Osprey Europe Unisex Daylite Sling

Product Information

The main thing to talk about with the update is how nice it is to switch sides with the strap. Maybe you prefer to carry your sling on your left shoulder, or you just need a break on one side after carrying it for hours through the Toledo Zoo. We find it comfortable on long walks to the library, even with a heavy book inside, and if it gets uncomfortable on long excursions, you now have the option to shift it between your shoulders instead of the right side always bearing the brunt of the weight. Osprey Daylite Sling | The strap can switch sides so you can carry it over either shoulder. While Louis Vuitton and Prada sling bags fall under the fashion category, you don’t have to break the bank here (unless you want to, of course). Fashion sling bags are designed to impress with sleek zippers, unique straps, or other sophisticated design elements. Sometimes, although not always, this trendiness comes at a price—and that price is lower durability. That’s fine if your use-case is pretty low-impact, but if you’re planning to use your sling bag time and again while traveling the world, you may want to opt for another style. Sometimes, we’ve found that it’s easier to adapt to the right-handed world and use sling bags designed for right-handers. That said, there are a few sling bags that may work better for those of you who are aware that left-handed scissors exist.

No matter what your plan for the day is, the Osprey Daylite Sling is a handy 6 litre over-the-shoulder sling bag that’ll securely carry some of your daily essentials. First of all, let’s talk about padding. Some sling bags have zero padding, while others are nearly as padded as the resume of a recent college grad. Padded straps are usually—but not always—found on bigger sling bags to help make carrying that much weight more comfortable. Where the Daylite excels, it does it almost better than others: comfort. Because it has a low profile and tightening straps that make the sling hug your body it’s great for biking, running and scrambling around a canyon.

That way, if you’re left-handed, you can wear it on your left shoulder, so when you “sling” the bag forward, your left hand is ready to work the zippers. Crossbody sling bags are the reason some people say sling bags are purses for men who are embarrassed to say they own a purse. It has a similar aesthetic to a purse, but with a longer strap and smaller body. They tend to have a more vertical orientation as well. We think crossbody slings work well for travel, although since they don’t sit as close to the body as other sling bags, may not feel as secure in a bustling metropolis or busy market. Some companies purposefully design their sling bags with oversized zippers or zipper teeth to look extra dope. If you’re into this aesthetic, you may have to get used to the jingling.
