ALPAKA Metro Pouch Review (2 Weeks of Use)

[@datdudeinred]

Great little thing. Especially useful to travel worry free that your most imp things are in front of you and safe from pickpockets, also pretty handy in airports when you are late and have to stuff a bunch of things quickly without removing your backpack, and also for photographers storing filters, wipes etc.

[@Iman626625]

I've attached this on the side of my Peak design everyday sling and it was handy especially when you store tiny items they you want to grab quick

[@PackHacker2]

Thanks for sharing your insight 😃 You can attach it many different places! -Erica

[@erraticc6631]

When I first saw it, it was interesting. I am glad you guys reviewed it.

[@ELaster1]

Usually I like Alpaka's pouches a lot, however I feel they first decided how it looks outside, and then about its purpose and layout

[@PackHacker2]

Good call 🧐 -Eric

[@deez5396]

Unfortunately A lot of their things lack dimension and while they look cool when it’s empty or even lightly stuffed when you put stuff in every compartment it quickly looses its sleek aesthetic

I watch backpack/pouch videos all the time, and I have no idea why this video never come up to me. I just got a Metro Backpack, and this would be a perfect companion to it❤. It looks like a miniature of the backpack 😂 I checked the website, and this is not listed. Did they stop producing it?😢

Will this hold a positive grid spark go unit?

[@sneakerteach2856]

I have this pouch, and while it’s a great pouch for commuting in the city, but I do have one gripe: I don’t think this pouch has the same build quality as the other products from Alpaka. I noticed that one of the zippers catches on the gusset when zipping and unzipping. Does anyone else have this issue? I’m afraid it’s going to affect the functionality and durability in the long run

[@ELaster1]

Happens to my HUB pouch as well, and I heard it's pretty common. I don't think it affects usage too much, just need a bit more attention sometimes

[@raebae19]

I have this pouch and have the exact same issue.

[@sp3lllz]

does the iphone 12/13 mini fit inside as this is smaller than the iphone 11? if so i think that seals the deal for me

[@ridonp3058]

Do you think this would fit a Ricoh GrIII as a stand alone pouch?

[@J0nas.]

Please make a video about the Alpaka Metro Sling, I can’t find a video about it anywhere and it seems really nice. I have the idea to buy it but I’m not quite sure yet

[@PackHacker2]

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll pass it along. -Eric

[@j0404t]

Can you recommend something like this that's just a tiny bit bigger to fit an iPhone Pro? Thanks!

[@PackHacker2]

ALPAKA also makes a Modular Sling: packhacker.com/travel-gear/alpaka/modular-sling/ You could check out Matador’s Speed Stash or some of Chrom Industries' offerings: packhacker.com/travel-gear/matador/speed-stash/ packhacker.com/travel-gear/chrome/phone-pouch/ packhacker.com/travel-gear/chrome/tech-accessory-pouch/ - Austin

[@j0404t]

@@PackHacker2 Thanks Austin. The Alpaka sling you linked is the perfect size, if only there's a way to attach it to a belt.

[@WarHeadNuke]

@@j0404t just commenting to say that you can attach this to a belt

[@WarHeadNuke]

Between this and the ringke mini pouch 🤔

[@PackHacker2]

Let us know what you decide! 😃 -Eric

[@CarlosJimenez-bv7ru]

I wonder if I could fit my passport in there

[@aayotechnology]

You guys 3d printed the airpod case replica, why not print different size phones for these reviews?

[@lunastefanieroy]

It's so small and handy!

[@PackHacker2]

Forsure, Stefanie! 😃 -Eric

[@javig1011]

What wallet It is? Thanks!!!!

[@PackHacker2]

That’s the Chums Surfshorts Wallet! Full review coming soon-here’s some info for now: packhacker.com/travel-gear/chums/surfshorts-wallet/ -Eric

[@MichaelCMeyer]

Apple iPhone Mini? Android foldable phone?

[@MrTangent]

It’s a pouch, not a phone.

[@MichaelCMeyer]

@@MrTangent please read my comment and take particular notice of punctuation. That means I am suggesting the type of phone that can fit in the small pouch.

[@MrTangent]

@@MichaelCMeyer Please articulate and form an actual question next time. Such as: “Does an iPhone mini fit in this pouch?” It’s not hard.

[@kakkak89]

What is this!? A pack for ants?!

[@classicdell]

Too bad it's not big enough to hold the phone

[@PackHacker2]

Yeah, that’s a bummer! -Eric

[@oasay07808]

It'll fit my zFlip

[@yohan2437]

Maybe the audience is too young to remember but these types of pouches were widely available as point and shoot camera pouches from the likes of Lowepro, Tamrac etc. 20 years ago. No need to reinvent the wheel. This is not new or innovative at all.

[@0f556]

Okay Boomer.

[@truthseeker1581]

They were free... smh

[@coolhand_leo]

Yup and they look like shit compared to this

[@shot2x]

Yep it is im young but not dumb like some of people here
