You’re killing me Clint. Great review. I already have the Tomtoc Explorer, Navigator, and Wanderer, and now they come out with this one. I’m challenging my wife’s purse collection with my slings. Tomtoc is a much better price point than Burberry and Louis Vuitton.
I recently picked up Tomtoc’s UrbanEX B11 for my iPad and I’ve been loving it; it’s my everyday sling even when I don’t have the iPad with me because of how versatile it is. I love that the bag rotates with me, its swivel style buckles are the same as the ones on their Wander T21 bag that I also own. 😁
Hey @bulbous9000, does your iPad fit comfortably? I ended up returning my x-pac wanderer because it couldn't fit my iPad, now I'm wondering if I missed a trick!
I think you’ve made me consider this bag over the CAS2, which I really wanted. I have the original tomtoc sling, and the only downside with this new bag is that it still has the same small pockets in the front. They should have copied Bellroy’s new bags and put a vertical separator to have two decent sized pockets. Which would you recommend personally, Evergoods CAS2 or this bag?
So tough. The Evergoods is a better made bag. This is slightly bigger (the 3.5 liter version). I personally like this one but I think for most people the Evergoods would be much more enjoyable
Fantastic review, truly. Between this one and the Evergoods CAS 2, which one would you say can fit more things, and which one would you prefer for every day use? Thank you!
Thanks for the review. appreciate your work interested to know your thoughts on the smaller one and also how this one compares to the vanquest dendrite Thanks
Fantastic video I wish you would’ve given me the dimensions from left to right top to bottom front to back of the bag, do you have a video of the wonder swing I think I like that bag because it’s bigger and hold more junk thank you for a great video and I like your enthusiasm
Hey Klint. I have the Tomtoc Compact EDC. I’m 6’6” and, while I like the horizontal orientation across my chest, I found it just rode too high, even at full extension. If you were looking for something in the 2-ish liter size that was primarily a fanny pack, but could be worn as a sling, what would you recommend?
Hmmm.... ok bear with me on an unusual suggestion here. I really like this fanny pack and it's soooooo dang cheap and really nice as a crossbody. And if you don't like it you can send it back to Amazon. amzn.to/4bnzMz8
Oh dang, I'm weak for Tomtocs so I clicked on this LIGHTING fast. Shame it's not in more colours or with the removable strap to double as a gadget pouch, that'd make the 1.5L version a winner for my needs. As it is, it's very pretty but too functionally similar to their EDC to replace my Tomtoc X-Pac EDC. Could see it being a decent niche pick for folks who liked the Wanderer but didn't like the swivel straps (but then you're missing out on the Wanderer's lovely padded strap, the detachable strap, and the grab handle). Fav Tomtoc sling: I'd say the EDC for recommending to folks, but for my needs (11" ipad carry+Switch) it's the Explorer-T21 7L sling bag. Love that one, only recently switched it out for a knockoff Bellroy Venture 9L because of the colours and compression/slim profile.
Hi, What do you recommend for EDC? Bellroy Venture Ready 2.5 , Aer Day Sling 3, Tomtoc Aviator/ EDC/Xpac / Alpaka Or any other recommendations? Only 2.5 - 3.5L bags
I don't know your budget or what you typically carry - but in that size - my favorite little slings are: Greenroom136 Sidekeep RDX, dsptch unit sling large, Camelchops Mr Treeger, Packolab samurai, aer day sling max 3, bounce 4dc, Evergoods CAS, tomtoc aviator. In that order right now.
Which do you prefer...Now I already have T21 the old version not XPAC Version about 2 years and looking for a new edc bag...Do you recommend to brought The Aviator-T33 or upgrade my new edc bag to T21 XPAC Version.
The thing that makes them almost always work is the swivel hook setup on the new wander sling, I was hoping it would be featured on all upcoming tomtoc slings, but I guess not.
Uh, I so want external pockets of this sling combined with the rest (big and simple main compartment, size adjusting and magnetic strap) of Bellroy Lite Sling. Plus just attachment points instead of key leash like in Tom Bihns.

that's true - if you're going to collect at least collect affordable things.

I just purchased the TomToc wonder sling and it is amazing. I was shocked that it even fits my 11th inch iPad Pro. 😊

Freakin' awesome video!! Aaaand one of my favourite rebel starships!!!!
Another great video. Would the back pocket fit a larger phone easily? Something like a Samsung Ultra or Iphone max. Phone access is key to me. Thanks!
Yes it holds my iPhone 15 pro max zero issues. Room to spare
@@ThePerfectBag thanks!
Great review, as usual! Tomtoc just rocks! Fantastic bags that keep getting better and at very affordable prices!
Thx for watching - appreciate you!
It looks like it can fit an ipad mini in there huh? I love that they became minimalistic on the branding!

I think the CAS2 would fit a LITTTTTLE more, but I like this one a little better.
Thanks for the review. appreciate your work
interested to know your thoughts on the smaller one and also how this one compares to the vanquest dendrite
Thanks
Thx! Don't have the small one yet but hope to try it

What Kindle are you using? Wondering if a Kobo Libra would fit in the main compartment? Thankss!
Not sure which kindle I have - it’s an old one - a hand me down from my wife.
@@ThePerfectBagit looks squareish than usual. Does it have buttons? It might be the Oasis
Its just another great review with all important things and entertaining! And you carry a B-Wing so damm good 🤣💪🏼 Thanks so much for your vids!! 😎
You never know when you'll need a starship.
It's angled at 10 and 2, not 9 and 3! Nice review. Thinking of getting the 2.5L

Been using the tomtoc SlingBean mostly since I travel light. Going to try to use the Aviator more.
The Aviator is very good!
Help me Klint! I was set on the Alpaka Tech Sling Mini and now I see this. Which should I get for EDC carry?!
This one. Alpaka's feel too tight and unforgiving. They look GREAT, but I prefer this.
@ThePerfectBag Thanks pal, you're the man.

Oh man. I wish they would revamp the explorer series. Better materials, more modern look - but it's SO GOOD.

Ciaol❤ bellissima recensione 😊 volevo chiedere...si puó usare come marsupio?
As a baby carrier? No. Only carry babies in items designed for that purpose
@ThePerfectBag sorry I spoke in Italian. I wanted to ask if it could be used as a fanny pack...
AH! Sorry - my translation program was not good! Yes, this could work as a fanny pack, but better crossbody.
Which do you prefer...Now I already have T21 the old version not XPAC Version about 2 years and looking for a new edc bag...Do you recommend to brought The Aviator-T33 or upgrade my new edc bag to T21 XPAC Version.
Depends what you want to spend. There are a few I like better but this is really great value for money
Think you’ll miss the 3/10 strap configuration? Such a unique feature,
The thing that makes them almost always work is the swivel hook setup on the new wander sling, I was hoping it would be featured on all upcoming tomtoc slings, but I guess not.
Love TomToc. This is just perfect, sits nicely on the body. Clint you are killing my wallet
Sorry! At least this one is fairly cheap!
@@ThePerfectBag This is true....... but you have many many videos, I am deep in the rabbit hole
@@stayinhotspur 😂😂😂

that would be nice!
Is this bag in this video bag the 1.5L 2.5L or 3.5L?
3.5L
Is the sling ambidextrous, or is it designed to be worn on only one side?
Either
@@ThePerfectBag awesome, thanks!
Where did those bracelets come from?
A company called Neptn neptn.us/
Where is the b-wing from?
amzn.to/3YYZ2cB
For a right carry the aviator is a much better design can’t where the other one over right shoulder huge difference
1.5l vs 3.5l ?
Are you asking which I prefer?
@@ThePerfectBag haha yes just saw this, ended up getting the 1.5l for my use wallet, 2 phones, AirPods and charges works great thanks for the video !
Can I use this as a Fanny pac…
Mayyyyybe. It's not really made for that. I'd recommend getting a proper fanny pack instead. Check out the Hip Monkey from Mystery Ranch
@@ThePerfectBag thank you!!
@@ThePerfectBag thanks again for the rec. I ordered the hip monkey… hopefully will fit as I have a 44 waist and it says it goes to 40🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
B-Wing for life
What's up Clint
sup!
You are terrible for my wallet 😂
You don't have to buy them all :) or at least sell one for every new one you buy. That's what I try to do.
@@ThePerfectBag like pokeman…. “Gotta catch ‘em all!!”
Hey that's fun too!
They look too much like a fanny pack
Think so?
