The ALPAKA Go Sling Mini offers the perfect balance of compact design and practical organization for minimalists who value quality and functionality. This 5L capacity sling, measuring 11.4"x3.7"x7.4", is thoughtfully engineered, accommodating your essential daily items while maintaining a sleek profile against your body. The weatherproof Axoflux 300D recycled fabric protects contents from light rain, while silent YKK zippers provide smooth, quiet access to your belongings. Three purpose-built compartments keep everything organized: a front pocket with magnetic key tether, a main compartment with padded sleeve for iPad Mini or Nintendo Switch (but not larger devices) and a secure rear pocket for valuables. The premium Fidlock magnetic buckle offers quick access with secure closure, though it adds slight weight to the overall design. Adjustable for right or left shoulder carry with an additional grab handle for versatility. Ideal for urban adventures, daily commutes, or light hiking when you need just the basics. This is not designed for those seeking maximum capacity, but rather for the discerning minimalist who appreciates thoughtful organization in a less is more lifestyle.

Good stuff useable bag. Not a fan of the strap.
I like this bag for it’s pockets and construction. I don’t like this bag for its stiffness and seatbelt type strap and magnetic clasp. The color is a neutral green and is very low key. The pockets are great for its size. There is a small pocket on the front, different size pockets on the inside (some with a soft Velcro type material. Then there is a pocket on the backside. All pockets have water resistant zippers. The inside of the bag is white which makes it easy to see items. Things I don’t like: the bag is very stiff. Though the size is perfect, it is stiff. There is a small grab strap stitched in the top and it sits very flush with the bag. Several times I find myself going to grab it and you have to dig your fingers under it to get a hold, kind of a two handed process. Lastly, I am not too fond of the strap. It is made out of a seatbelt type material that is very durable and pliable but seems to conflict with the rigid bag and complicated buckle. The buckle has a magnetic closure that attaches together in a clever way, but I have had situations where at certain angles the buckle separated. All in all an interesting design. I prefer a standard clip or no clip. I wear the bag on my back, but find in many situations I end up carrying it from the small top handle. At that point the strap with its fancy magnetic buckle gets in the way. Also, since strap is made of a good material it does not slide through the buckle easily that may be a good or bad thing for some people.I will still use this bag because I do really like the bag for it’s size and interior, not a fan of the strap.

Nice bag with lots of room
This is a great bag. It's worth the money and is very well made. The fabric is thick and the zippers are sturdy. It's nice and roomy with multiple pockets, and can be used for many items. It can comfortably be worn as a chest bag or fanny pack. It unfortunately didn't work out for my needs as a CCL holder I was looking for a bag to carry my security 9 in. It does have a pocket lined with velcro, but it was in the wrong position for me when I draw. Even with my weapon in it there was still plenty of room to carry others items.. keys, chap stick, phone, money/cards and ID.. essentials needed for daily use. It can easily function as a purse.

Decent Bag with Strap Design Flaws
The Go Sling Mini Green has a great overall design and well-organized pockets, but I found the strap to be a significant drawback.The magnetic quick-release mechanism is bulky and uncomfortable, especially when the bag is fully loaded. Its placement near the middle of the strap makes it harder to adjust while wearing and prevents the strap from wrapping comfortably around one's back, making it uncomfortable.Additionally, the strap is not removable, which limits versatility compared to other bags from Alpaka. A removable strap would allow users to customize the bag or replace the strap with a more comfortable option. For the weight this bag can carry, a padded strap would have been a welcome improvement, as the current strap design doesn’t provide enough comfort for prolonged wear.While the bag’s layout and aesthetics are solid, the discomfort caused by the strap design significantly affects its usability. With some changes, such as a padded or removable strap and a repositioned quick-release mechanism, this bag could be much better.

Well designed and flexible in carry
Great bag for my everyday carry items. Plenty of room for tech, small tools, extra hygiene products, etc. I like the key tether as I almost never need to take my keys out, but it's nice to not need to rummage around if I do. Also, paired well with the Hub Pouch for organization of little essentials that would otherwise be annoying to find in the larger bag.I also like the light grey lining. I almost wish I could have had the Xpac version, but the orange lining isn't my cup of tea. The light grey keeps all my items easily visible.As others said, the Fidlock isn't always the most comfortable, but I don't have any problem one handing it for detaching.
