Go Sling Mini
Keeps your essentials in reach, yet out of the way
Go Sling Mini is compact but big enough for your essentials, a small mirrorless camera, a passport, your phone and small enough to keep you light on the go. Made from lightweight fabrics which not only look great but is also durable so it can hold up on any adventure.
- Magnetic Fidlock buckle in the middle of the strap for efficiency
- Anti-theft, lockable zippers
- Integrated key tether to keep keys in one place
- Comfortable & easy to adjust Soft Nylon Strap
- Fits an iPad Mini & Nintendo Switch
- Weatherproof fabrics
- Waterproof zippers
All X-Pac materials share similar properties and with small items, the practical differences are quite small. A larger denier means thicker material and makes it less prone to creasing.
- VX21: Low stretch, abrasion-resistant, lightweight 210 denier face, waterproof, ideal balance of weight and durability.
- VX42: X4 laminate, 420 denier face, waterproof, exceptional abrasion resistance and durability.

Great quality sling bag but Alpaka‘s promo photos are misleading.
To begin with, the service by Mukama was absolutely perfect! I first ordered a different colour, but after finishing the order, I got an email notification that the black X-Pac version is back in stock (which I preferred) so I contacted the sales team via the formulary and a sales person changed my order to the black X-Pac version without any hassle. The order got shipped minutes later and arrived the next day (via the fastest DHL option). Absolutely perfect! 5 Stars!
Now to the bag itself. I‘ve used the bag now daily about for three weeks and here is what I can say:
The promo photos by Alpaka are misleading. I own all the items they show on their promo (Nintendo Switch, iPad Mini, Sony headphones, Fuji X100) and there is no way ALL of these items fit in all at once. I’ve tried. In fact the X100 (+lens cap) alone is already a tight fit. The Ricoh GRiii on the other hand fits perfectly with room to spare.
Secondly, the iPad mini pocket only covers the iPad about 3/4 of the height which is annoying. The Apple pencil doesn‘t stay in place and gets pushed off when attached to the iPad because it‘s not held in place by the pocket front. The bag also doesn‘t offer a pen loop and the two internal pockets don‘t go deep enough for the Apple Pencil or a regular sized pen. You have to think about what items you carry inside the bag.
Thirdly, the magnetic lock of the strap is great but changing the strap size is annoying and cannot be done while wearing the bag. You have to take it off, adjust the strap size, which is difficult and fiddly, put it back on and see if it fits now. I‘ve seen better solutions on other sling bags.
The material: the X-Pac material is great. I got caught in a summer downpour and all my items remained dry and safe inside the bag. But remember to fully close all the zippers, there are some tiny gaps remaining where water can get inside and cause damage to electronic devices. The internal fabric is a bright orange which is a great contrast to my mostly black items.
The outer front pocket is also great. There are two internal pockets as well as a detachable key fob. My bag came with two key fobs which might have been a mistake because I couldn‘t find any info of how many key fobs are included so keep that in mind.
Lastly, my daily load out looks like this:
Main compartment:
iPad mini & pencil, Miyoo Mini Plus, Anker magsafe battery, a small zipped pouch with wall plug, charging cables and card reader.
Front compartment:
Lip balm, pain killers, Solid State cologne, keys attached to the key fob.
When I go out to take photos I‘ll add the Fuji X100 or the Ricoh GRiii to the main compartment and as I said earlier, the Ricoh fits the best and still has a tight space left for a folded Sony WH-1000XM4 if I need them.
Overall I give the bag a score of 3.5 stars (closer to 4 than 3). If I could give one advise to Alpaka, it would be to make the bag just a tiny amount bigger so that the iPad pocket covers the whole height, internal pockets would be deeper and more comfortable to carry. Oh and please don‘t mislead with the promo photos by showing all the stuff it might fit on one photo.
I can definitely recommend the bag if you don‘t carry a lot or mostly flat items.

Alpaka go sling mini
A great choice for EDC gear. Holds everything you need and travels discreetly with you. The materials are top class. The zipper is a plus, I hope the key clip will be updated to the new alpaca style, but this works too.

Edc-kamoille aivan loistava valinta. Mahtuu kaikki tarpeellinen ja kulkee huomaamattomasti mukana. Materiaalit ovat ihan top luokkaa. Lukkovetoketjusta plussaa, toivottavasti avainklipsi päivittyy uuteen alpaka tyyliin, mutta toimii tämäkin.

Great Sling
Decided to buy the Alpaka Go Sling Mini as a first sling. Material and build are great, great fan of the X-pac material. Internal organization is sufficient and can definitely fit more than your usual EDC/pocket emptier.
Great service from Mukama for a prompt shipping.
