View my personal GRAMS28 creator discount →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.
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.
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 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.
