I know some people like thinner straps, but that only works for me if its not loaded too heavy. If possible I like any sling strap to be at least 1.25 or more.
Thanks for the into to this sling. My go-to in-flight sling (if you can call it that) has been the Alpaka Tech Case Mini. The 2" depth is as thick as I'd want to wear. Otherwise, it just gets in the way, e.g. when you're having your in-flight meal. I really like the front pocket since like the Flight Sling, it has a good amount of depth to it and can hold my quick access essentials like hand lotion, lip balm, eye drops, and hand sanitizer. I don't use the zippered divider pocket in the Tech Case Mini so utility wise, it could function the same as the Flight Sling. I'm kind of hesitant to try yet another sling but I do like that there's a buckle on the Flight Sling. It may also be lighter but I can't find the weight on the Tech Case Mini to compare the two. Alpaka has just been pumping out products left and right!
I wanted to order this bag for my next trip/flight given the style and low price... but that rear pocket without a zipper turned me away. I ended up ordering the Go Sling Mini
The problem with these sling bags when traveling is that they make you a target for thieves. I think you're better off with a neck wallet tucked under a shirt and keep the heavier stuff in a backpack which is less of a target and harder to steal from.

This is the best sling and i have owned many. incredible quality and comfort and not too slingy. they are out of the black colorway
Thank you for watching and glad to hear the sling has worked well for you!
Thanks. Got one today and couldn’t figure out how to open the buckle. Watched you do it and got it first time.
Thank you for watching and I hope you enjoy using the sling a lot!:)
Great video. Currently testing this bag myself
Thank you Bo!! Looking forward to seeing your thoughts on it! 🎉

Thank you for watching and the tech case Mini definitely another great option to consider!

Thank you for watching and I agree not having the zipper there is unfortunate, glad you were able to find a good alternative!
All depends how you look at it ,have a bellroy lite mini sling wish it had any type of pocket at back of sling
Great review keep it going,
Have a alpaka zip pouch max looks similar but less volume and lighter with zips all round
Thank you for watching and for the support!
Thanks for the great review, Danny!
Thank you for watching and for the support!:)
Gonna be my edc not just a travel bag.
Thank you for watching and definitely think this is a solid edc sling as well!
Aero pro sling is really nice too
Thank you for watching and I agree, another good alternative!
Please review the Gram28 slings before black friday!
I wish they would put a small top grab handle on this bag
Thank you for watching and I agree that would have been a nice addition!
And also small loop on side to hang it up on with heroclip
Hey! Is there a risk that magnetic buckle could come undone if someone were to attempt to yank the sling bag off the shoulder?
Wish alpaka made a tech sling ultra that is 5-6 liters and slightly larger in all dimensions. I love that sling but it's too small for what I carry.
Great video, as always! Nice bag, pity about that back pocket that cannot be closed…
Thank you for watching and for the support! I agree, that back pocket with a zipper would have been great!
I find ALPAKAs stuff to often be too “slim”. Need more volume!
