Travel Advantage | Airline Regulations – Commuting & Wilderness Travel

If you’re already sick of hearing about the iPad, then reading about an iPad bag probably isn’t your idea of fun. But maybe you’re just excited enough about Apple’s new tablet that you want to think about what kind of snazzy carrier you’ll slip it in when you’re on the go. For you, then, Magnetism Studios has announced a pair of sleeves, a Sling and an Envelope.

A sling bag is a type of bag that is worn over one shoulder with a strap that winds around the chest resting the bag on the lower back. Although they are similar to a messenger bag, sling bags are often smaller.

Sling bags are for people that need to have their hands free to carry other items and are constantly on the move. You can use a sling bag to carry your laptop, books for school and traveling. Sizes vary for the sling bags, so you will need to choose which size will best fit your needs. One smaller to carry your personal items or larger for school and travel.

Selecting the right size is only one consideration, choosing which material the sling is made from is the next choice. Sling bags are made of 600d polyester, 420 jacquard, canvas, leather and nylon.
You want to choose which type of material depending on the weight of the items, choosing a bag with sturdier material for heavier weight and thinner material for lighter weight items.

Also consider the strap width when selecting a sling bag. Do you need a strap that is adjustable, this allows you to shorten or lengthen for better comfort.  The wider straps tend to be more comfortable and won’t dig into your shoulder, while skinny straps may break and cause shoulder pain.

Most sling bags have inside hidden pockets that are zippered to hold personal items and outside pockets for carrying your cell phone, water bottles and other personal items.  Some even have an organizer pocket inside its front zip pocket for a PDA, cards, pens & notes.
