Why I reviewed the GRAMS28 171 Laptop Sling

The GRAMS28 171 Laptop Sling aims to combine premium materials with a comfortable, structured form for carrying laptops and larger tech gear without the bulk of a backpack. I tested it in daily carry, creative work days, and travel scenarios to evaluate its real-world utility.

Design, materials & build quality

As expected from GRAMS28, the 171 Laptop Sling uses refined leather and high-quality hardware. The design prioritises ease of access and internal organisation while maintaining strong aesthetics.

Compartments and sleeves make it easy to store a laptop, tablet, cables, and accessories in a way that feels deliberate and purposeful, not just crammed in.

Real-world use

During daily use, the Laptop Sling stood out for its balanced weight distribution and comfort, even when carrying heavier tech. It works well in city environments, co-working spaces, and travel days where you need quick access to gear.

It’s neither a bulky backpack nor an oversized shoulder bag — in that middle ground it finds real utility.

What works well — and what to consider

What I like: premium feel, organisation for tech, and comfort for hours of carry.

Worth noting: due to leather construction, it’s not the lightest option — if ultralight carry is your priority, you might consider minimalist slings.
