can I throw some advice your way?… dude stand up and wear the bagt!!! On all your videos I never see you put the bag on and stand up to see how it looks. It's like you're sitting down the whole time. How do I know what the bag look like on the body?
For anyone wondering. I have the 7L sling in black. I have the 12.9 inch iPad Pro with the Smart Keyboard and it fits. I had to keep it inside the bag for a while to allow the seams to stretch a bit. I like how small the bag is and I only like taking my 12.9 inch iPad Pro with me and I don’t need anything bigger for like laptops. So I wanted to make it work lol. So it is possible lol.
@@marioissupreme9449 my biggest one is 40 oz and it’s easy to fit if you aren’t carrying your ipad pro. the zippers would close with the ipad and the bottle but you might damage your ipad because a) it’s too tight, and b) the sleeve doesnt full cover the 12.9 so it might get wet.
I think I will buy the 9L version because of the waterbottle holder and the laptop sleeve. Why? Cause I am a student who needs water and the laptop sleeve can be used for a college block and some other things. My main way of note taking is the IPad but I wanna future proofs myself.
Oh awesome!! Thank you!! I am a one bag traveler (Cotopaxi 42L) but have been looking for something like a sling for my travel EDC that would hold my 13” laptop. I really liked the 7L but knew it wouldn’t work for me. This is brillant!! Super excited to add this to my travel collection. Thank you for the great reviews and Happy Holidays!! 🇨🇦
hey, i have been looking into the tomtoc store, but there is no 9L version, have they discontinued it? or the 7L is perfect for my 14 inch laptop (23 cm x 33 cm size)? can you please update further?
tomtoc Compact EDC Sling Bag, Minimalist Chest Shoulder Crossbody Bag for 13-inch New MacBook Air M3 2024, 13-inch MacBook Pro, Small Daypack for Daily Use, Work a.co/d/83mfCX9
Updates and upgrades as of July 24 - They stopped calling them by volume and started using the fit size. Much better to avoid confusion. - I got the 13" in khaki and the interior comes in black and grey. There you go, all your cons have been heard. What a bag overall. Thanks.
I bought the 7L Tomtoc, I was not impressed. The materials seem too light to hold up over the long haul. The padding on the strap is super light or just completely lacking. The kinda hidden pocket on the back sticks way out and is awkward. This makes the back of the sling unbalanced. My 9.7 iPad with case was tight (with Otterbox case). It did fit a 32oz water bottle on the interior. I paid $45 ish for this sling. I do not think it is worth that. I would rather pay more for a sling that is higher quality. I'm returning mine.
I was looking for a sling bag for travel, not too big and not too small. I found your video and I ordered tomtoc 9L. I’m happy with the bag. I can fit my iPad 12.9 with a case, morphie charger and my Bose headphones. Thanks !
@@CSscrubs You are good to go with just about any case I would think. I don't have my 12.9" iPad any longer, but even my cheap HP 14" Windows laptop fits.
Looking for a day bag to bring with on vacations to carry basic stuff and have some extra room for souvenirs. I think the 7L will work best! I already have a couple backpacks, but I really like the smaller form factor and ability to swing it around front for quick access or extra security.
Anyone know if i can get my 12.9” iPad Pro with keyboard case, naked Steam Deck and my AirPod Max in there comfortably in the 9L? Would be cool if I could throw in a PS5 controller too. Don’t know how much extra room I would have after all that. Really wanna pull the trigger on this one. Thanks for any help on the matter ✌🏽
Hey Raul! I’ll test that when I get home! I’m out on the road this week. I don’t have the steam deck, but I’ll test w/ a switch and AirPods Max and laptop the size of that iPad Pro.
Hey man - just found your channel and got to say... This was a fan-tastic comparison video. Seriously... one take, and you covered the difference between them perfectly. I got a sling as a gift for the holidays and I'm really liking this "sling life" so far, but I noticed immediately with the one I was gifted that maybe it didn't have all the pockets, etc that I was looking for. I knew that Tomtoc had the "medium" sling but hadn't yet seen the larger 9L version until earlier today. I think the 9L may be the perfect bag for my needs which is a sling to carry around a Surface Pro 7, battery pack, charging cables, light jacket, small tripod, etc. Thanks again for the time you spent putting this together. Cheers!
Hey thanks Cory! Glad you found the channel and delighted that you’re embracing “sling life” - there are some great bags out there for those who are willing to explore a more minimal carry!
I got the 9L thinking it would fit the iPad Pro 12.9+ Magic Keyboard combo since it also fit a 13 inch laptop, but it doesn’t as the magic keyboard is 9.4 inches wide (and quite thick too) while this laptop is 8.8 inches and looks to be a very snug fit. Hopefully this helps someone out there.
Hi. Wanted to know if this 9L black tomtoc bag can fit a Asus 15.6inch portable monitor or just the 14inch portable monitor Asus make. They are very slim.
Yea not sure what you are talking about. On the 7L in the laptop area I get my XPS 13 and Galaxy Tab S8 plus. Also a rav power charging brick. Some cables. Spare cell and BT headphones. DJI Mini 3 and controller.
XPS 13 plus is only 7.84 in on the shorter side. Magic pro 11 case is listed as 8.0 on the short and it apparently fits tightly. So yeah, anything < 8" should fit. But there are only very few laptops that are 8" on short side. Most 13" laptops, like Lenovo or Macbook air 13 are almost 9" so yeah, none will fit.
I’m looking forward to get 9L one for my laptop but my laptop is 14.5” (12.92“ x 8.72” x 0.63”) which is a little longer than MacBook Pro 14” from my research. idk if it’s gonna be good, tight fit or not
Did want the 9L bag I ordered the 7L bag it hasn't come yet Amazon only had the 7L one my question is that can the 7L hold a nintendo switch and a Oled steam deck ? If they were in cases
Just ordered the 9L bag..very excited *Update* my bag came in today and it’s PERFECT..I was a little worried it was gonna be to big for my liking but it’s just the right size..all I need it for is my iPad..folder..and maybe a notebook for my phlebotomy class. Thanks for the review to help me decide!
I order the 5l version. Did i get a messed up one or something? The one i got wouldn’t fit my 11 inch iPad in the Magic Keyboard at all. I ended returning it and ordered the bigger version today.
Wow, this might fill the gap for me. Normal slings are too small to be useful for me (vs just using my pants pockets) and for back packs I like to have a bit extra room for occasional jacket/lunch. This is why I went with the city pack pro instead of city pack. This one is very reasonably priced too!
Good video, mate. I just pulled the trigger on the 7L version... I am hoping to use it as an everyday carry bag to carry pens, notepad, reading glasses, and other small things. I also own a Timbuk2 Command 2017 medium which I absolutely LOVE, but unless I need to bring a laptop with me, it's a big beast! I found myself leaving it at home for quick runs around town because it's just too bulky. Hoping the Tomtoc 7L will become my new bag of choice. :) Be safe!
@@ThePerfectBag I am liking if after a few days of use! As a complement to further organize the interior of the Tomtoc 7L, I was wondering if the Maxpedition Fatty organizer would fit in well? I'm hesitant between the EDC model which is slimmer, and the Fatty model. Do you have any experience with these?
@@ThePerfectBag Yeah, they are very well built and popular! There are so many variations though, so gotta do your research before you buy. I am leaning towards the Maxpedition Fatty myself.
Is there some elasticity to the water bottle pocket? I know you've said before it was geared toward a 20oz bottle. Do you think it could manage a 32oz?
I have the 9L version of this bag and it's great! I have a Galaxy Tab S8 Plus and it's pretty big, 12.4 inches. It fits perfectly in this bag. It's my new EDC bag and I carry it everywhere.
when you say you have the 9L version, are you talking about the one that says 7L, if not can you point me to where you got yours from, thanks in advance.
I don't have that device to test, but It does fit a 13" laptop I think. I hope you get a good response from the community here if anyone has that ipad to try for you.
Just wanted to thank you for this review, coz i bought the 9L based on your very detailed, no-nonsense walkthrough. My only complaint is I wish I bought 2 during my purchase so I could have had 1 specific for everyday work carry, and another for a personal leisure trip carry (so I wouldn't need to switch my loadout for each scenario). Will be buying another 1 of these. Just super-fun to carry, and fits most edc for any application. Thanks for your very honest review!
Thanks. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I'm only going to be carrying a tablet so the 7 will do. I have a messenger bag for when I need to take both a laptop and a tablet, and a bunch of other stuff.
The issue is that over a year ago, they were listed with different volumes on Amazon, where a lot of folks bought them (including me) and then later TomToc adjusted the volume labels…that’s why you see different volumes….the bags didn’t change, the listings were fixed.
@@ThePerfectBag Thought so too...The biggest now says 7L....There is a 9L that is different and it opens on the side...I guess I'll get the bigger 7L 🤷 Thanks for the reply!!
When he made the video, he was correct. Since then, tomtoc has renamed the slings and now calls the old 7L the 5L, and the old 9L the 7L. They must have recalculated the capacity of the bags and thought they were being misleading. So they are now the 5L and 7L.
thanks for the great reviews. just landed on your channel recently. for a traveler's day bag that need space for a 12.9 ipad pro and small camera gear, would you suggest the TomToc or the 5.11 lv10?
If I was carrying all that texh I’d be looking for a small daypack instead of a sling. You can always wear on one shoulder but for longer walks be more comfy with both straps. A few I would look at: Wexley Stem, Aer City Pack, Greenroom136 Northseeker, Able Carry Daily Plus. All would be fun for your carry.
Hi! awesome review. Just wanted to know whether this bag can fit packed alpaka tech case (regular one), which I'm using. Is the main compartment spacious enough?
How does the material holds up after a while, coz im concern with the material at the front centre of the bag…it doesnt look like it could stand up against heavy use
It was a naming thing with how the bags were listed on Amazon - they have been adjusted so I adjusted the title. The 9L I show is the 7L on Amazon - I need to update this video completely

@@ThePerfectBag thanks for the quick reply! I'm in europe, so gotta be something I can buy here. Plus the price of the TomToc is banging. I actually just ordered the 15" a couple of days ago, but it hasn't shipped yet. Canceled the order and made a new one for the Air M2 13" instead. Ease of portability is a must for me, without having a huge bag.
@@ThePerfectBag Oh yea, my bad. I also bring a 13.6 M2 MacBook Air with me everyday. Ive been housing these in my 5.11 Rapid Origin. Just trying to downsize my load while still carrying my essentials.
Hi there can the 12.9 iPad Pro with the Magic Keyboard can fit in the tablet compartment in the 9L? I might have missed it if you mentioned it. I wish they had a 16 inch version for this so I can carry my MacBook Pro 16 in. Then again it might be to heavy on my shoulder. I like these because I can wear it in the front. I hope they add a pocket for large phones on the sling as well. Thank you for the great video.😊
Yo Wsp man! After watching your review I decided to buy one. But that was on the 17th. I still haven’t gotten an email or anything saying it’s been shipped out🙁. How long did your stuff take to arrive?
It seems they dont sell the 9L anymore. On amazon and their official website they show a 7L with the design of the 9L you have shown here and a 5L with the design of the 7L. It makes it very confusing on which one to buy at this point. Or maybe i am just misunderstanding something along the way. Any way to help clarify that for me? It would be much appreciated.

Can you carry a water bottle attached in some way on the outside of the 9L sling bag?
I don’t think that will work well on this particular bag.
Can you wash the bags? I’m thinking of purchasing the tan color but I’m worried it will get dirty fast!
I’m sure you can - although I haven’t tried it. Mine hasn’t really shown dirt badly
Love the review! FYI - the MiiR insulated bottle does not sweat and is super secure, would be an ideal fit for that bag.

I’ve had no issues. Although I think durability won’t be as much as a $100 bag.
i see the title has been edited to show 5L and 7L but the video mentions 9L. are the 9L discontinued? can't seem to find anywhere on amazon 😢
It was a naming thing with how the bags were listed on Amazon - they have been adjusted so I adjusted the title. The 9L I show is the 7L on Amazon - I need to update this video completely
When he made the video, he was correct. Since then, tomtoc has renamed the slings and now calls the old 7L the 5L, and the old 9L the 7L.
They must have recalculated the capacity of the bags and thought they were being misleading. So they are now the 5L and 7L.
Have you reviewed the baggizmo?
No I haven’t !
Put the bags on so we can see how it looks on body.
Great feedback. You’ll be delighted to know in my more recent videos that is a staple feature of my reviews.
Would a Macbook Air M2 15" fit? It's exactly what I'm looking for.
Unfortunately no. The 9L fits a 14" but not a 15". Sorry about that! Maybe the Aer Travel Sling?
But there's a chance it fits...1 inch sometimes is off either way....if you buy from Amazon...you can have free returns.
@@ThePerfectBag thanks for the quick reply! I'm in europe, so gotta be something I can buy here. Plus the price of the TomToc is banging.
I actually just ordered the 15" a couple of days ago, but it hasn't shipped yet. Canceled the order and made a new one for the Air M2 13" instead.
Ease of portability is a must for me, without having a huge bag.
got review esp loading the laptop and good recommendations on the inside to have more colors
Thanks Parry - appreciate you watching!
hi! Will the 7L fit a Galaxy Tab S9+?
I would think so - I fit my iPad Pro 11” no prob if you want to compare size
What Chromebook is that . For sizing

very informative and well arranged video. Subscribed.
Welcome to the channel!
Im looking for a sling bag that will fit my Steam Deck case. Can anyone tell me if the 7L would be enough?
I think it would fit
The 7L bag will fit a Steam Deck in it's official case. However, there isn't much room left in the bag once it's in there.
This is a the perfect video I am looking for as I need a laptop slot as well. Thank you! Thank you!
Glad I could help! Welcome to the channel!
can this fit a 14" laptop?
I think only 13” in the large one
Would you be able to squeeze a 12.9 iPad Pro in the tablet sleeve? NOT the laptop sleeve.
Nope.
@@ThePerfectBag Would you be able to recommend me a sling that would house both of those devices for me?
I just want something compact, I like slings but Im open to suggestions.
@@Nunya_XO the 12.9" iPad pro and what other device?
@@ThePerfectBag Oh yea, my bad. I also bring a 13.6 M2 MacBook Air with me everyday. Ive been housing these in my 5.11 Rapid Origin. Just trying to downsize my load while still carrying my essentials.
Hello Sir! Can i ask if the 9L version does 13 inch macbook pro fits on that bag? Thank you!
I didn’t try that laptop but my understanding is that it does
@@ThePerfectBag Thank you sir! I ordered it and also subbed for this helpful video and also for the response!
@@Coronacht07 Welcome to the channel!
Hi there can the 12.9 iPad Pro with the Magic Keyboard can fit in the tablet compartment in the 9L? I might have missed it if you mentioned it. I wish they had a 16 inch version for this so I can carry my MacBook Pro 16 in. Then again it might be to heavy on my shoulder. I like these because I can wear it in the front. I hope they add a pocket for large phones on the sling as well. Thank you for the great video.😊
Yo Wsp man! After watching your review I decided to buy one. But that was on the 17th. I still haven’t gotten an email or anything saying it’s been shipped out🙁. How long did your stuff take to arrive?
From Amazon?
@@ThePerfectBag no from their website
Maybe send a note on IG to them to ask for help? sorry to hear that you haven't gotten confirmation.
@@ThePerfectBag yeah I did but still no response. I’m thinking of just canceling but I really wanted it
@@ThePerfectBag do they have a number? Because still no response on anything
maybe it's an umbrella pocket....
Sure! Could be either!
They show a water bottle in their own pictures, but I think it’s usable for lots of things
It seems they dont sell the 9L anymore. On amazon and their official website they show a 7L with the design of the 9L you have shown here and a 5L with the design of the 7L.
It makes it very confusing on which one to buy at this point. Or maybe i am just misunderstanding something along the way.
Any way to help clarify that for me? It would be much appreciated.
I’ll look into this tomorrow and see what’s up,
@@ThePerfectBag appreciate the quick reply. Didn't really expect to hear anything back. I'll be waiting to see what you think.
@@ThePerfectBagafter even more searching I still haven't found anything definitive myself. Maybe someone else could weigh in as well?
@@ThePerfectBag Any update on this ? Even your title says 5L vs 7L but then also says 7L vs 9L.... I'm confused
When he made the video, he was correct. Since then, tomtoc has renamed the slings and now calls the old 7L the 5L, and the old 9L the 7L.
They must have recalculated the capacity of the bags and thought they were being misleading. So they are now the 5L and 7L.
Nice review. Is it safe to put a camera inside?
I’d use a padded bag inside this bag for camera
Will it fit the ipad 12.9 with a full frame camera or is it gonna look bulky?
Nice comparison of the two.
Thx!
Which white 11" chromebook is that?
Totally my favorite cheap as heck and long battery! $175. amzn.to/3WB7tXm
Don’t expect great performance - expect long battery and small form :)
Thanks for this! As a writer -- cheap with long battery is all I need!
Totally. I love this little thing. And if I break it…whatever it’s cheap as hell
Liked. Subscribed. Great content. Thanks!
Is it 5 and 7L or 7 and 9L? I want one that will perfectly fit my 14 inch macbook pro
It’s actually 5 and 7 - changed on Amazon about a year ago
The light colored one he’s reviewing is actually the 5l and the bigger one is a 7l.
When he made the video, he was correct. Since then, tomtoc has renamed the slings and now calls the old 7L the 5L, and the old 9L the 7L.
They must have recalculated the capacity of the bags and thought they were being misleading. So they are now the 5L and 7L.
Thank you for explaining this, I was so confused! @ThePerfectBag should add an update to the video and description about this.
