Limited Edition Shoulder Pad X-Pac™ Black

Hi so i have owned a bravo sling since Oct 2020, and used it most days as my EDC. I purchased this shoulder pad just to lighten the load a little, its very similar to the one i have on my alpaka messenger bag, and looks great. It also gives me the perfect pocket to put my "active" face mask in so i can access it when i go into a shop.

Had a lot of difficulty tracking the item, as the company involved seemed determined to force me to use its app,apart from that buying experience was great delivery was respectable(cheap,fast considering distance involed)The shoulder pad itself is well made,is relatively thick but this aides comfort and stops movement of the bag did have to lengthen the strap as it was catching on strap loop but overall its really well designed for quick use items..... one suggestion from me is make it big enough for a iphone or include a mag attachment.

This strap compliments my Bravo X sling well by allowing me to carry heavier load and act as a stopper to prevent the bag from slipping away

Dear Alpaka friends. About a month ago I received my bravo sling bag. I've loved him for a long time, since the first time I saw him on Instagram. I was even scammed buying it from a fake online store. But hey, I already have the original. Honestly, the materials and construction seem very good to me, but the design is not what I expected. I think there are some aspects of the design that can be improved: 1. When you put things in the front pocket, it shares the same cargo space as the main pocket, so it reduces and interferes with the main space that reduces its load. 2. The back pocket has the same problem as the front pocket. If you put some things wider, it takes up space in the main compartment. 3. Personally, I would have integrated an interior zippered pocket for small things that cannot be lost. 4. The interior pockets are very open, perhaps they could have an elastic at the top to keep objects more contained and with less possibility of moving inside. 5. Both the front pocket and the main one do not have a gusset (horizontal cargo space. I don't know if I explain myself well, I am using a translator, I spoke Spanish) 6. The closure of the main pocket does not reach the ends, this means that when one opens the "lid" it tends to stay closed and it is difficult to see inside to find things. 7. Perhaps they could include a rubber band to hold the external battery in place or to fix some other items. Friends, I hope you take this feedback for good. I am an architect and designer, I am a fan of backpacks and bags, I have traveled to all continents and many countries and they are essential for everyday life. I have carried my EDC in a sling bag for years. Which consists of a small notebook, pencils, glasses, wallet, etc. Before receiving the Bravo Sling I was using the model that I leave in the following link, and to be honest, I find it easier to use for some aspects that I indicated previously and its price is only 28 US dollars. And its quality is very very good. I just leave it as a comment. I would be very happy and willing to contribute design ideas for a Bravo 2.0 Receive warm greetings from a friend in Chile

The pocket is bit too small, i think a quick insert pocket will be better than zip pocket
