Dayfarer Active Sling Review
The Active Sling from Dayfarer is built for movement — a sleek crossbody with smart gym-and-go organization, water-resistant materials, and a stable ride when you’re moving fast.
More on the Dayfarer Active Sling
What I like
- Same big magnetic Fidlock buckle Dayfarer uses on his backpacks. Once you get used to it you just lock in and go.
- X-Pac build. Durable but still slick and stylish.
- Magnetic flap closure, quick to get into.
Watch for
- Over the shoulder only. You can't wear this one on the waist.
- No zipper pocket anywhere. It's a magnetic flap over a sack with a little organization.
- Small capacity. If you pack it out, not sure how well that flap closes.
- The magnetic strap can feel a little technical for every day.
