Do you ever feel like slings should fit more stuff so you can bring more tech gear, books, etc?
If you do, then the Alpaka Go Sling is here to make you blow your mind!
It's got an impressive capacity of 5.5 liters and for a sling, that's a lot! It fits a ton of gear - iPad Pro 11-inch & AirPods Max to name a few. This is also fairly weather-resistant thanks to the YKK PU-coated zips and its external fabric (X-Pac or Axoflux version).
Overall, it's a huge EDC sling that offers good amount of organization and space for your everyday essentials. It's also comfortable to wear and has a ton of high-quality hardware - which looks bulky.

Alpaka usually does a nice job with the bag itself, but there are always little things about their straps which I wish were different. I like padding on straps for bigger bags, but don’t really like when it’s not floating and stuck in the middle. It forces you to wear the bag lower almost messenger style, like you show here, if you want to keep the padding on your shoulder. If you want to wear it higher on the chest or back you’d ideally want to get that padding very close to one side, like a chrome Kadet type sling strap or the like. Still with the looks and slim but tall design of the bag, it’s sorta like a small briefcase, so the lower hanging style works well enough.

@Nomads.Nation 6 ай бұрын

good looks on the strap being stuck - I'd like to see more bags implement an adjustable style

@houserhythm 6 ай бұрын

That can be solved by having adjustment bubbles on both sides of the shoulder pad (like the PD slings have, for example); that way you can adjust from either side in order to get the pad in just the right position for you. I prefer that to a floating shoulder pad, cause those tend to slide out of position and you have to keep putting them back in the right place.

I'm always looking for the smallest possible sling that can still fit all my EDC and I recently got the Go Sling Nano. I'm quite impressed that it fits my iPhone, wallet, AirPods Pro, 5000mAh Anker power bank, USB cable, 45W wall charger, Peak Design packable tote, pack of cigarettes, ROAV foldable sunglasses, OrbitKey organiser with 6 keys, car keyfob and a pen. One thing I'd change on the Nano is the magnetic clip for the key leash - find it very bulky and takes up too much space itself in that tiny front pocket; it's fine on a larger sling, but the Nano needed something more minimal. I got it in Xpac, so less hair/lint stickiness, more weather resitance. Plus orange interior! And I don't really care about the hardware brand, but in Alpaka's case I really like the Maglockz slider because it can only be opened by sliding, has a plastic clip that prevents it from being pulled apart and that makes it safer/harder for a thief to just pull it open and off your body when wearing it on your back. The FidLock on the Mini is way too easy to just grab and run off. I know FidLock also offers a sliding clasp (it's available on the TomToc custom Xpac version, for example) but I never saw one in person, so I don't know if can also be pulled apart or only slid open like the Maglockz.

As for the strap I screen shouted some of the alpaka video for the sling. The non X-Pac video. And it seems they rolled up one side of the strap and secured it down with the strap keeper elastic. When I do this it makes a big difference! Overall bag is perfect for my needs. It's a bit bigger but allows water bottle iPad phone earbuds charger etc.

I just got this and it fits my A7iv + 20-70mm f4 perfectly, together with a water bottle and an umbrella. The only issue is that the bottom of the bag is not padded which is a pity. Anyhow, my A7iv and lens fits into the microfibre slot so I guess it's not that bad.

I use that strap pad with my tech case strap. The strap pad now works like most, to where it floats freely around the strap. I;m using the strap padding from my tomtoc duffle bag with my Go Sling now! The original strap was flawed in multiple ways in my opinion. The biggest for me, is how the badding doesnt extend out far enough underneath the Maglockzzzz buckle. (not sure why eithger?) However the tomtoc pad on the Go sling, has pushed this thing up to the top of the list on my current favorite slings! I wear it on my chest, and its so comfortable now that it literally feels like getting a big ass hug all day long! LOL

The thing I am most interested when viewing a sling review is the tablet size it can fit, and not only the Apple ones, but the Samsung ones as well. I have yet to find a decent sling that would fit my Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+. You can easily get a feel about what a sling can fit other than the size tablet it can fit. This one might just do the trick.

Received bag today and quality overall is excellent. 11” iPad fits in either the dedicated pocket or just in center but its tight and there is no bottom padding if you put down the bag in vertical position. The magz lock works well and is comfortable however, if you weight the bag down a bit which the iPad does, it is difficult to cinch the strap to pull tight to body. I design of the strap puts the adjustment on the bottom which is connected to bag which pulls down when you are trying to cinch up. Design flaw in my opinion.

Thank you for the great reviews. Nomads Nation truley inspires me to search for that next EDC. I was wondering if Nomads Nation would consider show casing more of alpaka's gear in xpac material if made as an option? I find that some of their slings, which are presented in both axoflux and xpac, produce a different presentation. In this review, I am likely to lean towards an alternative. However, if shown in xpac material, my decision could easilly change. I own two alpaka pouches in axoflux and definately see a difference in presentation. Overal, i appreciate your awesome reviews and thank you for letting me express my thoughts.

Its relative, bc to say a bag is medium size, you first need to compare it with another bag. but the Go Sling and the Tomtoc are both 5.5L and the tech cases are like 2.8L and 3.3 L (or something around that lol) But i have all of these i mentioned except for the Max tech case, and when I use each one, I usually stick them all in a backpack.

How does it compare to element tech case as a sling?

@DaveStern2 6 ай бұрын

I'm not Aaron but I have the elements tech case and tech case max (but not the go sling). Biggest difference is size, the go sling is just bigger - 5.5L for the go sling vs 2.8L for the tech case max (and even smaller for the regular tech case). The go sling is not only bigger but bigger in each dimension - so if you have a large flat item to carry, the go sling might work where the tech case would not. Two other differences are shape and hardware. The tech cases are more 'brick like' in shape whereas the go sling proportions are more writing pad or tablet shaped (the thickness of the tech cases make them proportioned like a brick, while the proportions of the go sling make the thickness less like a brick against the larger length and width). The hardware is more 'there' on the go sling. The tech case has a wrist strap and narrow sling strap, and optionally a 'pro strap' which is wider and a magnetic clasp). The straps on the tech case attached with a gatekeeper which is pretty small in profile (vs. the big buckle on the go sling). I use the regular size tech case in xpac with the pro strap as a sling for travel (flights) and it's excellent. Biggest suggestion would be see what you want to carry and which one fits that best. Also whether you want the larger hardware on the go sling or the more streamlined (and unpadded) hardware and strap of the tech case. The internals on all of them are very good, no other comments there.

Epic and totally agree - tech cases are much more ‘brick’-like and don’t sit against the body as flush as a designated sling

No it does not, in height is just a bit too low. Especially if you consider a case with your tablet, then it definitely doesn't fit.

Alright thank you for the replies! :) Few days ago I got a feedback from Alpaka CS, they said it wont fit also.

I almost get this but I went for the Flight Sling. A smaller minimal version of this one, lighter and more affordable, without the ring at the bottom which is in reality to attach the stabilizer strap for bikers and such. Also Alpaka's main compartment tag usually works fine as a pen holder.

I prefer the Flight Sling to this sling - more malleable and lighter feel

Great Review. Wish I had seen it sooner! It validates everything for me though I wish you could show the viewers a bit more about it's strap. I just got the Xpac version in black and love the interior blood orange!. Love that I can fit an ipad pro 11 inch in its keyboard case in it and still manage phone kindle and 500ml water bottle. The aesthetic is great and when not packed out it is nice and slim. My one con is the shoulder strap. Other slings I have tried ( Tom Toc and Osprey and Patagonia) All Attach at the top to a fixed point of the bag and so are not removable and that part of sling is padded most of the way down. This bag the the strap attached at 2 points with Bulky attachments. Additionally I am not a taller guy at only 5'8. In order to get the bag to fit on my back not hanging too low and still manage to get the padding to go on my shoulder requires me to pull the strap on the non buckle side almost to its end. This leaves a lot of strap dangle as the strap keeper only goes so far on the seatbelt type material before hitting the padding part of the strap leaving a good 10 inches of dangle. I have looped the strap on its self a bit as a work around but it does hurt the look of the back. Wish there was a simpler strap system. I might just get the strap cut shorter and then have the loop resewn because truthfully haven't found another bag in close to it's price range that matches it for looks and functionality. Otherwise for me its the perfect sling. Slim when not too packed but can still hold alot and great mix for 1.5 bag travel when you carry a large 40l backpack as your travel bag. The xpac and zippers mean great waater protection. and it looks amazing. The xpac also means no issues with it picking up dirt as you describe in your review.

Thanks for your comment, especially regarding the strap!

Try pulling the extra strap (on the side with the shoulder pad) all the way to the opposite end of the pad. Keep the extra strap on the top of the pad all the way down, and secure it to the pad with the strap keepers. The keepers will be really tight and sort of a pain to get them in place. However this is a great thing, bc they will keep the bag Dangle Free! The other side of the strap with no shoulder pad, can be used to shorten or lengthen like normal. but i would advise getting the first side to where you need it so it hits your shoulder and leaving it bee. hope this helps 👍👍

The stiff back pocket seems like a pickpocket deterrent as this is where your wallet would go. FYI Alpaka sells a shoulder pad. No dangle!
