ALPAKA Flight Sling, Crossbody Sling Bag For Men Travel with Quick Release Shoulder Strap and Magnetic Buckle

I bought this sling for an airplane flight. I wanted something I could keep my essentials in partly for easy access and partly to make going through security easier (no need to empty pockets when everything is in the sling.) it held my keys, glasses, AirPods, wallet, and some just-in-case medications. But I especially appreciated that it held my iPad mini 7 with room to spare in a dedicated section of the main compartment. The quality is top notch and the number of pockets for organization was just what I needed. The strap was easy to adjust to my preferred length and I appreciated the magnetic key strap which made sure I didn’t lose my keys as well as the magnetic closure in the body facing pocket which kept contents secure. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a 2 L sling.

I recently ordered and received an Alpaka Flight Sling. Before seeing the actual product, I was a bit concerned that the 210d outer fabric might be a little too lightweight. However, with the sling in hand, I can see that the 210d is perfect. It will be durable enough for travel (that's my expected use for the sling) and is light enough that the sling conforms easily to the load. When it only contains a few items, it remains very trim, but can easily accommodate a larger payload. Another concern I had before receiving the sling was the magnetic clasp on the carrying strap. Again, upon receiving the sling, I can now tell that the clasp is very robust and I don't foresee any accidental release of the clasp. Many reviewers have also mentioned that the back pocket, which doesn't have a closure, may be risky to carry things such as a passport. However, my passport wallet is just slightly shorter than the width of the pocket and fits very securely in that pocket. Worse case is that I add a small piece of velcro for additional security. All in all, this is a great sling and I suspect it will serve me for many years to come. Thank you Alpaka for designing such a slim and useful sling.

I honestly feel like Alpaka is an exclusively male brand. Their gear is fantastic. Materials, quality, layout, and convenience — everything is perfectly engineered. It looks very sharp and sleek too.

Bought this product with 2 use cases in mind: 1. When traveling, have my go to items when on a plane at arm's reach & not use the nasty seat pocket. 2. When out for walks, pack my belongings so empty the pockets. For the 1st use case, PERFECT. I can attach it to the food tray on the seat & have access to my phone, handheld game, earphones (wired or ear buds), cell phone, backup battery, keys (LOVE the built in key holder) & other small items I need to get my hands on that I don't wanna dig in my pockets nor go to my carry on if I don't have to. 2nd use case is ok, but felt a bit big for my walks. There are bigger slings (& some smaller 1's). It does hold everything, but I just got tired of walking 3-4 miles & this thing bouncing off me. Materials are EXCELLENT, shoulder strap is quite nice, but some may not be crazy about the quick release with the magnet. YKK aqua guard zippers are awesome, although takes a little more ummph to pull the zippers with aqua guard. Prefer that over non-coated zippers. Think the size is PERFECT for holding items on a plane. Could also be useful in places like theme parks & the like. Price point is also EXCELLENT. 1 thing people may not be fond of is the back pocket not having a zipper. Not a deal breaker for me, but for others, could be.

Amazing! Love it! Such a perfect size and function for the price. Much nicer than I expected. I’m a fan and looking forward to getting more from this brand.

I don’t daily carry a sling, but I do find it convenient to carry one while flying/traveling. Walking for long periods or distances while having stuff in my pockets irritates my thighs so a sling truly helps. Also helps to stay organized while moving around the airport and boarding a plane. Interior organization was plenty for what I carry while on the plane and need quick access to. Also more than plenty of space for what I would carry to walk around a big city while abroad. The back pocket not having a zipper made me think twice before buying this sling, but turned out that it wasn’t as big of a deal for me. I just used it to throw my phone in there for quick access. The strap is a bit narrow, but fairly comfortable. Would’ve been nice if it was a bit wider. Only other feature I would’ve liked is a small zipper pouch inside the main compartment to throw some small items that I would like to keep from falling to the bottom of the bag. I was able to use the tag inside to slide a pen, which was a feature I was looking for while doing my research. Other than that materias are great and helps that the interior isn’t black to help find items quickly.

This is an amazing bag! I was looking for something that I could carry sling style in the city or without straps on my chest attached to my hiking backpack straps when hiking in the mountains, so this was perfect. I wanted a small (1L) bag to carry either my mirrorless camera (Fuji X-T30 II with 23mm F/2.8 pancake lens) or compact handgun for protection. Both objects, which are radically different in shape and weight fit well enough - better than any other small bag I've tried. The fact that straps come off entirely exposing the perfectly positioned loops was just amazing for my use case. I used Nite Ize S-Biner MicroLocks to attach to backpack straps for chest carry. There are plenty of videos and reviews that elaborate on various aspects of this bag. My use case was different, so I wanted to share that. I can confirm that the quality is superb.

As you'll see by the photos, I've come to really enjoy Alpaka products. I've got quite the collection and this Flight Sling is my new favorite. And not just out of the Alpaka slings I own, but out of any sling. When I first got into slings (about 4 yrs ago) I tended to go for larger slings, and I would pack them with a bunch of things I didn't really need. As time went on I would remove things and downsize my carry. I'm at the point now where this 2L flight sling is the perfect size. My favorite thing about this sling is the rip stop material and the way it forms around your body. I've always really liked xpac, but those bags tend to be more stiff and solid in construction. This one reminds me of the tomtoc aviator sling I have, in the way it fits and carries. Except the flight sling stays much slimmer and isn't bulky at all. The build quality and materials is a given for Alpaka, so you won't have issues there. I own around 10 of their bags (will be pictured) and I haven't had so much as a loose thread on any of them. The price of this sling is also much lower than their usual products, but it's just as awesome as any other. The strap that comes with this bag is great. It has the magnetic slide buckle (which is my favorite buckle on any sling) and it's a 1" strap width. I don't really have issues with these straps, but bc I have so many slings, a while back I started modifying and making my own straps for slings (have a picture of my supplies for that lol). So I created a strap I like even more. It's mostly a strap from a topo designs sling I own. It is 1" on both ends, but it tapers to be 1 1/2" in the middle. And modified it with the Alpaka slide buckle to get the best of both. So if you notice it in the pictures, just know it doesn't come with this sling, but the sling it does come with is also good. This sling also has very simple organization. Which I've come to prefer over the years. It fits everything I need and stays slim and form fitting when carrying. The colors are awesome as well. I really like this blue with the grey/silverish interior. It looks slick and people have complimented on the color. But other than that stuff, I have a bunch of photos of things like me wearing the sling and pictures of the sling with all my other Alpaka slings. As well as a couple comparison pics with the tech case mini and tech case, and what the sling holds inside. I would definitely recommend this Alpaka Flight Sling 2L. Just be aware of what you need to carry, bc it's not for everyone. If you have a large carry, you'll need to find something bigger. So take a look at my carry and see if yours is close to that. That'll give you an idea. If it's much bigger than my carry, this 2L size might be too small for you. Also if you aren't a fan of the 1" strap size, take a look around the market for one you prefer. Just make sure it has the same kind of G hooks or spring gate hooks for attachment That's another nice thing about this sling, you can swap straps or use it as a little case inside another larger bag. But pick one up! You'll love it!

Love, love, love this! Slightly taller than a lululemon everywhere 1L but has more capacity, has more organization, and has a slimmer profile. The two waterproof zippers (top one, into the main compartment) and front one, where the key chain leash is stored) open and close easily, though they do make a bit of noise. On the back, there's a magnetic pocket. Inside, there are two smaller compartments on one side and on the other side, there is a sleeve pocket - all made from the interior fabric. I like that it's not a mesh compartment or sleeve so they won't rip or stretch out of shape to hold anything securely, and I expect these to last longer. In addition, the interior sleeve pocket has a stiff edging so it won't sag as you put your phone or other things into it, like flimsy mesh interior sleeves would. The lighter-coloured fabric inside makes it easy to find things. Really appreciate the swivel connections for the strap so the sling lies completely flat against the body for a very slim profile - small enough to easily put under your jacket without being bulky. Easy to take on and off with the clips. Material looks durable and I'm very happy with this purchase!

Fan of this brand. This sling was ideal for a recent trip abroad. Good quality and perfect size as a carry on sling for air travel. Held enough items to get me through a 4 hr flight (kindle, AirPods etc.) and the magnetic pocket at the back is perfect for passport. Bag was then perfect as small, light, day sling when on the holiday.

Melhor sling que ja usei, so pelos proximos produtos da marca!

Great product. Slim and compact, yet able to hold my ipad mini and kindle for travel. Zippers and magnetic fasteners are high quality as is the fabric. Organization on the outside and inside of the bag are well planned. This will be used A LOT!

良いですよ。 アイパッドminiの持ち運び利用ですがサイズピッタリ（余裕あり そのために作られたかの様に画面保護クッションもあります←重要 私が入れているのは アイパッドmini スマホ モバイルバッテリー、ケーブル、折り畳みキーボード、スタイラスペンですがまだまだ余裕あります 最も良い点はこのままインナーBAGになる点かと思います 他のバッグにそのままガジェットの塊を入れられるのがとても便利です
