The reviewer reports that the bolstr AUX Sling sample uses 1680D Ballistic Nylon, while other versions use Cordura or X-Pack RX30. The opposite side provides an elastic loop for bundled cables or multitools beside a zippered pocket for adapters, drives, or passports. The reviewer finds the Single Point strap comfortable for cross-body carry because the bolstr AUX Sling hangs down for balanced carrying.
The Single Point strap adjusts in length, allowing the wearer to customize where the bolstr AUX Sling hangs during carry. The Free Hand strap allows the bolstr AUX Sling to clip onto a belt loop or another bag.
