We built the Pinyon Sling around one question — what do you actually reach for when you stop walking? A crossbody sling for the market, the museum and the trailhead.
It is made from recycled nylon with a fleece-lined phone pocket, selected after abrasion tests against granite, bark and the rough concrete of a train platform. The base panel is doubled so the bottom never becomes the first thing to wear out.
Shoulder straps are contoured and padded with closed-cell foam that will not pack flat over the years. A removable sternum strap slides on a rail, so it sits right whether you are five foot two or six foot four.
Inside, a sleeve holds a laptop or hydration bladder, and two mesh pockets keep small things from sinking to the bottom. An external daisy chain takes a wet jacket, a sleeping pad or a bunch of wildflowers.
Every buckle is a standard size, so if one breaks on a trip you can swap it from any outdoor shop, and we will mail you a replacement for free.

Exactly what I hoped for
Dashiell E.Verified buyer on
The laptop sleeve is padded and sits off the bottom, which saved my computer when I dropped the bag. Carried this through three airports and a week of day hikes. The straps are comfortable even when it is full.

Good, not perfect

The sternum strap slider is clever. Small detail, big difference for my shorter torso.

Priya A.Verified buyer on
Carried this through three airports and a week of day hikes. The straps are comfortable even when it is full. Fits more than it looks like it should. I wish the side pockets were a bit deeper for tall bottles.
