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

I've never been a bag guy until now. I needed something for my upcoming trip that was affordable, well made and had plenty of room. This bag ticked every one of those boxes. It's also very comfortable to wear thanks to the shoulder padding. I'm a bigger guy and this bag is the perfect size for wearing on the front and back. Though, if you're one with a petite frame, you might not enjoy wearing it on the front. It holds everything I want to carry on me while I'm on my trip (6.9 inch phone, XXL sunglasses with hard case, passport, wallet, keys, medicine bottles, cleaning cloth, tissues, floss picks, single use mouth wash packs) and there's still plenty of room to store more inside the bag! There are pouches and sectioned areas inside the bag for keeping everything in order. The materials used are nice and strong too. I don't see this getting punctured or tearing at all. Overall, I'm completely satisfied with this bag and I'm glad I picked it up. For the price, I consider this a great value for the money.

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.

Review for the bag includes all sizes so since I ordered both the medium and small, I gotta put it into 1 review. Posted photos of the medium and small side by side so you can see the size difference. Small is good for EDC because is nice and compact. But can’t fit much into it. Me being a woman, when I use the EDC I have to use a smaller compact wallet. When I have my iPhone 16 pro max, Apple AirPods, chapstick in the center pocket, my slim card case wallet in the back zipper, car keys and home keys in the front zipper, you can still close it but it’s snug. The back zipper pocket is great spot for your wallet. Not accessible by anyone passing by. Medium bag is great. Material in both bags are great but the smaller one is tougher because it’s a different version. You can get a small that’s exactly identical to the medium. This one is basically just a medium version of the small. It’s still light weight and can fit more like an iPad or your legion go/steam deck without its carrying case. 10-11inch ipad fit it’s perfectly into the sleeve. I can put my electronics in an electronic organizer and put that inside the medium bag and still have a lot of room. The medium also has zipper pockets inside along with mesh pockets so it’s multi functional inside. Not sure how waterproof the bag is but gonna find out Friday when I go on a Tianna’s bayou.

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.

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

Wow, the design and color of this bag really caught my eye. I went browsing for a nice non tactical looking multi purpose sling bag to replace an OZUKO that the zippers were falling off of (otherwise an ok bag). I bought the last summer color. Can't believe it isn't available on the Tomtoc site. I tried to find other bags in that color. However, one large critical piece of my EDC would not quite fit, so I got one of the Tomtoc MacBook sling bags for it. This bag is nice, small and unassuming. I don't feel self conscious walking into a box store with it like I would with a full size backpack. The strap is very solid, noticeably better material than most you see. Very adjustable for a good fit. The sub-pockets are convenient, my Ridge wallet and Bose QC buds fit in the front pocket sub-pockets very well. Nice and light, I add a little weight hanging my keys off the right side molle loop. The material feels strong and water resistant. I noticed my bag doesn't have the Cordura tag like the ones I saw in the product photos and videos. Hmmm. One of the main selling points is the YKK waterproof zippers! Irked me so bad when those OZUKO zipper pulls came off. I know you can replace them, but I'd rather just get another bag when the zippers tear up. The zippers on the Tomtoc are smooth pulling with very good tactile, grippy pull tabs and the zippers are kind of hidden with places to tuck the pulls in. Little well thought out details like this make Tomtoc the company for me not to mention their environmental awareness and measures in manufacturing. Would have liked to have seen a more secure, theft resistant clasp, but I haven't had a bag snatched from me yet. Scan the tags and get a second year of warranty for your t21. Oh, and I wish all the available exterior colors of this bag had the blood red interior like the XPAC version! The light gray interior is one of the reasons I got the last summer color. Drives me nuts trying to look through a black-lined bag
