      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.

      Main Fabric

      • 100% Polyester (91% recycled, 100% for the Sleek Black version)
      • 600 x 600 Denier
      • PFC-free coating (outside) and PU coating (inside) for waterproofing
      • Sourced from bluesign® System Partner
      Lining
      • 100% Polyester (100% recycled), 150 x 150 Denier
      • PFC-free coating (outside) and PU coating (inside) for waterproofing

      Zippers
      • Outside: Durable YKK Natulon® luggage coil zippers (partly recycled)

      Does the sand colour get dirty easily?
      No, it does not stain easily, however, dark stains are more visible than on the black version. Good to clean. Fine for everyday use. Attach rain cover when exposed to heavy rain, dirt, oil or dust. (read more)

      How should I clean the WayksOne?
      We recommend hand wash only. If necessary use gentle soap and brush. Dry well. (read more)

      Purchase of the year!

      Best purchase of the year! Perfect addition to an already great backpack (best one I've ever had, 3 years and counting), and a great stand alone product as well! High quality all the way through every stitch, plus it's made of some highly durable fabric. I love the fact that the sling has so many different uses, and it has become my trusted companion from everything to grocery shopping, city rambling, hiking and even running (with the small **** pack). If something ever would happen that I would loose it or something I would buy a new one in an instant. Can highly recommend!

      Absolutely love the sling

      It is my go to bag, I have autism and need to bring extra stuff sometimes. But when I just go for a walk I just only need a small bag. I always hated to lose everything with using so many bags and this sling does it all. I actually use the backpack mode the most. The quality is amazing! I chose the color sand keep in mind it’s more yellow then off white. At first i did not like it at all but not I actually love the color since you don’t see hairs or dust on it at all. Overal I would really recommend this bag for people that, like to travel light for just 1 night I used it for that too! Or as an everyday bag.

      Super!

      Awesome bag, works very well both as a crossbody and as a backpack with the additional straps. My new favourite for trips as a daybag. :) Seems also very durable and weather-resistant.

      Mega praktisch

      Ich hab mit der Sling Kombo die perfekte Tasche zum Verreisen gefunden. Während des Tages kann ich darin alles Wichtige verstauen (und durch den hinteren Reißversvhluss komme ich an alles schnell ran und meine Einkäufe finden durch das Auffalten ebenso Platz. Abends reicht dann die kleine Version. Ich bin absolut begeistert und happy!

      Empfehlung: Gleich die zusätzlichen Straps dazubestellen.

      Great customer service & high quality material

      I want to start off with congratulating the WAYKS team for their customer service! When receiving the package with the travel backpack, the cube (bottom part) was missing. Only I did not realize this at the time. But because I mainly bought the backpack because it also contained a hip-belt (which was missing as it is part of the cube), I wrote them a message on Instagram. It was actually Fabian who came to the constructive conclusion that the entire cube was missing and quickly arranged everything so I now have all the pieces.

      Regarding the sling: it's cool and comfortable, although it could use some smaller pockets on the inside. Now all the things are all together, but I prefer to have some pockets to put smaller items in. Overall I am still very pleased, as you can fit your jacket in there and when taking the jacket out, you can fold it so it still stays stylish and comfortable to wear.

      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.
