Bulky pockets are a thing of the past. The hip pack—now universally worn as a crossbody sling—has cemented itself as the most important accessory in modern streetwear and active living. It is the perfect middle ground when you have too much gear for your pockets, but not enough to justify a full backpack. At The Drop, our Hip Packs & Sling Bags collection brings together the best brands in action sports and lifestyle apparel for ultimate hands-free utility.
Streetwear & Skate Staples: Nike SB & Herschel
When it comes to navigating the city or hitting the skatepark, you need quick access to your phone, wallet, and keys. Nike SB delivers durable, street-ready slings built to stay flush against your body while you push, featuring heavy-duty zippers and iconic branding. Herschel Supply Co. brings their signature heritage aesthetic to the crossbody game, offering clean, classic silhouettes in a massive variety of colors that pair perfectly with any everyday fit.
Premium Activewear: Vuori
Blurring the lines between high-end athleisure and daily utility, Vuori creates some of the sleekest technical packs on the market. Constructed from ultra-soft, performance-driven nylons, these slings are incredibly lightweight and breathable. They are the absolute perfect companion for a light jog, a hike, or a travel day where comfort and minimalist aesthetics are the priority.
Mountain & Action Sports Heritage: Dakine & Burton
When your adventures take you off the pavement, you need gear that can take a beating. Forged in snowboarding and mountain biking culture, Dakine and Vans deliver rugged hip packs built from weather-resistant ripstop materials. Featuring micro-fleece lined pockets to protect your sunglasses, secure key clips, and slightly larger volume capacities, these packs are built to carry a packable windbreaker or trail snacks alongside your daily essentials.
