Both essentially have the same function: to carry bulky items with comfort and accessibility in mind. However, messenger bags have the bulky items part as a priority (generally free form or loosely rectangular) while sling bags have accessibility in mind . Hence, their smaller, more easily portable size and ability to slide from back to front without removing the bag. As a rule of thumb, messenger bags are heavy-duty while sling bags/backpacks are more casual-use.

Look for the cubic inch measurement when buying either; it denotes the amount of space inside. A regular jansport back pack is 1550 cu. in. For college, try 2300 cu. in. instead. Alternatively, you can also look for the three measurements (lwh) and calculate the vol. yourself.

What is the difference between a swath and a sling?

A sling is used to hold and support an injured limb, typically an arm. However, on its own, a sling does not restrict movement in all directions. A second securement - known as a swath, is therefore used. In the context of an arm sling, a swath is a piece of cloth wrapped over the sling and humerus, around the torso and under the opposite shoulder. This reduces movement of the injured arm in the transverse plane much better than with the sling alone.
