Overall rating: 4.4 / 5 from 10 reviews.
Great product. Delivery was a little slow but that’s not the companies fault. Bag is very well made. No loose threads or excess material anywhere. I especially love the quick access magnetic opening. Still keeps my gear secure and I don’t have to unzip the pack to put anything inside. Well worth the price.
I first purchased the original Alpha Pack in X-Pac VX21, and I instantly loved it after packing it out and using it (see my other review of that model). I was so smitten with it, that I decided to purchase this Tactical Edition in the tougher X-Pac X50 material and take it on a short vacation. You can immediately tell that the material is beefier than the VX21 210 denier model, giving the Tactical Edition the edge in the wear-n-tear category, especially if you take it on plane travel like I did. The Tactical Edition proves to be just as roomy—perhaps roomier?—as the VX21 model, holding my iPhone 17 Pro Max, my sunglasses in their hard case, and my DJI Osmo Pocket 3 with battery extension and DJI mic all at once, with no bulge whatsoever. If I had one change that I’d want, it would be that the awesome sling strap could be extended to about 8-12” longer when fully extended, to better accommodate my long torso. Otherwise, this is an outstanding—and great looking—sling bag for dudes! So…is the Alpha Pack Tactical Edition worth the premium? You bet it is!
I have been through many bags, go bags, edc type bags throughout my life and during my time in service. This is THE GREATEST bag I ever came across. I am blown away by the quality and thought that went into this bag. I love it and love their team! Let’s gooooo!!!!
Great bag makes it really easy not to have to carry a bunch of stuff in my pockets and the clip works great. Also really like that it’s really easy to get in and out of the front and back pouch with the magnets.
Great design. Lots of pockets, good size pockets, and amazingly well constructed. Perfect for organizing my cables, connectors, adapters and chargers. The stowable belt allowing the user to convert to a fanny pack carry is a great idea.
Way smaller than expected. Every pocket/feature is just slightly too small to be useful. Can't put a leatherman in the elastic straps because the straps are too tight. Same for my preferred pen in the main compartment. I have a very small Ridge wallet that doesn't fit comfortably in it either. No idea who this thing was built for after being so excited that it would be nice but it's so small it's functionally useless to me.
Store owner replied: Hi Andrew! Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback — I’m sorry to hear the Alpha Pack didn’t meet your expectations. We include the full dimensions and pocket layouts on the product page, but I understand that even with measurements, it can be hard to get a true sense of scale until you have the bag in hand. I appreciate you pointing out where the fit felt too tight for your setup. That kind of detail is genuinely helpful as we continue to refine the design. Please reply to your order confirmation email or send a note to shop@emberwolves.com with your order number, and we’ll get a return started for you right away. Thanks for giving the Alpha Pack a try!
I spoke with Mark and he said to send him a short video of the product defect of this order. Magnets don't work on both the front and back. Would like to get a new one shipped to my new address to see how the bag actually works without a product defect new shipping address: 3100 SE 168th Ave, APT 78, Vancouver, WA 98683
Top Notch! The best!
Convenient and classy. My bag is so handy. It fits everything I need and is so compact. It’s so convenient to be able reach in for my phone or wallet without having to open the whole bag. Keeping my bag close is so important to me, it fits so comfortable. I love the color and the fabric, it’s so rich. I encourage anyone to try this bag for comfort, and practicality.
High Quality bag that improves upon the competition! Great bag, very high quality for a new companys first product that definitely stood out to me. Even the box and presentation of the product just felt premium. There was a lot of thought that went into improving upon shortcomings from the sling designs that are common out there. Metal hardware everywhere they could, fidlock hardware, removable reversable offset shoulder strap, its just all awesome. If you're on the fence, pull the trigger you won't be dissapointed.
