as a daily sling. Fairly tactical, with some great use pockets.
@@chasereeves i've been using 10L V1 sling since it lauched, i had a zipper break recently and they sent me the V2 with no addition cost because of the lifetime warranty, the V1 was great, the V2 is even better.
I’ve got my eye on the 6L right now, probably in midnight blue! I’m not a camera person, but I appreciate so many of their design details, and I like that I’ll be able to fit my 11” iPad Pro + Magic Keyboard in there (at least, I think so from the measurements… I should probably find out for sure). Glad to hear their aftersales support is so good! I think I probably need to sit down and really figure out my requirements… I’m starting to think what I need is a minimum of two new bags! One big enough to take my iPad and a bottle of water as well as everything else, and another small one for quick access to basic essentials (as a woman whose clothing is typically devoid of useful pockets). Some days I might need to carry more stuff and therefore take a backpack (which can do iPad and water bottle holding duties), and I think trying to carry both a backpack and the 6L sling is going to be cumbersome and annoying. Having to switch out between bags instead of having the One True Bag also seems annoying though, and guaranteed to result in not having all of the right things with me… this whole EDC thing is more complicated than it seems like it should be! (Thanks for the opportunity to think out loud here 🙂)

God your channel is binge worthy :)
Love, love your reviews.
It's as if Zoey Daschanel and Brüno got together, and birthed a RUclips bag-review channel.
literally perfect timing for this video, couldn't decide on a day sling!
I love that you presented everything to your average Jim bob guy. You didn't church it up or over sophisticate it like other videos.
I love sitting back and watching a chase video. Always entertaining

I totally love my Dayfarer Active Sling! Great customer service! ❤️
Came for the glorious bag reviews, stayed for the adorable pupper. Chase always bringing us the best things in life.

How many of you first check how long is the video before watching ? No complaints, i have enjoyed every video, long or short its always informative.
I saw those metromongers before (probably your channel) I LOVE LOVE LOVE them. Just the right amount of technical and tacticool that I like.
I, like most addicts, have one too many fanny/slings. But I always find myself going for the original Trakke (cause of your video of course) It is the perfect size for my needs. It has even been throughout Europe with me and it’s my weekend driver. I was thrilled I got it when I did because I think it’s leaps and bounds better than the new one.
You did such a great job showing off tons of slings and I still can’t make a damn decision.
Got the Bellroy and Waterfield. Bellroy is my everyday man purse. In S.C., I get a lot of weird looks, so I just tell dudes it’s where I keep my pistol. Waterfield has all my tech gear in it.
Arclite by boundary is so prefect for me for everyday! Diabetics and asthma I carry meds laptop iPad with ease, not to mention a light jacket and change of clothes at time!
I went down this rabbit hole... it started with the Vertex Tourist sling to Nomatic 1L and now I’m waiting on a Alpaka slings bravo and atom.
Solid list. Didn't see the Aer City Sling on that list, would this sling get a thumbs up?
Yes! Decided I need a sling and the man releases this video hours ago! It’s like you knew!
Thanks for your though review. Because I have a lengthy commute I’m going to go with the Chrome sling for my tech and tactical carry needs. I was torn between the Alpaka Bravo X and the Chrome Kadet. This made it easier to decide. Cheers mate!
Hey Revan… curious as to which one you went with and how your mileage has been? I’m making that exact decision now 😉
Love I love your channel I love large Fannypacks, and a very hard to get. What’s the best when I can get for myself.
Lmoa = Diggin all the euro accents to punctuate that “exacting temperament” -love that we get to see you wriggle it around while you actually handle it as if your using it + buckle and unbuckle it -gives us a better feel for what its like to actually interact with it -

Great video, love the dog (Border Collies are cool) she should co-star the show with you :) ... also a "bags for go out with your dogs" would be great.
Thank you for the excellent video Chase!
I LOVE MY $5, 2L OZARK TRAIL HIP PACK, HAS PLENTY OF ROOM FOR ALL MY STUFF AND THEN SOME :)
Seing all these really makes me want to downsize on my next ipad to be able to swap bags more often!

Recommend Mystery Ranch Fanny.
I bounce between my Patagonia 1L, and another slightly bigger, I think 1.5L, mystery ranch Fanny.

Just bought the Instinct Pro Camera Sling Bag! It is amazingly good!
Love the Alpaka Atom X Sling & Bravo X Sling. My daily carry.
Is the Bravo X Sling too big to carry everywhere, like when shopping at the grocery store for example?
Mr Green it’s not too big. But really depends on what you carry. I tend to use the bravo sling mini nowadays.
Great job chase!!
Thinking about the channel route. You making good money?
Pacsafe makes a few decent options, ever tried?. Secure for sure. I currently use the Aer city sling. Small, perfect for items and organization, but the strap and buckle are a bit large. I assume to keep the pack from flipping over while wearing.

@Emmitt Sutton it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my account :D
@Kylen Kason glad I could help :)
How was your experience ordering from greenroom136? Really interested in one of the metro bags, just a bit hesitant.
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻
If you review slings again have you tried any Tomtoc EDC bags?
For the Slimfold Sling pack, I've backed it, but would like to see more about it. It was great how you went in depth with the last Nomadic campaign while it was still going on.

0:31 never felt som called out before xD
That fluffy doggy though
I have an eagle creek Wayfinder waistpack that goes with my Wayfinder mini backpack that I love

Fanny pack, haha.
I have used one for over 40 yrs.
Bellroy flight pack review required, you always forget about us (miserable suit wearing dudes ) common man keep it up!
Love that crew. One of my best friends is in that camp. I got such little experience with it, personally.
Will the Alpaka or any other of the slings fit an ipad pro 12.9? Thanks in advance!
That Gravel sling is straight up a giant Costanza wallet that you can wear
When the smart kid does the homework for the whole class.
Trakke have made a lunch bag. It’s so nice and cheap ! You should check it out
Need 12 step intervention for SBA - Sling Bag Addiction:))
I love how you didnbt notice the hidden zipper pocket on the active sling. Its just hidden too well
Great video
self-soothing on election night eve by watching a video on 30 slings even though i'll never buy a sling
I’ve been using my Kelso for a month , perfect for edc without tech !
I don’t even want a sling bag....still watched the video!
Damn! I was hoping you'd go into more detail about the Black Ember TKS
Hi Chase! We want reviews of the Code of Bell products!! 🧐😄
Chase, I don’t see the local hardware bag page or any bags, what happened to them!!
Which of the big slings will fit a Dell XPS 13? It's about the size of a 13" Macbook Pro?
21:03 well, no ones buying that one 😂😂
Love greenroom136 and chrome. No love for code of bell?
Don’t have that one :(
The aer daysling 2 is like so perfect for what I need but the one with the orange interior that I really want is out of stock and the normal one is a lot cheaper like $20 cheaper but it has this bland grey interior which I know is such a minor thing to be bummed about but like shit man. also the one with the boring grey interior is made out of ballistic nylon instead of the Xpack and idk I would like that more or less tbh. does anyone own either of these?
I already have an Aer City Sling that I hardly use, but I can't not watch your videos. lol

Oh my god... Every Day Carry?? EDC? This whole time I thought people were reviewing these bags in relation to the rave edc 😭 I was like damn, there is a lot of crossover between the electronic music community and slings and fanny packs!
Greetings. Can you do a video on the best sling bags for women
What are are you wearing?
how about arcteryx quiver crossbody bag?
Love the little 🧜♀️ thing
Dog be chillin'
I hope I get to meet Chase one day
Where's the Code Of Bell stuff!? Btw, great vid as always!!!
Tracksuit and a sling bag are the drug dealer starter kit where I live
Yo Chase! What hat is that?
Not just for the boys' Chase.....!!
I know, I almost edited that out, but left it in because, statistically, lots of boys here.
@@chasereeves well this girl thinks you are a legend, I don't buy a bag without you, and I buy lots of bags...lol
My Trakke Kelso sling just arrived, as you said, it is awesome, love it already, this company is awesome
Hey Chase, bag name for the bag between trakke and dakine wasn’t shown on the video, thanks!
thanks! fixed now, above at 4:00
Hey Chase I’m looking for a sling bag for work. I see you have a lot of them. Are you interested in donating one?
Please review DEFY slings
nomatic 6L sling didn't make the list?
Surprised I didn’t see the Timbuk2 sling in here
Chase, have you ever tried or seen a Code of Bell X-Pod or X-Pac? I have the X-Pod and loving it as a daily sling. Fairly tactical, with some great use pockets.
What hat is that Chase!?
Attacking me again about the emotional availability.
5.11 LV6 is my choice.
you have nice hair man
why do you remind me of micah bell somehow?
“I feel weird” lol
why not yr dog wearing one as well ,,,,like it,,,,goooooooooooood
They are still fannypacks to me.
In my language we call those bags "kidney"
3:43 giant banana. 🙂
you did a whole 34 minutes about slings and didn't talk about peak designs v1 and v2 slings?
Didn’t have em with me :(

Damn @ 21:24 the Alpaka Sling magnet buckle just died... Bad look for the company's product 😭 but maybe it was a fluke
It would be cool if Chase gave us a reply from Alpaka on the situation; allowing them to speak up on possible user error or whatever.
There are definetly some Brits out there losing their shit at your use of "fanny" and "fannies"
No mention of Defy Insidious????
Never got that one :(
