Customer Ratings & Reviews

[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.

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] Im 14 (using my moms account) and this is the best sling i have ever tried and I have tried a bunch of slings. Highly recommend to anyone at any age especially if you can get a sale bc it is kinda pricey but if you want something good you have to pay pretty good.

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] It's a great bag and a very cool idea. The only downside side is there's not enough depth to the bag. Everything feels tights. The front pockets feels tight with keys and AirPod and a lip gloss. The main pocket feels tight with small wallet and sunglasses. There not enough space or room to add anything else. Wish it was a little more flexible and spacious.

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] I have the Flight Swing 2l. The back pocket had no zipper, and was a bit small. The Flight Swing 2.5 fixes that. It would benefit form a bit more organization in the main and front pockets. A carry handle would then make it perfect. The addition of the water bottle carry feature on the bottom, which can also double as a umbrella carry (in rainy Japan), or can hold a light jacket, makes this a real winner, got to have. I will be taking this on my next trip to Japan. Thanks Alpaka!

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] I love the overall design, particularly the "hidden" middle section which can be unzipped to hold a water bottle or umbrella. The only thing I'd not a fan of is the big key tag in the front pocket which I ended up cutting off because it wan't removable and just got in the way of things I wanted to store in it.

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] This one ticks all the boxes for me, most importantly the ability to hold a water bottle. Also the recessed zip on the back pocket feels nice and secure for wallets and passports. If I could change one thing I think a slightly wider strap would work well, this could be easily accomplised as it's removeable.

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] I love the fact that it's compact but holds so much! The expandable carrier is a nice bonus. I love it!

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] I haven't used it yet and won't until July in Europe, but it's the right size for passport, wallet, sunglasses, phone, air tag and a water bottle, which was a requirement. Everything else was too too big or way too small or could not hold a small water bottle but were made for the giant size one.

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] More than I expected. Keeps my 18oz yeti secure. Plenty of space for all my essentials and everyday items. The strap sits comfortably over my shoulder. And extra pocket in the main compartment would be clutch, but doesn't take away from the overall excellence of the bag. Love it.

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] The water bottle holder design alone makes this sling 5-stars. Perfect for storing an umbrella too especially because the stretch mesh would allow an umbrella to air out when wet. The cinch cords also allow that space to be used for irregular shaped items like a light stick for k-pop concerts because you can cinch-lock it in place so it want fall out. And best of all, when you don't need to carry such items, that part zips away totally flat for a sleeker profile. Very well thought out!

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] That upside down pocket for water bottles, umbrellas, etc... is genious!

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] Remove all the layers of pockets within the main compartment to maximise the space

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] The Alpaka Flight Sling Pro 2.5L has been a significant upgrade for my daily carry, offering a much more refined experience than my previous rotation between the Tech Case Max and the Tech Case Mini. The "slim factor" is exactly what I was looking for, but the standout feature is easily the hidden bottle pocket. I used to clip my Owala to the side with a carabiner, but the constant dangling and swaying while walking was incredibly frustrating; now, I can tuck the bottle away securely, and the pocket zips shut to maintain a sleek profile when not in use. Despite its compact size, the organization is perfectly suited for my essentials. The main compartment easily accommodates my iPad Mini and MCON controller, along with my card holder, while my keys stay in the front pocket and my phone remains secure in the back. The only missing piece that would make this bag absolutely perfect is a built-in D-ring. Having one would allow me to properly use my magnetic stabilizer strap to keep the bag even more secure during movement. Aside from that small omission, it is the ideal middle ground for anyone who wants to carry their gaming gear and stay hydrated without the bulk.

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] Love the quality, capacity and ability to hold a bottle if needed.

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] Love the silhouette of the Flight Sling 2L, but the added water bottle pocket takes this Pro version to the next level. I usually carry a 16 oz Owala with my Flight Sling, and this finally lets me go completely hands free. The only thing I wish it had is a way to tuck away the bungee strap while it's in use. Keeping it from dangling would really clean up the overall look.

[This review was collected as a part of promotion] Very good build quality and excellent for everyone who wants a minimal bag. The quality of the strap is very good and the magnetic way it works is excellent but in my opinion it could be, not so thin.
