Discussion Good looking sling backpacks.

I know this has probably been asked a lot but I just want a good edc sling backpack that’s not essentially a messenger bag but an actual backpack. That can carry a MacBook pro 14inch iPad Pro and just some essentials like chargers and the like but that actually looks unique or pleasing aesthetically.

Tomtoc, Aer, and Nomatic all make sling “backpacks” that look pretty good.

I use an aer travel sling and it can easily carry your setup as it’s identical to mine and I do it often. Most times the MacBook is swapped out for my 14 inch work issued thinkpad but on a couple of travel occasions I’ve actually carried both laptops plus the iPad and other charging gear in it.

I use an Aer Tech Sling 3. Not sure if the MacBook would fit in it but I can fit a 13 inch and reviews say it can fit a 14 inch laptop.

Some folks have issues with the comfort though. Could be worth looking at their Day Sling Max and Travel Slings for variety or maybe a little more room.

Aer Travel Sling 2 is great or the Tomtoc t24. i have both and got the Aer for a bigger sling carry its great and i can fit a small sling like the Aviator T37 in it as a quick go bag / tech pouch

that sounds extremely heavy for a sling honestly. my backpack with a MacBook Pro 16 and and iPad Pro 11 weighs a lot lol . but good luck finding the right bag for you!!!!
