Why I reviewed the GRAMS28 173 Vertical Sling

The GRAMS28 173 Vertical Sling is built to balance lightweight convenience with thoughtful organisation. My goal with this review was to see how it handles everyday carry, city walks, and creative workflows where easy access and smart organisation matter.

Design, materials & build quality

Like other GRAMS28 pieces, the 173 uses premium leather and refined construction. Its vertical shape provides a unique organisation layout, ideal for quick-access items and clean separation of essentials.

The stitching, leather quality, and hardware all feel robust, giving the sling both structure and longevity without compromising mobility.

Real-world use

In daily use, the Vertical Sling shines when you want an effortless grab-and-go carry. It fits essentials like phone, wallet, cables, and compact camera gear without bulk, and its vertical orientation makes accessing contents intuitive.

Whether wandering through the city or moving from creative task to task, the sling stays comfortable and purposeful.

What works well — and what to consider

What I like: vertical layout for quick access, premium materials, and comfortable daily wear.

Worth noting: if you need larger capacity, a backpack or wider sling might be a better fit.
