    Neat for long boarders, lightweight for just the essentials!
  • @jcap8391
    Alpaka stuff is always at least good. Very functional. Glad they exist.
  • @Vpm8481
    Ive been using this for 1.5 years. Loving it so far.
  • @AzurePanda08
    Would love to see you take a look at the Mos black pack some time, it's a very unique bag with cable management I have not seen another bag do
  • @JordanAppleby
    I bought this for £20 for a recent holiday for me and the wife to keep our phones In (and our hotel key card) for around the pool. Was perfect for that
  • @DJ.Skyhawk
    Alpaka vertical sling owner here, it’s perfect in all aspects except sometimes I wish it had a secondary strap so it didn’t slide around so much when bending over, riding bikes, etc
  • @wescam
    I love vertical bags (pouch, man bag, etc.) and ones with that type opening "hinged" or "gusseted" (or whatever you call it) opening are awesome. I wish someone made a 13" bag exactly like this.
  • @KelvinHew7
    Matador Speed Stash is a good alternative, and it doesn't have removable straps to also work as a sling
  • @Luis24AE
    I’m thinking the new Metro Sling V2 would be a better purchase. Same price and currently comes with the HUB carabiner (worth $25). I may place an order today and if I do will be using your code. Thank you!
  • @MarcusArtorius
    Also!!! Loved the addition of Margaret to show this on different body types, but, like every other area is fashion, larger men are left guessing. I'm 5'11", 250, and always having to guess what a bag might look like worn on me. You need a beefy dude! Still, appreciate that you're roughly average size to compare to taller/shorter or thicker/thinner people. I've seen some bag companies who only use the most petite women to model their bags, so everything looks huge and not how they would look worn on the average person...
  • @alex123megamax5
    Hey! I've been looking at a few of your videos in the recent days and really like the style and information in your reviews. I found a cool bag from Alpaka called the Elements Tech Brief Pro but I can't really find any good reviews of it and I don't feel like blind buying without some trustworthy opinions first. I'm woundering if you would consider reviewing the Elements Tech Brief Pro and tell me your opinion on it? I found the 3 in 1 nature of it pretty cool.
  • @jomiejomie
    It's a great sling but there's a lot of vertical space that's unused if you're using the organization properly. You'd need a very tall phone or tall notebooks to completely utilize the vertical dimensions.
  • @linedwell
    I saw these in a short by Marisa over at Gear For The Girls..have you seen that channel? It's really really good.. 😉 Looking forward to her review.. but I'll watch this one too.. I guess. 😁
  • @feeb2634
    Greenroom 136 side keep for a larger size sling / pouch
  • @joecarroll8286
    It gives me "cell phone belt clip" when it's on the strap, but it seems like a great little design overall (unless cell phone belt clips are cool and I missed it?).
  • @apatrid4727
    What about Wandrd X1 - medium or small - as an alternative?
  • @zain6051
    Can you please review the Alpaka Shift Pack V2? I can’t find a good review for it anywhere… plus I trust your, and only your, reviews 😅 I’m so tempted to get it but I can’t do it without you reviewing it. And the Alpaka elements tech brief pro too if you can.
