Note: PGYTECH sent us the OneMo Sling 7L Shoulder Bag to review and keep. However, this is a completely independent review. All thoughts about this product are our own.

Pros

  • Useful size for hiking, street photography, walking around, and utilitarian purposes
  • It’s a relatively small bag but manages to still fit a surprising amount through smart organization
  • The battery pockets offer power indicator labels
  • Attractive modern appearance

Cons

  • I really can’t think of anything although I do wish that it doubled as a waist bag.

PGYTECH OneMo Sling 7L Shoulder Bag — Ergonomics and build quality

The OneMo Sling 7L is a sleek modern bag, modern enough that it actually has a tiny hidden pocket for an AirTag (it’s at the bottom of the main compartment near the tag). This bag has a good number of zippers and pockets. However, it never feels overengineered or confusing. It’s not one of those bags where there are so many compartments that you can’t remember where you put your memory cards.

The exterior material is slick and splash-proof. Water beads off it, so the bag will do well in mist or slight drizzle, but cannot be used as a kayak.

Expandable

If not filled with your gear, this collapses down to become smaller. The bag has a fold on the bottom so if the main compartment is not full, it collapses down slightly so it’s not as bulky. Nice. Furthermore, it has a zipper that runs around the periphery of the top of the bag. Unzip that and you have more room. This is conceptually similar to the zipper that provides expansion on soft luggage. This allows you to hold a decent amount of gear in a relatively small bag.

PGYTECH OneMo Sling 7L Shoulder Bag — In the field

I tend to use these bags as a shoulder bag, and that’s how I tested it here. Initially, the strap felt stiff. My red lights went off momentarily. However, no problem. I noticed that it has surprisingly thick EVA padding to take some of the weight off your shoulders. I didn’t know what EVA padding was, so naturally, I was curious. It stands for Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate, and is a closed cell foam. It is often used in floor and exercise mats, sports equipment, crafts, kickboards, life jackets, and, well, camera bag straps.

More uses in the field

I used it to carry a variety of lenses on a night photography excursion. The “Sandwich” Structure, as PGYTECH calls it, coupled with the Velcro partitions, worked well at organizing and protecting the lenses. Mmmm…..sandwiches.

But you want to know what gear it can hold. And of course, that’s what we will discuss next!

PGYTECH OneMo Sling 7L Shoulder Bag — What gear can it hold?

Main compartment

Inside the main compartment, you can store a full-sized DSLR camera with a lens attached and one to two other lenses. 

To be more specific, I was easily able to fit a Pentax K-1 full-frame DSLR, which is a large, heavy camera with an attached 28-105mm f/3.5-5.6 zoom lens and a Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 zoom lens, which is a relatively large lens. I could have easily fit two smaller prime lenses instead of the zoom lens. Or four or five Lensbaby lenses! This was comfortable in the field and worked well.

Additionally, you can slip a 10″ or 11″ tablet behind one of the dividers.

Other storage pockets

There are two storage pockets on the main flap, one inside, and one outside. 

The interior pocket has four pockets for batteries. There are rubber power indicators above each of the four pockets, offering the ability to switch the lever to show red or green. Nice. Sometimes it’s the little things! I always reversed the positioning of the battery, but this is a far more elegant solution. The pockets held Pentax and Nikon DSLR batteries snugly despite the flap’s movement. 

Front sleeve

Finally, the bag comes with a front sleeve. This can be used for a water bottle if you wish. Or you could take PGYTECH’s suggestion and put your AirPods, keys, phone, or other items there if you wish.

Bottom attachment strap

In some of the materials that PGYTECH provided, they showed a tripod attached at the bottom. Yes, you could do that. But it would likely be a really small tripod. Given that the bag is only about 32 cm (13 inches) across, anything more than that would stick out. But of course, you can use it for stuff sacks, jackets, shirts, or other items. However, I would urge you not to use them for cats. No, that would be bad. Very bad.
