Modern Dayfarer, a brand specializing in minimalist carry, has announced the launch of the Active Sling Pack, an ultra-sleek hybrid backpack that was designed to accommodate both the gym and work.
"The main reason I made the Active Sling Pack was because I wanted a smaller bag which I can go to the gym with and carries my gym essentials, but also my iPad Pro (in a separate compartment) in case I have to do some work on the go," explained the Founder of Modern Dayfarer, David Hundertmark.
As a result, the Active Sling Pack arrives with some great hybrid-focused features. For example, the bag comes equipped with a VX21 exterior that is both durable and waterproof. While on the inside, the bag features a 210D Ripstop Nylon lining that is treated with a water-resistant coating, ensuring users can keep their gym and work items separate and dry.
