[@UncommonEDC]

I really appreciate that, definitely more to come. Thanks for watching! 👊🏼⚔️

[@j.w.9407]

Just ordered mine a few days ago; same color as yours. Excited to try it out.

[@UncommonEDC]

Nice, hope you enjoy it!! Thanks for checking it out!

[@stevesgear]

The color on the v2 is fire! Noticed that brass Oclip on the side, definitely a killer combo with the green!

[@UncommonEDC]

Agreed, it’s a great color combo! Appreciate you taking a look!! 👊🏼⚔️

[@SurvivingtheDaily]

Whoa!! That detachable keychain is a nice added option!

[@UncommonEDC]

It is, probably my favorite upgrade from v1 to v2. Appreciate you taking a look! 👊🏼👊🏼

[@Every.one.]

[@TBEDC]

The materials on this are super solid..you can’t go wrong with Alpaka..

[@UncommonEDC]

Agreed! 💯

[@1977NOBODY]

I prefer the go sling mini…..That’s going to be my edc bag for 2024👍🏻I usually change wallets several times a year😂Bags I usually stick with one for a whole year.. I also ordered another go sling mini last night in the special edition black,And I used your 15% off code

[@UncommonEDC]

Good choice, I’m going to have to check that one out next. I also want to look at the nano and max, too many choices haha. Thanks for watching and for using my code!! 👊🏼⚔️

[@Aericisme]

V2👍👌

[@CarryCulturePodcast]

Nice sling ! Looks useful 🙌🏼 Great overview

[@UncommonEDC]

Thanks! It’s a great size with a nice layout. Appreciate you checking it out brotha! 👊🏼⚔️

[@vanquestgear]

The mordax as the clacker in the beginning is 🤌🏻🤌🏻

[@UncommonEDC]

Thanks, I thought that would be a fun addition!

[@hellohogo]

You do an excellent job on these videos

[@UncommonEDC]

Thanks, I appreciate that!! 👊🏼

[@edc4fun]

Cool bag. Lots of space and utility

[@UncommonEDC]

Agreed, I like the size on this one. Thanks for checking it out! 👊🏼⚔️

[@EDCQ]

Very nice bag! Well done!

[@UncommonEDC]

Thanks so much, appreciate you checking it out! 👊🏼⚔️

[@jeremyspaulding7735]

Seems like an awesome pack. Great video 👍

[@UncommonEDC]

It definitely is, thanks for checking it out! 👊🏼👊🏼

[@bayshark7o7]

Need take 1 - 26! Nice sling man! Wish straps were removable but still great

[@UncommonEDC]

Haha I should’ve save a few bloopers but already deleted them off the memory card to save space.

[@bayshark7o7]

@@UncommonEDC I have the tech case mini. Thinking of getting regular size tech case since straps come off and like the accordion design opening 🤔

[@AIioton]

I don't know it's only on the video yes or no. I noticed that you secure the clip by moving it along the guides on the sides. But the magnets in it allow you to conveniently do this by superimposing one on top of the other.

[@UncommonEDC]

You are correct, I am in the habit of sliding it because I think you need to in order to disengage that clip but you can definitely just line it up and drop it in to secure the clip.

[@TBEDC]

I actually didn’t like the regular Bravo Sling..I gave it away tbh..I’m more of a Go Sling Mini dude..great video..good to see you on cam bro!

[@UncommonEDC]

Haha a nice gift at least, I’ll have to check out the mini. I was actually looking at the max too. Still not super comfortable in front of the camera but trying to get used to it haha, appreciate you watching! 👊🏼⚔️

[@mikeydailycarry]

Sick bag bro! I got the go sling mini and the mcb go sling

[@UncommonEDC]

Thanks, I’ve been seeing a lot of love for the mini so definitely gonna need to check that out. Appreciate you watching!! 👊🏼⚔️

[@michaelwirtz5420]

Good Review. I still wonder how such bags are supposed to stay in the upper position without an additional strap to prevent them from slipping. Gravity should move it to your left hip.

[@UncommonEDC]

Thanks, it seems to stay put as long as you have the strap tighter and close to the chest. You definitely can wear it lower toward your hip though, especially if you keep the strap lower. I think they intend for you to wear it on your homie though hence no stabilization strap. Approach you checking out the video!!

[@aasuncioniii]

Great video! Subscribed!

[@UncommonEDC]

Thank you, much appreciated!!

[@jayccarlos1018]

The D ring is actually for the stability strap.

[@UncommonEDC]

Thanks for the info!

[@davidwilliams1805]

That's nice! Appreciate you doing a review on this. I definitely think it's worth purchasing. Thanks for sharing my friend!

[@UncommonEDC]

For sure, it’s a nice size and xpac is great for these types of packs. Thanks for checking it out!

[@MulliganAl]

I have the V1 and my Fuji X100VI just barely fits inside but since the bottom is so narrow it rides more towards the top which is not really comfortable, is the inside main compartment bottom deeper on the V2? I love the V1 because it's super comfortable but I sure would like the get the V2 if my camera will fit better. Thanks for the review as well.

[@paulwood6659]

Good review, do you have opinions on the bravo vs the alpaka go sling mini

[@UncommonEDC]

Thanks, I don’t have that one yet to compare it to so no strong opinion either way.

[@metal94561]

Does anyone know if you can fit a light jacket in?

[@UncommonEDC]

I can stuff a wind breaker in but it’s not going to be able to fit a sweatshirt or something similar.

[@DrJLad]

Could you fit a mirrorless camera with small lens?

[@UncommonEDC]

I’m not sure, I use a Sony ZV10 and it fits with plenty of space but there is no lens on it.

[@RandysWSG]

I really like that they use rip stop material. Oh nice! Thanks for the shout out (^_^)

[@UncommonEDC]

Same, it does make a great interior material. And anytime my friend, thanks for watching!! 👊🏼⚔️

[@Yielar1]

Just picked up the V2 in black

[@UncommonEDC]

That’s awesome, hope you end up loving it. Thanks for watching! 🫡

[@Barry-Sweaty]

I’m a little bummed your Protech hoodie doesn’t have automatic drawstrings

[@UncommonEDC]

Haha so am I now that you mention it 😭😭

[@annissim4]

Great review and great sling! Do you know how well a Steam Deck would fit in this? I think in theory I think it should fit, but because of the odd back shape I'm afraid it might make the sling uncomfortable...

[@UncommonEDC]

Sorry, I don’t. I know it will fit a switch but don’t have the Steam deck to test it out unfortunately. Thanks for watching!

[@dskennels210]

Any recommendations on a sling that can accommodate a 11 inch tablet?

[@UncommonEDC]

The Nutsac Sling and Satchel both fit my 11 inch iPad, so does my Vertx Dead Letter Sling. I don’t have any of the bigger Alpaka bags yet but they have a few that say they can fit either 11” or 14” tablets. Thanks for taking a look!

[@taiwik]

I am getting one just because they have bright orange inside material where others have a black material

[@UncommonEDC]

Nice, I always appreciate the hi-viz interiors that they use as well. Thanks for checking it out!!

[@headlesspalace]

deff looks a lot nicer worn than on the press pics

[@UncommonEDC]

Thanks!! 🙏🏼

[@gavinlim3143]

Is there anywhere you can place sunglasses without being scratched?

[@UncommonEDC]

There isn’t really a dedicated spot I can think of, when I put my sunglasses in it, I always put them in a case.

[@gavinlim3143]

@UncommonEDC that can add bulk to edc. I use a bellroy venture ready 2.5L and there is a pocket for this purpose

[@staypeeled]

Nice watch, what brand is it?

[@UncommonEDC]

Thanks! It’s a Citizen Weekender.

[@staypeeled]

@@UncommonEDC Thanks! Keep up the great work. STAY PEELED!!

[@vincehernandez52]

need this with a gun pocket

[@UncommonEDC]

That would be sweet!

[@pretentiousname01]

I want to get the fullsized one for my laptop carry. But I cant justify spending that money right now as I bought a back pack to carry it. Maybe on sale though

[@UncommonEDC]

I feel ya, it definitely adds up in terms of cost and storage space with full sized bags. Thanks for taking a look! 👊🏼👊🏼

[@IsraelMagalit]

Why do you mention "other straps" when this doesn't have a removable/replaceable strap? 🤨 Also, I believe the D-ring on the bottom is to connect a stabilizer strap.

[@UncommonEDC]

Yeah, that’s my bad. I was thinking I had seen alternate straps for this but it’s just add ons like the stabilizer strap, the shoulder pad and the strap extension. Thanks for the correction! 🫡
