Worn differently

A sling sits diagonally across the chest or the back and can be swung round to the front without taking it off. That is the whole point: you get at your things without stopping, which is why slings suit travel and long days on foot.

Mostly nylon, and deliberately so

Slings are a functional shape, and nylon is the honest material for it — lighter, easier in weather, and it does not mind being pushed around. Leather slings exist here but the nylon ones are the ones we would take travelling.

Questions

How is a sling different from a crossbody?

A sling is worn tight across the chest or back and is designed to rotate around the body. A crossbody hangs at the hip. Slings sit closer and move less when you walk.

Are slings unisex?

The shapes are, largely. We size and describe them for the way our customers carry, but nothing about the construction is gendered.

Can I wear it on my back?

Yes, that is one of the intended positions. The strap length listed on the product page tells you whether it will reach comfortably.

Are they waterproof?

No, and we do not describe them that way. Nylon handles light rain better than leather, but none of these are waterproof and we will not claim a rating we have not tested.
