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.

That back wearing option sounds like a good way to get your phone stolen
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
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.
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.
Thanks for sharing your insights! 🤙
love the way you review. Hope you'll do one for the Alpaka Utility pouch soon.
Thanks for watching! 😃

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

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!
Thanks for sharing your insights! 🤙

Can't wait for full review alpaka element tech case max from packhacker 🔥🤘🏻
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.
Thanks for watching! 😃

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

I just placed an order for these with my Alpaka elements travel pack.. Looking forward to getting it in April…
Let us know how you like it! 😃

Nice video. Could you please review the alpaka metro sling?
Can you do a review of the new metro sling V2 please 😊
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.
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll pass it along.
-Eric
Yes, please review the vertical sling!
I want to get this in tandem with the Shift V2 backpack
Niiiice! Вы забыли рассказать о фурнитуре. Надеюсь, что на сумке установлена фурнитура Woojin-Duraflex?
Are these safe enough to carry camera like Canon G7X directly inside.
I just received this, I can confirm the front pocket can fit Samsung s21 ultra WITH quad lock case
Thanks for sharing! 😃
-Eric
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
Can it fit a compact camera as well? Example Ricoh GR III
It can
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
Alpaka also has a modular phone sling which is slightly smaller

@@jboogie325 I'll check it out, ty
I love this bag when I'm wearing sweats with small pockets! It's small enough to fit underneath my jacket too
Thanks for watching! 😃

Will the ipad mini 6 fits in on that alpaka modular sling?
No, it is barely tall enough for an iPhone Max.
The Vertical Sling form Alpaka can fit the ipad mini 6
I own few Alpaka items and aside from good looks most of them are not well thought out. Just like this sling, the bad points are: magnetic flap ability to close is not good at all (very poor for this price tag). Phone is not protected from rain when inside the pocket (there are openings on the side for moisture to get in). Honestly, I've expected more for this price.

That's an OLight mini pen!
