## Description

The ALPAKA Go Sling Mini offers the perfect balance of compact design and practical organization for minimalists who value quality and functionality. This 3.5L capacity sling, measuring 11.4"x3.7"x7.4", is thoughtfully engineered, accommodating your essential daily items while maintaining a sleek profile against your body. The weatherproof Axoflux 300D recycled fabric protects contents from light rain, while silent YKK zippers provide smooth, quiet access to your belongings. Three purpose-built compartments keep everything organized: a front pocket with magnetic key tether, a main compartment with padded sleeve for iPad Mini or Nintendo Switch (but not larger devices) and a secure rear pocket for valuables. The premium Fidlock magnetic buckle offers quick access with secure closure, though it adds slight weight to the overall design. Adjustable for right or left shoulder carry with an additional grab handle for versatility. Ideal for urban adventures, daily commutes, or light hiking when you need just the basics. This is not designed for those seeking maximum capacity, but rather for the discerning minimalist who appreciates thoughtful organization in a less is more lifestyle.

Review: Nice bag with lots of room - This is a great bag. It's worth the money and is very well made. The fabric is thick and the zippers are sturdy. It's nice and roomy with multiple pockets, and can be used for many items. It can comfortably be worn as a chest bag or fanny pack. It unfortunately didn't work out for my needs as a CCL holder I was looking for a bag to carry my security 9 in. It does have a pocket lined with velcro, but it was in the wrong position for me when I draw. Even with my weapon in it there was still plenty of room to carry others items.. keys, chap stick, phone, money/cards and ID.. essentials needed for daily use. It can easily function as a purse.
Review: Best EDC Bag - The Alpaka Go Sling Mini was the perfect bag for me. It held exactly what I needed, fit me perfectly. The material is stiff but comparable, and the zippers haven’t snagged a single time. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great bag, Strap could be improved a bit
*by B***G on August 9, 2024*

Very nice bag overall with good materials, build, and just the right amount of organization for me. It's almost exactly what I want for a daily carry and a personal item to keep with me when going through an airport and at my seat on flights. To make it perfect for me, though, I would need the main pocket to be a bit wider and for there to be some minor adjustments to the strap. It feels like there is about a .25 inch of padding on each side of the main pocket, which does make the main pocket feel a bit smaller than you would expect. If you want to carry water you can fit an insulated water bottle (about a 3 Inch diameter) in the main pocket, but if you have anything else in the bag it feels tight. A 12 oz deer park bottle (pictured; 2.5 inch diameter; 6.25 inch height) fits more comfortably, but it depends on how you pack out the bag. Along with my kindle in the picture I have most of my items packed on the lefts side of the front pocket, so it doesn't interfere with where the bottle is. If I had packed that stuff on the right with the bottle it would feel tight. It appears that .5 inch of padding is just enough that it prevents insulated bottles, like a hydroflask, from fitting comfortably, though you can do it so what is tight from my perspective might be fine for others. You can also always clip a bottle to the d ring on the bottom or the straps on the side if you don't mind it swinging around. I'm not a huge fan of the swinging, but it is a sling, and is meant to be more compact, so as far as carrying water is concerned compromises need to be made. I am looking for a more stable way to connect a water bottle to the outside of the bag without it swinging around, though. The biggest problem I have with the bag is that the strap gradually loosens. When the bag is under tension the strap doesn't move, but when you lay it on a table it eases the tension and when you pick it back up it tends to extend just a little bit. It's not much but eventually you will have to retighten the strap. The elastic strap keepers also move around more than I'd like when you use them like you would expect to, with just the strap and a single layer of the excess held by the keeper (like in the picture on the product page). To address the keepers moving I've been doubling or tripling the excess strap so the elastic holds more tightly (see pictures). This also helps prevent the strap from loosening as much because the latch hits the excess strap instead of sliding further down the strap when you pick it up. It would also be nice if the strap could be removed entirely like on the Go Sling or the Go Sling Nano and had a way to quickly adjust the strap length more quickly and easily. As it is you set the strap and hope to never have to fiddle with it. These complaints are minor annoyances, and this sling hits the right balance on a lot of things for me. The size is big enough to hold my things, but not so big that I feel like I should just grab a backpack instead. The organization is not so much that it feels like a tech pouch where it can't fit thicker items in, but not so empty that everything just slides everywhere. I also knew that I wanted the sling to hold my kindle regularly, and a lot of slings either weren't tall enough (most of the other slings I looked at were designed to fit an iPad mini which is 5.3" wide while my kindle oasis is 5.6"; very close but it made a difference frequently) or didn't have a dedicated pocket that would fit a tablet at all. I also wanted a good level of water resistance for storms, a passport pocket on the rear of the bag close to the body, and a brightly lined interior for visibility. I also like the small extras the bag has, like the magnetic key leash and Fidlock latch. So as long as you deal with some small drawbacks it's a great bag.
