The majority of our materials are made from recycled PET bottles. We use a PFC-free, environmentally friendly water-repellency coating on our fabrics.

The difference between our fabrics is mainly in the look and feel. Our first fabric (Black and Sand variants) has a rather natural, canvas-like look. It feels thinner.

In the Sleek Black variant, the fabric has a smooth look. It feels a little thicker and rubbery.

The Sleek Black is a little easier to clean due to its smooth texture and water rolls off more easily - on the other hand, it is more prone to superficial scratches and dents or cuts, which remain visible in the long term on such smooth fabrics.

As far as protecting the contents of the backpack from moisture is concerned, there is no difference between the two versions, as both fabrics are waterproof. It is always important to remember that after prolonged exposure to heavy rain, moisture can seep through the seams and zips of bags.

Great size and material.

+ I really like the pockets for glasses and essentials on boyh bags. They are not overdone as the main opening is really big still.

+ All the attachment loops are well placed for various carry styles and don’t add much bulk to the design.

- I don’t understand why they chose a zipper attachment between the two bags. Both have loops for a clip attachment and the half zipper rubs against my clothing when not in use.

Love this bag! It’s so versatile and convenient I like that it is lightweight.

Very difficult to use

Changing the straps (removing them or reattaching them) requires superhuman strength in the fingers. When you somehow find the strength to do it, you realise that you need to buy different straps to use the sling as a backpack. Even using the sling as it is looks very weird, and leaving the front pouch attached means you'll be using the sling the wrong way round, with the pouch on the inside, rather than the outside. I gave it away as I could not use it!

Hi Doreen, thanks so much for your feedback on the Sling Combo! We're so sorry that it didn't live up to your expectations. We are always keeping up to date with new developments in buckle manufacturing, because we know the best products should also ideally be easy to use. Unfortunately, at this moment the gated G-hooks we use on the Sling Combo and Simple Shoulder Straps offer the best durability and weight management (while still allowing for transformations). I'm so sorry that it hasn't been easy to change them. But we definitely take your feedback to heart in all of our future product developments and we are really grateful for you sharing your experience with them.

For others still getting the hang of our buckle system, we created a video demonstrating how to open the clips, and you can find that here: https://youtu.be/uRKyM4L3VdI?si=tCB8MDYemTSQ4Jy2&t=17

We also have a few videos on our Youtube channel about the Sling transformations, we invite you to check them out.

Again, thank you so much for your feedback, we greatly appreciate it 🙏

The sling with the simple straps

The simple straps could be a little bit longer and the front pocket is so small that neither my phone nor my glasses would fit. Apart from that the sling ist really nice.

Perfect for daily travel once you get to your destination

Great! Loving it!

The Sling

Fantastic! All in one: backpack and hand bag

I bought the Sling Combo in sleek black in a recent sale and added the extra shoulder straps to transform the combo into a backpack when needed. Here is my, I hope, critical review because I really like this item: the bag feels elegant and I am very pleased with the sleek black look. I`ve been carrying around my everyday items in it for approx. 2 months now. They usually include a book, hand lotion, sun protection, a foldable shopping bag, keys, my wallet, a hair brush, an iPad 10“ incl. keyboard, handkerchiefs, some cosmetics like lipstick, a small mirror and a small umbrella. Everything fits in just fine. Without the iPad it’s even possible to keep the upper part rolled down and then the combo makes a lovely hand bag. If you have to carry around a laptop with 15“ or larger, I wouldn’t recommend this bag, otherwise I hope my list of items that fit into it, give you an impression for what it‘s useful for. Sometimes I carry a slim A4 folder with this bag for work, and the iPad still fits in, but then it could get a bit cramped if you want to add a bunch of other items. But even packed like this, the zipper on top of the roll top usually still closes. So I really like the dimensions and all in all I love the stylish design.
Maybe it`s worth noting, that I have considered buying this combo even before there was a sale and I think, if it ever will be worn down, I will want to buy it again. So lets get to my impression of the quality: the bag is very well made, every seam is flawless and the YKK zippers work very well and look robust. The fabric still looks almost like on the first day. I once scratched it accidentally with a key ring and therefore it now shows minimal signs of that, but that was my fault and you only really notice, if you look closely. Due to the folding and unfolding of the roll top, the sleek black material is a little wrinkled as it is not as stiff and thick as I am used to from other water proof bike bags for example. But generally I think, it is durable and just shouldn’t get in contact with sharp, spikey items like key chains and so on. It still looks as good as new though I‘ve really been carrying this bag around with me every day ever since I‘ve got it.
About the versatility: I am not sure, if it was really necessary for me to buy the shoulder straps for turning it into a back pack. The simple strap, that comes with the sling combo can also be adjusted so that you can wear the bag cross body over one shoulder comfortably. During a recent hike I carried a heavy thermos bottle and food for five hours in this bag just cross body and sometimes switched sides and my back didn’t get tired. The mini bag that is part of the combo is also really nice and I often like using it separately with the neck pouch strap, that I had added to the purchase as well. So all in all I can really recommend the sling combo and am looking forward to it being my go-to bag for the upcoming spring and summer.

Just what I was wanting (except for one thing)

This bag is made with incredible quality. It is the perfect size that I expected, and I love it every way except for one. I bought it specifically because I can change it from a sling bag to a backpack, but that switch is anything but easy. The straps are strong and good quality, but very challenging to take on and off. I wish that part were easy and that there didn't have to be three straps necessary.

wunderschön

Practical and comfortable

I have now used this sling a couple of times, and I find it to be very practical and good. It works as both a sling and a small backpack. It is easy to wear, easy to use, and the straps are also easy to change and adjust once I got the hang of it.

Ich habe mich sehr gut über euer Produkt informiert und bin trotzdem von vielen Details überrascht. Ich kann nicht glauben, wie viel Liebe zum Detail in diesem Rucksack steckt! Ich möchte meinen größten Respekt für so ein durchdachtes Produkt zeigen. Ich studiere Kommunikationsdesign und weiß wie viel Arbeit in den manchmal unscheinbarsten Dingen steckt, die sich jemand überlegt und die dann einfach intuitiv für möglichst viele Leute funktionieren sollen. Deshalb bin ich umso beeindruckter von dem, was ihr mit dem Wayks One geschaffen habt.
