Customer Ratings & Reviews

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] I have all three sizes of the Bravo Sling, and the large one is really practical and comfortable, even when it's heavily loaded. It's well-balanced and sturdy. It's really become indispensable.

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] The shape and details of the bag are amazing., very well constructed. But the strap feels stiff and plasticky. The crossbody bag doesn't deserve such average quality. I truly believe that Alpaka improve it in next releases...

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] Good size and very comfortable. Would be 5 stars if there was a sleeve for a water bottle.

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] Purchased this a few weeks ago and haven't used it yet. The bag looks great overall, and I checked all the pockets everything seems functional and well made. One thing I noticed is the top part of the bag feels a little weird. It looks somewhat wrinkled and lacks structure. Hopefully this is something that can be improved in future products. Other than that, the bag looks great. This is my first purchase from Alpaka, and I'm looking forward to buying more bags from them. I attached a picture for reference.

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] Excellent sling for daily use, work or travel that requires your laptop, tablet or both. Fits Microsoft Surface Pro 11 (13") w/case and 15" additional laptop together well. When carrying one or the other storage space is good. When carrying both, bulky items thicker than a soda can, space gets more restricted. I use this sling for light work days in office and for poker travel. All compartments make for good separation of carry items, making them easily accessible. The built in charger is great to plug in a large capacity portable charger, leave in the bag and charge from the bag port.

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] I love the style and design of my new Bravo Sling Max bag. Purchased it to use on lighter work days when I don't need my "heavy carry" with the fully loaded backpack. Overall, I'm really pleased with the look and feel of the bag, especially the olive green outer lining with the contrasting bright orange inner lining. There are tons of pockets and really slick features. The bag feels sturdy and well made, and Alpaka did not skimp on the zipper closures. This sling bag was a great value for the price. One thing that's been a minor disappointment is the laptop pocket which claims to fit up to a 14" laptop: for my 13" laptop it's an extremely tight fit into that designated slot with the zippers fully opened and still some brushing-up-against-contact with the zippers (which will scratch my laptop case over time).

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] I like the idea of slings, but not the experience. I went out on a limb with this one (h/t Maurice Moves), assuming I could return it immediately if it didn't work for me, but you can pry this off my cold dead body because it is perfect. It doesn't move around when I walk. It doesn't feel too heavy because it's relatively small. But it fits all the things I need with me. It also looks great with the color palette of the clothes I wear. Seriously, it's perfect!

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] Even though I wish it was a bit bigger, this is a great sling bag and very glad I got it. I have a Tomtoc sling that is listed as 10L and the two bags can hold about the same stuff. So, maybe Alpaka errors on the small side when they measure volume? I also have a larger messenger bag and it is just too big, this smaller size is easy to have on your should and move around while commuting when loaded. Keeps me from just throwing everything in the bag. I have a 15" Thinkpad and I am able to just squeeze it in along with a tablet in the other padded pocket, but this is why I wish it was just a bit bigger, not every one rocks a MacBook. Layout and pockets are well thought out along with the travel friendly design (locking zippers and handle the fits over your wheeled language). I am a bit indifferent on the charging port thing, honestly a simple passthrough hole would have been just fine. This is not a complaint, but a suggestion for a future version, two or three liters larger (fit 15" laptops), add some anchor points to the bags sides for attaching a carabiner or two and maybe a couple of straps on the bottom for a tripod or umbrella.

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] Excellent! I love it.

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] I waited 4 months to review to see how the bag would hold up. I really like this bag, it holds a lot but is fairly unassuming compared to a back pack and easier to access. The materials are of high quality and I've used the bag everyday including on several trips since February and it still looks brand new. The sling style is very comfortable to use whether in front or on one's back. The strap is comfortable and solid. I have not used the USB charging port but may add my charger soon. Overall I highly recommend this bag. I have many bags but this is my go-to one.

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] The product is ok, a bit to rigid

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] I chose this bag because I wanted the smallest possible bag to fit a 14 inch MacBook. Fits laptop great, has nice pockets. Feels very durable, strong materials. My only wishes are in the strap, where it could be longer and have some grippy texture on the cushion to prevent sliding.

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] Great bag. Laptop, water bottle, jacket, Umbrella, tech stuff...a bunch of combinations possible for anything.....and way easy to keep it small and accessible. Perfect sling.

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] Thank you for the great sling bag! I like the individual compartments and the organization of the bag. It is just enough as far as organization goes with all of my stuff. The bright orange on the inside is cool for seeing what is in each compartment. I also like the size. Not too big or too small. A good size for day hikes or projects at work and carries water, lunch, necessities etc.... I like to use it as a bag for drawing with my sketchbook and doing art projects but i like the technology storage as well.

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] It is a good product within the same product category.

I just ordered this bag and I haven't put it to use yet. The strap is cushioned, and it fits me well. (I am 5'5"). My Macbook Air fits very well, and the bag is comfortable. I like that I can lock the zippers for added security, and I think the pockets will be useful for an upcoming trip to Greece in which I am trying to pack light. I also like the magnetic key ring on the inside of a pocket. I was a little disappointed with the fabric. It seems cheaper than I expected for the price of this bag. At first glance, the functionality looks promising, but I expected better quality materials, inside and out. Hopefully it holds up well.

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] This bag is the perfect bag for a techie on the move. Very functional and clean.

Pics show a 14" macbook pro, Anker 20K power bank, AirPods Max, black Zip Clutch inside and a Zip Pouch outside for size comparison. Can pack a lot in for EDC or traveling. My ipad mini fits great in the back pocket. Strap took some adjustment to get fit just right. Wish there was a water bottle sleeve but a carabiner does just fine. Good commuter/travel bag for a software engineer.

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] It took me about 3-4 days to nail how best to use this bag. I usually use a backpack but wanted something neater. I has plenty of pockets but best suited for flat not to bulky things, mostly tech! Paired with its add on clips works best for me. It's very well made with great thought. I'm really enjoying this sling!!!!

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] This sling is almost perfect for my travel needs! It's a perfect size. I also travel internationally from where I ive in Europe to my hometown in the US to visit family twice a year. I use a prepaid sim card when I get to the US so the sim car holder and tool work great to keep my home and travel sims from getting lost when I switch between the two. I love that the USB-C charging port is super fast chrarging compatible. I have the green X-pac version and love how it's almost waterproof so I don't have to worry about anything getting wet when I'm out doing things with family when visiting the US or commuting anywhere by public transport when at home. The only things I wish it had are attachment points on the side of the bag proper (not just the shoulder strap) for hub clips, like on the regular Bravo sling v2, and compression straps on the bottom to hold a jacket or unbrella. Those are small complaints and can easily be overcome. Without them this sling is 95% perfect for my needs, and I don't see myself needing/using another sling for a long time unleess this specific one gets updated with the things I think it would be nice to have.
