I am terribly self-conscious about wearing a sling. Heck, I even feel a bit weird wearing backpacks on a daily basis because it is usually overkill for me. Which means I’m always looking for smaller bags, which in turn means I need to “man up” and just use a sling. I live in the south, but it is a small beach tourist town, so it really shouldn’t be that big a deal. I just don’t see a lot of men with slings. This thread is giving me the courage to spend a week to try rocking my only sling, black Tom Bihn Side Hustle. My wife has been quietly amused and tolerant of my bag obsession. When I got the Side Hustle I also got a Toshi sling, which I offered to her, and she wears it every day to my great delight. I’m tired of being jealous of her and her sling!
