The 2.5L Tay sling is a 3-in-1 bag that can be used as a hip bag, a sling bag and as a handlebar bag. It’s smaller than the 4.5L Tilt hip pack, for those who don’t like carrying much weight on the back or for narrower handlebars that won’t fit the Tilt hip pack, but shares its main features.

Materials and functions

The 2.5L Tay sling is made with durable, waterproof fabrics on the outside, is fully lined, and features a soft, waterproof liner in the outer pockets. The soft fabric in the pockets helps prevent scratches on phone screens or sunglasses as this bag has also been designed for an urban use.

3-in-1 bag

The Tay bag has been designed to work equally as a sling and a hip pack. 25mm webbing is used for the hip strap, which we found to be a good balance between weight distribution as a hip bag of this size and comfort when being worn as a sling bag. The wings are on the smaller side so the strap can pivot more easily and the bag won’t tip over when worn across the body. They also tuck behind the back pocket to turn the bag into a handlebar bag.

A third point attachment has been added to the bottom of the bag, to stabilise it when worn as a sling, with an additionnal strap (sold separately)

Materials

The Tay sling can be made from a selection of deadstock or recycled fabrics. Any of the fabrics listed below can be used for the panels that compose the bag : the front pannel, the perimeter and the belt wings (x2).

— Sunbrella Marine Acrylic Canvas

(320 g/sqm)

Sunbrella Marine fabric is an impregnated waterproof acrylic woven fabric that is initially made for boat protection. It’s UV, salt and mould resistant so will hold its colour and strength even after being exposed to the elements for a long time.

This acrylic canvas has a soft and matte appearance, close to cotton, which gives it a timeless look, while still being durable and more abrasion resistant than cotton.

— Challenge Sailcloth Ultragrid

(146 g/sqm)

Ultragrid fabric is made from recycled 210d nylon and a 5mm double 200d Ultra grid. This makes a lightweight yet durable fabric with a striking look that holds up to tear and abrasion well.

— X Pac RX 30

(262 g/sqm)

This fabric laminates a 100% recycled polyester outer fabric, X Ply fibres and a transparent, waterproof polyester film. The strong, Ply fibres that lye in a diamond shape between the layers increase the tear resistance and prevent the material from stretching in all directions. This fabric has a matte appearance.
