Gear up for any journey with our expandable Hemp Sling Bag. Modular and Versatile for any occasion.
Check on Kickstarter
Four years ago, our hemp backpacks launched on Kickstarter and over 10,000 backers helped turn them into a worldwide success. Since then, we’ve kept listening, testing, and improving how people carry their essentials every day. Now, we’re bringing that same experience and feedback into something smaller, smarter and built for movement.
After months of real-world testing and countless prototypes, 8000Kicks is proud to introduce the Travel Sling, designed for secure carry and instant access, wherever you go.
Featuring an expandable design, smart internal organization and our most durable, weather-resistant hemp fabric yet.

Your day isn’t always the same and your bag shouldn’t be either. The Travel Sling expands when you need extra room and stays compact when you don’t. Carry your everyday essentials like your phone, wallet, passport, charger, sunglasses or a water bottle. When things change, open it up. When they don’t, keep it slim and light.
Smart space, right where you need it.
Stay hydrated on the go.
The Travel Sling features a dedicated water bottle pocket inside, designed for quick access without digging through your bag.
Always close. Always protected.
The hidden back pocket sits flush against your body, keeping your most valuable items secure and out of sight. Perfect for your phone, passport, wallet or cards.
Easy for you to access, hard for anyone else to reach.
Quick access, without the worry.
The front pocket is lined with a soft, anti-scratch interior to keep your sunglasses, phone or other delicate items protected at all times.
Magnetic snaps make it easy to open and close in seconds, secure enough to stay shut, effortless when you need quick access.
Travel light, move freely.
The Travel Sling is designed to keep your essentials close, secure and easy to access while you’re on the move. Carry your passport, phone, wallet and travel essentials without digging through a backpack or overloading your pockets.
Compact, expandable, and worn close to the body, it’s the kind of bag you forget you’re wearing, until you need it.
The front pocket uses magnetic snaps that open effortlessly and close securely, so your essentials stay in place, without slowing you down. Easy to open with one hand, strong enough to stay shut while you’re moving. Perfect for items you reach for often, like your phone, sunglasses or wallet.
Fast in. Safe out.
The expandable buckles allow the sling to adapt as the load changes, keeping everything secure whether the bag is fully compressed or expanded. They help distribute weight evenly, reduce bulk when carrying less, and maintain the sling’s shape when carrying more. Durable hardware ensures a firm lock-in feel, with smooth adjustment that holds throughout the day.
The reinforced top handle is designed for frequent use, with extra stitching and structural reinforcement to handle daily wear without losing its shape. A premium engraved logo adds a refined touch, while the solid construction provides a confident grip whenever you need to grab and go.
A discreet rear strap lets you slide the bag securely onto your carry-on, keeping it stable, balanced and hands-free as you move through airports and stations.
The external gear hooks allow you to carry items that don’t need to go inside the bag. Perfect for things like a tripod or an umbrella, keeping them secure and easy to reach while you’re on the move.
You don’t get to choose the weather, but you can choose what you carry.
The Travel Sling is built to handle sudden rain, dust and everyday exposure, keeping your essentials protected while you move.
Made with durable hemp fibers and a water-resistant finish, it helps shield your phone, wallet, passport and daily carry from the elements.
Because when you’re on the move, the last thing you should worry about is what the weather is doing to your belongings.
Hemp isn’t just sustainable, it’s incredibly strong.
So strong, in fact, that Henry Ford once built a car using hemp-based materials.
He believed natural fibers could outperform traditional ones in strength, flexibility, and durability, decades before sustainability was even a conversation.
That same philosophy lives in our hemp fabric today.
Naturally tough, resistant to wear and built to handle daily use, travel, and everything in between.
This isn’t a trend material.
It’s a proven one.
