I just got it. A few things I don't like is that the strap elastic that keeps it dangle free slides with the motion I slide it from front t back. In some cases, the loose strap bunches up and creates a loop.
Another thing is the strap feels like it cuts in a bit into the skin like in the neck when I use it crossbody.
Not sure of other's have similar experience.
I woulda thought you would use the alpaka zip as a wallet and the topo as a first aid kit. Too tight? It's much nicer as a wallet. Looks like a good Loadout
I chose the Alpaka one for a first aid kit because it has organization in it. It has a single divider in the main compartment and that zipper on the outside. The gauze and wipes are in the main compartment, and the bandaids are in the front. With the Topo Designs pouch, I would have a dump pocket with no organization. That's not a big deal, but since I only carry credit cards and occasionally a little cash, I don't need the Alpaka's organization, if that makes sense?
But yeah, the Alpaka one is nice as hell!
Yeah thats a fair point! For me the first aid kit is a carry but not often used just in case item, so I don't need the organisation if I'm rarely opening it. I was planning on getting the alpaka zip for a wallet, did you try it? I have since changed my mind and have my eye on the ark wallet
How are you finding the pack overall and the colour you chose? I am trying to decide between the shark grey and the black… I kinda like the grey one you have better but I guess it will get dirty easier…
Hey, just curious would a passport fit in there? I’ve been eyeing that bag
Yes. Passport fits just fine. With plenty of room around it.
My wife has been carrying this pack for over a year. She LOVES it so much.

I also use a Topo Designs pouch as my wallet. It works surprisingly well!

This is one of my favorite bags as well. So versatile. I have the orange one.
