Arterra Sling Review
Perfect little size. A zipper up front for your little stuff like your key fob and AirPods.
More on the Arterra Sling
What I like
- The falcon wing: it opens out around a water bottle, dog leash, jacket, whatever. Surprisingly useful as an extra hand, even with my huge water bottle
- Bucket-style top opening that zips around three-dimensionally, so you get great visibility inside
- Perfect little size, with a zipper up front for your little stuff like your key fob and AirPods
- Main clip on the side, close to the bag, plus a good strap gather so there's no dangle
- The Pro steps up to X-Pac, with a weather-sealed zipper on the back for security
- Designed by the guys behind Remote Equipment, some of the most rugged designs I've reviewed
Watch for
- Getting into the front admin pocket can be a little fiddly. I wish it had two zippers

Intense and feature rich for a sling this size. The only one in the lineup that expands and contracts for extra capacity. Pockets literally everywhere and accessory straps for external carry.
