Good sling bags for men?
Avoid the minimalist fashion slings with glued strap anchors first because those peel fast and fall apart before you know it. Finding a sling that won’t blow out in a year is harder than it should be... it’s messy trying to sort through all the cheap ones. And the strap hardware. Cheap bags use zinc pot metal buckles that crack if you look at them wrong so try to get something with acetal or stainless hardware with no seams because that stuff stays reliable and you won’t be fiddling with repairs all the time and it just works in daily use Stiching matters more than whatever logo they slapped on it, so look for bartacks at the strap points and bound interior seams instead of raw edges. If you want actual models that aren't trash, the Tom Bihn Side Kick and the Mystery Ranch Full Moon are solid picks.

Good sling bags for men?
I picked up a Tom Bihn Side Kick earlier this summer and I love it. All my other TB stuff is great, so I have no doubts about durability on new pieces. TB commenters spare me with concerns about some bags being made in Vietnam.

[Request] Cross body bag - gender neutral style, large enough to fit e-reader and small EDC stuff?
I just bought a Tom Bihn Side Kick because I love the ever-growing stockpile of Tom Bihn stuff around my house.

What is a BIFL item/product you recommend?
I’ve got a Tom Bihn side kick bag for sale 😂 definitely bifl just don’t buy too many like me…not sure if it will be bifl but I use my aeropress daily and have for the past few years and it’s in great shape, they make a glass/metal version now and that’s probably what I will get if mine was to break. My Briggs Riley suitcase has a lifetime warranty and I have been very impressed with it so far, I have the two wheeled cabin bag and use Thule compression cubes that are very sturdy and might be as close to bifl as you can get for compression cubes.
