Although the buckle system may make an occasional subtle noise, I think this type of buckle is a better anti-threft protection system than any clips and magnetic systems.
I’ve had this for a week; mine (ordered thru Mukama if that matters) has the old style branding, not the white one you have. It also has 2 outside loops, not the single like yours - odd. Anyway, subjectively, I like this bigger one better than the smaller one. I keep minimal stuff in it and it wears “flat”, but like that I have room for more if needed. Zippers on this version are smoother than on the smaller version bag. Thanks for the review!
I don't know if you have them or not but you should really include a Nintendo Switch + an iPad mini in all of these videos. I dont personally carry around either but they are good items to show how much space is in the bag. Edit: I ended up buying this and it does indeed fit a Nintendo Switch.
I own the small sling bag version and I really love it ! I was also looking for a minimalist bigger version, but I really dislike this XL version : first I hate the brand sticker (too big, too bright), second I found the strap very unconvenient (jingly, flopping, unaesthetic buckle). A small padded version like the peek design daily 5 liters sling would be great. I wish the small version has also a three-part stretchy mesh pocket inside to handle a little multitool (gerber armbar, or swiss multitool for example). Thank you for the review !
Hey Fabrice, sorry for the confusion. You find the new version in black now on our website. I just send Tom the updated link so he can put it up here. We still have a few of the Castlerock Grey one with the two front loops though. Both are available at the moment but stay tuned for a big release this during the week!
@@moritzgrebe7894 Awesome! Can you share a rough ETA? I'm looking to buy a sling imminently. I might end up getting a different one if this doesn't come out very soon.
@@amardeeps1ngh Hey, sorry to say but it may take longer than expected... we ran out of black fabric so we had to pause this but at some point it will be available. Sorry for letting you wait. Cheers
Was just on there website I only see one hole on the bottom left corner. Is this version the black colour? Does the strap shorten quite a bit I like my sling tight on my back and as far up to my head as I can. You didn’t rate this as high as the AER city sling. Maybe I will go with the AER trying to decide
Oh and the mask looks great but unfortunately mystery ranch does not sell to Canada so just a note I would think you have some subs that don’t live in the great country of the USA
Great review! Let me ask myself two short questions: would an iPad Mini fit in the zipped inside pocket? And can (both sizes) Heimplanet Transit Line Sling Pocket be used as a waistpack? In the product photos, this is never the case ! Thanks !
My Sling bag (CURTLO Trekker) has a horizontal "elastic tube" right above the equivalent zíper compartment allowing any size of pen. Regarding the Buckle, I have replace the original one with a magnetic type (coming from a tactic belt - may be a solution for your issue). Love the videos of this Channel 🤙🏻 Congrats for the amazing job !!!
Can this be an alternative for moment fanny sling? Looking for alternative to fanny sling, something that I could put my compact camera in. Moment does not have a shop in Europe so tax plus shipping costs doubles the price ... Would you recommend any alternative?
I've been using this sling bag for almost a year and I feel kind of dissapointed. - The buckle system is poor. Sometimes it unbluckes by itself depending on the angle you grab it. - The fabric already started to breakdown. Not a big deal but I was definetly not expecting these flaws for a $90 sling bag.

Hey Evin, the front logo changed quite a bit. We made it a smaller and full reflective for the new version. It's not supposed to be removed but since it is the only "big" logo we still feel it's a rather minimal branding. We hope you understand that we, as a brand, also rely on some kind of identification in the items. I hope you don't dislike the front logo too much ✌
@@moritzgrebe7894 Unfortunately the newer, brighter logo will actually prevent me from buying and wearing Heimplanet. I'm a strict "no obvious branding" guy. The quality of the goods is usually its own attraction, prompting folks to ask where they can get it. A happy medium might be a toned down version that monochromatically blends in with the color of the bag (see Bellroy's black bag tags for example). I hope you'll consider is this in the future.
@@kissiejrmusic Thanks for the honesty. I think there is truth in both statements. I'm always in the "less is more" fraction but I get the argument for a visible branding too. I'll have it in my mind for upcoming projects. Cheers
@@moritzgrebe7894 Is the logo still a large and "white" tag on the current bags being produced? Can it be removed? This is the only thing preventing me from buying it and looking at something like the Aer slings with more subtle branding instead.
@@bladerealm124 Hi, I'm afraid the regular item has the same logo as before. BUT we are working on some special units with different logo - not for this year though. Sorry for not having good news just yet... hope you like it regardless. Cheers, Moritz
Looks like a great sling but those metal brackets are a no for me. The strap is so important to me I just can’t use a bag that doesn’t have that great of buckle the strap is what makes your experience with a sling so amazing. But nice bag
Hey, I would say it's a tight fit, but it fits. With 200x135mm + case it is similar to a DinA5 notebook which I feel is stretching the max hight over the back pattern but it closes and handles just fine. Best, Moritz
is this a commercial for how much mumbo jumbo covid-19 protection gear you should pack and wear and have available at all times or is it a review for a sling bag? you know you could put a little pack of antibac wipes in the passport compartment instead of the passport 😅

A back zipper pocket would have been nice to put wallet or a passport.

How liter size kapacity this bag??
Love your detailed video reviews!
Always put your glasses in the protective case or you going to scratch your glasses, it cost more than your bag to replace your glasses

Thanks for letting us know. Fabric issues are a deal breaker at this price point
Is there a sling just like this but a touch bigger? Like 3.5L? This is almost exactly what I'm looking for, but I need just a tiny bit more room.

That buckle thing is definitely the elephant in the room. Could probably work its way loose too when not under the tension of being worn.

@@PackHacker2 thank you very much! deciding between this and the aer city sling so every detail counts. nice review as always, keep it up!
Does anyone know how long the strap is when fully expanded? Looking into buying the sling, but the strap length is a big factor for me.
Hey Lauri, the max usable length of the strap is about 105cm/41". Cheers
