    I'm a huge user of Alpaka stuff and this bag is one of my favorites. Versatile like none, I can use it as a commuting sling, on my gigs as a music accessory bag, photo/video shoots, and it was a perfect companion on a summer trip from Sweden to the UK, by train. Everything I needed during the ride was with me while the roller bag rested up on the luggage shelf.

    I'm a big fan of Alpaka's products and even a bigger fan of Alpaka's customers support (they really take care of their customers). I own and use several Alpaka products. Unfortunately the Bravo Sling Max did not work out. On the version that I owned the shoulder strap was my issue. It is on the short side. The padded end is fixed in place and only adjusts on one side. I could never get the sling to hang comfortably (I'm a bigger guy with a long torso). I'm fairly sure that if you are a average to small person this would not be an issue. I also found the sling could get very heavy quickly. When packed out it was better hanging on my shoulder like a briefcase rather than a sling (but that may just be the strap again). I hope this helps someone. Thanks, Maurice!

Recently changed careers and it stores tech for pop-up workspace and my switch for breaks along with my snacks still. On the weekends, it's my D&D bag with books, dice, rolling mat, and of course snacks.. versatile is an understatement.

    Your channel is amazing. Thank you so much for many reviews including this one. I got this Alpaca bag about a week ago and I absolutely LOVE it. I store my 14" MacBook Pro inside, along with an A5 leather journal + cover, leather field notes wallet (a bit smaller than a travelers brand notebook), iPhone, keys, a Maxpedition pouch with all kinds of "just in case" tools/grooming/emergency supplies, AirPods, sunglasses, and several large fountain pens. In the external zippered compartment I carry my 11" iPad Pro in a Logitech keyboard case. And in the hidden back pocket I carry an ID badge on a lanyard. I can wear this on my motorcycle without fear of water ruining my electronics. I wear it as a sling in front when on my motorcade or driving a car, and when walking it's on my back (sling mode) or on one shoulder (messenger mode). It is the most comfortable and wisely designed EDC bag I've ever used...and I have tried so many. It even doubles as a handy desk surface (due to its contoured shape) when placed face down underneath my laptop. Sooo versatile.

      The bag’s strap is criminally small. If you are more than 150 lbs or perhaps a lady with a larger than “average” chest-you’ll want to consider the “extended strap” addition.

    A lot of bag reviews focus on the bag itself and what it can carry and where, but I really yearn for more focus on how the bag carries. How the strap attaches, and how it fits on the body and how the user interacts with it everyday. I had been disappointed with the Alpaka tech brief's shoulder strap and was looking for you to show footage of the strap on how it fits on the body just to see if this was the same. I only got a glimpse of the same problem for a second or so at 6:24 of this video. From this shot I can see the padding ends up on your chest when you wear the bag in sling mode higher up the back. This was the same as the strap on the tech brief. There is simply no good way to shorten on side short enough to get that padding over the shoulder were it belongs. The only way to get the padding on the shoulder is to use the bad on a lower carry position like a messenger or side carry bag. Bummer. One strap that has solved this problem is DSPTCH's badded strap, you can remove one end entirely to get that padded portion closer to the bag and thus on your shoulder in sling mode.

      I’m not a doctor or counsellor; just an internet stranger who also struggles to get out of the house sometimes. It seems like you’re being hard on yourself. If you have the desire to go outside but can’t find the motivation, that might be executive dysfunction or a mood disorder, not laziness. I dunno. There can be shame attached to being considered lazy, and often stigma attached to being neurodivergent or depressed. It kinda sucks either way. I hope you can find what helps you feel good about getting out more!

    I was skeptical when I saw the notification. "Another EDC bag from Maurice? Come on."
    I'm not much of an EDC person, but based on your video before, I got the Aer Day Sling 3 Max X-Pac. It's been a good recommendation and after using for several trips, including a month long excursion through Asia shooting videos every day, I liked it but the bag was a bit snug for my needs. After watching this video, I'm irritated that I might now spend more money to get another bag. Of course, I'm going to investigate it thoroughly, but the sling aspect and the additional height to fit a laptop or folder seems very appealing and might be what I'm looking for. Plus, I like the orange interior - that has made a big difference in the Max X-Pad. Thanks!

This would be useful as an EDC going to work, but for travel, I might need a full-on tech backpack. I am considering the Aer City Pack Pro, which is a great backpack with all the features I need even for a quick weekend getaway (the clamshell design of the main compartment is chef’s kiss to me). But one issue I have is I have a 4-level spinal fusion, so I have to take care of putting too much weight on my back.
    Any insight will be greatly appreciated.
