Only a waist pack, simply because fanny packs just don't look right when worn as a sling. it's like you took a fanny pack, and now you're wearing it as a sling because you're too embarrassed to wear it as a fanny pack.

Spot on with this review! I was in the market for a sling and I was torn between this one and the the swift industries Slika, I went with swift because of the internal organization, you should check it out!
I'm glad I bought mine months ago. I got the old design which I like much more than this one. I also like the old material. I got caught in a few rain storm in Disney a few times and it held up perfectly. I also like the size and shape and it will age beautifully. Ok I'll stop now lol guess my point of not liking this one much has been well made hahaha. Thanks for another great video.
Hey Darryl - you can find out more about our rating system and how we rate the products here packhacker.com/about/rating-system/ - let us know if you have any more questions! 😊 - Rebecca
In the US it's called a Fanny Pack. In Australia we call them Bum Bags. However I hope to one day live in a world where they are universally known as Booty Satchels.
Hey Poppins Purses - depending on the size of your sunglasses case and the pouch, it sounds like the Aer Day Sling packhacker.com/travel-gear/aer/city-sling/ will be a good option due to the shape of the sling being more rectangular for your pouch. However, we were still able to hold a solid sunglasses case in the Trakke Banana Crossbody Bag packhacker.com/travel-gear/trakke/banana-crossbody-bag/ which you can check out in our usage images in the full written review. Hope this helps! - Rebecca

Hey RWw - from testing, we found that it was on the smaller side for Nathan, but it still worked well. It was a much better size for myself (Rebecca). Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us! 😊👍 - Rebecca
I want to vomit every time you use the top camera. Too bad considering it's the best way to show things live. Please, consider putting it on the side, or upside down (to see as you do...)
Would you wear this as a sling or a waist pack? Or not at all?
Not really good if you carry a camera so a no for me. How about a 5L-10L bag review that has multiple uses for camera, travel, and edc gear.

I actually like the 5+ liter oblong shaped ones better, because they don't remind me of the old school fanny pack😊
waist pack

question for a girl - to carry wallet, hard sunglass case and phone and another pouch, would you recommend this or the Aer Day sling 2?
Hey Poppins Purses - depending on the size of your sunglasses case and the pouch, it sounds like the Aer Day Sling packhacker.com/travel-gear/aer/city-sling/ will be a good option due to the shape of the sling being more rectangular for your pouch.

Looks too small for Nathan.
Hey RWw - from testing, we found that it was on the smaller side for Nathan, but it still worked well. It was a much better size for myself (Rebecca). Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us! 😊👍

Pack Hacker Yes, it looked like a much better fit on you.
I'm around Nathan's size and I just bought this hahaha

O
Still a fanny pack. LOL
