Love it! Recently took on a trip to South America as an extension of my main travel system to be worn across chest with daily essentials. Absolutely performed when needed. The front portion allowed me to fit a 16oz water bottle if needed to go hands free or allowed me to pack and fold an Arcteryx rain shell with passport, slim battery pack, cables and local currency in the back pocket. Would highly recommend and just the right size. It wears very well for both men and women and allows you to fly under the radar if keeping a low profile is important. Would highly recommend and will keep as a staple in my travel system for years to come. Included next to CAP2 and CAP1 for size comparison. The best!
This is my grab-and-go bag for shoot days and running around town. It's compact, but it holds way more than you'd expect from 2L. Phone, wallet, keys, cards, a small power bank, and earbuds all fit without it bulging.
The two-compartment layout is the best part. The front pocket handles bigger items I need fast, and the back side keeps the small stuff organized so I'm not digging around on set. The main zipper opens wide, so I can see everything at a glance.
It sits comfortably as a sling across my chest or as a hip pack, and stays put even when it's fully loaded. The ballistic nylon feels tough and the olive color looks clean. The loop patch is a nice touch for customizing. Exactly what an everyday sling should be.
Love the CAS2! It's the perfect EDC sling for carrying a small camera along with all your other gear. I am able to store all of my EDC gear in the pocket with all of the organization and my Fuji XM5 in the big dump pocket a long with a nanobag. It's super comfortable and I really enjoy switching between crossbody waist pack. 10/10
I have been using the CAS2 every day since I received it, and it has very quickly become one of those pieces of gear that makes me wonder how I managed without it before.
And I really mean every day. I take it to the office, shopping, traveling, concerts and raves. Whether I am walking, cycling, riding a scooter, taking a bus or traveling by train, it is almost always with me.
For me, the CAS2 has essentially become an extension of my pockets. It holds not only my wallet, but much of what would otherwise be distributed between my pants and jacket pockets — plus quite a bit more. This is probably the biggest change it has made to my everyday carry: instead of constantly deciding what goes into which pocket, I have one compact place for everything.
I also appreciate how easily I can change the carry position depending on the situation. I can wear it on my back when walking or cycling and move it to the front in crowded places. At concerts or raves, wearing it in front also works much better for me than a traditional shoulder bag. It stays close to my body, feels secure, and doesn’t hang at my side where it would constantly bump into other people while dancing.
What makes the CAS2 exceptional, however, is not just the way it carries but its organization. The elongated layout works extremely well. I carry my phone, a wallet, a flat power bank, cigarettes and a lighter, AirPods, and several smaller essentials.
The organization in the smaller compartment is particularly good. The open drop-in pockets give me immediate access to frequently used items, while the three zippered pockets on the opposite side — two smaller mesh pockets and one long pocket — are probably my favorite feature of the entire sling. I use them for medication, Band-Aids, my hearing aid case, Loop ear protection, 3M earplugs, and a small knife. Everything has its place and, most importantly, is securely contained even if I accidentally pick up or open the sling in the wrong orientation.
I also really like the exterior fabric. It feels substantial, durable and premium without making the CAS2 unnecessarily stiff. The wide, well-integrated strap and the overall shape make it comfortable to carry, while the relatively flat profile keeps it from feeling bulky.
My only real limitation is capacity. I tend to carry quite a lot, and 2 liters can become tight very quickly. I would absolutely buy a “CAS2.5” or “CAS3”: essentially this exact sling made a little wider, with around 2.5–3 liters of capacity, while keeping the same internal organization and overall design.
Please don’t change the formula — just give us a little more of it.
For me, the CAS2 is an outstanding everyday sling. It has become part of my daily routine in a remarkably short time, and I now take it almost everywhere.
Great sling. Holds much more than expected but still keeps its unique shape and remains comfortable to wear. I wear it in various ways ( sling loose, sling tight, fanny). Overall, very happy with the purchase.
I purchased the Civic Access Sling 2L to use while exploring on vacation and for everyday trips around town. As a parent of young kids, I've learned it's always helpful to have a few extra essentials within easy reach.
Despite its compact size, it easily carries my phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses, a portable battery, and charging cable, with room left over for all the random things my kids inevitably hand me throughout the day. It's comfortable to wear, keeps everything organized, and makes it easy to access what I need without digging through a backpack.
Purchased for an upcoming trip to London, from first time out of the box it feels sturdy and well-made, like it can stand up to anything, from a long weekend in the city to roughing it on mountain bike trails and everything in between. The type of gear you buy once.
For me, this is a good size. It’s just big enough to get my larger wallet in it, and not be too stuffed/tight. The separate rear compartment is nice to help organize items - separate them from the main compartment.
I can use this to put a few items in, or load it up with more stuff. It doesn’t roll over as bad as some designs when you stuff it full and use it as a waist pack.
The material is VERY nice. This was one of the main reasons I bought this one. The webbing belt is very easy to adjust quickly to go between carrying over a shoulder and using as a waist pack. I’ll quickly move it depending on what I’m doing.
The buckle is nice and secure - it’s not going to accidentally come loose.
Going for a longer walk to take pictures, I can carry a few items, separate them, have a few spare batteries, some lens cloths, put my keys, wallet, maybe a granola bar or something in there.
Overall a little small to stuff a mirror less camera in there, although you can. I just carry it on its own strap.
The rear padding is nice and comfortable.
This was my first one, and ended up buying the 3.5L (used), and the 1L. Wish the 3.5 had the outside material this one has, but then it would be a pretty bulky/heavy pack…. The lighter material on the 3.5 shows dirt more than this one does. THIS one is a great balance between durability/size/weight.
If I ever lose mine, I’ll buy another to replace it.
The cas2 is now my daily carry. I bought it to try because it seemed different from other brands and it absolutely replaced all other slings/waist bags. I carry it both ways and it is very confortable. The fabric and hardware are great, feels very strong. The organisation is well built, simple and effective. I travel a lot so I got the cas1, mhp 3.5 and cap1. Well done Evergoods, great products.
Perfect sling for a day out. Surprisingly roomier, feels bigger than 2L. Great back pocket with organization and big front dump pocket that fits a lot.
Love the ability to use as a sling or hip pack. Feels more spacious than a2.5 L sling I have. I really like the ballistic nylon fabric; it looks and feels great.
The absolute perfect companion to my xpac CTB20. I love the coyote brown interior and I got a custom made coyote brown patch. Check out AlpinHound on Etsy to create your own. I’m considering swapping out the duraflex buckle for a AustriAlpin cobra buckle also in Coyote Brown which I think would really make it pop!
This bag is perfect. It’s surprisingly large inside, I always feel like Mary Poppins with how much I can fit. And the internal organization is 👌🏻 there’s little pockets for all your essentials, close to your body for security.
Am I a sling guy? I wasn't sure. Grabbed this bag for a 10 days / 2 cities European trip and it was absolutely dynamite. Fit just enough - including emergency rain shell which came in handy by the north sea a bunch times - never too much. Not heavy. Very comfortable to carry. Passport secure. Loved it. I’m a sling guy. 5/5.
Really like the design of this. I much prefer this approach of having a tighter pocket close to the body with a bigger compartment in the front compared to how most slings seem to do it.
I thought I would use it daily, but turns out I'd rather use pockets or a backpack for more items. That said, this is really ideal for a 1.5 bag travel situation, where I'll pair this with a travel backpack.
Can't leave the house without it. Feels almost essential these days. Other then that, feels quality, and comfortable even after long walks. Good starter size for EDC.
Perfect fit, but needs a longer strap. The CAS2L is almost the perfect sling. It is incredibly lightweight and, true to Evergoods' reputation, the contouring is spot on. It hugs the body comfortably whether I’m wearing it high on the chest or on my back. The 2L size is the "Goldilocks" zone (not too bulky, but holds all the essentials).
My only complaint is the strap length. It’s a bit too short, which makes it feel tight if you’re wearing a heavy jacket or have a broader frame. I really hope Evergoods considers making the strap longer in future versions or offering a branded extender for purchase. If the strap were just 6–10 inches longer, this would be 5 Stars.
Incredible burly and high-quality small sling. The rear admin compartment is probably my favourite of any sling, but I didn't love the larger main compartment as much due to the crescent shape and the possibility for smaller things to fall out when worn diagonally (if you store larger/softer things here, you should be fine though). As a stand-alone item it was great and functional, but I like to pack my slings inside other bags, and for that the shape wasn't the most efficient. I would also say that this sling has a high degree of "visual bulk" for its capacity (which I think ties in to the aesthetic it's going for, I guess it's just not what I prefer).
I picked this up from a small store in Japan and didn’t expect to like it as much as I do. It sits close to the body and moves with you instead of bouncing around (i wear it high and tight), which matters more than I thought for daily carry. Access is fast and intuitive for phone, wallet, and keys. Perfect for keeping a light, intentional EDC.
I use this every single day. I've packed it to the brim while traveling, and sometimes it just carries my wallet and phone. Just the right amount of organization. The only modification I made was add a nylon loop to the outside so I can attach various things.
Having owned several slings, I can safely say that the CAS outperforms all of them in terms of comfort and carry capabilities. Its ergonomic form factor means that not only does the sling sit very well on body or hip but that access to the compartments are a breeze and easy to open (even one handed). Organisation within is just right for my use case as I am not easily inundated with a myriad of smaller slip pockets or compartments as with other brands.
This all makes for a very easy and quick and hassle free wearing and use experience and the CAS has since become my everyday go to.
Not much to say it’s well made amazing detail to design.
My only complaint is shipping to Canada with duties it’s almost the same price as the product.
I got one of these bad boys for those days out where I don't want a backpack, but I don't want to carry crap in my hands either. Perfect size for a couple of little ditty bags, spare batteries, one or two compact cameras and sunglasses - the pass through pocket is great for a light hoodie or raincoat. Great travel companion.
Purchased the Sling to carry things for my wife. It’s become an everyday necessity when I leave the house. Well built, holds everything I need and more, 10/10 would recommend to any husband and father!
I've tried many slings. What I live about the CAS2 is the attention to the build geometry. The shape makes it curve around my body better than others. Storage is great. Love the large area for quick larger items and plenty of storage in the second pocket. Also love that the buckle is to one side. COB X-pac buckle is in the middle which i dont like. I only wish is there was some anchor points for hanging things like sanitizer or small pouches. Still great straight forward edc bag.
I stupidly bought another sling before this one, and I found I didn’t use it consistently. I liked the idea of a sling, so did the right thing and went with this one. I now use it all the time. The size and layout make this bag very functional and perfect for emptying the pockets plus a little more. It is comfortable to wear and low profile. This bag has cemented my opinion of Evergoods as the maker of the most functional bags.
I fabric is great. Some of the best out there. The size to space ratio is perfect. It carries just enough relieve your pockets without allowing you to carry too much and become cumbersome.
I wear this as a crossbody sling when I travel or walk around town and I use one when cycling since it sits comfortably on my lower back while I ride.
The buckle placement is nice and the strap management is decent. I end up with some bulk near the buckle when I wear it as a fanny pack since it’s pretty tight and there’s a lot of extra strap but that’s not really a problem as a sling.
I have the ballistic nylon and X-PAC versions and both have their use in my opinion. I like the X-PAC for cycling since it’s more protected from rain but I love the feel of the ballistic nylon.
I love that this bag works both as a fanny pack and sling. I'm a fanny pack nerd, but I find myself using this as a sling more often. Definitely use it as a fanny pack when I'm walking my dog. I love the space and pocket configurations. It fits everything I need.
The 'phone' pocket is a tad small for many modern phones, but more of a nitpick. This is an otherwise excellent sling with great organization and a surprising capacity for it's size.
Very nice little hip pack/sling/fanny pack. If you're on the fence of getting one I highly recommend it. This material is more malleable than the Ultra and X-pac so keep that in mind when you go shopping the different CAS 2 materials. I absolutely loved using this one when I used it ( I now use the Ultra version ) but absolutely fantastic nonetheless.
