tomtoc Compact EDC Sling Bag 3L-10L, Minimalist Crossbody Bag Chest Shoulder Pack for Men Women, X-pac/Recycled Polyester

This tomtoc sling bag lives up to its name of being a minimalist bag with unexpectedly large storage for your every day essentials. In one go, the bag can fit my Nintendo Switch 2, my iPhone 16 Pro, wallet, and keys without any issue. The outer material for this bag is sturdy and water resistant. The material used for the strap is thicker than what one would expect, an indication that it is made to last. I am a "carry-my-huge-bag-pack-around" even though most of the time I am only carrying my water bottle, but I think I'll be going around more with just this smaller, more versatile, bag going forward.

My favorite sling bag. High quality material, strong zippers. 3 compartments: smaller on the back (you can fit small wallet there, smaller items that you need, cash, chapstick, etc.), another smaller one on the front (with a key strap, you can attach keys or AirTag), main compartment (with few dividers, good space to fit bigger wallet, bigger smartphone, GoPro, small tripod, battery bank, cables, earbuds, etc.) Adjustable strap, long enough for bigger-frames but adjustable enough that fits almost every size. I use it as my everyday sling bag, it’s very durable. I wear it on the back but something (depends on the location) I will move it on the front and it’s still comfortable. After a year there are no signs of wear and tear. I like that it’s not too bulky, rather slim look but you can fit a lot for that size. Very functional, practical sling bag for EDC (EveryDayCarry) or travel.

This bag is the ULTIMATE sling bag for day trips! I've used this bag several times, both casually around where I live and while visiting other states, and the only issue I've ran into is the straps on the bottom were not large enough to wrap around a flannel shirt I brought on a chilly night and ended up unneeded. I ended up kinda rolling up the flannel and putting it over the bag which resulted in near-zero inconvenience. This bag is set up more like a satchel than a sling bag which is really convenient as you don't have to vertically dig down into the bag. Because of this more width-oriented style, this bag is a bit bigger than conventional sling bags, but it doesn't look bigger since the extra size is distributed along the path of the strap. While actively walking around I usually wear it flipped around my back but it isn't too awkward to wear on the front as well (although like I said before, it's a little bit bigger, so if you have a small frame it may look like you're drowning if your intention is to wear it on the front). I also have a concealed carry permit and easily fit everything needed into the bag while wearing on the front, with easy access for my hand. Inside the bag there's tons of storage room with plenty of pockets for organization, including a zipper pocket, a webbed mesh pocket, and two large thin pockets (one inside and one external on the back of the bag). I've stuffed this bag to the brim with everything needed for several hours long trips on the train without issue. You can easily fit a 16-20oz drink bottle in here too along with your normal goodies. For my everyday carry (keys, sunglasses, money clip, silicone baggy with medication, hair ties, butt wipes) I have more than enough room with unused pockets. The inside is nicely padded so keeping fragile items is easy; I regularly keep my sunglasses in a soft case, and have even threw in camera lenses worth thousands of dollars in a pinch. The bag feels great overall. It's not heavy weight so it doesn't weigh you down with extended use, but it feels really solid. I love the handle on the back of easy carrying when needed. The zippers are also coated with rubber or something similar, making them resistant to water. I wouldn't trust this being thrown into a body of water, but would feel very comfortable it wouldn't leak if going through a normal storm. Endurance wise it's held up perfectly after ~10 uses. I've had it in the sun, snow, rain, humidity, on country dirt roads and downtown Chicago. There isn't a single thread that's came loose or really much sign of use. The exterior is rugged for cloth and feels like it's made of ballistic nylon with the bottom half of the front coated in a rubber covering (like neoprene). Overall: can't recommend this bag enough if you're looking for something with above-average carrying capacity that's also stylish and versatile. If you're looking for something more minimalist/small steer clear of this bag.

I will say this: I had a feeling this wouldn't be the "perfect" sling bag. It was all over certain video sites, EDC reviews, you name it. The best budget bag, but not the best bag. Honestly, after using this bag for a few months, I would agree. This bag is one of the best bang-for-your-buck slings out there. The negatives are pretty minor, but for me they are noticeable. Pros: -Well made. The quality is as good as higher-end bags I've bought for more than double the price. -Size. The version I purchased (4.5L) is the perfect size for someone who just wants their essential travel gear to be right next to them as the plane takes off. I've kept this on during takeoff and have not heard one complaint from flight attendants. As a matter of fact, one asked me where I got the bag as they wanted one for themselves! If you're wondering why the heck you'd want your bag on you anyways, it allows you to keep personal essentials that you are worried might get stolen (e.g., wallet, passport) right at your chest. It also lets you conveniently grab things like your AirPods or your phone without sifting through your pant pockets. - Organization. There are three main compartments for storage. However you want to slice it, for a bag this size it is the right amount of zippered compartments. The key clip is a nice touch but I hardly use it. The four pockets in the main compartment are perfect to organize things like your earbuds, wallet, cables, portable charger, pen, phone, and whatever else you got on you. Cons: - Non-ambidextrous. This bag is meant to be on your left shoulder and cannot be swapped around in order for it to work correctly. This was known when I bought it, but I realize now that I prefer putting my sling on my right shoulder. Having this interchangeable would have possibly made this bag a true everyday carry. - The logo. This is a complaint a lot of people have about this bag, but it is pretty much true. The logo is pretty noticeable on the bag. No one has ever commented on it, but for a bag with a "minimal" look going on, the logo is way too large. Honestly, those are the two main concerns. I could complain about the buckle and the lack of premium interior protection for your phone/sunglasses, but that is negligible for this price point. I love using this bag for travel. It is perfect for that need. I use another bag for daily use when running errands, but it's mainly due to the strap layout and "non-ambidextrousness" (not a word.). If you're mainly using the bag for travel, this is the best in this price point from what I've seen.

The 4L version is my absolute favorite medium-sized sling for travel. For airline travel - easily holds my passport, headphones, boarding passes, and a power bank. For touring - holds my point and shoot camera, sunglasses, spare batteries, snacks For cycling videos - (I added a cross-body strap to the webbing on the side) - holds my camera drone, spare batteries, wallet, phone. Durable. Looks great in black X-Pac

Surprisingly Impressed – Great Quality and Design for the Price I was skeptical at first, but this sling bag really exceeded my expectations. The material feels high-quality, and the look and feel give off a premium vibe without the premium price. It strikes a great balance in terms of compartments — enough to stay organized without feeling bulky. It also rests comfortably across the chest or back, making it a solid everyday carry. Just pleasantly surprised by how much I ended up liking this.

Well made, not too big, not too small. Great for carrying my GoPro or Osmo Pocket with batteries, cables, chargers and mics. Good zipper external and internal padded pockets. Has an attached lanyard that I use for an Airtag.

I have been using this as an every day carry bag, and it is deceptively large. I can absolutely fit everything I need inside. I can easily fit my Kindle, phone, wallet, pen, knife, charging cables, chapstick, keys, and hand sanitizer with plenty of room to spare. It’s been great giving my pockets a break. I have not been able to test the waterproof aspect, but to my knowledge only the central compartment is waterproof. The other two are only water resistant. It’s comfortable and feels durable. This is the third tomtoc product I’ve bought (I have the tech pouch and laptop cover) and I will DEFINITELY be upgrading my gym/duffel/backpack to tomtoc. It’s an affordable, stylish, and effective brand.
