Many reviewers say that the product was sent to them but their opinions will still be honest. I don't always believe that little disclaimer but I do with your reviews. I really appreciate that a great deal because I feel like I'm getting a true picture of the product. This pouch/sling is pretty cool but not for me. Your review, however, was informative, honest and helpful. Thanks!

[@CityTrekker]

Thank you. I appreciate you saying that. I really do try to be very honest in my reviews and shoot them the way I'd like to see them reviewed. When companies occasionally send me their products (I buy most bags) I tell them I won't review it if I hate it, but if I do review it, I will be honest and point out positives and negatives. I even told Alpaka some of the negatives IMO before I shot the review, and instead of asking me not to do the review then, they thanked me for feedback and said that they value the insight so they can improve their products. I'm impressed by that.

I’m had the Go Sling mini with the waterproof material for almost 2 years. I love this thing so much, but I crave just a tad bit of extra space… think I’m gonna get this one!!

[@Jbiglin]

Wow - Really thorough review; the best one I’ve seen of this bag. I really appreciate that you show the pros and cons of it and especially your thoughts and alternatives of the sling. First time on your channel. Gonna check out more vids and likely sub. Thanks!

[@danielebergonzi8461]

Thanks

[@AfroMocha]

As an airsoft player i dont think Alpaka released what they started with this sling. Its perfect for carring 3 double stavk m4 mags, 6 pistol mags and a pistol easy with room for lights and extra BB loaders if it had some MOLLE on the outside it would be the absolute beast for airsoft games. I do understand as Austrailian Devs of the product airsoft would not be a thing to come to mind as its illegal in Australia I believe.

[@Enjoyyourcarry]

Great review. I initially backed this on kickstarter then changed my mind. I love the design and organization of it but I agree that strap is not great, especially with the pad that doesn’t move.

[@CityTrekker]

Yeah but swapping out the strap is easy, so that's what I did.

[@AMFisher2]

I'm waiting for mine! I can't wait to compare it to my cap2 from evergoods. Thanks for the review!

[@CityTrekker]

It’s great!

[@wildmangeorgesrcchannel6916]

the alpaka elements tech case max is basically the same thing only has more organization.

[@laeonflux]

Great review, I love all my Alpaka gear, they have one of the most balanced price/quality ratio in the market. Still thinking which of their medium slings would work for me but this video helps a lot. And a liitle question for you. You listed everything you showed in the video except for the water bottle which now has me intrigued. It looks really cool. Thanks and peace.

[@CityTrekker]

Thanks! The orange water bottle? It’s a Yeti.

[@simonbyeongukhan8198]

Thank you for your review. Can you tell me the maximum length of the shoulder strap?

[@Ali4451_]

Thanks for the video! What water bottle is that?

[@CityTrekker]

The orange water bottle on the table? That's a Yeti. I think it's the 26 oz tumbler.

[@Synomenon]

Not sure if I missed it, but can we please see the backside? I haven't been able to see any pictures of the backside. Are the straps removable? Is there a pocket on the back?

[@AfroMocha]

The straps are removable. And the bank I believe just has a handle. The website shows all angles of the bag

[@michaelgourlay1746]

This is just another copy of another reviewer. Packhaker is much better Fail!

[@CityTrekker]

Wow. Harsh bro. I didn’t watch the Packhacker review before shooting this, but yeah they do great reviews.

[@develentsai3215]

I think Alpaka copy the case opening that can fold half way to a stand from a Japanese Kokuyo brand, Kokuyo has this style of pen case call Haco Haco for many years. Alpaka just made Haco looks better 😂
