fun fact: this sling also pefectly fits a steam deck with a travel cover (dbrand or any similar function cover) i use this sling as a daily carry and it holds my main EDC, steam deck, steam deck accessories, and even a few luxuries with ease
@@genmaicha_ actually I bought the sling already and it fits my laptop, steam deck with jsaux travel case, techpouch, Nintendo pro con ,and extra powerbank.
I'm a huge user of Alpaka stuff and this bag is one of my favorites. Versatile like none, I can use it as a commuting sling, on my gigs as a music accessory bag, photo/video shoots, and it was a perfect companion on a summer trip from Sweden to the UK, by train. Everything I needed during the ride was with me while the roller bag rested up on the luggage shelf.
You sold me on this Brother, given what you carry and also your modular like system of carry. I've customised mine though, I got a Phone Pouch to mount on the shoulder strap along with a HUB system clip and also a Peak Design Capture Clip for my camera. The sling's shape is so good, it keeps stuff so flat and close to the body rather than being bulbous, I love the main compartment zipper and the lid design, and it actually fits a 14.4" Microsoft Studio Laptop 2 with a finger widith to spare on both sides AND a mirrorless camera + lens at the same time! The tech section has great organisation for your recommendation for self defense a flashlight with a tail switch but I have also added a small telescopic baton and it fits PERFECTLY in a section designed for a pen. I used to dread slinging the bag to the front and back, but I can do that so smoothly with this one I love it. I actually wish I had the blue lined one! But this orange one is just as good. I bought some zip pull extensions too to make it easier to open.
Okay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the kislux book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations

Maurice: If you're looking for content ideas, would love to see more of the metal working side of your job. 🤠Especially since I know nothing about that world.
@@Mayank_Maximum No we specialize in sheet metal fabrication. Cutting, bending, and welding. UPS truck bodies, to oil drilling rigs. All kinds of different stuff.
I see Olights. And green at that. Good choice. Thanks for helping me pick out something I never thought I would ever use. I got pick-pocketed in Italy. The pocket in question had velcro closures. Changed my thinking entirely.
I've had the Max Pro for a little over a year and I love it. I bought it when I drove for a living and it was great for essential items plus road-useful stuff like toiletries and snacks. Recently changed careers and it stores tech for pop-up workspace and my switch for breaks along with my snacks still. On the weekends, it's my D&D bag with books, dice, rolling mat, and of course snacks.. versatile is an understatement.
It’s so great to see a video just confirming my ALPAKA sling max championship turbo edition (can never remember the real name). I love this sling, just with the straps didn’t get so tangled at times LOL. I didn’t even expect to see you talk about it when I clicked the link and then there it was, great video.
This feels like its made for me. I've been struggling with a tech bag sling and a separate laptop bag. This is very promising. Thanks for the rec and the discount code!
The bag’s strap is criminally small. If you are more than 150 lbs or perhaps a lady with a larger than “average” chest-you’ll want to consider the “extended strap” addition.
I dont know what was the first video of yours I watched, but I’ve been hooked to your video. So concise, well organized and full of useful information! Keep it up!
based on your review, I've bought this bag with your code and WOW!! this is an awesome bag !!! it carries a lot and still confortable when fully packed! thx!
Your channel is amazing. Thank you so much for many reviews including this one. I got this Alpaca bag about a week ago and I absolutely LOVE it. I store my 14" MacBook Pro inside, along with an A5 leather journal + cover, leather field notes wallet (a bit smaller than a travelers brand notebook), iPhone, keys, a Maxpedition pouch with all kinds of "just in case" tools/grooming/emergency supplies, AirPods, sunglasses, and several large fountain pens. In the external zippered compartment I carry my 11" iPad Pro in a Logitech keyboard case. And in the hidden back pocket I carry an ID badge on a lanyard. I can wear this on my motorcycle without fear of water ruining my electronics. I wear it as a sling in front when on my motorcade or driving a car, and when walking it's on my back (sling mode) or on one shoulder (messenger mode). It is the most comfortable and wisely designed EDC bag I've ever used...and I have tried so many. It even doubles as a handy desk surface (due to its contoured shape) when placed face down underneath my laptop. Sooo versatile.
@@KFG721 Yeah it's super strong. I've never had pick pocket concerns in Europe to be honest. I've been in packed Christmas markets with a backpack on and no one has ever messed with my stuff.
Also own this sling. Bought it after getting the Elements Backpack and absolutely loving it. 100% Alpaka should be part of your carrying needs conversation.
FINALLY, you address the photography gear. Since I've watching your videos, I have wondered whether any of the Alpaka slings would protect camera gear. Thank you for mentioning this. The Alpaka seemed to accommodate photography gear just as well if not better than Peak Design.
I tried to return an item, only to find out that I had to ship it back to Australia with tracking, which cost almost as much as the purchase price. Needless to say, be careful purchasing Alpaka because of their return policy.
A lot of bag reviews focus on the bag itself and what it can carry and where, but I really yearn for more focus on how the bag carries. How the strap attaches, and how it fits on the body and how the user interacts with it everyday. I had been disappointed with the Alpaka tech brief's shoulder strap and was looking for you to show footage of the strap on how it fits on the body just to see if this was the same. I only got a glimpse of the same problem for a second or so at 6:24 of this video. From this shot I can see the padding ends up on your chest when you wear the bag in sling mode higher up the back. This was the same as the strap on the tech brief. There is simply no good way to shorten on side short enough to get that padding over the shoulder were it belongs. The only way to get the padding on the shoulder is to use the bad on a lower carry position like a messenger or side carry bag. Bummer. One strap that has solved this problem is DSPTCH's badded strap, you can remove one end entirely to get that padded portion closer to the bag and thus on your shoulder in sling mode.
Just a recommendation, something which I am sure you've heard of. The arkfeld pro (newest model) features both a laser beam and a uv light along with the main light!
I am no way shape or form considered a video type kind of person, but, 6:16 I was like, "OOOOH, that is satisfying." 🤣 I would never need something like that because I never do anything even remotely close to video work but that right there makes me want to get that type of setup lol I am wanting to change my lifestyle and get out more since I am moving to a beautiful rustic city and always find myself watching those POV or 360 outdoor nature videos either hikes or biking and I am moving to a place similar but I am a huge homebody but I got this bag as I do occasionally go to a coffee shop and absolutely love bag and minimal ones at that so your videos have not only gotten me to buy the traveller's notebook system that I use all the time now but making me reach for my bag and wanting to get some sort of video setup 😆 I like the chest rig pov because I am bit taller than average (5'11) and would love to get a motorcycle and take videos or go to the lake and take pictures and all that but it's polar opposite to my life and I am a very lazy person. I have big dreams but zero discipline but dang am I always dreaming though ha ha that shot of the camera going into place though, super satisfying, loved that 😄
I’m not a doctor or counsellor; just an internet stranger who also struggles to get out of the house sometimes. It seems like you’re being hard on yourself. If you have the desire to go outside but can’t find the motivation, that might be executive dysfunction or a mood disorder, not laziness. I dunno. There can be shame attached to being considered lazy, and often stigma attached to being neurodivergent or depressed. It kinda sucks either way. I hope you can find what helps you feel good about getting out more!
I have the mini version which is great if you don’t need to carry your laptop. Love your dedicated pouches for specific functions. Did you purchase the shoulder strap separately?
I'm a big fan of Alpaka's products and even a bigger fan of Alpaka's customers support (they really take care of their customers). I own and use several Alpaka products. Unfortunately the Bravo Sling Max did not work out. On the version that I owned the shoulder strap was my issue. It is on the short side. The padded end is fixed in place and only adjusts on one side. I could never get the sling to hang comfortably (I'm a bigger guy with a long torso). I'm fairly sure that if you are a average to small person this would not be an issue. I also found the sling could get very heavy quickly. When packed out it was better hanging on my shoulder like a briefcase rather than a sling (but that may just be the strap again). I hope this helps someone. Thanks, Maurice!
Love all your videos. Especially the slow carb ones back in the day. Perhaps you could try the 1 Month occams protocol workout from 4 hour body sometime. Super short and simple and would make a great vid
Thank you for another great and informative review. I like those a lot. While the bag is very appealing to me, I have one major issue with it without even laying hands on it: Alpaka's return policy is simply prohibitive: Ordering from the EU, I would have to ship the item I do not like to keep all the way to Australia or to Hong Kong. At own costs with god knows what kind of administrative hassle. So: Congrats to Alpaka for such neatly designed bags. But unless this changes they are really not of any value...
Saw your Jakarta MRT card 4:53 greetings from Indonesia 😊. 2 questions, 1. do you think Xpac material version is better than fabric? 2. How do you put your tumbler safely inside?

It would be nice to hear about the apps that you think are necessary for frequent travellers to get access to lounges in airports or accumulate points from hotels or car rentals and so on
The only issue with the alpaka key solution is that now you have a strong AF magnet on your keychain and it sticks to all kinds of things... Apart from that I like it. I got one with an Alpaka sling that I use every day for work commute.
I'm looking for a compact sling such as this, and this one looks almost perfect - but since I usually carry a my Fuji x100v, headphones and misc - I'd really appreciate dividers in the main compartment so stuff doesn't bump into each other.. tried the Peak design and a Wndr, but neither are just right :(
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the kislux leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
Do you have videos or links of that smaller organizer pouches? I'm looking for something like that. Have one Maxpedition, which is of good quality, but I need more and do not want that military or tactical look
I was skeptical when I saw the notification. "Another EDC bag from Maurice? Come on." I'm not much of an EDC person, but based on your video before, I got the Aer Day Sling 3 Max X-Pac. It's been a good recommendation and after using for several trips, including a month long excursion through Asia shooting videos every day, I liked it but the bag was a bit snug for my needs. After watching this video, I'm irritated that I might now spend more money to get another bag. Of course, I'm going to investigate it thoroughly, but the sling aspect and the additional height to fit a laptop or folder seems very appealing and might be what I'm looking for. Plus, I like the orange interior - that has made a big difference in the Max X-Pad. Thanks!
Yes the color of the kislux is beautiful and it is a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag during the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves, etc…
I have one kislux bag I got in 2019, it's the LV white catogram speedy. It's counter quality and it has a nice honey patina now, so the leather is real. I think whatever makes you happy go for it. I've seen LV with plastic leather and blood red glaze...
Seen the new arkfield version? Regular, uv and the pointer. Could be a good update. Also this video came about 2 weeks late for me, as I was shopping for a bag for my 14” samsung chromebook. Not that it keeps me from thinking about buying it anyway
I would not put lens and camera body like that into a small bag, the lens will rub against each other will likely damage both equipment. Maybe it’s good for a smaller apsc body with lens attached.
Great video. Alpaka is running a sale between "20-30% off. I just bought this in special black edition for $103.26 (which includes tax and $5 shipping fee). If you update this video with current sale code you may get an affiliate commission
I am facing a conundrum here. I have been eyeing this back for so long but my main concern is that while my work laptop is a 14” Toshiba Dynabook (company-issued; which I think will fit perfectly here as it is only a few mm thicker than a MacBook Air), my personal laptop is an Asus ROG (which is a 15.6”). This would be useful as an EDC going to work, but for travel, I might need a full-on tech backpack. I am considering the Aer City Pack Pro, which is a great backpack with all the features I need even for a quick weekend getaway (the clamshell design of the main compartment is chef’s kiss to me). But one issue I have is I have a 4-level spinal fusion, so I have to take care of putting too much weight on my back. Any insight will be greatly appreciated.
Not to mention it's convenient for thief or robber to take that away too… all in one… not bad… saves time… one bag to hold them all, one bag to loose them all…
Regarding the USB C Hub, is it Fast Charging compatible ? As in, are the cables rated for higher wattage charging, and does the hub allow higher wattage passthrough charging ? (45W or higher). If not, then the USB C Hub is kinda obsolete in terms of 2025 standards.
Absolutely the best EDC reviews out there. Clear, pleasant voice, straightforward presentation, and no unnecessary fluff. 🚨
Bought one a couple of weeks ago, and it's the best bag I've ever had. So versatile, lightweight and yet packs in everything I need
If the buckle is on your back could it be easily undone by someone behind you?
fun fact: this sling also pefectly fits a steam deck with a travel cover (dbrand or any similar function cover)
i use this sling as a daily carry and it holds my main EDC, steam deck, steam deck accessories, and even a few luxuries with ease
Will there be space for a laptop with the steam deck?
@@Antondepadua nah, that's pushing it unless it's just the laptop and steam deck and nothing else

If it had a couple straps for a slim tripod, and a bottle area, along with a mid sling strap instead of the top corners, this bag would be elite.

Will this bag accomodate the 15" Macbook Air?
Exactly what I am trying to find out also.
Does it fit the 16" MBP? The dimensions should in theory fit it but on the website they say up to 14 only.
What size laptop was that? So im assuming itll fit an ipad air with keyboard case?
6:08 can it put the one dslr, one lens and 13” MacBook Air at same time?
How big is your Macbook? Their website says it can only fit an 11 inch tablet.
The sling comes in 2 sizes. The regular version can hold a tablet and the Max version can store your laptop.
Seen the new arkfield version? Regular, uv and the pointer. Could be a good update.
Also this video came about 2 weeks late for me, as I was shopping for a bag for my 14” samsung chromebook.

Maurice. If the strap buckle is on your back with the bag on your front, can the buckle be disconnected easily and quicky by someone behind you?
I have been eyeing this for a while, but unfortunately only black seems to be available.
You think this will fit a surface pro, nuphy air 60, and a steam deck?
You have a beautiful pants, where did you buy them?
I notice you didn't mention the Orbitkey Nest. Is that no longer a part of your everyday carry?
Love it! ❤
Most of the sling bags from Alpaka I'm interesed in are sold out for weeks...
I would not put lens and camera body like that into a small bag, the lens will rub against each other will likely damage both equipment. Maybe it’s good for a smaller apsc body with lens attached.
Great video. Alpaka is running a sale between "20-30% off. I just bought this in special black edition for $103.26 (which includes tax and $5 shipping fee).

whats that green toy Porsche ? :)
Hello,
Does a 15‘’ macbook fits inside?
I am facing a conundrum here.
I have been eyeing this back for so long but my main concern is that while my work laptop is a 14” Toshiba Dynabook (company-issued; which I think will fit perfectly here as it is only a few mm thicker than a MacBook Air), my personal laptop is an Asus ROG (which is a 15.6”). This would be useful as an EDC going to work, but for travel, I might need a full-on tech backpack. I am considering the Aer City Pack Pro, which is a great backpack with all the features I need even for a quick weekend getaway (the clamshell design of the main compartment is chef’s kiss to me). But one issue I have is I have a 4-level spinal fusion, so I have to take care of putting too much weight on my back.
Any insight will be greatly appreciated.
I think aer is selling a strap separately for shifting the weight to your waist, might work on the CPP
I'm glad it's not just me who puts phones and wallets in my pockets and not in my bag.
Mantap bang
My mom bought one kislux and she loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when she went out with it.
I can’t seem to find this model .. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Not to mention it's convenient for thief or robber to take that away too… all in one… not bad… saves time… one bag to hold them all, one bag to loose them all…
Regarding the USB C Hub, is it Fast Charging compatible ? As in, are the cables rated for higher wattage charging, and does the hub allow higher wattage passthrough charging ? (45W or higher). If not, then the USB C Hub is kinda obsolete in terms of 2025 standards.
can it fit 17" MBP?
awesome
I assume that the Air is 13”.
