Flame throwers being one obvious exception. While that all may sound ridiculously technical, all you need to know is that this bag should keep up with all you throw at it. For additional abrasion and weather-resistance, the bag is finished with both a polyurethane and DWR coating. The body of the bag is made from 630D nylon (50% recycled/50% high-tenacity), while it’s lined with 100% recycled 200D polyester. You know what else is typical Patagonia? The high-quality materials and top-notch craftsmanship. Everyone will know you’re rocking Patagonia, but you won’t feel like you’re being sponsored by the brand as you go about your life (for better or worse). The branding is typical for Patagonia-you’ll find the company’s name along the side of the bag in a way that’s obvious without being too over the top.
Patagonia Atom Sling LogoĪnyway, there are enough colors available that you truly can do you. These colorways really pop against the all-black wardrobe we’ve cultivated on our Digital Nomad Packing List. Instead of opting for our usual black, we’ve decided to switch things up over at Pack Hacker HQ and test the Arrow Red and Classic Red colorways. It’s sporty and available in a wide variety of colorways-Black, Forge Grey, Classic Red, Tasmanian Teal, Arrow Red, Fatigue Green, Resin Yellow, Birch White, Classic Navy, and Smokey Violet-so you can be as flashy or as subtle as you’d like to be. The Patagonia Atom Sling has a strong outdoorsy vibe (similar to the Osprey Daylite Shoulder Sling).
This 8L sling bag is the perfect size to hold the essentials-phone, wallet, snacks, keys, even a jacket-while you’re off seeing the world. If you’re looking for a reliable and handy sling bag that’s built for the trails (but works for the city) then you’ll be excited to meet Patagonia’s Atom Sling.
