🚨UPDATE: *Thanks to everyone* who's commented that TomToc has improved their design and now has a well-contained strap slack-management system so there's no more flopping around of the strap's end (if you get the updated version). Also, there are now new colorways available in some countries including white, a two-tone green, and a two-tone grey at the time of writing this comment. This, to me, makes the TomToc even more compelling. Being in Canada, I still don't have access to the other colorways, but as soon as I do, will be picking up the two-tone green one.

Would the TomToc fit an A5 notebook?

Great comparison vid, just looking at the Bellroy on Amazon now and it seems like they've increased their interior pockets, maybe they watched your video!

I'm also in Canada and purchased the Inky Blue (indigo blue and bone/white) via Amazon; it looks great. It has since arrived and I'm experimenting with my carry items and organization but also enjoying the process.

As someone, who is not a regular viewer of your channel, and is just looking for some shopping advice, this video is such a blessing. Well-produced and covers anything I'd want to know. I'm so glad there's people like you, who spend so much time and effert to create this kind of high-quality content on KZread. Thank you :)

I just bought a tomtoc a week ago. They’ve changed the strap so the excess no longer dangles and added new colors, green included.

Great review, I have a bellroy sling lite that I love and was thinking of getting a mini or regular in premium for a less sporty-looking bag. I did not know that the opening was different on their non-lite slings. The lite main compartment zipper is straight down the middle and allows one side of the opening to completely expand to the maximum size, which makes getting things in and out so much easier and the bag way more functional to me, it looks like their venture slings share this design but not the premium look so it looks like I have some thinking to do.

After watching this video and your standalone TomToc review I went that route for my four trips this year. With TomToc updating the strap so it works like the Bellroy and new colours, I grabbed the Inky Blue (dark blue with bone/white) I'm super stoked for it to arrive on Monday so I can sort my EDC and maybe work the bag into my daily items.

Great review! Useful that you went through both the pros and cons of each. Thanks!

This is soooooo much production quality for a sling bag lol. Appreciate the clear, concise speech, thx

I love the TomToc. I carry it every day, and it's down right awesome. Works perfect for EDC and travel.

Straight to the point and great comparison of all three bags. Subbed!

i got the tomtoc in grey colour based on a review you made and it’s the best purchase of 2022 thank you, btw my strap is clean no loose straps or laying around

For everyone looking for a solid sling, take a look at the bigger version ( 14,25 "x 8,66 "x 3,94 ", volume: 7L ) of the TomToc EDC sling. It has much better straps and is not to big and in my eyes perfect. I have been carrying the TomToc EDC Sling for 5 months now, it has been my favorite way of carrying my EDC. In the main pocket i carry my Maxpedition fatty... its fit perfect. I have a thin bottle in the inside bottle holder, and the front pocket has enough storage for phone, keys, wallet, flashlight etc.

Love your channel bro. I'm new here but I've already watched more than half of your uploads. It just has a therapeutic effect on me. So calming for a super anxious person like me.

Maurice, Great work here on YT! Your product reviews are the best I've found and you are one of the best presenters on YT! Keep up the great reviews. Great quality videos and the best advice in a clear and easy to understand format. Love the links in the videos so I can jump ahead when I'm watching them for the 2nd time!

I loved this review!! This is the most, incredible video about slings is the best! 👍🏽👍🏽 As a Travelers Company Notebook owner myself, I’ve always struggled to find the right sling/bag to carry it comfortably. Thanks again for your insights!!

I loved how the Tomtoc designed where their strap ends (on top rather than the side), but after actually wearing it, i hate how it made the bag feel like it kept protruding out.

Agreed, Bellroy is a lot cleaner and refined. Going to get the 7 and the transit 28 in ranger green for my upcoming trip 👌🏻

How do you like it?

Loking a bit more traditional looking alternative to the TomToc, and wanting to have the straps at 90degrees, I found the Eastpack Cnnct Ty bag, which is great. The materials feel pemium, it's super roomy, the colors are professional looking and it really comfortable to wear and looks the part. Great as a personal item and to carry around everything I need.

Excellent review - great production quality 👍

I use the Bellroy Sling Lite. It‘s a different material, more like outdoor jacket fabric. The size is kinda in between these two Bellroys. You might want to check this one out. I personally love it. And it has anchor points 😉

Mate best review ever, really liked how you compared all three bags on your body in the one screen. That helped me pick the mini. Cheers

I really needed this review. Have been using the tomtoc sling for a year and was thinking on changing for the bellroy sling since I feel a bit of clutter inside my tomtoc. Tomtoc is amazing on a daily basis, but feels like extra weight when traveling since I can't add much stuff.

The TomToc is available in white now in the smallest size. I have both the white and black.

Really great video! Loved the comparison and excellent video editing. Subscribed!

Another great video! Tip: You can fold the flap of the tomtoc and you use it as a standing office organizer on your desk. :) i love it. It is an underrated functionality. They sell it in white as well! Currently waiting for the delivery of my tomtoc g sling! The only thing i wish the tomtoc sling can do is having the sling removed and just use it as a bag organizer and put it inside my bag. I can still do it but its more complicated. The g sling has a removable sling! #Excited i hope you can review it too!

Very good, I'm always looking for a good EDC bag. Looks like the Tom Toc is my pick. My EDC is a little more than a notebook.

Thank you for this video! I'm trying to switch from a bulky woman-purse into a sleek, androgynous edc sling, and this review helped immensely.

Such an impressive review! Awesomely done brother. Just found you and I loved your presentations on several videos.

Great video, for me the best sling right now is the Bellroy Venture sling, a bit more flexible and tough, and with a huge open on the main compartment... maybe it would be something you can consider.... keep with the great content... Saludos desde México!!!

Awesome vid! Straight to the point, professional, and I’m gonna get those hook things

This review is awesome... 🧐 Didn't expect that. Thanks. Very helpful

Recently bought an EDC bag influenced by your videos

I am so glad I stumbled across your channel, I came for the TN + carry and love the structure of this video. Subscribing!

Well done on the video! I wanted the TomToc sling, but I wound up getting their CroxBody EDC Sling Bag because I wanted to carry my larger tablet and Bluetooth keyboard, as well. I may go back and buy the sling for lighter days because they have a promotion where you can save money on purchasing 2 items and I'd like to get a pouch for some accessories I like to carry.

Just got the Tomtoc and I love it!

I wish Bellroy include more interior pockets and a rear pocket in all their slings. I'm sure they could do it without affecting the aesthetic much at all.

Glad I found your channel. You’re doing great work

Fantastic video! Extremely helpful! Thank you

In an odd coincidence I was actually opening a package direct from China with the TomToc when your video appeared in my feed. I got it at a very small portion to even your low-cost listed and as I'm definitely form over function and quite often very frugal and I'm more than happy with my purchase. I have a Bellroy Weekender, I do like their products. But for a crossbody or sling I like the wider strap and my "FoB" came with the redesigned strap. One thing that's often not mentioned as it is always assumed that all tech travelers are male is that I happen to be female .. and I'm fine with the Tomtoc aesthetic. It's a utilitarian bag, it's not meant to be "pretty", although it is quite handsome! Great video, thanks for the review!

Great video, super helpful review!

the bellroy venture sling series have larger zipper entrance. the 2nd compartment in the 9L sling does have extra organization pockets like the mini sling.

This is super helpful. Thanks for sharing your feedback

8:36 , they fixed this in the version I got . No loose straps dangling

I have a Bellroy wallet and I like it very much really well made and great quality.

A very good comparison. Thanks!

Really useful, thank you. Subscribed!

Great honest review.

What an excellent review -- thank you!!

I’m really enjoying your videos great job.

Thanks for the comparisons. I might just get the tomtoc.

I love the Tomtoc one. It’s my wheelchair bag.

Got the larger bellroy a few years ago because of this video. I load it out similarly and put medkit items in instead of a benchmade. I find I use the polysporin the most. But it's good to know I'm ready in case I wipe out on my bike. And there's a tourniquet in case I find someone bleeding out.

New sub here !!! Great review . I was looking at the Bellroy lite sling or the TomToc , but now I definitely am going to pick up the Green Bellroy . It looks so much classier . Just got to save some more 💰 . Thank you for sharing . You have a great channel . so much info . I have been back tracking and watching your older vids . Wish you well .

Great review. I have the Bellroy so the comparison helps a lot. I think I have to find that Tomtoc ;-)

Great review!

Great video! Thank you.

3:15 & 3:41 "That's what she said!" 😂 Anyway, great (and fun) comparison. Currently thinking about buying the TomToc Sling (because Aer is sadly not really sold in Europe). Sounds like we can get a lot for a good budget (and I actually like the look of TomToc over Bellroy).

Thanks for the comparison review. Very well explained and filmed. Will you consider reviewing Bellroy’s latest Camera Sling (10 litres). I would love to hear your take on this sling especially if you carry a camera with you often. Thank you.

I'm a paper based productivity guy, but I'm increasingly finding gear like slings compelling. I think I prefer the Bellroy sling - the larger one. I prefer this kind of sling, without complex pockets. Better to carry a couple of separate pouches in a larger sling, imo. As a pair based guy, I carry a couple of filofaxes. Thanks for sharing.

Great content, thank you! Please let me know some details on your magnetic Sunglasses. This is exactly what I was looking at for a long time. Thx and keep up with these great content

Great video sir!

Great review.. a great way to put into perspective the actual capacity of these slings. I do have a question...why carry a watch if you're going to put it in the bag?

Very helpful, thx. First time seeing your content. Very well done! One additional point in favor of the TomToc, it's available in 3 sizes! I wonder if the optional colors feature a lighter interior?

Loved the video and subbed immediately

Great sling review … answered a lot of questions for me. Unexpectedly though … I’d like to know more of where you got your glasses and what style they are as well as the magnetic sunglasses attachment! Really cool! Would like to get those as well as maybe hear your review of them?

Funny. I discovered your page last night. Cuz I’m looking for a edc bag. On another channel someone mentioned tomtoc, I did a search and found your review. Which was great, so I subscribed. I’m just not sure if TomToc ships to Australia, didn’t see the option on their site, Now I wake, and I see that you’re reviewing the three bags I’m trying to decide from ha. This and your notebook videos, I already love this channel. Thanks.

For info: just bought a tomtoc, the strap does not dangle anymore, you can adjust it like the bellroy. It is a closed loop, didn't even know it was like that before..

Amazing video. Was literally looking to see if a full size travelers notebook would fit in the mini. What a happy coincidence. Curious if you've seen the new Venture sling in 6L. Seems to solve all your problems.

Hi Maurice! New to your channel… love it !

Have you looked at the Atlas Sling V2? It is minimalist and very organized.

Awesome review..subscribed

Just because of the "That's what she said joke" You got yourself another subscriber.

I like your Seiko watch. I have the same. Got it in 2013. Wish I knew they got discontinued a few years ago. Their prices skyrocketed to unreasonablness. It has always been the goto entry level diver, but now.. meh lol

This was a really useful video for me because I am watching many videos about Bellroy and Tomtoc sling bags. Thank you so much. As a fellow KZreadr with my own channel I may say that your videos are amazing. Of course I subscribed to your channel. It is always nice to help each other especially when we are fellow KZreadrs. Still your video is really amazing that I'd do it even without being a fellow KZreadr 🙏🙏

Hi Maurice - great video! My organiser of choice is a Leuchtturm A5 notebook. Does an A5 notebook and/or an A5 book fit in the Bellroy Sling (regular)? I can't be certain of the compartment size from the measurements. Thanks in advance!

Just found your channel. Great videos. Nice work. Just one question. Why do you keep your wristwatch in your bag, instead of on your wrist? Thanks again for the videos.

Slings are good to protect pickpocketing. But i lost the whole bag 😭. I had bell roy regular size. So true about the main compartment zipper. I always carry umbrella with me. Extra effort to put it and take it out. I miss the magnetic clip and the strap adjustment. My sling was so good. Gonna about to give tomtoc a try and found this video. Will order now. I trust you.

Great review

Nice Review..what is the brand of the gray bag to test the hook of items please?

Can you tell me what glasses you are wearing and the magnetic clip on. Thanks.😊

What make is the pen holder on the traveler’s notebook please ?

thank you

Great stuff! I’m looking for the most compact sling that can accommodate a pair of AirPods max and iPad mini. Which one would you recommend? Thank you very much!

Will your traveler’s notebook fit in the bellroy lite sling 7L?

Now tomtoc have olive green colour!! I think you need to check it out

Nice! I ordered a bellroy venture wondering if it’s to big. It has more organization options. Waiting for it to get here. I just saw some aer city v2 that I’m wonder if it would work for days I want something smaller or to compare against the venture. You should check it out to compare against the Tomtoc

Can the 8 inch tomtoc bag fit a small camera? I'm looking for a sling for my Fuji X-E3 and I want to know if its a good fit

This was great

@MauriceMoves I LOVE the round neck/collarless shirt you're wearing. Who makes it? And thanks for your incredible videos!

Great comparo 👍🏼👍🏼 I gave a Tomtoc to my son last year and am tempted to get one for myself. Why do you keep your wristwatch in your sling? 🤔

Excellent review! Genuine question. Why do you carry a knife?

#Maurice, I like your "Glass" and with the "Sun Shade", but I don't see the link for it?

where did you get those glaseses with the magnet sunglasses attachments?

Did you really put in "That's what she said"!!! Nice

Awesome review Maurice! 👏 I'm leaning towards the Sling Mini for its seperate compartments inside vs the Sling. My question is, on the Tom Toc, what size is that? 8" or 11" or 14"

Is there any of these things that have the third strap to keep the bag in place? To me i need one of these things if they had that feature

What kind of device can the tomtoc and the sling mini fit? I have a larger size ereader, screen of about 8inch, would either of those bags be able to fit it?

I would love to know, which watch strap exactly do you have attached to your Seiko watch? The combination looks incredible! Also thanks for the useful video
