Alpaka Go Sling Mini V2 in X-Pac 5L Review based on a two week testing period.
What I love about the bag:
1. Has a back pocket, so perfect for one bag travel
2. Can be used as a camera sling
3. 5L for me is not too big, not too small
4. Probably has the most secure Fidlock I've experienced
5. Magnetic and removable Key Tether
6. This might just be the best sling for the iPad Mini / Kindle/ Nintendo Switch
*I mentioned in the review that my SonyA6000 and 11oz tumbler don't fit at the same time. But after further testing, both can actually fit! Even with my phone, wallet, airpods, powerbank, and DJI Osmo Action 4 inside! Just goes to show that you really need to spend more time with the bag to figure out your optimum EDC loadout.
Cons:
1. Strap is hard to adjust when worn, but still doable.
2. Based on feedback from those who have used it longer, the strap tends to adjust by itself if the sling is too heavy
3. You need to test different strap lengths for maximum comfort, and so that the buckle is less noticeable
4. Front pocket can easily get tight when main compartment is packed (but I think most slings have this issue)
