Amazing bag

Love the moto sling. Perfect size for my concealed carry 1911 and other edc items. Amazing quality build. Just wish the strap padding could be adjusted to lay over the opposite side shoulder.

Great sling!

Have been looking on and off for a front sling since December 2023. I'd buy one, try it for a few days and return it. It was either quality, or eventual discomfort, or lack of storage, or lack of adjustment, or too small/big, or some sort of a combination of those. Bit the bullet on this one after a review was written on it on a tech website I frequent. I received it in two days from San Francisco to Central Florida. Nice to see Waterfield not skimping out on the shipping. Pulled it out and first thing I noticed, it's big. I wasn't a fan. Put it on empty and took it for a spin while riding with a motorcycle jacket. Instant 180 on my dislike for it. The instant dislike of its size was undone with its adjustments and, how it sits while riding complete negates its size. I then, put every EDC stuff I could fit in it and the size is very much worth it. It perfectly balances the weight of all my stuff in there. I'm talking all of it...phone, wallet, keys, passport, air pods, pen, notepad, battery bank, multi tool, 2 flashlights, turnicate, pocket knife, earbuds, tire plug kit, Glock (with trigger guard holster), extra mag, and a Twinkie (for bulk purposes. Mine and the bag's 😁). The size allows for more contact on the body. That allows for the weight to be more evenly distributed. After about 10 mins, I readjusted the strap and it's a ghost...I forgot I had it on.
Used it for the next two days without the motorcycle to carry the essential EDC (phone, wallet, keys, knife, gun, and mag) in it instead of in my pockets/waist. Qua-lit-y. This is where it shines IMO. The zippers are smooth and their teeth somehow disappear once closed. Opened and closed it constantly for those two days even to put the phone in and out every few minutes while running errands and not a fray or even a mark anywhere around it. The little dirt here and there was done away with a wet wipe.
The magnet clip...standing ovation. Seems like one of those simple things to the end user after it's done. But, I imagine there were a team of engineers tinkering with it for a way too long time to get it perfect. It's incredible how much it's used and I cannot think of using another sling bag without it.
Bottom line, quality costs money. And this sling bag is worth its price. Plus, the added perk that it's going to American workers in an American company based in a classic American city. When's the last time you bought something where that was the case? Highly recommended and major props to Waterfield and the team for nailing a sling bag for this picky buyer.

Met Expectations

I’ve been using this sling for almost two years now, and I must say, it has met just about every expectation I had. It’s the only sling I’ve tried doesn’t constantly slide around my body. That’s due to the grippy rubber on the shoulder pads. The pockets have worked phenomenally for my needs. I’m honestly surprised I haven’t seen any reviews thus far. This is leading me to believe I should make one for this bag, so as to get the word out, because people have no idea what they’re missing. It was a bit larger looking than I expected, and a bit on the smaller expensive side, but overall it’s an amazing bag; even if you don’t use it while riding a motorcycle, because I don’t.

Moto Front Sling for EDC and Travel

Well, I haven’t purchased a motorcycle yet. In any case, I primarily purchased this sling bag for my EDC and for traveling. It holds everything that I must have on me: from my Leatherman, wallet, cell phone, reading glasses, headphones, etc. and still has room to conveniently carry additional items needed when traveling.
Took a while to find the right sling bag – you can’t go wrong with the MOTO SLING! The build quality, both inside and out, is excellent! The magnetic quick release buckle is one of my favorite features on this sling bag!

NEW! X-PAC® CANVAS 

 

For a limited time, the Moto Front Sling is available in X-Pac® Canvas, a high-performance textile that blends the durable, lightweight, and water-resistance of X-Pac® with a soft canvas feel. This combination is ideal for the Moto Sling which requires tough materials to weather the elements.

Available in X-Pac® Canvas until April 21st. 

THE BEST FRONT SLING AROUND

 

The Moto Front Sling is designed to be worn in the front, not the back, making it quick and easy to retrieve your wallet, keys, cash, cards, phone, and other personal items without the extra step of having to swing the Sling around from the back. 

This convenience is especially useful  for motorcycle riders who want to carry their essential gear in front so they  can access them without having to dismount and remove their jackets. Getting their wallets or ID before entering parking lots or purchasing coffee can be a hassle when stored in the back. 

ANOTHER WATERFIELD ORIGINAL 


 

The Moto Front Sling's one-of-a-kind design was developed with input from motorcycle enthusiasts to  address their specific riding requirements:

 

Gloved Access: Large zipper pulls with a grippy texture let riders zip open the Sling with gloves on.

 

Quick-Release Buckle: A magnetic buckle quickly separates the bag from its strap so the Sling can be taken off without having to pull the strap over the rider's helmet.

 

Stability While in Motion: The unique shape of the Moto Sling embraces the rider so it sits close to the body and minimizes moving around when going at top speed. The super grippy shoulder pad lets the Sling stay put on the body.

 

Weather Resistance: The materials can withstand the rain and keep gear dry. The ballistic nylon has a water-resistant backing and the nylon liner has an acrylic backing for two layers of protection. YKK water-resistant zippers are used throughout.

 

Interior Organization: Multiple pockets separate essentials tools (like heavy wheel locks) from personal items (phone, glasses).

 

The result is a stylish front sling that can be used on and off the bike. Light, compact, and fitted just right, you'll hardly notice you have it on. 

KEEP YOUR GLOVES ON


The beauty of the front-wearing Moto Front Sling is that you don't need to take off your bulky motorcycle gloves to access any of your essential items. The zipper pulls are big enough so you can zip open the pockets to take out your wallet, ID card, or safety lock. 

 

When you do take your gloves off, you can attach them to the Moto Sling so they'll be easy to find.

FOR PEOPLE ON THE MOVE


Designed for motorcycle riders, the Moto Sling's ergonomic front-wearing design and features are useful for anyone riding any type of transport where they have to sit or stand upright. 

 

Electronic scooter drivers, city cyclists, one-wheel skateboarders, and even those in wheelchairs will find the Moto Sling useful as an everyday carry.
