Central Park Sling

I wanted a sling that is fully accessible and fits close to my front body, to wear traveling when I'm also wearing my carryon backpack. Previously I used a Naples backpack worn in front, but I wanted to see if I could get my essentials into the Central Park sling. I can. In the back zipped section I carry an iPad mini, powerbank, AirPods and associated cords and chargers. In the middle zipped section I have my "mini pharmacy" pouch, my prescription sunglasses in a hard case, and a snack. In the open middle pocket I keep my RFID-protected walletthe pocket is deep and feels secure. In the front zipped section I keep my phone, pen, and a hygiene pouch (masks, wipes, etc.) For plane trips, I can tuck my rolled-up inflatable pillow underneath the front buckle to access when I'm seated. All this and the sling looks good and hangs comfortablyI'm left-handed and have no problem using the zippers. One key to its success are the various sections for organization and access. Plus the back section actually has usable space in the narrow top area, which other slings I've seen don't have. I wish the sling strap had a steel cable inside that would hamper a thief from cutting it off me, but when I'm wearing my other backpack, the sling's strap is protected.

I haven't gone outside to work without it in the two months since it came. Put my phone and glasses in the slip pocket behind the clip and they don't fall out. I can get it dirty and then wipe the dirt right off. It's sleek. Don't even realize it's there.Meaning it's not distracting me in any way from my tasks. Adjusts to fit close to the body, where you want it! This is the one I'd wear out walking. Sporty, sleek, made for activity! Can run right to the store cause my On the go wallet with keys fits perfect too. Plus sunglasses and work gloves. I got it in French Navy which is great and black for the snow shoveling iI see in its future!!

Love the material, easy to clean. Anti-theft clasp for the larger compartment and zipper on both sides on the back side for my phone. Easy to adjust straps and you can move the strap easily from one side to the other so you can wear it either way. Would highly recommend!

I love the Central Park sling, which like most Baggallini products, benefits from a large number of pockets and a place for everything. My one quibble with it is that the three exterior metal zipper pulls bounce around against the bag and each other and make relentless, annoying, clicking and jangling noises when I walk, no matter how I adjust them. Using rubberized or ribbon-style zipper pulls for this bag (and all similar multi-zipper slings, waist packs, and mini crossbody bags) would be an enormous improvement.

I am love, love, loving my Baggalini sling! Got the one with the stripes for easy identification and locating among my clothes. Smart move for my blow and go life!
