Navigator Collapsible Sling 6L

This is such a unique bag! It packs down perfectly in a bigger pack when traveling for a quick accessible daypack. The 6l is very roomy. My rain jacket fits inside along with all other daily items. I can fit a full size water bottle in the external pocket. The material has a strong feel and works great outdoors.

It's expensive for what it's made of, but it is versatile. You can pretty much use it as an EDC as long as you don't need to physically protect the contents. I use it daily to take my notebook, coffee, and lunch to work. When I'm out and about riding my bike and/or hiking. If traveling with just a carry-on, this bag works well for your tech.

I'm a huge sling bag enthusiast and own many from the likes of brands such as Alpaka and tomtoc. But I was in need of a bag for a specific use-case and that is for when being really active. Whether that is hiking, biking, jumping around. . . . I wanted a bag that was lightweight, compact, and came with a stabilizer strap.

I was really happy to find the Navigator Collapsible Sling 6L. The ability to fold it up and stow away is perfect, really easy to use too! The material of the sling itself is water resistant and very lightweight. The orientation of the bag is smart in that is sits vertical on your back but then when you swing it to your front it will sit horizontal and access to all your belongings inside stays well organized with 4 elastic pockets inside the main compartment. The outside zippered compartment is also very roomy and I enjoy the water bottle sleeve as well.

The stabilizer strap really hits home for me and I love how easy it is to stow away when not needed. This keeps the bag snug and comfortable as you're moving about.

Overall I'm happy with this purchase and even gifted one to a family member. Great value, great product.

I bought this bag to be used as a daily carry while on vacation with my family in Costa Rica.

I relly like that you can rotate the bag from your back to chest/stomach and when you do so, you are able to access the contents of the bag easily because the zipper is horizontal. This is great when traveling as you can gain quick access to your passports which fit comfortably into one of the pockets.

I was also able to fit a charging cable, anker portable charger, my ipad, my bose quiet comfort ultra headphones (in the case) and my 18 ounce yeti rambler. This allowed me to have everything that I would need for my flight accessible without having to dig around in my travel backpack.

I was not a big fan of the water bottle pocket. I did on occasion put my yeti in it, but it never felt fully secure. In addition, given that it is a collapsible bag, the exterior material can appear a bit wrinkled when opening it up fully. Not a big deal but it is noticeable aesthetically.

Alot of people write about the stabilizer strap not being there. . . but that's because it is well hidden. . . which I like.

I will definitely be bringing this for future trips.
