Go Sling

My initial impressions: The Go Sling is lightweight, and low profile when not loaded up, but very spacious when it needs to be. I can fit my older model iPad Pro with an Otterbox case, (9.7” version; the newer 11” version is .43” taller and .39” wider, but I suspect it would fit, as there is a little room to spare when I insert my 9.7” iPad Pro with the Otterbox case in the dedicated tablet area.) The area just outside of the tablet sleeve is even more spacious and can probably hold a new 11” iPad Pro with a fair sized case if the need arises. There is good organization, but not too much, and the bright silver/grey interior helps so I can see everything inside. It can hold the following all at once if need be: 9.7” iPad Pro, larger wallet, keys, iPhone 11 Pro Max in an Otterbox case, chapstick, cables, Olight Arkfeld, and there’s still a lot of room for more. I haven’t had it for long yet, so it’s hard to comment on durability, but it’s clearly well built. The shoulder strap is detachable and reasonably comfortable for my frame. (5’9”). Overall, I find this Go Sling to be extremely versatile, yet carries a low profile, which I like. The version I ordered was the AxoFlux 600D in green. Again, the color is sort of low key, and the sling just sort of blends in.

Shipping updates were informative and I was able to communicate directly with ALPAKA to make sure my order did not ship on UPS, (I’ve had a few bad UPS experiences in the recent past) and they used a different, but…

Bag suited my everyday work needs, BUT i am not a fan of the crossbody strap what so ever. While most bags use a triglide buckle (look them up) alpaka tried something new, the extra fabric left over from adjusting the strap to your size is meant to be held together by an elastic band, it often moves from the position you left it in and now you have a free flapping strap, or worse, your bag starts to loosen up from the desired sizing. I'm trying to fold in the loose strap in on itself and use the elastic to secure it. wish me luck! Downside of that, if I'm being picky, is now i have a huge bump on either side from the extra strap (i use my bag tightly) I love the bag but the resizing of the strap could use a rework (magnetic buckle and and shoulder pad are great) other alpaka bags have better straps, so it sucks that one of the more expensive bags has a poorer design. Hope to see a V2 down the line as i need something for a regular sized ipad to fit
