Man tomtoc is coming for everybody. Aer go, Alpaka flight, Bellroy lite, Rennen ripstop, all getting some more competition.

seriously dude, Tomtoc savage as hell lol

Think I’d want the larger 3.5L size as I often do need to pack an umbrella (living in US PNW), water bottle, or similar larger (or longer) item… that just won’t quite fit into a smaller (or shorter) bag. Really like that lightweight fabric and the newer style low-key branding.

@Nomads.Nation

Agreed!

I do wish more slings go for removable straps that way you can retire the slings into admin pouches.

I think the REI Co-op Travel Organizer can hide the straps behind the padding kinda like a backpack

Tomtoc is doing things better and better, I think they still have room for improvement in sizes (their new slings tend to feel bulkier for what they fit than the old ones)

good points

Hey Aaron! I'm still loving the vids, and thank you for feeding my addiction to bags. I wanted to request that you review some of Beis's products. My girlfriend loves that brand and she's got a trip to Ireland coming up, so she's looking into backpacks. Beis also seems to have a sport sling that looks interesting. Again, keep up the amazing content!

@Nomads.Nation

Mopak wanderer sling is also a good alternative at an affordable price. I alternate between this one and a troubadour sling that is very similar to the belroy sling.

Great review as always. Thanks for flagging this new drop from tomtoc. I love the Wander T-26 for busy days, but I have been looking for a good true 3-4L sling for regular days. Just one question, why do you think the sling would not work well as a crossbody? I prefer to use my slings messenger style most of the time. Thanks!

@Nomads.Nation

Ай бұрын

just because of the strap configuration - it is marketed as a 'chest bag' not a crossbody. It can be an ok crossbody, but not the best

Great review on these. However, I have 3 slings in my rotation that are hard to replace/beat… Aer Go Sling 2, Bellroy City Pouch, and the Bellroy Lite 7L (if I want pocket relief AND a water bottle in there).

This is just perfect for me in 1,5l and the price is unbeatable.

@Nomads.Nation

Ай бұрын

I just don't really get the small slings. Like it just seems to solve the same problem my pockets are solving. One of the important things that I want in a sling is to have the capacity for an umbrella and a water bottle, things that I need but can't keep in my pockets. What I really like about the 3.5L here is that its soft so if it's not filled up then it's not that bulky, but you have the option to fully deck it out with all your needs. Think I might pick this one up!

@Nomads.Nation

17 күн бұрын

To me you nailed it - it solves the same problem so I don’t have to carry anything in my pockets. They are essentially pocket relievers so all I have to do is carry my wallet in my front pocket, then my sunglasses, AirPods, gum, keys, and phone can all be carried in the sling (which feels much better than stuffed pockets imo)

love bags that don't have flashy logos anywhere. Bellroy should take note

@Nomads.Nation

2 күн бұрын

the strap configuration makes it much less ideal for that (hence the name - they went all in on it being a super comfortable chest bag)

I have the original tomtoc sling, and the only downside with this new bag is that it still has the same small pockets in the front. They should have copied Bellroy’s new bags and put a vertical separator to have two decent sized pockets. Which would you recommend personally, Evergoods CAS2 or this bag? (3.5 version)

@Nomads.Nation

Ай бұрын

I agree on that vertical divider, but it can make it a bit prescriptive depending on what you carry. I love EG CAS2 but would personally take this

Ahh im always down for tom toc. They were my first good sling and travel backpack and when i had a slight tear 2 years later and they replaced both for being a good customer. Best bang for buck company right now. Fight me on it

well, thet are all out of the 1.5L so now we know which is more popular. They are also advertising the 2.5 (which they do not have) I am more intrested in the RFID capability. I will look on your site to see if you have any reviews on this.
