Monterey Sling, Red
Inspired by epic road trips, shooting film, and slowing down to take it all in. It’s our popular Santa Fe Shoulder Bag in a smaller cross-body fanny sling form.
With 2L of capacity, this sling is the perfect sidekick for carrying your film camera, point-and-shoot, and plus-sized phone, along with all your daily essentials. The classic silhouette and super adjustable strap make this pack feel equally at home cross-body or around your waist.
External zipper and cargo pockets are perfect for your quick access items like extra rolls of film. A simple internal slip pocket keeps you organized and easily fits plus-sized phones.

Long Weekend Monterey Sling — The Minimalist Carry for Explorers Who Pack Light
The gist: A 2L ultralight sling that slips between your body and a daypack, keeping essentials at hand during city wanders, day trips, or weekend getaways without adding bulk.
- Ultralight build: Weighs just 0.25 lb (0.1 kg), so it adds almost nothing to your carry even on a full day of exploration.
- Compact but capable: 2L capacity in an 11 in x 5 in x 3.4 in profile — enough for a camera, passport, cards, and snacks.
- Travel-grade materials: Recycled 500D nylon body with 210D ripstop accents and YKK zippers for durability that holds up to daily nomad use.
- Versatile carry: Adjustable strap spanning 16–56 inches lets you wear it cross-body or as a waist/fanny pack depending on the situation.
Pack Hacker rated it 7.4/10, noting that the exterior pockets offer impressive depth compared to competitors and the simple main compartment translates well into travel use alongside a larger backpack.
Best for: Hobbyist film or point-and-shoot photographers on light day outings. Skip it if: Skip it if you shoot in rain or humid climates — Pack Hacker specifically flags that the material is not very water resistant and gear may get wet, and the lack of padding on the strap and back panel can get warm in hot weather. Runs ~$30 open box — check the current price before buying.
