Alpha Pack

I love this product. Well made, well engineered, stylish, and durable. The quick access pockets are a game changer for shoulder bags. Nice job Ember Wolves!

The design is unique and innovative - the magnetic enclosure openings make for quick retrieval of things like your iPhone or Keys. I wasn't able to get the MagSafe charging to work - but it may have been my battery, I'll have to try another. The inside with the loop atachments seemed small at first, but they will easily accommodate a Leatherman Arc, Spyderco Paramilitary 3, and other likewise sized tools. Great for pocket dump plus carry.

I like the overall concept of the Alpha Pack, especially the magnetic quick-access pockets and the different ways to carry it. For occasional or short-term use, I didn’t notice any issues. However, after wearing it for a full day, I found several snags on my clothing. The attachment points where the buckles connect to the shoulder strap have sharp corners near the stitching, which rub against the fabric and eventually catch on it. This might not be noticeable during short periods of use, but it becomes a serious problem when the sling is worn for several hours. A bag designed to stay in constant contact with clothing shouldn’t have exposed sharp edges that can damage it. I’m surprised this wasn’t caught during product testing or quality control.
