The Aer City Sling 2’s stretchy mesh pockets have limited grip, making them less secure for small items than the replaced liner pockets. The Aer City Sling 2 improves handling through side compression straps equipped with aluminum hardware that tighten the packed sling. The Aer City Sling 2 sits comfortably against the body when worn either on the front or at the back.
The Aer City Sling 2 front compartment uses an AquaGuard-type YKK zipper and a zipper garage for added water resistance. The Aer City Sling 2 includes a sturdier built-in key clip resembling a mini carabiner, which the reviewers trusted with house keys.
Reported strengths
- The Aer City Sling 2 feels structured even when empty because its CORDURA Ballistic Nylon and YKK zippers retain the sling’s shape.
- The Aer City Sling 2 can stow its strap inside the back panel, giving the sling useful pouch-like carrying flexibility.
- The Aer City Sling 2 improves handling through side compression straps equipped with aluminum hardware that tighten the packed sling.
Reported trade-offs
- Stowing the Aer City Sling 2 strap noticeably bulks the rear because the strap is long and the buckle halves can lock together.
- The Aer City Sling 2’s stretchy mesh pockets have limited grip, making them less secure for small items than the replaced liner pockets.
- The Aer City Sling 2’s mesh pockets sometimes failed to retain small adapters after a slight jostle, according to the reviewers.
