Great review. I managed to pack my Sonya6500 with 18-105 f/4 lens, GoPro Hero 11 with shorty grip, extra batteries for both, small Anker power bank, my wallet, passport, iPhone 14pro, packable down jacket, and charging cables with relative ease
Hey brother... I sat down and crushed almost every video of yours in the past few days... I appreciate your videos and time and effort you put into them. Thank you.
you would think the shoulder strap and how its carried would be more important to these sling/bag makers but most of them ignore the shoulder straps and carry fit. This is perfect!
I can’t decide between this or the Eco 12 L. I definitely need a reusable water bottle and scarf or light raincoat to easily fit. Recommendations please and thank you!
I ride NY Metro on a daily basis and was looking for solid sling bags and ended up here. It seems like a decent bag I’ve been looking for. But I am using the folio keyboard which is slightly thinner than smart keyboard and concerned it still won’t fit in. Gotta give it a try. Thank you!
Great review! I have a vibe 200. (Ipad pro11 with a rugged case fits well) Still works great but its getting old. I’m torn between this and the aer day sling 3 max. I would love some insights.
@@ThePerfectBagits a zugu case 😅 now I’m watching your alpaka sling bag. And that looks great as well. But im leaning towards the aer. Thanks for your insight!
@@ThePerfectBagwill check it out as well. Im not sure yet about the tomtoc. How’s the durability compared to the aer or alpaka? I always read that it is worth it for its price. Since i’m used to pacsafe bag which is absolutely durable in my experience. How does the tomtoc compare? Its pretty tempting for its price and smart space as i’ve watched.
I love me some Pacsafe bags! I really enjoyed this video. A question I always have on these is how heavy is it? It seems like the mesh they use makes them deceptively heavy. My current Pacsafe messenger bag is like 2.6lbs on it’s own.
I would consider buying this bag but I’ve seen reviews on this brand and the metal mesh tends to fray and stick or poke through the nylon and poke you all the time not interested in that at all or having it happen while I’m on vacation. I’m sure they take care of the problem if you send the bag back in but I’m planning a trip to Southeast Asia for 1 to 2 years. I don’t need things failing me while I’m gone. I don’t like the idea of a man purse in a sling bag, at least passes for a sort of backpack instead of a purse. But this brand definitely worries me with that wire mesh inside. The iPad not fitting with the case is definitely a negative for me! Dunn don’t want it!
I'm extremely anal about the safety of my electronics. So when I put either my MacBook or iPad(s) in any sling bag or backpack, the sleeve I use to protect them outside of the bag(s) go with them. I take no chances.
Whoa! You’re lucky you didn’t cut that bag. I know they have the steel mesh lining, but I don’t think the actual fabric is ‘slash proof’ A real thief is going to use something very sharp & silent like a scalpel or razor blade.
Here's another good option to consider from Chrome - ua-cam.com/video/A_U1uGCgiVg/v-deo.html

Oh wow - thanks Jason! I’ll keep cranking them out! I appreciate you watching!

I got the same bag. Good for traveling on public transport and holidays

between those two, I like the eco12L. Are theftproof features a requirement for you?
Very good bag and of course an excellent review.
The too-dedicated iPad sleeve is a bummer.
Right? I can’t do without my keyboard and lots of folks have a 12.9 inch tablet.
I’m bringing this bag with me to Europe for two weeks in August
Oh cool! I think travel like that is what this bag was made for
Great review. What's that multicolor bag on your wall?
Have the more recent versions been constructed with that extra 1 1/2 inches to the tech pocket as you recommended ?
I don't know the answer to that - sorry!

You’re welcome! I think it might fit! Comment back and let us know

The Aer. Unless you absolutely need the theft proof features. Buuuuuuttttt - how thick is that case? Might be an issue in the Aer.
@@ThePerfectBagits a zugu case 😅 now I’m watching your alpaka sling bag. And that looks great as well. But im leaning towards the aer. Thanks for your insight!
@@Sigenapipol honestly don't sleep on the tomtoc navigator - easy to use and cheap!!! amzn.to/4gPmDCZ

Hmmmm. I don’t have the exact weight - but I didn’t notice this one being heavier than other similarly sized crossbody bags I have
You didn’t mention the incredible locks!
Have you tried to use a normal rubber case?
If yes did it fit properly or was there a fitment issues
For the iPad? Nope. I only tried with and without the keyboard
Great review! Do you think this could fit a 14" laptop in the main compartment? I'm reading online that it can fit a 13" in there.
Man that would be pretty tight. I’m about to do a review on another pacsafe sling that might be a better fit
@@ThePerfectBag Looking forward to it!
Is your Surface 13,5 or 15inch? My laptop is 13inch and I am considering this bag to be honest.
13.5
Thx @@ThePerfectBag it will fit I guess :)
Do you think a steamdeck with its case would fit?
Yes I do think so.

I see you have a bag with a Malaysia flag, which is where I come from 😊
I have a few! Welcome to the channel. My favorite bag maker is Greenroom136!
how many inches is the laptop?
That’s a Microsoft surface laptop 4 - 13.5” laptop

Why not just separate the keyboard and put it in the inside not where the ipad slots is.
Certainly an option - but I like the extra protection from the keyboard
@@ThePerfectBag Get an Ipad case
