What Is a Sling Pack?

As its name implies, a sling pack is a type of bag made to ‘sling’ onto your shoulder or back. It is similar to a backpack, but because it has only a single wide strap, offers hands-free dexterity with the added benefit of quick accessibility to its contents. Some sling packs feature an ambidextrous design that allows the wearer to sling the pack onto either shoulder. Orvis offers options in sling packs designed specifically for the fly angler, along with smart, trail-ready designs engineered for adventures with a dog.
