Why I reviewed the GRAMS28 172 Camera Sling Bag

The GRAMS28 172 Camera Sling Bag aims to combine premium build quality with practical camera-friendly organisation. I tested it in daily use, travel walks and shoot days to see how well it supports creative carry setups with gear.

Design, materials & build quality

Consistent with the GRAMS28 aesthetic, the 172 is built with beautifully tactile leather and refined stitching. Its structure keeps contents secure and protected without feeling stiff.

Leather and hardware feel premium, while compartment layout strikes a good balance between minimalist and functional.

Real-world use

In everyday use, this sling comfortably fits a compact camera, spare batteries, SD cards, phone and small accessories. The ergonomics are friendly, with easy access on the go.

The strap and sling positioning make it comfortable during long walks and shoot days. Organisation pockets help separate essentials and reduce internal clutter.

What works well — and what to consider

What I like: premium materials, camera-centric layout, and comfortable carry.

Worth noting: for heavier kits or larger lenses, a backpack or larger sling may still be more appropriate.
