ALPAKA - Flight Sling Pro 2.5L Travel Sling Bag, Crossbody Bag with Bottle Sleeve, Fits iPad Mini, Converts to Tech Pouch - Black Axoflux 400D Ripstop Nylon

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] This sling bag has a really clever design where you can unzip the bottom of the bag and then store a water bottle there from either end. It is not a very practical bag for a flight personal item with only a 2.5L capacity, but for the times you are away from home it is a perfect size for carrying the essentials.

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] I've been looking for a bag like this for a while, a sling bag that had a method of carrying a water bottle or umbrella without getting too bulky in the main compartment. This has been a nice solution to that very specific problem. Clasps can be used to cover a smaller bottle, or cinch against a more narrow point. Very nice that it can be zipped up and hidden away. Bag also comes with great magnetic clasps for the strap and the hidden key holder, plus well designed pockets with dividers. Only gripe is that the strap isn't the most comfortable if you attach a heavier water bottle - using a 750ml camelbak , I wished the strap was wider or a bit padded.

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] Really a perfect design. I just need it to carry my camera, a couple of extra batteries, some SD cards and maybe a USB cord. The plus is I can carry a water bottle as well!. Love the cleaver design and I might look for something that is slightly bigger for my next trip.

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] I am at the point in my life where I now need 2 glasses with me all the time. Sunglasses and now readers. I live in NYC and am mostly on my feet/bike and so a small bag that holds everything is key. With my tiny wallet, phone, lip stuff, lady stuff, keys, headphones and now 2 glasses it is hard to close the bag. I can do it. But it is a squeeze and I have to close it otherwise stuff might leap out when jumping and spinning in my day because the bag is rather shallow (great for finding stuff, but more escape prone). The umbrella/water bottle compartment is genius! I fit a whole big glass bottle of sparkling water in it one day and can stuff a small jacket in there if need be. I do also wish that it was a bit less sporty but it is super functional and sleek and I have rigged it up with some bling to make it more festive. In short, a tiny bit more space and perhaps a bit less sporty version for us "ladies" out there, but overall a great bag and I use it every day.

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] I absolutely love the bag itself, but the strap is too thin and should have some form of padding (and probably grip). The bag is meant to hold a water bottle, which means significant weight on that little strap. Having to purchase another strap or pad to make this bag work makes it feel like you are being taken advantage of. Alpaka can and should do better.
