I’m an old head who proudly rocked the fanny pack back in the day! Happy to evolve to the sling bag. I got the Tomtoc last summer to take on vacation. It’s a pretty decent bag.
See, I like a company that isn't afraid to actually ask what we want in a product. Instead of just guessing and then coming out with something no one really wants.
Honestly i got my first tomtoc from your recommendation long ago and fell in love with their stuff not only that but their customer service is on point. I got A54 7l sling and a 40l travel backpack now im thinking its time to add xpac smaller sling to the rotation.
Thanks to guys like you I carry so much crap now, I had to go a sling bag. Now it’s a Roaring Fire bag, which I like, but it’s a little to “tactical”. This looks good.
You are correct,, I bought my first sling “Tomtoc” about 2 years ago, loved it ,, but kinda too small for my needs. I like to carry I guess more than other. I purchased the Bellroy 9 L and it’s PERFECT in every way . I may net carry it every day , but it goes with me everywhere I go . But when I do carry it , it’s not uncomfortable at all. Lot of guys asked where I got it . I guess if Tomtoc made a 9 L I’d probably grab it up . Great video 👍
My first sling was a viktos upscale 2.0 and loved it. Got a vertx commuter to be able to have the smallest bag possible to fit an 8" blk ARP. Slings rock
YO! I saw the old tomtoc vid that convinced me to order one. But I got this version instead. Happy to get confirmation on my choice! Good video, again!
I own a first responder bag and a smaller version. The 1st responder bag has all my daily edc equipment, the smaller edc sling has the same equipment minus a few items
I stumbled upon your channel today with your series of deinfluincing. I stayed for the quality content and insight. The reason I'm getting into this world is because I build things and I'm often out in the field with bulky tool boxes or simply not having what I need. As helpful as a lot of channels have been, I dont get the impression most of the people actually use or need the things they are promoting. Seems like people are more into the bling and show than actually fixing shit out in the field... not trying to hate, just an observation and why I relate much more to your aproach.
That is exactly right 99% of youtubers promote gear they’re sponsored by and yes they get free gear for each video they do . There are no youtubers left that do film just to film they ask for subs and likes to make money and they make alot of money Example its 2k for 50k subscribers not counting ads rev
Combine the Tomtoc sling bag with a crossbreed A.R.M.S. Holster and small pack mat system, it’s the perfect discrete way to carry my Springfield hellcat
I made my first and final purchase in one shot with the Code of Bell Xpod sling. It has done everything I've needed it to and more. Couldn't dream of going to anything else.
Have you looked at the Large Dendrite from Vanquest? It's not customizable, not water resistant like xpac, and I don't think it's quite as large as the Tomtoc you featured. It does however have a lining that velcro will stick to, the strap is at the ends, and it's removable.
Now you just need multiple iterations of pocket knives, microfibre towels, usb-c chargers, cables etc. that you can put in all those bags so you can just grab one and go.
I don't think I'll never not have a sling bag now. Super low key and nothing is weighing my pants down. I've been running the nutsac sling since its came out.
I keep edc, snacks, urban water key, coms HT and G93 in my sling. Always ready to get home. I pack 2 crayons incase i run into you on the streets, but my son keeps taking them to color with! Lol
With my last child, I did find myself with a sling full of wipes and diapers, and any other thing that I can carry that was necessary for short trips. Now I’m looking for a sling that can hold my keys, pistol, wallet, etc..
i want to get one, but since im a big guy, strap length is always an issue. could you tell me what's the maximum strap length on these? both stretched out and normal?
But how are you so good at making me want yet another sling... lol, i got my snack time sling, but at less than half the price of that, i think I'll scoop this for shiggles.
yeah I just want to be able to dump out daily carry stuff and throw small first aid/hygiene kit with a diaper to take a walk to the park with my toddler with some room to spare
Nobody ever mentions how great these are for holding burritos. I always like to have a burrito on hand.....and hot sauce.

I bought and register several Tomtoc bags. A year ago they reached out to me for suggestions, I send many. It is nice to see many were included.

Super thoughtful review. Nice to see they made a couple changes you mentioned in the 5.5L-so I grabbed that one in this same xpac color
Bro from across the pond 🇬🇧 been trying to geta propper break down of why I would want a sling bag and my man I really like your content. Big up
this is definitely a therapy session
Thx for the video. Hopefully tomtoc will someday give the option to customize the 7l navigator.

Informative. Sticking with alpaca for now.

What's the watch strap you're rocking in this video? Love how low profile it looks
I personally use Carhart Crossbody bag it’s $30 water resistant decent amount of organization

I used a tomtoc for when i travel. Im not a sling bags but i must say, it was very useful
Chrome Kadet sling bag is great option- especially if you travel a lot -
I use sling bags, or a fanny pack for fishing! Great for some fishing gear instead of a big tackle box for just a little day trip.

I love the orange interior lol
I don't own one, but Their customization choices make it more tempting to me.
There is no way I can justify another sling bag to the wife, but that new tomtoc is lookin’ noice
I got a Vanquest Dendrite Small, works perfect for my purposes.
Bro Alpaka Sling Solved your 2 issues with the tomtoc sling .
I concur
We need an EDC Style guide... Does Mrs. X ever weigh in on certain slings or the way you wear them?
I like the bag. I went to their website and could not find out how I customize the bag
Love slings and crossbody bags..I have a lot lol great vid bro..Thank you !
I’m laughing at your intro…. Sadly, I relate completely… well done. Stumbled upon your channel… very much enjoy… subscribed & liked… cheers
Well done. Subscribed.
I have two Tomtoc bags now. Good stuff and priced right.

what about sling vs chest rig? ( like a hill people gear)
I do too. I want to try a kavu sling next
That is nothing but a fancy lumbar/fanny pack!
And I still wear mine like a fanny pack 😂
Appreciate the content and commentary. Snagged an X-PAC while here; good stuff. -NΔ
This is such an amazing sling. I just wish it was left-hand user friendly!
Now you just need multiple iterations of pocket knives, microfibre towels, usb-c chargers, cables etc. that you can put in all those bags so you can just grab one and go.
love my tom toc
if you want the loop option for hook and loop there is no better option than the vanquest sling bag, that thing has so many options i love it
Hi, could you tell me the main colour on your x-pac sling please. Many thanks.
Thank you X! I still gotta get one!
Have you ever checked out the JS Tactical sling bags?
I don't think I'll never not have a sling bag now. Super low key and nothing is weighing my pants down. I've been running the nutsac sling since its came out.
Seems like a high quality hygen bag with a tactical purse strap

I’ll check it out and measure
It may be on their website
But how are you so good at making me want yet another sling... lol, i got my snack time sling, but at less than half the price of that, i think I'll scoop this for shiggles.
Bro where did you get that jacket?
Gruntstyle
@@MarineX nice! I’ll check it out.
Wish there were decent options for sling concealed carry. The few bags that are available are trash.
I linked my favorite from vertx
Bro it's a Man purse 👜. Sorry am sticking to my backpack 🎒. Great video.
My main complaint about ALL tomtoc bags- slippery straps. They simply won’t stay put. Until they address this, tomtoc can take a hike.
After seeing the whole review, pass. Not for $100 with all its flaws, maybe $40??
The stock version xpac is around 40$ I got one yesterday, Amazon has them on sale.
They suck anyway.
Best sling on planet for the gun runner is the Frunk pack by Lapg $19 -$29 you cannot find a better pack period for its innovations or price .
@@jeffdur1330why it sucks?
Anybody know is the webbing strap is 1.5 or 1 inch wide.
1.5 inch strap
Thank you. Just bought one after watching your video about 15 times@@MarineX
Well we used to call the sling bag for infants a 'diaper bag'. lol
The bumbag
Sling bag true guys don't do the up and over motion you in clip over and clip.
yeah I just want to be able to dump out daily carry stuff and throw small first aid/hygiene kit with a diaper to take a walk to the park with my toddler with some room to spare
Cute purse bro. 😝
Dude, this is called a purse!
The background music is distracting. Please ditch it, after the intro.
It goes away about a minute in. Cool out
Hey bro, love your channel great content thnx! Are you formular with CODE OF BELL XPOD? its a great sling bag as well.
🫡
Thanks but no thanks.
Aside from pretty much all of them bein out of my price range...
I have other more preferred ways to carry my gear.
nah no to hook and loop, don't make it tactical.
No way would I sport this bag.
Maxpedition
It's a purse. Dont @ me 🤣🤣
to much talking
I love me some talking
A man purse! No thanks!
Looks nice. Does the material feel thinker then basic ones?
