ALPAKAMetro Sling V2, RFID Blocking Small Crossbody Sling Bag & Handle Carry Bag, Adjustable & Detachable Shoulder Strap Bag

I’ve owned this for a few months now and it’s been a great small side bag for regular use. It’s well built and I have little worry about the construction not holding up in the future. It’s also designed well and is very comfortable to wear while still holding everything I need without being to filled.

The bag itself isn't of bad quality, but the design I find could be improved on.If you check out Photo 1, the front pocket (the so-called Quick-Access Front Compartment) tends to collapses and is hard to unzip when it does, rendering it useless.Then if you notice Photo 2, the decision to put all those attachment loops are really unnecessary and makes it look horrible. Not to mention, do you really need all those loops? Three on each side, I double you have 6 of their Hub Carabiner Clip (the only type compatible with these loops) to put 6 different things on there. If you have that much stuff to hang, mind as well buy another bigger bag.Then the size itself is hard to say if this should be an EDC Bag or a Mini-Backpack. If it was a little bit smaller like the Go Sling Nano, it might be the best EDC Vertical Bag they have.I usually like Alpaka's Bag Designs, but this one is a little off for me. I hope they improve on these Vertical Sling Bags.

My husband loved this bag! It’s unisex, crossbody, well-made, simple design, compact - yet has room for all of your essentials. Great for theme parks, hikes, sightseeing, or just a walk. Great price!

Exceptional quality and design. I’m constantly changing out the contents and using this as an everyday carry bag when I don’t want to carry a backpack.

Very durable. Has pockets to hold multiple items.

Good for on the go travel, small size makes it great for short trips or commuting.

I love this bag. It is so durable and carries a lot of stuff for its size. The green is a great color. Can be worn by both males and females. Really great value for money.

The media could not be loaded. I really wanted to love this bag but I just can’t get over how annoyingly stiff it is due to the hard foam or plastic(?) in the back of the bag. This gives the bag SO much rigidity - as if the quality fabric and construction doesn’t give it enough rigidity on its own.So basically, you can fit a single item in each pocket (the flatter the better, think filing cabinet). And forget about shoving anything else in there without crushing it.The weight is nice, not too heavy but heavy enough that it feels like good quality.Zippers are nice quality, a little hard to unzip at first but I assume they wear-in over time and get easier.Style is also A+Seriously, this bag could’ve been PERFECT if it were not for that unnecessary stiff board in the back.Could even put an additional pocket back there!
