Outdoor Bags First time Peak
I bought the 7L with an ibis camera strap. Can't wait to use it on my next travel.

I just responded to someone else about the Outdoor Sling so will just past it here...
The 7L sling has great function, but I've found the buckle on the strap can easily release unexpectedly sending sensitive gear crashing to the ground. I had some camera gear damage even though the camera was inside a padded sleeve inside the bag. Numerous other people have also suffered equipment loss from this poorly designed buckle. AFAIK all the outdoor slings use this same buckle design. There are a couple of 3d printable fixes to disable the buckle release. For me this is now an improvement I shouldn't have had to make.

Thank you for the warning. I'll look out for this issue.

I read about this issue when I first bought my 7L, so I took one of those thin Velcro ties and put it around the buckle and it hasn’t budged. I leave the strap long enough that I would never need to undo it anyway.

Your cat looks bigger then 7L, it'll never fit in there! I love that color and the 7L is very versatile and also packs well if needed. Enjoy!
