The patagonia atomic 8L sling is the ultimate win win, the north face is still a decent bag but I wish it was BIGGER to hold an iPad or a small surface pro 7 and the “water bottle pocket” was expandable like the sport sling from Beís (shay Mitchell) AND if you could switch the straps on either side then I would buy this bag…

I need some help! I’m looking for a sling like this size it’s perfect. But im kinda being picky and want something that can fit a hydro flask on the outside. Even a 20oz one is better than a plain ice mountain bottle. Any suggestions? Not picky on brand. Was looking at the borealis mini too but that also doesn’t have a larger water bottle holder. Would be open to small backpacks too that can fit a larger water bottle. Please help me out please!

I’ve been using a Cookies smell proof rat pack for almost 3 years now. It was my first cross body bag and now that I’ve owned a technical backpack for a few months (the north face borealis) I want to get the sling version. But… there is one issue I can’t seem to choose between the Patagonia 8l atom sling or the borealis sling. They are pretty such exactly the same except the borealis has the bungees and a small water bottle compartment. The Patagonia one is bigger since it’s 8l instead of 6l, also I think it’s more stylish. Hmmm 🤔 decisions

@@herb_rolls I ended up buying the Patagonia atom sling and although I do use it you are right about it sliding a lot. The small pouch can’t ever stay put where you want it across your chest it always slides up to my neck so for long hours using the bag it gets annoying. Honestly I should have went with the north face borealis sling. Maybe next time I buy a bag I’ll get it right haha

It holds one just fine. I usually use my nalgene, which I have to stick in the main compartment. But it will hold a bottle just fine. I also find that if you roll up your rain jacket or keep an umbrella with you if it's in that pocket just fine.
