Hey everyone, Ahmad the video guy here! You may notice the audio sounding a little different in this video, the files got corrupted but we were able to save most of it. Enjoy the review!
Well that's an editor's nightmare😅....nice restoration job.😊👍🏼
@@TischTosh Indeed it is...😅Thank you!
I thought my computer audio was busted which is a vote of confidence in the usual quality!
@@itsPenguinBoy haha, that is good to hear!
As a post-production audio person…. Great job!!!
Ive been using this for year and honestly the best feature is the lack of pockets, it provides a ton of room and nearly all of it is the main compartment.
Thanks for putting the height in the intro in centimeters!
🤙🤙🤙
ihave to say, i love that you showed us how to pack! the best part of bag reviews for me and many i ask is seeing whats packed inside and what cubes/how much fits (it helps us imagine how we'd do it and more likely to buy) seeing the packing is even better then packing haha
Thanks for watching! 😃
That thin strap was made mostly to pull the bag out of an overhead bin. The thicker top strap was for carrying. But if you wanted to carry it by that side strap you could get a piece of pool noodle or pipe insulation cut to the size of that handle wrap it around there and it would provide incredible padding about a dollar
Thanks for sharing your insights!
I just got this bag yesterday and I can't wait to use it for my 5 day trip to Nevada in October!! I love the construction, pockets/storage and materials upon first look
Enjoy your trip!
I have the same bag, I got it 6 months ago and I enjoy using and it was a good price. I have never had any issues. The longest trip I have taken with it was 7 days and there was never any issues.
Thanks for sharing your insights! 🤙

Kindly tell from where to buy, any online seller details pl

I have this bag and I really apprecciate it. My top reasons why I bought this is, that it has a lot of space while staying compact in size which is great for flying. Also I love the materials. And what was also very important for me was the weight of the backpack itself. There is almost no competition to this bag as far as I know (maybe I just didnt find any), because most of the backpacks that I liked apart from this, where too heavy, thus I'd loose weight capacity and I would only be able to pack less for flying.
Small disadvantages: If you like a little organisation, it is not for you, so for example if you like to have dedicated pockets or places for a pen, keys and so on. It is more like a throw it all in backpack, great for packing cubes and a little tech gear. But for some this might be also an advantage.
Also inside is very dark, so finding something often is not easy. I would really like to see a version with light fabric inside.
But for the price it is definitely a recommendation.
A ver thorough, informative, and generally good review. Thank you.
Thanks for watching! 😃
Great video, thank you. Are you able to share the details on the packing cubes you used?
Have it. Love it.
Literally asked you guys if you were planning on reviewing this bag last week and what do you know? Totally going to get this for short trips!
You will be happy with it. :) I got it as well. Great for short trips. Nice for car any airplane. I used it for my weekend trip to Paris and also my 1 month vacation to vietnam as carry on.
I have this same bag. Worked great for a week trip packing for both me and an infant!!
Thanks for sharing your insights! 🤙

I travel several times a month so it has gotten some use but so far no issues. Since it doesn't have the level of rigidity of other more expensive bags I found I could cram in under the seat in front of me while on a plane .
Thanks for sharing your insights! 🤙
-Eric
how "empty" did it need to be to be able to be squished under the seat in front of you? The airlines seem to recommend ~40cm as the upper limit, which this is I think 52cm?
If not fully packed could you use this bag as your standard airplane backpack while still having a standard rolling carry on? Is the only requirement that it fits under the seat in front of you?
I notice the main shoulder straps are connected directly to the "quick access" opening. This is unique, as the shoulder straps aren't directly "anchored" to the pack itself, but on this large zippered opening. Does this create a weak point in design? As now when the pack is fully loaded, that zippered quick access is taking the load of the pack,and could act as a weak point? Thoughts?
I have this bag and confused about the zips that can lock but the others that cant but still give you access to the locked compartment? I returned it as I wanted something smaller I could use as a day pack too, was a bit too big for that
Does it stand up when you set it down? Or does it tip over? I’m wondering because of its unique trapezoidal shape. For onebag travel I set the bag down a lot and don’t want it to be constantly flopping over.
Do you have a recommendation for a similar bag like this but aesthetically looking
Would this be too big of a bag to use as a personal item with a separate carry on?
Great video 📹 👍
The superlite background music keeps me thinking that the ice cream man is rounding the corner- keep removing my headphones... *A.
They're generous with their measurements. This isn't a 40L bag, more like 35-ish. I also wish the straps were stowable. Otherwise this seems great for the price, and actually great overall.
The tomtoc is probably between 34-38L, which is standard shrinkage compared to advertised capacity with other backpack makers.
whats the diff between a81 and a82
I don't know if this is a good question for a travel backpack, but would this backpack be okay for everyday use? I'm in postgraduate degree and always carry a pencil case, a plastic pouch, a sketchbook (art studies) and a laptop with its hefty charger, I suppose if I tightened the straps it would be much less bulky and meet these needs. My main concern would be its durability, given its daily use and Laptop protecrion, while also having a backpack for long travels like an all in one backpack.
Yes. I teach at a university and use this bag daily. Has held up well. It does look slightly busy though with all the straps. An excellent bag for work and travel for its price.
Nice review! Be careful with back mesh when you sliding into overhead cabinet, when it comes to a little hole or scratch they will all come undone very soon.
Good point, not something that happens on an osprey bag.. but for the price, I bought one and like the simplicity of it
Anyone was traveling with this backpack in RyanAir and WizzAir? Is the 40l version not to big?
Hey, for me this is very important to know, can you reach the both Laptopsleeves without opening the full back-side?
Becaus I often work in trains an need a big backpack, i just would not annoy everyone by taking huge space just to get to my laptop
Sorry for bad english
Yes, you can access it at the top, you would just need to unzip it and get the laptop out or tablet.
Do you think there's any chance of fitting two 14" laptops into the laptop section? They're both "Ultrabooks", so not quite MacBook Air thin, but definitely not big hefty laptops
Update: I ended up buying the bag, it easily fits two 14" laptops :)
Thank you for the quick insights! We appreciate it 😃
@@PackHacker2 I noticed the main shoulder straps are not connected to the load bearing structure of the pack, but to the quick access panel, then to the pack via the quick access zipper. This looks like once loaded the entire packs weight would be carried by that quick access zipper, that essentially attaches the straps to the substantial part of the pack. Do you know what I mean? Do you think this is would cause any issues?
There's a 28L version you need to show
Does this fit under the seat of an airplane?
My question also!
Is it anti theft?
Is this the same as tomtoc’s A66 model? The A82 no longer seems to be available and it looks at first glance to be very similar, if not the same.
I would also like to know this
(based on the photos it looks like it might be the exact same thing, but I'm not 100% sure)
It is
Hi team, not sure where to request it but I'd love to see your review of the Decathlon Forclaz 500 EXTEND 40L - 60L backpack/duffle. I can't find much info about it but looks interesting
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll pass it along.
-Eric
No waist belt on that size bag? Strange
I just got done using it for a 7 day trip. This is more like a 32-35L despite what it’s listed at
@@KevSosa09 The tomtoc is probably between 34-38L, which is standard shrinkage compared to advertised capacity with other backpack makers. Though it would be cool to know the real main compartment capacity, I doubt it would go down as low as 32L.
I’ve got this bag for few months now. Overall it’s a great minimalist bag but I don’t think this is a 40l bag. My Osprey 40l farpoint packs a lot more. For the price you pay £55 is a great travel bag.
The Ostrey 40L is actually higher capacity than advertised, that's why this backpack might seem small in comparison. Though in reality the tomtoc is probably between 34-38L, which is standard shrinkage compared to advertised capacity with other backpack makers.
@@W1ndF4lc0n thanks for the info but at the end of the day when a product is advertised as a 40l backpack I expect the backpack to be 40l not 34.
@@danielpeti3885 Of course, but unfortunately virtually 98% of manufacturers inflate the capacity number. The Osprey pack is one of the very few exceptions where it's the other way around. The tomtoc won't be significantly different in terms of capacity to other 35-40L advertised backpacks (based on comparing dimensions and calculated mathematical volume).
Shame it looks so wrinkly... :(
