The ALPAKA Modular Sling doubles as an add-on pouch for your bag, though when used as a sling, the interior layout doesn’t make the best use of all its volume.

The best Zippers are YKK Japan and RiRi- Switzerland. Most people never heard of RiRi Zipper, because of its price(expensive), but YKK waterproof Zippers are used by most clothing companies. China copies them with different names and it works, but good as YKK. YKK industrial Zipper is used to Bridge Cables in Japan. I do leather work and use both YKK and RiRi. There is Talon, which is a good Zipper.

I bought the alpaka utility pouch when it came out and it's cool to see them make a new model that's had so many improvements

[wlerazan]

love the way you review. Hope you'll do one for the Alpaka Utility pouch soon.

[HomesickMac]

Oh no, this is a great little sling 🙂 and the pros are many more in my opinion. The materials, pockets, ease and versatility of attachments, I'd tend to agree though, with the interior needing _all_ to be in this orange colour, I really love it. I'm a fairly new Alpaka user and this is my third bag (also have the Zip pouch Max and the Zip Clutch) so yeah, it's all up to us users, right? I mean I can't tuck in a bulky powerbank and expect to have space on the outer pocket to pull in my phone (not referring to this very video) or keys, pens.. We need to be smart haha. But it's a hip product for, hopefully, hip people (sic!)
Cheers and thanks for great reviews on your channel!

Tom Bihn solved a problem that a lot of bags have, including this one. The pockets don't have their own volume. On Tom Bihn bags if you put an item in one pocket it doesn't interfere with another pocket. It's kind of amazing more companies haven't realized this. I love this alpaka design but it's a shame that if you load out the main compartment the phone compartment is hindered.

[CrispyTuckley]

You nailed my complaints on this exactly--I wish the outer phone compartment had a little more depth at bottom. This would solve the magnetic flap not closing. Also fold-flat pockets on the top inside would help.

great review! the cons don't really bother me, so I just purchased and subscribed! 😊 thanks, man!

[agunglhs]

Can't wait for full review alpaka element tech case max from packhacker 🔥🤘🏻

[anthonybeavan]

Are you reviewing the Alpaka Vertical Sling anytime soon? That would be a better bigger upgrade to this Modular Sling, although it has a front zip pocket instead of a magnetic flap.

[pretentiousname]

That back wearing option sounds like a good way to get your phone stolen

[DaisoOne]

I just placed an order for these with my Alpaka elements travel pack.. Looking forward to getting it in April…

[TBEDC]

Just got mine today..I did notice the elastic loops are a bit large..Thank you for the review.

[vasilisfellouzis]

Nice video. Could you please review the alpaka metro sling?

[letsgoletsgoletsgoletsgoletsgo]

I just received this, I can confirm the front pocket can fit Samsung s21 ultra WITH quad lock case

[jltplease]

I want to get this in tandem with the Shift V2 backpack

[MubarokArdinah-jzgk]

Can you do a review of the new metro sling V2 please 😊

[thenikhilray]

Are these safe enough to carry camera like Canon G7X directly inside.

[UrfinDguse]

Niiiice! Вы забыли рассказать о фурнитуре. Надеюсь, что на сумке установлена фурнитура Woojin-Duraflex?

[jaredharris]

I ordered version 1 and version 2 i use version one just to carry the phone itself and version 2 if I want to carry more stuff and put phone in large compartment and thinner items like power bank on outside because I’m not looking at phone every second if I want to read a message i just got I’ll ask Siri to read them to me when i have AirPods in i would love it if they added a loop for a key fob on the outside

[Examdactly]

Are there any other modular slings? I need something like this to carry my keys around thats smaller than my larger edc when I’m heading to work
