| sling bag with hip straps
Another problem with the sling bag, is that it tends to slide off the shoulder when you move around a lot, unless you hold onto the strap with one hand. When climbing mountains, it is really nice to have both hands free.
I use the Lowepro fastpack 350, which has a sling type feature (side access), and also hip straps (very comfortable to distribute weight on long hikes). I had to modify the shoulder straps to lengthen mine (I'm tall, and the straps were too short to allow the hip pads to rest on my hip). It has plenty of padded room inside, and non-padded area on top.
