Product Information
Full details
The Long Weekend Monterey Sling is an ideal everyday carry solution for photographers and travelers who prioritize lightweight organization for their essential gear. Its 2-litre capacity comfortably houses point-and-shoot or small film cameras, phones, and small accessories while offering multiple carrying styles; however, it lacks the protective padding found in larger dedicated camera bags, requiring users to be mindful of heavy impacts.

FAQs
Will this fit a professional DSLR?
No, the Monterey Sling is designed for compact film cameras, point-and-shoots, and smartphones. A DSLR will be too large for the 2-litre volume.
Is the sling fully waterproof?
The bag features a weatherproof design capable of protecting gear from light rain and moisture, but it is not intended to be submerged in water.
How do I clean the Cosmic Purple fabric?
Use a soft cloth dampened with water and mild detergent. Gently wipe the surface and allow it to air dry.
Can I fit a water bottle inside?
A standard 500ml bottle may fit, but it will significantly reduce the space available for camera gear.
Is the strap removable?
The strap is integrated into the bag design and is not intended to be detached.
Troubleshooting
Strap length slips during use
Ensure the webbing is properly threaded through the adjustment buckle and locked into place.
Zipper feels stiff
Clear any debris from the zipper teeth and ensure the fabric lining is not caught in the track.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your sling, adjust the buckle to your preferred carry position. When wearing as a waist-pack, tighten the strap until it sits snugly against your hip. For cross-body use, ensure the sling rests across your chest for easy access. To care for your sling, spot clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the weatherproof coating. Ensure the bag is completely air-dried away from direct sunlight after any exposure to heavy rain.
