Thanks for sharing, Marian! Are there any situations that the sling doesn’t work well for you? 🧐 -Eric

@@PackHacker2 Thanks for asking; only really when I have to carry significant amounts of heavy items; while it does fit both a switch AND a small kindle if need be, if I'm carrying that much heavy stuff for any distance I'm going to chose a different sling or day pack, because that much weight tends to make the bag sag a little and not sit quite as well on my back, but otherwise I'm very happy with it. I've also been fiddling with whether it works better for flying, or an Osprey Day Sling is better. Whatever sling bag I use, I put in my backpack while getting on the plane, so I only have a back pack and carry on when getting on the plane, and then I pull the sling out when I get on the plane so I have everything I need on the plane within easy reach. I'm still going back and forth on this because the tomtoc is bulkier and takes up more space in my backpack, but then again it's my preferred sling to carry at most destinations, but the Osprey holds more and is still a great day sling, so....I feel like I'm still alternating; right now it's tomtoc when I'm travelling to more urban areas where I know I'm going to want to have the sling on my front at times for more security, and Osprey when my destination is more beachy and I'm going to need a bigger sling for more beach supplies.

Wow, thanks for sharing those insights, Marian! I can see how the tomtoc would clog up your pack but would work better in an urban environment. It sounds like you have a good system going so far 😃 -Eric

I am curious--does this Tomtoc 8" one (rated at 4.5L) actually more in volume than the Aer Day Sling 3, which is rated at 3L?

which Aer sling are you using?

@@PackHacker2It keeps slipping to its default position.

Good info. Not everyone has a slim profile.

I've been looking for one exactly for the steam deck. A slim thin sling bag for just the steam deck. Nothing else, have you found one yet?

@@munguiajr9901 Tomtoc makes a slim case ("FancyCase-A05") that's perfect for me - it's slim enough that the Steam Deck actually fits in my usual handbag. The launched it a couple of months ago, but I'd completely missed it! It's exactly what I wanted, it's the Steam Deck version of their slim Nintendo Switch cases basically.

I managed to fit my deck in this. It was a bit of a squeeze but it does go in.

What’s your favorite feature? 😃 -Eric

@@PackHacker2 size, quality, design

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll pass it along 😃 -Eric

@@PackHacker2 Thanks in advance!!

Yes, it does.

Can it fit ipad mini 6 alongside with nintendo switch ?

It won’t fit in the hidden pocket, but it will in the main compartment. -Eric

What do you like about it, Justin? 🧐 -Eric

This is the 4.5 liter version! -Eric

@@PackHacker2 thank you

I have the exactly the same question

Thanks for watching and sharing your insights 😃 We’ll see you in the next one! -Eric

You probably could-but this pack is designed to be worn cross-body! -Eric

You can cut the buckle off in a certain way that makes it re-attachable and move it to one of the side loops. Makes it way more comfortable to wear and sits like a normal sling as well as a hip pack but is a little big for that I find. I’ll do a write up on the mod and post it to Reddit r/manybaggers

Under your clothes? Sure, that's not going to look suspicious at all.

Thanks for sharing your insights! 🤙

Yeah, but it's way cheaper. 🙂

I have the day sling 2 and had I known about this probably would have gotten this... Very similar and much easier on the pocket book

Yes

I wouldn’t call it a copy, I would just call it another sling that has a similar design. There are a lot of slings that look similar in function similarly, they might not have as many of the similar features. At the price point, it’s a great value and much better than spending almost twice as much on the Aer

@@JoeLopez 100%

Looks VERY similar

Nope. This brand has been around a minute
