I have this and honestly it looks really goofy as a sling. I use it mainly as a tech organizer.

[@mr_red13]

That’s a bummer. I was really hoping to sling that slang

[@Ghhrjovi]

Wow, I like the opening style, I wish they have a camera bag version of this.

[@MuyaoHehehe]

I got the Vertex pouch from kickstarter.
Very competent desk caddy, I like the way the interior compartments work.

[@PackHacker2]

Thanks for sharing your insights! 🤙

[@TrumpetGapper]

I LOVE this pouch. It’s not too big, and not too small. Those small pockets that you mentioned you used for SD cards and SIMS, great spot to stash an AirTag. First perfectly in there and is out of the way.

Thanks for sharing your insights! 🤙

I have this in black and it gets heavy quick. I replaced the strap with the pro strap fid lock V buckle from Alpaka. Overall it’s better for your desk. I do wanna try it on a trip but it’s bulky.

[@jonuiuc]

The inability to make one side of the strap short enough so you can keep the padded part over your shoulder and wear the sling high on the back or chest (like a chrome kadet, kargo loculus, or tomtoc T26) instead of low like a shoulder bag has been a ongoing problem with alpaka designs since they rolled out their first padded strap.

[@mike_fly_]

Agree!! Strap should be very short and fixed on the buckle side of the pad, and be much longer on the other side. Wish Alpaka would take a cue from Bellroy, who already figured that out.

I liked the school gym tangent! I also loved watching those sliding walls! The only thing I don't like about my Vertex is that I wish there wasn't a buckle, as it often sits in a weird place on my body, and I don't get the padding where I need it. Annoying if it digs into a bra strap. But the strap can be used on other bags, which is great. It can feel a bit bulky as a sling, so I mostly use it as a desk caddy, which works well.

Can you give a link for the wall chargers you showed? Or to a review if there is one.

[@shirfong5252]

Thanks for the video. Did you mean the x-pac material is less durable compared to the axoflux material?

[@maxheadroom7687]

Can you show all these cross body bags with fully extended shoulder strap length please so we can see if they can double as a shoulder bag?

[@ericburgos]

Hmm. Do you think it's possible to fit one of the big Anker battery packs in lid zipper pouch? Like one of the 20k or 27k Prime ones?

[@Louis1996_1]

Useful review, thanks

[@PackHacker2]

Thanks for watching! 😃

[@Javier-et8qs]

Hello do you know if it fits a Mac air?

[@Panda_Po7]

Will it fit inside peakdesign 20L zip backpack?

[@mr_red13]

Is this better than the CAP2?

[@kioti15]

Honestly size and capability wise. I have the tech case max and the vertex. I feel the tech case max is a better value for the size.
