The Sling Bag is carried on the back, but with a single, contoured and padded cross-chest strap rather than two shoulder straps. Movable padded walls within the bag allow the "quick-draw" compartment to be fitted precisely to the main camera/lens combination, and also create additional spaces for extra bodies, lenses, and accessories.
