After carrying the Tomtoc EDC sling for awhile, I got this one because it’s bigger. But honestly, it’s so much more than just a bigger pack. They thought through all of the details. The swivel for the strap is a total game changer. Goodbye strap twist. I use the bottle holder for a small umbrella. I use that hidden pocket for my phone. It’s snug, but easily accessible. I’ve had this sling for two months and use it daily
Out of most of the reviews of this bag you're one who gave a good perspective of what it's like to actually fill up the compartments of the bag and show the capacity of this thing in a visual aspect Best part is knowing I can actually fit a tech organizer here, that's hella neat. Honesty I wish you did state what the Oz or size of the water bottle was so I know what I bottle size I can really fit there. Most people are just so vague when it comes to bottle size
Hello, I’m glad you found the review helpful. The water bottle is a 24 oz hydro flask bottle. The bottle is 3 and 13/16th inches in diameter and 11 and 1/2 inches tall. Hope this helps.
@@alphaartisan I see, so it can fit much larger bottles than what some has stated- that it could only fit up to 22 oz or 18 oz Gives good perspective of the inside's carry capabilities thanks for the review and reply, it's being delivered to me this week 👌
Been looking for a sling for a while, about set on this one and have been looking at RUclips to find reviews about this exact bag, and you’re the only good one. Thank you.
Happy to help, I have found these bags to be a great value, while still delivering a ton of quality. Consider subscribing for more reviews. Happy holidays!
I ended up sleep buying this and tomtoc 40l for travel so I can carry both on mini vacation. Both had 20% off. Hopefully both will satisfy my needs or else imma have to continue trying to find the bags I need. I just feel alpaka and aer is overpriced and gimmicky
Thanks for this, I never thought about a sling. I suppose on/off quicker than backpack. I bet if I watch the video before I comment, you'll let me know right? Lol, thanks for posting!
Great review! Really appreciate you moving around/ jumping with it. Many slings slip a lot. Trying to decide b/w the 7L and 9L. Have you tried the 9L? Does it feel a lot bulkier? The 7L placement looked perfect when you pulled to the front, do the think the 9L would be/ feel over sized? Again great review! Thanks a lot!
Since the bag has a vertical orientation, how do you access the contents of the bag -- meaning the back zip pocket and the main zip when you sling it around to the front?
@@alphaartisan Thanks! I was wondering the same and given I didn't see anyone make mention of vertical orientation (that seems like a relatively recent change) I am guessing others are like you. That was one of the first things that jumped out at me: "How can I easily get at the stuff in the main compartment while swinging it to the front?". I guess the short answer is "Not very well". Thanks for the reply!
@@tagman12 yes and for this reason I favor one shat have a side access design so when I put the strap around the headrest and have the sling sitting horizontally I can still get to items inside.
Thanks for the review. Just curious what you would recommend between this and the H02 in terms of comfortability. I’m a student so I’ll be walking around campus all day, and I’m trying to decide between this style sling or a more messenger style bag.
Hello, I’m glad you like the review and I do have a recommendation for you. The explorer sling is much better set up to do walking especially at hot days. If all you’re caring is an iPad for class and you don’t need to carry a 14 inch laptop. This would definitely be my recommendation for you.
@Alpha Artisan awesome. Thanks. I sometimes feel that tech organizers keep things neatly in place, but there are limited items that can go in, especially with the tomtoc sling bag. I end up using a small packing cube for it.
@@premreginald this tech kit is to small for most things. I really like Alpaka’s elements tech sling and peak designs tech sling. I use them both as tech packs in larger bags
I just got it and I love it. But that outer pocket is it strong? I don't want it to tear since it feels differnt then the rest of the bag since I have it pretty full I don't want something ripping
Tomtoc changed the name of the bags for some reason. So the 9L is now called the 7L, and the once 7L, is now called the 5L.

@alphaartisan ill be carrying my 14.6inch samsung tablet, keys, chargers, powerbank, pens, notebook, some type c adapters, sunglasses, earbuds. Not far, mainly travelling between home, University, gym, parks.
@@muhdzulhilmi7399 I believe the HO2 is probably more appropriate given the fact that my 11 inch iPad Pro barely fits into the a54 with a decent size case on it. Unless the Samsung is long and narrow, it probably won’t fit.

Specifically bought this for my Steam Deck., fits really well with the original case. Pretty cool looking bag for everyday use too.
Glad your enjoying it
Hey, I need the bag for same usecase. What else can you easily fit in the bag? Can i fit a raincoat along as well??

There are other good videos about this bag too. I got mine only after watching those videos.
I just got one of these for Christmas and I love it, I take it to the gym and for work.
You've just helped me finding a solution i've been looking for!
dude you're the best marketer

It's been 1 month, anything new to inform us regarding your experience with the bag?
This bag is awesome. Fits my Samsung Tab S7FE with the keyboard case perfectly.

Yup. Just bought one. Thanks
If anybody wants to know I have a iPad Pro 12.9 with a zugu case on it and it fits just right in the 7L
You Legend! Thanks for the bit of info. I have one too! 😊😊
I appreciate your thorough review!!
I found this review very helpful. Thank you.
Hello Marc, I’m glad the review was helpful. I will have more bag reviews coming in soon.
Great review, just oredered one, can't wait to get it for my trip to Italy
Great review after seeing your video I just placed order on this bag and hopefully it will do everything I wish to do.
Tomtoc makes a great product and this bag should serve you well. It’s a good blend of organization, durable materials, and pockets.
Been looking for a bag to fit my Macbook air 13", the slighty bigger version of this bag should be perfect!! Great review thanks you got a new sub
smart review 👍

I have only tried the 7L but I think it’s the “ right size” for this configuration.
Nice review. Good job. 👍
Great review man!
Thank you! Happy you liked it. It’s been a great sling.
Really good videos Bro keep it up!!!
Since the bag has a vertical orientation, how do you access the contents of the bag -- meaning the back zip pocket and the main zip when you sling it around to the front?
I don’t, I keep on the go items in the horizontal pocket.

Thanks for the great review on the bag. Can you share details on the jacket you’re wearing at the start of the video.
i bought it after watching your video. Please share the tech organizer that you are using.
Alpaka tech kit

I haven’t experienced any issues. I wouldn’t loaded it full of pointed objects but it should serve you well
Got it. Ty sir
Awesome bag and awesome review
On a side note, what’s the information for that jacket at the beginning?
Do macbook air m1 fit in it?
Do you have the dimensions on hand ?
Your link goes to a T24 model where description says 5 liter. Im confused 😊
Tomtoc changed the name of the bags for some reason.
So the 9L is now called the 7L, and the once 7L, is now called the 5L.
It's very confusing, but they are def the same bags, as well as the same sizes. There's no industry standard when it comes to measuring Liters for bags, so you really shouldn't put too much stock in the liter capacity. Just try to judge based on reviews. One company's 20L, is another company's' 26L.
Hi, im considering the A54 and the H02. Between these two, which would you pick or prefer.
Without considering the price difference of course
What are you going to be carrying and how far?
@alphaartisan ill be carrying my 14.6inch samsung tablet, keys, chargers, powerbank, pens, notebook, some type c adapters, sunglasses, earbuds. Not far, mainly travelling between home, University, gym, parks.
@@muhdzulhilmi7399 I believe the HO2 is probably more appropriate given the fact that my 11 inch iPad Pro barely fits into the a54 with a decent size case on it. Unless the Samsung is long and narrow, it probably won’t fit.
Will the bag fit a Sony ZVe10 with 11mm lens?
Yes it will
Nice review.. do you think is it safe to put a camera inside??
That would depend on the camera. It’s not set up very well to carry anything much larger that an Aps-c camera with a pancake lens.
Nice video😊 I know Tomtoc has a dedicated Steam Deck bag, but would a Steam Deck fit in here comfortably?
Yes, the steam deck will fit inside of the pack
Hi, Excellent review. I don't think my 13" laptop will fit tho. Know of anything better for a 13"?
Check out the 9L version of this same bag. Might fit a 13” laptop.
@@ejvorb7768. Thanks so much.
can this bag fit ipad pro 12.9" ?
I’ll have to check that, stay tuned.
It can, it’s a tight fit and without the case.
@@alphaartisan Glad this was asked and answered! Thanks for the help and great review :)
Can it fit the s8 ultra? Or should I go for the 9l?
I don’t believe so
For anyone asking, I bought the 9L and the tab fits great, but the strap can't wrap it, the fit is snag so it's not a problem.
Great review dude! Just ordered this off Amazon. I would of liked the 9L but they don’t ship the 9L to Australia

is it useful for college? im packing an 11" ipad, water bottle, headphones and maybe a sandwich, good review!
Yes, useful for college but a lunchbox for the sandwich won’t fit inside of the sling
@@alphaartisanooohh okay, thanks a lot!
Can you advise me on the best and newest bag to hold headphones, phones, power banks, ipads,... for men? light and easy to carry
What style headphones?
@@alphaartisan shooting headphones
@@PhuocLe-pk6ts this would work it’s deep enough
So hard to see a dark bag against a dark shirt as background
Appreciate the insight, I never considered that, and I see your point. For my next video I’ll see if I can change that up. Thank you.
Hi
Good video

Hello!, thank you :)
another reviewer who likes to wear dark clothes and showcase a black bag!
I see no travel safety futures available on bag...is a no go for me...sorry!
What kinds of features would you like to see?
Like what?
If the clip locked that would be great
@@TB-cq3tl If what clip locked?
@@JoeLopez the main chest buckle. I have some bags that have a lock for that so someone can't just unclick it from your chest
