Peak Design Everyday Sling 6L vs Chrome Industries Kadet 9L Sling
Which should you buy? Our verdict on both, pulled from our full The Best Sling Bags: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) comparison.
The Peak Design wins because the dividers turn one bag into several, and at 1.28 lb empty it is light for what it does. The Chrome holds 9 L for noticeably less money, publishes every measurement, and is the better buy for anyone carrying ordinary things rather than gear.
Peak Design Everyday Sling 6L
Buy itSix litres of reconfigurable space with folding dividers, the best-organised sling here.
- Two FlexFold dividers in the box let you partition the bag around a camera body, a drone or nothing at all.
- 1.28 lb (0.58 kg) empty, or 1.72 lb (0.78 kg) with both dividers fitted, so you know exactly what the organisation costs you.
- Covered by Peak Design's lifetime warranty, and the shell is 400D double poly-coated DWR-impregnated nylon canvas made from recycled post-consumer material over a 900D waterproof bottom liner.
- The external dimensions are only offered as a linked diagram image, with no figures printed in the specification block.
- No laptop carry at all: the sleeve tops out at 25 x 18 x 0.6 cm, which Peak Design rates for an 11 inch iPad Pro.
- It is among the most expensive bags in this comparison.
Chrome Industries Kadet 9L Sling
Buy itThe most capacity here by a wide margin, fully specified, in fabrics built for people who ride in weather.
- 9 L of volume in a 7.75 x 16.5 x 3.5 in body, the largest capacity in this group by half again.
- Chrome publishes the complete fabric stack: 1050D nylon, 1680D ballistic nylon with a PU backing, and 600D polyester over a 150D recycled polyester liner.
- Carries a lifetime warranty against material or workmanship defects, and the seatbelt buckle closure is swappable.
- At 1.43 lb empty it is heavier than the Peak Design without dividers, though it is also the largest.
- Chrome states it fits most tablets but the sleeve is unpadded, so a tablet rides against the contents.
- The 16.5 in width is wide across the back, which some people find bulky over a jacket.
