The Outdoor Adventure Slinger — How to Use It for Hiking, Travel and Day Trips

The Outlaw II works beautifully as a day-hike pack for shorter trails and nature walks where you don't need a full 40-liter setup.

Use the main compartment for a packable rain jacket, snacks, a basic first-aid kit, and a trail map. Load the rear hydration pocket with a 2-liter reservoir. The MOLLE webbing on the exterior lets you clip a carabiner with keys, a small light, or a dry bag to the outside of the pack.

Pro tip for outdoor use: The stabilizer chest strap on the Outlaw II clips across your chest to keep the sling from swinging — this is especially useful on uneven terrain where you're actively moving and don't want the pack shifting around. Clip it every time you hit the trail.

How to Use It for Travel

For urban travel and city exploration, the Outlaw II is practically perfect. It's compact enough to squeeze under an airplane seat or into an overhead bin without any drama. The sling carry style keeps the pack in front of you in crowded spaces like metro stations, markets, and tourist areas — an excellent passive security measure.

Use the main compartment for your travel essentials: a change of clothes, travel documents in a slim folder, and your chargers. Keep your passport, local currency, and phone in the outer quick-access pocket where you can reach them in a second at border crossings or ticket counters.

Pro tip for travel: When exploring a new city on foot, wear the Outlaw II over one shoulder, sling-style. Rotate it to your front whenever you enter a crowded space. You'll have eyes on your gear at all times without looking like a nervous tourist.

The Outlaw II Gear Slinger is a genuinely well-thought-out piece of everyday carry gear that adapts from the office to the trail to an international flight without missing a beat.

The quick-access sling carry is addictive once you experience it. You'll wonder how you ever put up with a regular backpack.
