Honestly i got my first tomtoc from your recommendation long ago and fell in love with their stuff not only that but their customer service is on point. I got A54 7l sling and a 40l travel backpack now im thinking its time to add xpac smaller sling to the rotation.

You are correct,, I bought my first sling “Tomtoc” about 2 years ago, loved it ,, but kinda too small for my needs. I like to carry I guess more than other. I purchased the Bellroy 9 L and it’s PERFECT in every way . I may net carry it every day , but it goes with me everywhere I go . But when I do carry it , it’s not uncomfortable at all. Lot of guys asked where I got it . I guess if Tomtoc made a 9 L I’d probably grab it up . Great video 👍

I stumbled upon your channel today with your series of deinfluincing. I stayed for the quality content and insight. The reason I'm getting into this world is because I build things and I'm often out in the field with bulky tool boxes or simply not having what I need. As helpful as a lot of channels have been, I dont get the impression most of the people actually use or need the things they are promoting. Seems like people are more into the bling and show than actually fixing shit out in the field... not trying to hate, just an observation and why I relate much more to your aproach.

Have you looked at the Large Dendrite from Vanquest? It's not customizable, not water resistant like xpac, and I don't think it's quite as large as the Tomtoc you featured. It does however have a lining that velcro will stick to, the strap is at the ends, and it's removable.
