However, the vertical orientation (and its internal format) has another benefit: superior organization. While horizontal bags can be frustratingly shallow — things can even fall out when you go fishing for them — this bag offers more security in its depth.
Mate that to its numerous pockets, both internal and external, and you’ll want for nothing organization-wise. Of course, that’s just one of its many excellent value propositions.
Speed and security, synergized
Because of its orientation, the Street Sling lends itself to a flip-top closure. This offers increased security, especially when paired with its Fidlock buckle. It also makes accessing the bag’s contents incredibly quick when needed.
For those not in the know, Fidlocks are magnetic buckling systems that, when secured, are extremely solid. However, with a tug on the attached cord in the right direction, they’re also quick-release, making them super speedy and convenient, as well.
