@@EDG I have the 9L EDC which is awesome. But….i upgraded from 13” MacBook to 15” and it doesn’t fit the sling so hoping they creat a slightly larger one to accommodate. Have used it as a personal item for 4 day trips too. For the 40-50 price point, so amazing.
I picked mine up on sale for $58. Very well built and unbeatable value. I especially love the dual water bottle holders, one for my bottle, the other for my umbrella. I use it as my EDC to go to coworking spaces with my laptop with accessories and on the way back home, pack a basket full of groceries or shopping in it.

And all the important papers in my life to not be lost. This thing packed it all in comfort, was easy to carry, and not a problem boarding with it. All around a great bag and a steal at this price. Going to get a rain cover to round it out for general around town pedestrian bag. Thanks for the video, it covered it well and allowed me to make a good decision to purchase it!
Hello. You mentioned two laptops. I myself am looking for a dual laptop travel backpack. How and where were you able to fit two of them. Both my laptops are 15 inches. What size are yours? Any feedback is appreciated. TIA
I got this bag before Christmas and went away with it for a few weeks. It wasn't my only bag (I checked a suitcase), but it was carryon for flights and getting on and off a cruise. And considering I started the trip with everything I needed plus Christmas presents, it was pretty heavy (>9kg) at one point. I found it really comfortable and found the storage pockets just about perfect. I didn't want a bag with excessive pocket organisation. This had just enough easily accessible space for things like wallet, passport, Kindle, etc. Really happy with the purchase, as someone who will likely need it for just a few trips a year, either as a weekender by itself or an additional bag for longer bags where I'll check my suitcase.
Yea! Thanks for commenting. I think the straps are worth mentioning here for sure, as they are comfy and high quality like you’ve said. I’ve used a lot of worse straps on more expensive bags. Glad you had a great experience and thanks for commenting.
@@EDG yeah the straps make a huge difference. And the padding on the back. I found it just as comfy at the heaviest as when it was half as heavy on the way home.
I had this for a brief moment but ended up returning it. It was no fault of the bag as I found it great, especially considering the price (it punches way above its price tag). I ended up deciding to get the new(ish) Tortuga travel backpack at 40L. I completely agree with you about the volume on this thing. I wasn't able to pack any more than I am able to in my older Tortuga Setout 35L backpack. With that said, I am shocked that this back is so inexpensive. Props to Tomtoc for all the great stuff they have been putting out recently. This bag really is great and it's a very comfortable carry (just wish it had load lifters). I think it easily sits in there with many of the $200-$300 travel bags.
Thanks for the comment, these are my favorite ones to read. I think thats totally reasonable! You've graduated past the need for a beginner bag haha. And the Tortuga is a killer! I used to have the larger setout in 2019and wish I kept it. My main travel bag is the new Osprey Farpoint 40...I also needed something larger and more comfortable. But yea, I still kept this tomtoc for the wife ,and actually bought a few to give to friends....I got them when it was on holiday sale for like $60 which was highway robbery haha. How do you like the new Tortuga?
@@EDG I haven't actually got the Tortuga bag just yet. I'm planning on ordering it before my next international trip in the fall which will be around 2 1/2 months in duration.
Very confused about this comment, how can a $350 bag be comparable to this $80? Also, why is that Tortuga one so expensive (I think this is more of the issue in general is the extreme markup on so many products on the market these days.)
@@SD-ft6gsto me, it’s comparable in terms of function. In general for my videos , I try not to get hung up on specs, but rather ask the question …does it make a difference for the user. Like a tortuga for example, of course it has higher quality materials, but does it make the bag significantly lighter or magically carry more stuff? Probably No. And lifetime warranty’s will always play a factor in price. But budget bags are always fun because for many ppl, even the thought of spending over $100 for a bag is insane! With any product, there’s diminishing returns as price goes up, so I like to make ppl aware of that!
I have this bag I like it. Great for the 2 to 5 day trips. What I like about it is the big open cavern of space, to use packing cubes or pouched to organize my stuff. Straps are great, On mine the water bottle pocket didn't fit my hydrofask so they must have fixed that.
I have this bag and used it for a trip to Japan. Held up great! I will say I still took a small carry-on luggage as well, but this bag I used as my EDC once I was traveling within Japan itself. Not too big, not too small.
Thanks for a short and straightforward review. You covered the important points, especially the duffle access. Next time please mention whether the back is ventilated
That’s a surprisingly good carry on bag/ backpack, here in Europe Airlines are more strict on the size of carry on bags, always looking for more ways to extract more cash from travelers, must get me one of those, thanks for sharing 👍😃
I think it is more accurately to compare it with Aer's large Travel Pack, since that is also around 35 liters in capacity. Tomtoc is even more cost saving when compared that way.
Thanks for the compliment! I did remove the logo. I just used pliers cuz they’re kind of just glued on. Came off easy, with a little residue left behind.
Thanks for the detailed explanation. From the picture and video this bag is using normal YKK zipper without seals (minimise water sipping through) and the zipper teeth facing out? Thanks!
Yea for real! I know I put the title as “under $100”, because a lot of people search that term….but bit retailed for $80…and I actually got it during the time it was $60 which is nuts
That’s my only travel bag for last year. Thailand, Cambodia, Spain, Germany, Poland, Italy and more. For hot or warm climate the volume is enough for all my basic stuff.
@@EDG I had a bit of feeling I missed out on an Ebags deal (everything went to $50 around New Year's). But I like it, I got it for a bigger laptop I'm getting. It's lightweight and sturdy. It also doesn't have any microfiber/flocking that will end up on your stuff. They give you as much of the volume as they can rather than a bunch of organizers.
This is exactly what I need to replace my 20 year old Brenthaven! More flexible. Incidentally the Brenthaven is perfectly OK. As good as the day I bought it, just slightly dirtier.
Yea, that’s a good comparison! Functionally they are pretty similar, this is kind of the budget version with no lifetime warranty, but at less than half the cost. Sadly no, there isn’t a larger version yet. But would be cooool if they made one
I have found with bags like this...the loint of failure is always the plastic clips and the stitching around them. If you need an affordable bag then this might be ok, but if you are lugging around a camera and equipment...I would look for something more secure with more padding.
yep, thats true. For anyone carrying camera equipment, I wouldn't recommend this pack. It's too light weight and not enough padding. People should get a camera bag for cameras.
Hi, since you also posted the video of The North Face Voyager Travel pack 35L (vs its 26L version), which one would you choose between the TNF 35L and this TomToc 40L?
TNF is the better bag, but smaller and costs basically $100 more(when the tomtoc is on sale). So if the price isn’t an issue, TNF is the pick. What would you be using it for?
You this is perfect for my use case. I need a gym bag that I can bring to work. I was about to drop 200 on the Patagonia bag. Thank you so much for this review I would have never found out about this bag lol.
Truly love getting comments like these. Bags are expensive man, and it’s important to save money if possible, and upgrade only if it’s necessary. I think you’ll enjoy it, and if you can wait, it always goes on sale.
Do you know if Canadian airlines will accept this as a personal item? The size is a bit over their limit which is 16x13x6 inches but considering how compressible it is, I'm assuming yes it will fit under the seat?
Yea. I used this and changed it to the Thule. The main problem being that once it's packed, the zippers get bent, meaning they are impossible to open and close easily. They get creases in them. Plus it is very uncomfortable to wear as a backpack.
Hi, will this work as carry-on luggage for the flight? Usually there is a place on the airport to fit a luggage to check if it fits the required size. Do you have experience flying with this backpack?
I've been thinking about getting this bag, but the lack of a hip belt is concerning? Do you think carrying this around fully loaded for a few hours a day would be too straining without a hip belt?
hey, how tall are you? it really functions more like a 35L bag and the straps are comfy. plus there is a chest strap to help carry. And would you be hiking with it? Depends on the use, for a few hours a day.
I didn't see a pocket on the back. Most backpacks have a zippered pocket that goes against your back when worn and it is to keep items secure (I.E., the pocket can not be easily accessed by thieves). To me, any good travel bag should have that.
Nope, no pocket. I agree, it’s a nice to have, but putting a passport anywhere inside the pack is equally as safe. As long as it’s not on the outside of the bag, accessible to pickpockets.
@@EDG I have the sling bag and 2 tech pouches. the origami style one and the flat kinda bigger one. I've got them under £30 each and its great. no point paying £60-80 for peak design etc
I haven’t heard about it, but just checked it out and it looks great! I’ll probably end up reviewing it. Though it’s not cheaper, it’s listed at $99 their site compared to this Tomtoc at $75
@@DIYTinkererah nice. Then that is a great deal. I’ll see if I can fit a review into my schedule. People seem to like reviews of the budget bags. Makes sense
And yet people really love the MATEIN Travel Laptop Backpack from Amazon. It has a 4.7/5 rating from over 94K reviews! And it's only $22. I prefer the YOREPEK Travel Backpack, Extra Large 50L. It's rugged, water resistant, has a USB port and is quite comfortable to carry through the airports. It has a 4.7 rating from over 44K reviews. I've used it on both oversea trips and local excursions; properly packed, it's good for 10 days. I did add a cross strap to it for my comfort, but others might not need it. And, it's only $28!
This backpack would maybe last 1 year on my back before it self destructed. Those straps are not reinforced at all for one. Zipper looks cheap. This is in no way an every day carry. Maybe for a high scool kid who will find a way to destroy anything anyway.
It’s possible, but any bag has the potential to fail depending on how tough you are with the bags. But I will say that even the cheap jansport backpacks back in high school lasted multiple years.
Why would you even use a 40L bag for everyday carry? WTF are you carrying everyday? It's not really marketed as an everyday bag or as an advanced bag. Hence the reason it only costs $ 75. Go spend $ 400 and get your AER, Tortuga or Tom Binh and get a bag that will withstand your manly adventures!

I've used it on both oversea trips and local excursions; properly packed, it's good for 10 days. I did add a cross strap to it for my comfort, but others might not need it. And, it's only $28!
save dat money!
This backpack would maybe last 1 year on my back before it self destructed. Those straps are not reinforced at all for one. Zipper looks cheap. This is in no way an every day carry. Maybe for a high scool kid who will find a way to destroy anything anyway.
It’s possible, but any bag has the potential to fail depending on how tough you are with the bags. But I will say that even the cheap jansport backpacks back in high school lasted multiple years.
Why would you even use a 40L bag for everyday carry? WTF are you carrying everyday? It's not really marketed as an everyday bag or as an advanced bag. Hence the reason it only costs $ 75. Go spend $ 400 and get your AER, Tortuga or Tom Binh and get a bag that will withstand your manly adventures!
@@richjarcy3930 preach!
Put 7kg in it, walk it SE town for 3-4 hours, chuck it in bin, buy something practical with better design
lol, ok man. Do you. Sounds like instead of returning, I wasted your money.
You can keep your dirty talk and stuff those profane words down your throat. People do not appreciate your use of the f word. Other than that thank you for the review.
Considering that I censored the word, and this is my most viewed video on my page, I think people are just fine with the content and language. So you can stuff your feedback down your throat if you’d like. Other than that, thank you for the comment.
it was even cheaper on taobao (until their took it off shelf)
yea, I got it during the holidays when it was on the tomtoc site for like $60
