Get moving and don't worry about your essentials. Slings and hip packs carry close to the body for comfortable, hands-free wear — sling one over a shoulder or buckle it around your waist.

Sling bags ride over the shoulder or across the back; waist packs buckle at the hip for quick zipper access, or extend the belt to wear like a sling. Lots of ways to carry just what you need.

Lightweight and packable, they keep must-haves organized while boating, fishing, biking or climbing. For trail-specific builds, see our mountain biking waist packs.

The best sling or hip pack is compact yet roomy and built to last. Compare with our fanny packs and hip and crossbody bags to find your fit.
