Aer City Sling

However, we can confidently say that the City Sling 2 is a buy in our book. As is to be expected from air, it represents the gold standard in Edc opti...

We Think this is really excellent size and form for a sling as well..

So there you have it, that is the Air City sling too!

- Aer City Sling 2 (I liked the look, but it was a little bulky and the fidlock buckle was so sharp it kept scratching my neck whenever I’d take the sling off). I’m basically looking for something that’s compact and lightweight [that’ll store mostly flat so it can fit into my travel backpack with minimal bulk] that wont draw too much attention [i.e., no flashy colors] when I travel and walk around a new city.

They all fit in but the sling feels stuffed, fat and heavy ... My current cheap fake "The NorthFace sling" from Cambodia feels much smaller on the outside but fits everything equally well (but it has many other issues). Maybe I've the wrong impression but it seems the City Sling was just made to throw in phone, wallet, keys. But these things I have in my pocket, I wanted to use the sling for a variety of small "essentials" such as small USB-C charger/cable (laptops/phones), power bank, hand santizer, tissues, in-ear headphones, Ibuprufen etc and carry it at a low profile. To make things worse, Aer does normally not do international returns (even from Canada).

The Aer City Sling is a bag that I’ve had on my radar for a bit. I currently have the Day Sling 2 in x-pac and also the Black Ember TKS. When I saw the City Sling release in x-pac material though, I new I had to go for it. Initial impressions are that it’s a very compact and organized.

\- AER City Sling - looks to be about the right size for what I'm looking for... \- AER Day Sling 2 - might be too big but has more organization than my DSPTCH slings. \- Code of Bell X-Pod - probably too big but looks like it compresses nicely.

I bought the first generation AER City Sling about 6 or 7 months ago now (off this sub, shout-out to y'all) and I've been absolutely loving it. I've been using it as a "just going out for a few hours" type of bag and it's been excellent for that.

Not so great when I have a smaller load, as the inside is kinda just a big bucket. Love it when I need it, but kinda hate fishing stuff out of it when I don’t have a lot. I also have the Aer City Sling 2 (which I also love!) that’s great when I only need a couple things or wanna take my camera out with a couple extra rolls of film and that’s it.

Size, storage or organization, how well the bag sits, material choices, and design. For smaller slings you have the Aer city sling 2 and the Aer Day Sling 3, both fantastic choices.
