4 Minimal Slings Perfect for EDC

If you don’t need to carry a lot, you don’t need a big bag. Sling bags are a great option when more compact carry is called for. And if you really want to pare things back, these minimal slings are perfect for EDC…

Farer Design Dayfarer Sling (~US$85)

The Dayfarer Sling provides a well-considered balance of simplicity, versatility and durability. The clean design offers a useful range of pockets without becoming cluttered, while the sleek aesthetics look equally good in work and play environments. The tough and weatherproof build features PU-coated 1680D Ballistic Nylon, with multiple carry options letting you adapt on the go. Magnetic Fidlock buckles on the strap and flap make it easy and quick to adjust the bag’s position and access your gear. And at this price tag, it’s great value for money too.

If urban-savvy street style, versatile portability and good organization are top of your carry checklist, consider the Incase Sling Pack. It’s made with eye-catching and water-resistant 70D Diamond Wire rip-stop nylon and can be worn over the shoulder or as a waist bag. Multiple pockets are on hand to organize items, including dedicated storage for up to a 13″ laptop or tablet and a quick-access concealed pocket on the strap.
