This is the orange Photo Sport Sling 100 AW from Lowepro. Here's a really lightweight way to get out on the trail with your camera, lens, phone, jacket and other items. At 1.7 lb (0.8kg), this pack is for someone who likes to travel fast and light. Made from rip stop nylon and supported by an adjustable and comfortable shoulder strap, this pack can be carried on a plane so you'll never be separated from your gear.
Inside, there is ample space for all kinds of gear - both photo and personal so don't be afraid to stuff your lightweight jacket inside as well as your phone, water bottle, ski poles, keys and even a snack. The dual compartment design permits you to organize your contents. The top area is readily accessed and can hold all your small stuff - phone, keys and water. The camera bay is for the bulkier items and is accessed two ways - either from the top or side when the pack is rotated for sling use. The zippered and padded side access features Lowepro's Ultra-Cinch Camera Chamber where you'll have a simple and reliable cinch closure in addition to the zipper.
Other features of the Photo Sport Sling 100 AW include reflective piping that will allow you to be seen in lower light conditions, a comfortable molded airflow backpad and multiple attachment points for optional accessories. Lowepro's built-in rain fly is another bonus that provides protection to the entire bag when you're caught in rain or snow. Backed by Lowepro's lifetime warranty, the Photo Sport Sling 100 AW is a reasonably-priced bag that offers a host of features for anyone who likes to be outdoors and wants a dual function sling and backpack that won't weigh you down and that provides more than adequate protection for your gear.

Comments about Lowepro Photo Sport Sling 100 AW (Orange):
First the background - So, I do lots of hiking and I have tried several (5-6 or so) backpacks to carry my camera and a lens or two for a day hike (including snacks, extra jacket, and other misc items. Most backpacks can fit it for a dayhike, but not many were comfortable.
The Goods - I continued my search until I found this pack. I love it, and have stopped looking. It fits everything I need, and has some room to spare. I was surprised because it looks small, but actually fit everything. Looks can be deceiving. I am more than happy with this pack for my day trips. The sling part is a huge bonus as it allows for quick easy access to my camera (5d MkII and 24-105L lens). I have enough space for an additional smaller prime or a flash as well in the padded section.
In addition to my camera I carry a water bottle, cell phone, keys, snacks and lunch, wind jacket, and down jacket (ultra packable one). It all fits.
If your up in the air, try one out, I'm sure you will love it.

I was looking for a sling camera bag that would hold my Nikon D5000 and 2 lens with storage for other items as well. this bag is just the right size, quick easy access to the camera via side pocket. Able to strap tripod on bottom of bag. Very comfortable to wear, this was a great purchase.

Comments about Lowepro Photo Sport Sling 100 AW (Orange):
This is a great bag. It seems small, but I like the fact that my equipment fits tight within it. Most other bags leave enough room that your gear "rattles" around a bit. Most bags that hold full size DLSR gear sits high off your back as well. This makes it uncomfortable after a few hours. This bag fit my camera with grip, and three lenses tight and comfortable against my back for hours. Really easy to manage on planes. I just wish they had more color choices.

Comments about Lowepro Photo Sport Sling 100 AW (Orange):
Generally its been used to safely transport our Nikon D7000
While participating in outdoor lifestyle. The general proportion
Of this bag produces a volume that nicely accomodates camera equipment
But not to bulky to be cumbersome. The pocketing layout and overall functionality
is well done. The rain cover is a decent extra that comes in handy.
The mono strap is fixed and works in one configuration only.
A flip flop mono strap could be added in next version of this bag.
As well as a method to angle the pack to align with center of your back.

Comments about Lowepro Photo Sport Sling 100 AW (Orange):
very easy carry -- orange is safety when hiking in woods during deer season -- very quick to get to your camera -- recently used while day hiking Appalachian Trail in north Georgia & North Carolina --- carried extra socks, windbreaker jacket, water bottle, couple power bars, Canon D60, EFS 18-135 zoom, knife, binoculars, and Kahr .380 -- everything very accessible, pack is light weight, colour is a bonus -- IMO excellent choice for day trips -- really like it --

Comments about Lowepro Photo Sport Sling 100 AW (Orange):
This product is convenient if traveling to cities or for short hikes (less than a day). It's water resistant which I've tested in a jungle, and it's comfortable to wear over your shoulder. It cannot, however, hold too much stuff outside of the camera. For example, it is difficult to hold a tripod.
