One of the things I like about this bag is that it has good organization with easy access. This sling is too small to hold a DSLR with a 70-200 lens (it is too small by just a half-inch but does fit a body with a 24-70). Like all the camera bags that Nomatic has released, this is a well-thought-out, well-built sling, and it sits very well on the body. Below, we’ve rounded out some of our favorites at this time, along with our thoughts and some standard features we believe are worth your consideration. I found that it is not necessarily about the liters but how said liters are laid out that makes the sling work well.

I used my DJI Mavic Pro on each one to illustrate the internal space. So we wanted to look at what is on the market and how well each one works.

Over the past few years, we have seen some great companies get into the sling game. A sling is a great option when you don’t have a ton of gear or don’t want to carry a large bag on your back. Many of these bags range from 7L to 10L, just enough to fit a body and a lens or two inside. The better packs often feature more-careful construction, which is visible in details such as sealed and tighter stitching (our pick from Matador), self-sealing YKK zippers (our pick from Away), and reinforced bottoms (our pick from WaterField).With the increase of smaller mirrorless cameras, more companies have chosen to add a camera sling to their lineup. At a minimum, a pack should provide enough protection to keep you and your gear dry through at least a few minutes of wet weather. Weather resistance and durability: Although a few bags we liked, such as the Matador Freerain22 pack and the WaterField Packable Backpack, come extremely close, total waterproofing is a lot to ask of any lightweight bag.It’s enough to accommodate a 13-inch laptop, along with some rain protection, a camera, an extra layer of clothing, and whatever else you might need for a day about town.

15- to 25-liter capacity: This seems to be the ideal range for a pack that can hold a full day’s worth of stuff while remaining reasonably lightweight and portable.The fabrics and composite materials used in higher-quality bags are light and durable but remain nearly invulnerable to water. High-quality materials: Because a packable daypack needs to be able to carry at least some weight when in use but still fold up for storage, materials make the difference between a lightweight pack that feels cheap and flimsy versus one that you feel confident filling to the max and carrying into a rainstorm.The drawback of adding more organization is that it decreases the packability of a bag and often contributes to weight. Beyond those, an external pocket that can hold small, frequent-use items (such as keys) or sleeves for water bottles are useful.

Organization: Most packable daypacks come with at least two compartments-the largest, or main, compartment and the (often attached) pouch into which the whole pack stows away.The wearability of a bag usually comes down to its load distribution and support system (such as the sternum strap on the Matador Freerain22 Waterproof Packable Backpack). Ergonomic features: Stowable daypacks can look and feel like stuff sacks with straps, or they can be full, ergonomically shaped backpacks.Carrying capacity generally correlates to the weight and size of a bag, except in more explicitly technical packs, which may cut down on weight by using lighter, but more expensive, materials. Weight and size: The whole point of a packable daypack is that it packs well, so weight and compressed size are important factors.
