Found I needed deeper holding and increased volume than the Flight Sling. Added the padded strap, perfect addition.
Large phone (Note), large wallet in opposite pockets of the main zip area are very accomodating. Keys on the mag leash in the front zip pouch makes the system convenient and secure. The inner zip pocket there is just right for my Bose earbuds case. Nice. Nothing to hunt for, sling it and out the door.
Always have 2-3 protein bars to the main center zip area to get me through if needed. Pen slots are generous, fabric lined near pocket is great for my larger sized wallet, larger Note phone fits well in the oposite slot leaving the center area wide open. Bars, FN's whatever your jam is.
Outside webbing loops are the perfect spot to horizontially clip in the Olight Oclip Pro Clip flashlight for a single button push floodlight when my hands are full and the path is dark. Game changer.
The Metro Sling V2 and the Flight Sling are each very thoughtfull in their respective designs, clever certainly applies. While your mileage may vary, the quality of materials and build execution for each is outstanding.
In the spirit of, "Keep Moving Forward"....I'd really like to see Alpaka grow into the professional camera gear bag/backpack space. I'd thoroughly enjoy seeing what thier engaged creativity and unique vision could offer.
Net. Get yourself anything in Alpaka and enjoy the quality, ecosystem and value they deliver.
Cheers,
