Is this TOMTOC EDC BAG the king of slings? - REVIEW - Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, iPad, MacBook Pro

[@ope314]

Thanks for the practical and straightforward approach to this bag. Big fan of Tomtoc, and was considering picking this up on prime day.

[@RideorDieGaM]

Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it!

[@ope314]

I'm glad I saw this video, because after a couple weeks, this bag is exactly what I wanted. Thanks again 👍

[@alexisramos9064]

Glad you showed the steam deck. I tried the Jsaux sling and realized I don’t want to only carry that and I need something to fit my surface pro for work and my steam deck and this is perfect. Thank you!!

[@Canon_Ayres]

Great content man! Ordered this bag in the 7L a couple days ago and I’m very excited. Keep up the solid videos!

[@RideorDieGaM]

Thank you very much. I sincerely appreciate it!

[@mohammedfaiisal]

I use this to carry my 14 inch macbook pro and a few accessories, whenever I travel to work. It's the perfect compact size. I'd love a backpack version that was probably 9-10L max, but remained compact like this

[@tzachmost]

Exactly! Why no one is making something like this, and for me - i'd like a simple lower pocket, a bit protective for small mirrorless camera. That's all I need.

[@mohammedfaiisal]

@@tzachmost hopefully we see it one day. I love compact backpacks, that are super lightweight and easy to carry. I bought the Fyro T22 backpack. That won't be out until the end of the year. I bought that for when I have to carry the extra items, like food and drink to work, when I can't be bothered ordering. So that backpack will be perfect for that. Whereas this one is perfect for just my laptop and a few accessories. This would still be big enough to fit a food container anyway, but I bought the big one for when I need more than one food container and more than one drink also

[@alquanna]

Used to have a 9L Columbia backpack that could hold a similar amount of stuff to this Tomtoc - I think it was advertised as a kid's model though. Only got it from a garage sale for like 10USD but was still sturdy enough to last 3 years of regular use 🥲

[@tzachmost]

@@alquanna there’s always Alpaca Metro 12L. I’m thinking hard about this one, but it’s 110€ for me, a bit of an ouch

[@mohammedfaiisal]

@@tzachmost that's about £76 for us in the UK. Looks like a great compact backpack. With 12L you can add a couple of extra things, rather than a small tight 9L but this tomtoc sling feels smaller than a 9L. Tomtoc don't usually give accurate numbers

[@user-oh6ic9pz1t]

Good video , great info. Thx

[@RideorDieGaM]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@strbm4440]

this is exactly what I'm looking for, subs + like for you my friend. Thanks for showing up the steam deck, will carry my ROG Ally & Laptop there :)

[@universalfresh]

I have the smaller one . I find it almost impossible to wear , it slips off and the strap extends unasked no matter how I configure it

[@stormtrooper5558]

This bag is ok, but I prefer the Patagonia Atom 8L. Reckon it is for the use that the individual requires for.

[@samb8996]

Where are you riding to ?

[@Ceghap]

Hi, do you think samsung galaxy tab s9 ultra will fit into this?

[@RideorDieGaM]

I'm not sure but I would search the reviews on amazon to check. If it's not bigger than a 14 inch laptop I think you'll be fine.

[@dinchtfx]

05:25 Hi, will that internal pocket zipper scratch/touch your exposed macbook?

[@RideorDieGaM]

I doubt it. It's positioned slightly below the laptop pocket and the tablet pocket on the opposite side. I also searched the reviews and didn't find a single mention of scratching.

[@Two_Names]

Interesting bag, but too big for my use. The 7L version does interest me though. Besides the amount of stuff it fits, how well does it wear while you're walking or moving around? Does it stay in place well or tend to sag? Does the strap retain the set adjustment?

[@RideorDieGaM]

It has stayed in place and I haven't experienced any issues with movement, readjustment, or sagging. I think some of that has to do with how it's sort of flat against the back and not pulling away like a full sized backpack. However I do think someone with smaller shoulders may have issues with the wide strap.

[@nebo23]

Great Video! would have been nice to see the insides once the Steamdeck was added. We're you able to try if the steamdeck will fit the 7L version? TIA!

[@RideorDieGaM]

No, sorry. I bought this with my own money so I don't have the 7L. It's a pretty snug fit in terms of length so I doubt it would fit in the smaller version with the case and everything. You might do better to get the tomtoc sling specifically made for the steam deck in that case. It has some extra storage too.

[@nebo23]

​ @RideorDieTravels Thanks! will go for the 9L then, the specific one for sd requires one to remove the official case and will also not allow to add the ipad 11, been looking for a review that will show an SD and an Ipad being stored on an edc bag, appreciate the big help! :)

[@RemusIPRUNA]

I have a laptop with the following dimensions: Height 19.50 mm (0.77 in) Width 324 mm (12.76 in) Depth 224.70 mm (8.85 in) Does it fit?

[@artbrutnewyork]

Great review. Question: could you pack this relatively flat within a larger suitcase? I know it’s not foldable/collapsible, but hoping it can be carried in a suitcase until I reach my destination.

[@RideorDieGaM]

Thank you! The padding in the back and strap give it some thickness but if you had enough room I could absolutely see it working for that. I use a packable backpack myself for travel but have considered doing what you're describing with this model.

[@artbrutnewyork]

@@RideorDieGaM thanks for the response. I’m not a fan of most packable backpacks because they lack structure and seem so flimsy. I’m thinking if this Tom Toc can rest relatively flat in a suitcase it will be great alternative.

[@waynebeck7801]

What would be the smallest bag that can hold an iPad air

[@RideorDieGaM]

It really depends on how much extra you want to hold. If it's just the iPad, look into a tablet sling with a strap. If you want to hold other stuff, I think the smaller version of this bag would be a good fit since it is rated for iPads.

[@Flavius_Tanigoi]

Just ordered one for myself .... tell me this, can i fit my Macbook air 13'', ipad mini, and airpods pro max ?

[@RideorDieGaM]

It fits my MacBook Pro 13 inch with my 11 inch iPad Pro and airpods max so it should be fine.

[@narik_60]

can it fit two 14 inch laptops ?

[@RideorDieGaM]

It would really depend on how thin they are.

[@Evil.Totoro]

This is the closest bag to replacing my beloved Manfrotto 11L sling bag that is no longer being sold. Do you think it could fit a mirror less camera with an extra lens, while still holding an iPad?

[@RideorDieGaM]

Probably? You can get the depth measurements on their website. It probably would be a little rough with a huge zoom lens. But I can imagine it will fit in there.

[@venzdaniel719]

Is this waterproof?

[@RideorDieGaM]

I would not submerge it in water but I would say it is somewhat water resistant given the rubberized outer shell.

[@mikkeljensen6347]

Will it fit the new MacBook Air 15 ?

[@RideorDieGaM]

I would not think so as it's only rated for up to a 14 inch laptop.

[@mikkeljensen6347]

@@RideorDieGaM thanks. just had to ask as it is only slightly bigger.

[@RideorDieGaM]

@@mikkeljensen6347 I would recommend to order it and give it a try and return if necessary. At least one person in the reviews says they are putting a 15 inch slim laptop in it.

[@MisterKN]

Sorry tried it and it is little too small for a MBA 15"

[@drinks_menu]

The way it can't fit a 15" laptop rlly kills this product for me.

[@literate-aside]

Yeah I hate that my wallet can't even fit a lasagna.

[@syts77]

EDC and 15” doesn’t really go hand in hand anyway.

[@NomadByNecessity]

My 14" fits perfectly.

[@nathanruben3372]

Such a stupid bag, asymetric bag, how can be king of sling bag? It allows sling from both sides but the front zipper poket allows to access only from one side. It could accessible from both sides with one zipper in the middle or two zipper at sides. Just pure design failure...

[@RideorDieGaM]

Which bag do you prefer?

[@RK-um9tu]

Ignore him. He is just a hater....
