Urban Photo Sling bags provide three comfortable and secure wearing options: at the front, back or to the side. This design was specially constructed to make it easy to shift positions while the wearer is on the move. Two loading options add to the versatility of the sling. A photographer can load either bag from the top for easy access or with the front panel fully open and the interior features a padded and adjustable divider system.

Convenient storage details include a dedicated, padded compartment provides protective space for a tablet-style computer.  A  zippered front accessory pocket offers easy access to personal items and side pockets provide grab-and-go access to a lens cap, filter and other small items. Each bag has an interior keeper strap to safeguard lenses and accessories; a tuck away waist belt for stability, comfort and security; a contoured, mesh-covered top flap that serves as a moisture barrier; plus a built-in pocket for spare memory cards.
