I need a little more storage." I want to carry my tablet and camera with me." But not too big."
Many people may have difficulty finding a model that meets their requirements for a sling bag.
NAYO SMART Three sling bags released by theUrban UL1/Herman H3/Herman HL1--The "M" is a greedy specification that combines lightness and "itchy" gimmickry in the same room.
The UL1 swallows a full-size camera with its thick 6L gusset, the H3 smartly organizes a tablet and a folding umbrella, and the minimalist HL1 can be taken out as a pocket.
Although it is a new brand from Singapore, it was remarkable for its size, function, and quality, which are not easily found elsewhere, as well as for its reasonable pricing.
We will review three sling bags, summarizing their features and recommended uses!

NAYO SMART｜A Singaporean brand that is growing rapidly with its cost performance and creative gimmicks
NAYO SMART is an up-and-coming bag brand registered in Singapore in 2023.
D2C direct sales cut out intermediate costs and condensed high functionality into a reasonable price range.
The exterior is minimalistic while incorporating hidden gimmicks such as NA-TEX™, a unique water and oil repellent fabric, and FIDLOCK® magnets to "get to the itch". The UL1/H3/HL1 became a hit by word-of-mouth, and the high cost performance and functionality of these products have expanded the fan base.

NAYO SMART｜UL1 Sling
Product Features
200 D NA-TEX™ water-repellent nylon + SBS watertight zipper for rainy weather
6 L thick gusset with overwhelming capacity to accommodate up to a full-size mirrorless camera
38 mm wide strap & back padding for less weight
Drawcord + buckle for expansion but limited use
The UL1 is a sling with the illusion of "Mantis 2 in appearance but 6L in actual capacity. Thanks to its thickness, it has the capacity to hold a full-size camera, wallet, and even a 500 ml bottle, and has a reputation among camera users as "the definitive sub-camera bag.
6L size fits full size mirrorless + EDC items
On the other hand, the side pockets are not deep enough to hold an umbrella or tripod. Nevertheless, models with built-in cushioning and watertight zippers are rare in this price range, and should appeal to those who want to pack their EDC in one bag.
User Reviews
Perfect for a camera companion. A full-size camera with lens easily fits in it."
It's a great travel companion, with an illusory amount of storage space."
"Lots of padding and the peace of mind of being able to throw my gear in naked."
The side pockets are hard to use...long umbrellas and tripods stick out...difficult to find a use for them."
'Design-wise, there are a lot of external straps, and tastes differ.'
NA-TEX™ parachute fabric + watertight zipper on all sides
Sleeve for 11″ tablet + 6L body for both work and city walking
Removable stabilizer belt prevents shaking on a bicycle
Unique gimmick that can easily hold a 500 ml bottle or a folded umbrella
H3 has a "messenger-style" horizontal silhouette. The thin gusset and large opening make it easy to insert and remove documents and tablets, and the flap and FIDLOCK clasp provide extra security.
Action cams, condensers, tablets, etc.A folding umbrella + 500 ml plastic bottle is Fits in a hidden pocket
The ability to separately store umbrellas and bottles in the stretch pockets is particularly attractive.
With a three-point strap, it is comfortable for commuting by bicycle. However, thick SLR cameras and large lenses tend to be too tight, so if you are mainly using a camera, UL1 is a safe choice.
User Reviews
The hidden pockets are too convenient for umbrella storage."
The stabilizer belt keeps it in place and comfortable while riding."
I can afford an 11 inch iPad Pro with a case."
The lack of thickness makes a full-size camera a tough sell."
The back brackets sometimes hit my body when the luggage is full."
Box-shaped, self-supporting, compact, but not out of shape
Front FIDLOCK for one-handed access and pockets on both sides
The HL1 is the smallest of the three models, but is packed with gimmicky features such as the FIDLOCK flap and left and right pockets, making it ideal for those who want to carry a GR3 or iPad mini + EDC in a minimalist way.
Foldable umbrella, 500ml plastic bottle fits just right
It is box-shaped and freestanding, making it excellent as a sub-bag or bag-in-a-bag. However, the straps are fixed and not interchangeable. If you want to carry thicker gear such as a full-size camera, the UL1 is more suitable.
User Reviews
It's boxy, so it doesn't fall over when placed on a desk, making it convenient for photography."
The back pocket is made of raised material, so you can put your phone in there naked without worry."
The design is cute and easy to match with street clothes."
It's a shame the straps can't be removed and changed from side to side."
We'll have to give up on the SLR + lenses due to capacity."
