I just bought this sling about 2 weeks ago and plan to use it in Germany. I noticed today however they’ve released a new version of the bag that has different clips so I wonder if that’s any better. I really hope I don’t have any issues with the bag cause it was a big purchase for me
Hmm yeah I saw it on their Japanese site as it was up already there a week or so ago. I have a code of bell xpod that uses that buckle and I do like it. I do still believe the placement is an issue especially if you wear the sling on your back. But this buckle unlatches vertically versus horizontally so maybe it could help. The fact that they changed the buckle shows that they do respond to feedback but it doesn't help that people are out $$$. I'd say just don't wear it on your back like I did. I'm currently testing out their pro sling and going to make a video about it soon.
@@OJAYSAN I think I will likely have it on my front side however as you said they clearly advertised the sling to be worn on the front and back. Just a bit unfortunate as I doubt they’ll do anything about it for people having issues
Great long term review. You mentioned you own the city sling and previous gen day sling. The reason why i didn't buy the day sling 3 is because of the buckle and also the strap which i read from other users that it feels a bit rough compared to the smooth seatbelt like texture of the city sling and previous gen day sling. The rougher texture olf the day sling 3 can cause wear marks on shirts. Did you experience this during your long term use case? Thank you.
Yeah I emailed them about the strap texture and seems like they skimped on the coating. They said it was the same strap material lol. I didn't notice any marks on my shirt but at the same time I wasn't looking for anything like that
Buckle are afwul. I am photographer, i dont put camera in this sling never.Now,for edc i just taped the lock and ordered duty keepers. Really bad choise for lock. No safety at all. Its just unlocked, when i put sling on a bulky jacket.
I put tape on the buckle as soon as I got mine, and added a carabiner to the pulltab, the texture is too rough, it makes it slippery

What are the alternative slings you can recommend over the Day Sling 3?
Great question, I'm searching for that myself. Definitely planning on making a video once I found a true replacement
Day Sling 3 Ultra!
