I Love my Ameri bag perfect size and fits in the middle of my back easy to get into weather proof dark black . Many pockets inside . I found it in a thrift store for 7 dollars ,it's my favorite and it's my daily everyday for 6 years .
All messenger bags must have a quick access pouch on the back for easy access, and because it’s against your back, it’s the safest part of the bag to store valuables.. having to open that flap every time is hard work
Great interview. I appreciate the question about the hand feel of a fabric. Personally I love the feel of cordura and hated having an XPAC bag. Ecopak is like if cordura and xpac had a baby. That would be the perfect medium.
Lots of reviewers seem to comment on the overbuilt strap(s). I don’t get it. When this pouch is packed out with all the heavy tech, those hearty straps are greatly appreciated. ☮️
What is the practical difference between the camp material and the black? I don't fully understand the remote equipement materials yet (exp600 vs eplx600?)
Bag is sweet, I was one of the first buyers when it was $600 and it hurt to spend that but the bag is really badass. When they dropped the price $200 it hurt more but it's about the right price now and with the updates it's even better.
Thanks for making this vid! Really insightful. Regarding the volume, can you confirm that: - Alpha 31 expanded == 36L - Org kit = 2,5L each so total 5L - Tad Double Booster = 1L So overall, we can reach 40-42L?
Great review. If you had to choose a brand and a particular backpack what would it be? I picked up a DSPTCH RUCKPACK made in the USA. But after a while it’s painful to wear. Thanks again.
It’s the most expensive backpack / sling that I own and yet the one I use the least because it’s so uncomfortable. I bought it in part of all of the reviews out there but this MOFO got it right , once you wear it , it sticks out by the corners.
That is probably the Alpaka Bravo X Sling V2, but in the older Design. If you visit the shop you won't find this exakt bag anymore. The grey Version is in the final sale at the moment. I have the Bravo X Sling V2 VX21 in black, which is an absolute beauty. I have to say it is a good size for a sling bag. The Bravo Sling Max V2 is just huge.
I’m had the Go Sling mini with the waterproof material for almost 2 years. I love this thing so much, but I crave just a tad bit of extra space… think I’m gonna get this one!!
Great review! One question: knowing that it would depend on airline, but would the transit backpack be fit for low cost flights? They usually allow tiny bags onboard.
I think Alpaka copy the case opening that can fold half way to a stand from a Japanese Kokuyo brand, Kokuyo has this style of pen case call Haco Haco for many years. Alpaka just made Haco looks better 😂
GoRuck says it is the same and the specs are listed as the same, but the feel of the bags are different. I think the newer bags feel smoother and thinner.
As an airsoft player i dont think Alpaka released what they started with this sling. Its perfect for carring 3 double stavk m4 mags, 6 pistol mags and a pistol easy with room for lights and extra BB loaders if it had some MOLLE on the outside it would be the absolute beast for airsoft games. I do understand as Austrailian Devs of the product airsoft would not be a thing to come to mind as its illegal in Australia I believe.
Not sure if I missed it, but can we please see the backside? I haven't been able to see any pictures of the backside. Are the straps removable? Is there a pocket on the back?
Wow - Really thorough review; the best one I’ve seen of this bag. I really appreciate that you show the pros and cons of it and especially your thoughts and alternatives of the sling. First time on your channel. Gonna check out more vids and likely sub. Thanks!
It will fit a Fujifilm X100 series camera easily in that front pocket. Also a LUMIX LX100ii. I’m not sure if an XT would fit in the front pocket but definitely the main compartment.
