He highlighted the sling’s clean aesthetic, especially the Blue Haze colorway (4:52), and appreciated how refined it looks while still being practical for daily use. From materials to layout, the Daily Mini Sling stood out as an easy-to-like, grab-and-go carry option.
Thoughtful Design and Materials
Outen the Lights praised the sling’s simple but well-executed design. The front pocket is lined with microfiber (5:06), making it ideal for protecting sunglasses or small cameras. Quality YKK zippers (5:39) and subtle Allett branding (5:45) add to the refined feel without calling unnecessary attention to the bag.
The main compartment features dual zippers for access from either side (5:54), making it easy to get to your gear no matter how you are wearing it. Inside, the sling includes one open pocket and two performance mesh pockets for accessories (6:06), plus a padded divider and back panel for electronics protection.
A built-in key leash keeps keys secure and easy to find, and the dedicated slot for a micro pen (6:35 to 7:18) was called out as a “super cool” and genuinely useful touch, especially for travel or quick notes on the go.
Strap and Carry
The adjustable strap features sturdy hardware and sits comfortably when worn. Outen the Lights also noted that the zipper placement under the strap adds an extra layer of security, acting as a subtle deterrent against theft when worn close to the body.
