However, I’ve also occasionally ridden with my Leica or Fuji tucked into a hip pack over the past few years, which I prefer to stashing it in a backpack or storing it directly on my back for the reasons outlined in the guide above. The pack secures to your back with an adjustable cross-chest belt and hip belt clasp, features padded and adjustable shoulder straps to relieve pressure on shoulders while carrying heavy loads, has 3 separate compartments, and denim leather purse offers two double zipper pulls on each compartment for easy access. Not even the heat shrink material on the zipper pulls shows any significant damage. Even the similarly-sized Bozer Cross Body and Access Pouch have secondary compartments that help with organization, even if those two have less spacious main compartments. It’s nothing too crazy, but compared to similarly small slings like The North Face Bozer Cross Body or NOMATIC’s Access Pouch, main compartment accessibility here is quite forgiving. Two ways to wear it – sling style across the body or fanny pack style around your waist.
Pals webbing lines the back of the pack and inner sleeve so you can load out your pockets the way you want them. The high-quality, fleece-lined, and padded main pocket can fit cameras, lenses, drones, and anything else you need to craft your story. Part of the reason is that the main compartment is padded. It only has one compartment with no secondary pockets to speak of-no hidden security pocket or stealthily gusseted one at the front. When fastened, however, it also means that the front flap can only open halfway (see video below), stopping all your gear from falling out when you try and retrieve an item while the bag is still on your back. Choosing a good kid’s slumber bag can be quite a reasonably excellent investment since these can be utilized year inside year out there. On AliExpress, there are many discount seasons, such as annual 11.11 and mid-season discounts.
When worn by the small framed among our crew, there are only a few inches of leeway at the strap’s widest adjustment. We get that the Aspect Black is a small sling, but we wish the strap had more length or was at least removable so that we could use an alternative strap. This means more sensitive items like small point-and-shoot cameras and sunglasses get some protection in case the sling gets knocked in day-to-day use. I wouldn’t be prompted to ask that question if I hadn’t had an experience where a friend of mine asked me to do emotional work on her dog and I’m like I’ll try. It has a bit of abrasion-resistant vibe going on that we typically attribute to fabrics like nylon or ballistic nylon-which it isn’t. Mind you, the Aspect Black isn’t indestructible by any means. The Aspect Black is a bit bare in terms of exterior features, which isn’t really a problem in and of itself. The horizontal shape of the Aspect Black means items sit side by side rather than stacked top to bottom. The straps are anchored towards the top of the bag, which is great for fanny pack carry, but it creates a feeling of imbalance when in sling carry mode.
It comes with velcro at the back and a buckle on the front to keep it together with the main pack. HEX expects all of our everyday carry items to live in harmony inside the main compartment, but can they? The same can be said when we get to the inside of the Aspect Black. First, the strap is quite long, so stowing them inside the back panel noticeably bulks up the rear. It uses a length-adjustable strap with a quick-release buckle in the middle. Our only real gripe is that the strap doesn’t offer much in terms of length. That’s not much different from the messenger bag life style.
