tomtoc 3.5L Sling Bag with RFID Blocking, Crossbody Bag Chest Shoulder Pack for Men and Women, Water-resistant Lightweight Casual Waist Fanny Pack for Travel/Daily Use

I looked at a lot of packs. I wanted it to be roomy, yet small enough to grab and go (I'm a 6', male). I can easily put wallet, car keys, home keys, ear bud case, mints, hand sanitizer, in the main area with room still. My phone does fit in the outside zip but it's a tight fit. I could put it in the main pocket but it would be a lot. This doesn't bother me because I like having my phone in my pocket. The zippers and pull tabs are smooth and easy to operate. The interior is orange, which I read some people don't like but I think it's cool and makes it super easy for me to find things. All said, a great grab and go pack for essentials and then some!

So I've had this tomtoc aviator 3.5l sling for around 8 months now, and I gotta say they have really listened to what people want in an EDC sling bag. This is one of the best slings on the market. Believe it or not, I don't even mean in this price range. I'm talking at any price. The price is just the cherry on top.I have some photos added, but a couple things I've changed. the first thing I swapped are the zipper pulls. The ones that come with the bag are very thin and probably the only thing I could ding in the bag. But just pick up some 550 Paracord, like I did, and issue fixed. The second thing I changed out was the buckle. Now this isn't really a con. The duraflex buckle that comes with the bag is fine. I'm just very picky about my buckles and can't really stand the sound they make or the feeling of clipping them. So I cut that one off (do this at your own risk and think about everything before committing. This could ruin your entire bag) and added a Maglockz magnetic slider buckle from one of my older Alpaka slings.The quality of this sling is awesome. The strap is nice and smooth (like a seatbelt), the exterior ripstop fabric is amazing is prob my new favorite. Even overtaking X-Pac! It's so comfortable to wear. By far the most comfortable bag I own. It's feels great to interact with as well.The interior of the bag is also amazing to interact with. I'm so happy tomtoc finally made the high viz standard. The mesh on the interior is also some of my favorite in any bag. It's so soft and stretchy. The layout of the pockets works great and I'm always surprised with how much I can fit inside. I can take my carry out of much bigger slings, and very surprisingly, it usually fits with no issue in this sling.The zippers, even though not water sealed, are perfect. They are quality and some of the smoothest you'll get. The extra things that round out this bag and put it over the edge, are the keyleash in the front pocket, the pocket on the back for securing important items, and last but not least, the dangle free strap system that is very simple to adjust.Overall this is one of, if not my favorite sling ever. My favorite thing is how comfortable and form fitting the ripstop exterior fabric is. I honestly would pick the ripstop over the X-Pac in this situation. That's unless you absolutely need the water resistance and extra durability. But X-Pac will be much stiffer and less form fitting compared to this ripstop.(Slings in the attached photos)-Tomtoc Navigator-T24 9l/7l (unknown fabric)- Alpaka 2.6L(slate grey X-Pac) Elements Tech Case-Alpaka 5.5L (black Axo-flux) Go Sling- Kargo Gear 5L(Peacock X-Pac) Loculus Sling- Topo Designs 9L (420D nylon pack cloth) Quick Pack

The tomtoc 3.5L Sling Bag is a fantastic everyday carry option—lightweight, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. I especially appreciated the RFID-blocking pocket and how well it functions as a versatile crossbody or waist pack. The layout and storage capacity strike the perfect balance for my daily needs and travel essentials.Although I returned this particular version, it was only to upgrade to the same model in the X-Pac fabric, which offers enhanced water resistance. If you don’t need the added weatherproofing, this version is a solid choice and performs exactly as advertised.

I use this as my everyday carry purse! I’m HARD on my purses. (Perhaps at 75, I don’t care to fiddle with poor quality anymore?). This forces organization and makes you get rid of all the surplus we ladies have been known to carry. It is lightweight, strong, easy to clean and tidy looking as well! I now own two in the smallest size but would love to try a larger for travel purposes. But for every single day after carrying around, this cannot be beat!!!

Tomtoc makes nice bags!Pros: I appreciated the well organized multiple compartments and storage options for a small bag. The bright color inside makes it easier to find things.Cons: I was trying to use it to carry a compact camera. For this purpose, I was surprised how little padding the bag has, considering it's designed for electronics. I also found the long shape a bit awkward. But if I just wanted a travel bag for small items, I would have kept it.

Typical high level quality materials and workmanship that folks in the know associate with Tomtoc products. Unlike my other Tomtoc sling (a lovely Explorer T-21), this bag has a broader, structured bottom. That means it more easily holds bulky items with no increase in overall size compared to the T-21. It may not be super stylish, but this is a great, very affordable and easy to use EDC bag. Be sure to double the 1 year warranty by registering your product.

I'm extremely happy with the bag.ComfortMost importantly, the strap is very comfortable. It's soft, smooth, pliable, and lies flat, which allows me to load up the weight and even hang a water bottle from it comfortably for extended periods. Other bags I've don't stand up.Organization:The bag is a bit busy, particularly for the size. There are three separate pockets, and the main compartment has two dividers. I feel this is too much and I'd rather cut down on the bulk. You may differ.Materials:It's very high quality - mostly rip stop nylon and YKK zippers. In fact, it may be too high quality. The fabric is thick and heavy duty, and there are at least 10 layers of material from front to back. All this adds to the bulk ever so slightly.All that said, I'm very happy with it. While I'd prefer a more minimalist design and economy of materials, perhaps I'm not meeting Tomtoc on their own terms. The bag does what I need (carrying my phone, wallet, action camera and earbuds on vacation), and I expect it to last. 5 stars.
