I’m a fellow bag junkie and I will tell you your reviews are - hands down - the most comprehensive, interesting, well polished, well thought out reviews I’ve seen on this platform. I’m a fan, and have every reason to believe you’re gonna blow up. Thank you, and keep em coming - because I’m binging all these right now!
Fidlock ruins this. They need to get rid of fidlock it just means anyone can steal your bag in a instant which is why i think sales have not been good for fidlock bags of late.
Another great review! I always wonder why your reviews looks so much better than others. Then I realized that you have a photographer working with you! Almost all other reviewers are lone wolves and used fixed cameras for their reviews. I have to say your camera man is first class and your presentation skills are second to none!
Really loving this review format. Also digging the conclusion where you say who it's for and who it isn't. It's thing saying that a product is good or bad, but it's extra helpful to say why that good or bad product is good or bad or certain people. Gonna check some more of your reviews, but I think this might be what I'm looking for to replace my Alpaka Air Sling v1 and to also act as a fanny.
Thanks for that Marcus! And yea, I think this will be a great replacement for the Alpaka. Let us know what you think of it after you’ve tested it out 🙏🏽
Saw it (here). Bought it. Enjoy using. Bout keys - agree. Thinking on how to modify it. Smth like adding DSPTCH keychain could work, but I wanna have smth permanent/stable. But, overall, it does what promises, except keys.
Just received mine after a long pre-order wait ! Very very happy with it, nice size (not too big) minimal, stylish and right amount or organization. Perfect sling IMO
Hey Aaron! I realize this video is 3 years old but I was wondering what your thoughts are on this bag vs the Peak Design Field Pouch. Both have some pretty slim profiles. Only caveat is the field pouch doesn't come with a strap by default.
Love your work here and always enjoy your vids, Aaron, but you left out a big issue with this little sling (or at least the one I received)...it doesn't have particularly strong magnets and it just doesn't stay securely closed. Everything else about it is really nice but I'm disappointed and can't use mine if I have to worry about it opening so easily. :(
great to hear from you Nathan and hope you have been well! I didn't notice this problem with my Active Sling personally, and I don't have it anymore unfortunately. Maybe they used different magnets from when I did this review a few years back?
It really looks like a Clutch, you need to be a real Manly-Man (like Aaron) to rock this sling. Still great review. And on a side note, I got the same Laptop charger!
Well I think Dayfare is my kind of look lol. I purchased the backpack from them and I love the sling as well. Thanks for the reviews! I loved how easy your channel made the search. I will use your link for both purchases. You earned the sub too!
I ride motorcycle. and I usually wear it as a back fanny. since there's no zipper, Will the magnet be strong enough to hold the pack together to not fly out?
ahhhh that's a close call. Can't say for sure, but I don't know if I'd risk it - zip might be a better idea. Check out the Aer City Sling 3 (launching in a few days)
I saw a fellow rider backpack reviewer. He doesn't recommend using it. So I decided to buy aer city sling and found one fortunately. Thanks for the tips! Also, how do you know sling city 3 is coming? I can't find any info on it
Here's a recommendation: outline your videos ahead of shooting so you don't repeat yourself (several times). When there's not much to say about a bag, don't say anything. Why bring up the lack of a waterproof zipper for a pocket that's *inside* the bag and protected by a flap? BTW, holding my stuff securely is important and this sling bag does not close with a zipper. It relies only on a flap over an open pocket (the bag itself). That's a deal-breaker for me.
Perfect sling for me. They are sold out but they accepted my order for February shipment. I am willing to wait. I live in Alaska and in the winter zippers cut my skin due to the dry weather. Magnet quick access perfect in the cold when wearing gloves. Zipper bags require taking my gloves off. I also like that this sling can be worn on either shoulder. Most of the time I am a pocket reliever but I have other bags when I carry tech. I am all about quality, simplicity and ease of access. This bag is clearly unisex in it materials and you are right, all slings can look effeminate by the way you wear them. Excellent product review, keep up the good work and kudos to your camera man. He makes you look good.

i bought this 1 hr after seeing this review, i've done it again, first the wandrd pack and now this and both from your channel lmao
Oops! Sorry not sorry 😉
This is great! Can you make a review about the Modern dayfarer 16L sling?
Coming soon!
What do you think about the bag’s security? As a think that is easy to open when you wear on your back.
Easy-ish. I would recommend wearing it in the front if you are concerned about security
Bought one right after this video. Performs 5 out of 5. As advertised, fully one hand and no eyes manageable.
Dude it’s so functional - probably the best ux for any sling I’ve tested
Thanks for the review!
Are you also going to review its bigger brother? (Modern Dayfarer Sling)
Thanks Tom! And yes, working on getting the big brother reviewed :)
Saw it (here). Bought it. Enjoy using.
Bout keys - agree. Thinking on how to modify it. Smth like adding DSPTCH keychain could work, but I wanna have smth permanent/stable.
But, overall, it does what promises, except keys.
Let me know if you end up modifying it, I’d love to see!
@@Nomads.Nation decided to add DSPTCH “belt key keything”. Probably the most non-invasive thing. Will see )))
Are there any non zipper alternatives? It seems this is the only non zipper sling I can find.
Great channel by the way 👌🏼
cheers! and no, this is the only non-zipper sling I've tested
Hell yeah, was wating for this.
Me too! Really amazing sling, I'm impressed
Just received mine after a long pre-order wait !
Very very happy with it, nice size (not too big) minimal, stylish and right amount or organization.
Perfect sling IMO
So glad to hear! I love this sling :)
Does it feel like a purse lol
@@keys299 a badass purse
@@Nomads.Nation lol true
Thanks for the video.
Just a heads up - nobody has a proper review of nomatic navigator backpack 15L ;)
Thanks so much Alex, and yes we are working very hard to get some Nomatic Navigator reviews up ASAP :)
Hey Aaron! I realize this video is 3 years old but I was wondering what your thoughts are on this bag vs the Peak Design Field Pouch. Both have some pretty slim profiles. Only caveat is the field pouch doesn't come with a strap by default.
I’ve actually never reviewed the PD Field Pouch so I can’t say for sure. Sorry!

Yeah I can see people saying, bro that's a purse!
😂 exactly, BUT it's still a badass sling
Great review. Love the product, but it's a little too pursey for my tastes. Appreciate the review. Thank you!
totally get that, cheers!
It really looks like a Clutch, you need to be a real Manly-Man (like Aaron) to rock this sling. Still great review.
And on a side note, I got the same Laptop charger!
😂 I've never been called 'a real Manly-Man' before and I freaking love you for being the first 😂
thanks broooo
Glad to help!!!!
I’m surprised you aren’t getting more views. One of the best and unbiased reviews for bags on yt. Keep it up my man
Thanks dude! We are on of the newer bag review channels but we are growing fast thanks to support like this
My only con is it doesn't have a back pocket
Great con! I love the back pockets on Aer slings :)
Just got mine today. Damn fidgety though. It's addicting playing with the bag.
dude you are so right, so many fun magnets, never a boring moment with the modern dayfarer active sling haha
I love that there's a well made sling that has some feminine flair, but i prefer the clasp closer to the front for security. AER it is!
Great point, can't EVER go wrong with Aer :)
Hi! Love your review!
Do you think this sling could hold a small paperback book?
Thanks!
I think so yes, but it depends on the book size. I’d recommend reaching out to Modern Dayfarer to double with with them 💪🏾
OMG I love this guys energy and charisma !
Thank you and I love avocados! 🥑
Build something like able carry with 1680d and vx21 material.
💪🏾
Do u come across any other sling that is similar in size to this one?
Check out the Aer City Sling 2. It’s a similar size and it’s amazing
@@Nomads.Nation I’ve checked that out.
Any other options?
@@Nomads.Nation Have u tried Heimplanet pocket sling?
@@azku I have not. Check out Alpaka - I’ve heard they make great slings
Well I think Dayfare is my kind of look lol. I purchased the backpack from them and I love the sling as well. Thanks for the reviews! I loved how easy your channel made the search. I will use your link for both purchases. You earned the sub too!
So glad to help my dude! And appreciate the support with the links and the sub 💪🏾
@@Nomads.Nation just order the sling last night. So hyped, the backpack should arrive Friday as well. Thank you!
@@KanyeWestLyricalGenius nice dude! Be sure to let us know what you think of them after testing for a few weeks

@@SM-dt3xo actually it is aer city sling 2 and just arrived recently. Go check ‘em out!
Hello. Can I put an iPad mini 6 inside this ?
Not sure don’t have one - reach out to MD, they’ll answer your q :)
Pursey Jackson
😂 call me lord of the bling
@@Nomads.Nation Should've said Jacksoff instead
Does this bag take an ipad mini or not
I don't have an iPad mini so can't say - I'd recommend reaching out to Modern Dayfarer directly, they'll get you sorted :)
