Larger Than a Traditional Sling, Smaller Than a Backpack, New Sling XL Adds Next-Level Versatility to HEX’s Ranger Collection of Discreet, Street-Ready DSLR Bags

HEX, the award-winning fashion accessory brand, introduces the all-new Ranger Sling XL, expanding its range of discreet, street-ready DSLR / camera bags for which the brand is known.

To develop the Sling XL, HEX worked hand-in-hand with photographers and reflected customer feedback, crafting an entirely new design from the ground up. The new Sling XL is extremely versatile within the Ranger lineup – larger than a traditional sling yet smaller than a backpack – and can fit a 13-inch laptop, multiple bodies, lenses, a drone and more, and can even be custom-configured to fit a change of clothes for weekend trips.

Trent Valladares, HEX Founder and CEO

“The Ranger Collection conveys the essence of HEX as a brand: functional, sharp, and street-ready styles that are all designed with feedback from creators, and we’re really excited to be introducing a new level of versatility with the Sling XL. “A key feature of the new sling is the padded compartment that accommodates a 13-inch laptop, a huge deal for a bag with such a small footprint. We’ve also incorporated our patented Clamshell zipper system, which allows for multiple access zones depending on preference. The Ranger Sling XL is a really unique size that we think photographers will find perfect for mid-size carry needs. We are super proud of this bag and believe it is the gold standard of slings”

Beautiful inside and out, the Ranger Sling XL features a generous organizer on the outside with the brand’s signature faux-fur lined phone pocket. The back is padded air-mesh for breathability and there are cinch straps on the bottom for a tripod or jacket. Inside features EVA padded dividers that can be configured to fit every photographer’s needs.

All of these features are wrapped up in a water-resistant, ballistic nylon Sling – complete with a hideaway rainfly for even more weather protection.

The Ranger Sling XL is proof of HEX’s ability to bridge the gap between fashion and tech-driven functionality, drawing on decades of experience in art and culture and channeling that to equip the next generation of creators.
