Thanks for the review, needing a secure sling for a 13" laptop. We're flying to Barcelona and onto Rome. I like the Tomtoc 14-inch Compact EDC Sling better but the fit doesn't work.🍀

I have a very similar, just slightly bigger (a 17" squeezes into it, but super tight and nearly too big for my 16" M1 mac) bag as backpack from "CaseLogic". Not as good sealed but water never came into and it looks "cheap" enough so nobody would expect something very worthy inside.

I really like these compact slings, but it seems that a macbook, iPad, and some headphones will max it out. Not sure I could fit chargers, and water bottle…etc. for the price it seems to be hard to beat though
@alphaartisan Жыл бұрын
Depends on the size of the headphones

I have the 7l sling and it’s my favorite. My only complaint is Tomtoc does a lot of black material inside. It’s so dark it can sometimes be hard to find things.
@alphaartisan2 ай бұрын
Yes, and now Tomtoc is using High-viz interiors a lot more.

I'm considering purchasing either the 11 inch version of this sling or the a54. My carry is an iPad 9th gen (10.2 inch), small hand lotion, chapstick, hand sanitizer, Miyoo Mini Plus emulator (about the size of an original Gameboy), compact 10k mAh Anker powerbank, Galaxy Buds2, keys, wallet, small notepad, small knife, and flashlight. What do you think would be a better fit for this loadout? Another thing to note is I prefer to carry my sling on my chest/ in front. Rarely put it on my back.

I'm between the 9L version of the H-02 and the A54, wich one would you say is the best as carrying a 14" laptop for confort and accessibility ?
@alphaartisan Жыл бұрын
The H-02 would be a better fit for this. The A54 Isn’t large enough to carry a laptop.

Great video! I got the bag a few days ago but for some reason the buckle in not in the middle but at the base of the strap, making it awkward if you want to carry the bag on the right shoulder. Have they changed the design or?
@alphaartisan3 ай бұрын
Do you have enough adjustability on the end of the strap to center it with the buckles? If not, I would reach out to Tomtoc or the Amazon store for a replacement. They have a very good warranty and I haven’t had any issues exchanging things out.

@@alphaartisan If you click on the link you have provided (which is the one I used to purchase it) in the description of the video, you can see how it differs from the bag you have. The buckle is non adjustable so if you carry it over your left shoulder - it sits near the elbow, and if you put the bag over the right shoulder - the buckle sit all the way at the back. I absolutely love the bag, just wish it had the release at the middle of the strap as its on yours and I dont see them offering that as an option, unfortunately..

Thanks for your review. I got mine yesterday. The bottom two compression straps ares ideal to carry a compact umbrella. Pockets are a bit limiting if you have loads of tech gear so I added the tomtoc organizer pouch too. Awesome combo, thanks again 👍
