Love them or hate them, sling bags have exploded in popularity the past few years. But these controversial bags are more than just a fashion accessory. They’re also a convenient way to keep your daily essentials handy and organized while traveling the world—or simply living your life.

As long as you don’t mind a slings resemblance to the polarizing fanny pack, they make the ideal companion. They hold everything that’s usually inside of your pockets and more gear that you’d like to bring around with you for the day—like a camera, sunscreen, tools, a notebook and pen, water bottle or a packable jacket—the possibilities are endless. We like to call this PocketsPlus.

Slings are also a great option for one bag travelers who would like to have a small personal item for flights. They’ll fit almost everything you could ever want in-flight...within reason, of course. Plus, you can throw the entire thing in a bin, and breeze through airport security easily.

Remember, there isn’t one sling bag that will work for everyone. You need to consider your use-case to find the sling that will work for you.
