2/1/24 None of your codes work including the one above
Maybe because you waited so long
The spilt screen was next level reviewing
Hell yeah it was!
Dope!

Truly smart
Really appreciate the simulated EpiPen. That’s always my primary “will this fit?” question, and it’s very considerate of you to include it.
First-time viewer and instant subscriber. I devour both travel and product comparison videos and this is the BEST ever. Factual and to the point and I love the way you compare a specific feature in various bags instead of going thru all the features of each bag separately. Makes the comparison so much easier. Can’t wait to binge the rest of your library.
same
Yeah this guy is really great.
Love this sling breakdown Maurice! Very methodical as always, and I enjoyed the feature-by-feature comparison rather than going through the entirety of one sling before moving onto the next. Looking forward to the next!
This video editing and all the choices you made to clearly consider your different viewers is amazing. Loved the side by side reel of all three bags so you can visually compare! Amazing, wow.
Agreed, the split screens is something I still rarely see in product comparision videos but I hope that will change over time.
facts
This is the most perfect and thorough comparison of sling bags ever! So much good information and many disclaimers. I hate when product videos lack basic qualities like price info, practicality info, and PASSION.
Dude, you have influenced me more than any other influencer. I just discovered you yesterday and I just bought a tomtoc sling bag. My next purchase will be a pakt traveling backpack. Your organized approach to packing gives me life. Thank you.
2 months later, how do you like the tomtoc?
@@okashi10 husband used it for the first time last week. Loved it. I will use it for my upcoming trip to🇳🇵! Thank you!!!!!
You are an excellent product reviewer. I’ve been trying to decide between a number of different sling bags and your review clinched it for me. Thanks for your efforts!
I’m just randomly watching bags review videos on CZcams and came across this channel. I love how clear the explanations and how he explains what does it mean by “the best” in his opinion. I love there is a lower to higher price point options. I’ve watched some other videos were just mumbling the entire time and kept calling some bags “entry level” and I have no bloody clue what did they meant. Keep up with your good work!
Very efficient, relevant and to-the-point information. Maurice nails it, everytime.
Maurice, Just love the way you compared and explaned the differences between each bag.
🙂 Quick and efficient!
This is the best product review I've seen. I really like the side-by-side comparison and simple explanations. You use good lighting and camera angles. Bravo!
Thanks to your quality videos--I chose the tomtoc. I took with me to travel and it was the best thing I have. It continues to carry all my necessary items every day. That key lanyard is incredibly useful.
Keep on making em videos!
This video is fantastic if only from the standpoint that you have shown how the bags look on a person and from different angles. Even the manufacturers don't do this in their promo ads and product descriptions. The rest of the video is of good quality and has useful educational value. Well worth the view. Thank you.
Thank you so much Maurice for the fair and balanced reviews of the three EDC Sling options. I went with the Tom Toc that was $36 after the coupon, I also went with the 7.5 L 11 inch version which came to $56 after the discount coupon. I now own well constructed bags with different capacities for the price of one. I’ve been wanting to purchase an EDC sling for over a year but could not make up my mind looking at the various models. Your review made it very clear while offering an extremely affordable option with the Tom Toc. Keep up the great content. PS I Also order the carabiner ✌🏼
Always nice to get your ideas for both organization and what is critical when you are out and about.
I got the TomToc for our trip to Mexico after watching this video and it is by far my favorite sling now!
Honestly the best EDC reviewer on CZcams right now 🙌
I'm not even thinking about buying a new travel bag or wear a sling but the finesse of these review videos are so impressive. Thank you for such a detailed, well thought out review. I think I have some shopping to do, as my mum will enjoy a nice bag for her trip 😅
Such clean and well put together videos. Love it man keep up the good work. Thanks for the assistance in choosing a sling
As a Traveler’s Notebook lover I appreciated seeing this in the mock setup 😀 “Will it fit my notebook?” Is always my number one concern. Thank you for sharing.
Very helpful - searching for just the right bag for a daypack for travel. Want one that I could carry a few art supplies, sketchbook, watercolors & brushes….looks like the AER might work well for me. Thank you so much - I love the split screen comparisons and concise reviewing!
first time viewer here and i'm instantly subscribed. I like the no bs approach and very informative format of your vids. As a newbie traveler there's so many options out there for carry ons and slings and I stumbled upon your video and it tremendously helped narrow down my options. You know exactly what a traveler needs and I'm here for more of these content. The split screen is a genius idea to save time watching and it's also very informative since you see the comparison in real time.
I can see how much thought and effort was put into this video. I really love your videos. I always get all the answers I am looking for when I search for a particular video of yours. Thanks for the effort. We see it, keep it up, mate.
Great video Maurice. It was a very sophisticated and detailed comparison. All of the links in the description are super helpful.
Great review! To add onto the split screen portion: I’ve had this Alpaca bag for a year now and I’ve taken it on two international trips. I’ve been able to fit: my passport, cash, coins, my wallet, my iPhone 14 pro max, my kindle, sunglasses, chapstick, hand sanitizer, an umbrella, a portable fan, and sunscreen. It was pretty full at this size, but still had room for little things like receipts, random trash, or tissues.
Thanks for the detailed review Maurice. Loved the side by side comparison of each bag. I was able to narrow my decision and plan on purchasing the TomToc sling. It'll be a nice upgrade from my Lululemon Everyday Belt Bag.
YOU, are amazing. Thank you for all that you share with this community. And you do it with class, style and an artistic vibe. Glad I found you and your channel.
I like your reviews very much! You waste no words, each of them carries useful information. Keep going!
Instant subscribe AND one of the first comparison-related videos that got me to comment on this site. Your humor shines through in the way that you edit, while your charisma and attitude make the entire video a seamless, fitting watch. As for the content, it somehow touches on all of the aspects of reviewing that I have always wanted when making informed purchasing decisions--namely, informative comparison of specific features ACROSS items and a real-time simulation of how they would be used day-to-day. Thank you for showing me something new.
I love the way you present your products - clear and efficient. thanks for the useful videos 🙃
I can’t get over how extremely well done your videos are. Thank you so muc.
Your product review (the Pakt bag video, too) is very clear and your packing strategies are quite helpful as well.
Can I tip my cap at how useful and well put together this is. Just what I needed . Thank you x
This is the level of information I want when looking up items. Also, thank you for simulating an EpiPen fitting in them all!
I used your code on my Go Sling Mini, thank you! I went with the black multi-cam with orange interior.
One of the more solid edited reviews I’ve read. Keep up the good work.
DANKESCHÖN! By FAR one of the BEST reviews!
This is a great video! The breakdown was awesome!!
Excellent review and information. I really appreciated the splitscreen overview. Thank you for including not only the manufacturer dimensions but also your build, dimension and actually putting a good mix of items into the bag. I dont need them but a pill bottle and a epipen stand-in were a class touch. Its always great to see a fellow 6er producing such great content. Subscribed!
Just watched this as I'm planning a trip soon. Just wanted to thank you for such an informative and well made video. Really impressed, and that's coming from someone who never leaves comments on CZcams.
Your video is the best I have seen bar none Maurice! The 3 way split-screen is wonderful and allows the best comparison. I will be getting the Aer 3 or 6L, still deciding! THANK YOU!
Watched a lot of this style of video over the years, and i think yours are the best ive seen! Great stuff, thank you
Really appreciate the high production quality of this video. Well done.
you’re literally my comfort person i love you *luxdups* !
Your videos are so dope. Honestly next level stuff. And you made me fall in love with Alpaka! Haven‘t heard of them before and I am amazed by their products now. Thanks!
Very cool presentation of necessary travel needs! Thanks!
I got the tomtoc, they now have one with a bright color inside, an important feature to me. Thanks for the recommendations!
Bro your videos are real concise and effective in delivering information. Subscribed.
Maurice! I’ve watched four of your vids in a row. Thank you.
I picked up the tomtoc recently, with a heroclip on top. Its been my work companion for the past few months. I have the same disappointment in the lack of a high vis interior, but elsewise love it.
The only thing I think its missing would be a cable passthrough from the main to the front compartment (or even back) for charing my phone on the go.
The blue white ver has a grey interior. Tempted to buy that to replace my gray one.
Quality content, sir. Detailed, practical, and to the point.
true!
Great content as always, Maurice!
Ohhhh finally someone who mentions Tomtoc in a sling line up! Nice, I’m a big fan of that sling haha
started traveling more this past year, you're channel is awesome!
Just discovered your channel today and already watching 3rd video. Great stuff. Keep up the great work!
First-time viewer, instant subscriber. The production quality is unreal, both visually and in the writing!
Just discovered your channel, I love the editing and how concise you are with everything. Great videos
What a fantastic review!! Subscribed 👌🏽
Ha ha I AM a Travelers Co Notebook geek! And multi pens. I really like the second one! I love your channel and how sleek your life is! Cheers Maurice🎉
Great video. Will start to binge watch some more of your videos. Keep up the great work!
Arc’teryx Mantis is my go to. I like how the straps actually turn at the connectors instead of sticking straight out of the bag in a single direction. This makes it waaaay more comfortable. I don’t care too much for their clothing, but the bags are nice.
Like others here, I enjoy travel gear videos. I really like your videos, so I just subscribed. You are concise, & thorough. The side by side comparisons are excellent, & really help people in making informed decisions about which ones to buy. Thank you!!
Such an amazing video! Keep up the good work 👍
Dude I don't even travel that much but you've convinced my that I need a sling bag... excellent in-depth review!
Thanks for the recommendations 😊
great great reviews and suggestions!
Excellent vidéo. Thanks! 😊
You are really passionate about these bags. Great video.
I am impressed. Instant subscriber. your video is factual, concise, to the point, helpful and visually exceptional. Excellent presentation 👍🏻
This video was exceptionally helpful. I love the way you think of things like epipens and tissues. I hadn't considered external loops before, but that would free up a bunch of internal pocket space with my Owala FreeSip bottle that I always carry. Thanks!
I know this was an old video for ya, but this was exactly what I was looking for. Have a trip coming up and this advice was fantastic. Thank you
Thank you for the information it was very well presented 😁
Amazing work on this
Such a good video! I ended up buying the alpaka go-sling mini (the regular one was sold out so I had to get the limited edition black vx21) Thank you for the solid recommendation! And 15% off was a nice bonus 😃
Between the Alpaka Go Sling Mini, Bravo Sling, and Bravo Sling Max I’m covered for anything from 4-10L required storage. I’m a big Alpaka fan. The first two are great for travel use keeping essentials out of my backpack, while the Bravo Max is great around town, or hung off the back of the passenger seat if I’m road tripping. I’m new to your reviews, nice to see local Toronomans into carry and EDC!
That was a phenomenal review video 👍
Amazing quality video, wow ! Subscribed furiously.
Just got the Tomtoc from your link, thanks Maurice, amazing comparison video!!
Solid video! I love my Tomtoc!! Subscribed
on your recommendation, I got one of the TomTocs a few months ago as extra pockets and I am constantly delighted by it. Thank you
This fella was one of the tomtoc reviews I watched before purchasing mine; and I’m enjoying it. Soldier, sturdy bag with enough organization and room for fanny pack/sling bag things and keeps you honest with what you bring.
New sub here. Very detailed. Love the split screen and focus on the sizes of the bags.
I am going to get a sling! Which one and what size? Maurice you have been the one to get me thinking about this! Thanks! ( I think?! Lol). Your vid’s are most insightful and so well done. THANK YOU SIR‼️🐾👍🏼
You are so good at this. You really are.
Great video man!
I've been looking for sling bags that works for me as well, the back compartment as the video showed is really important, security, ease of use and the ability for it to compress and expand when needed is important for me as well, since there are days I carry more stuff than usual, but don't necessarily need a bag pack. The best one that works for me is from urban nature niid , R1 radiant urban sling. Been using it for a year now, has been worn out a little bit since I use it daily and so far so good. Would buy it again, hope you guys would search it out as well
I love the traveler's notebook with the Lamy Safaris
What a video!! great job!
Just bought a sling bag -tomtoc based on your reviews.. keep on reviewing...
Impressive video, as I haven't used a sling in my travels, so this is great reference when I have no baseline if and when I make a purchase.
Hi Maurice! First, your video presentation and communication over products are second to none. I bought the TomToc bag back when you had covered it previously. Thanks for that. It may not be your niche but I would love to see the process of how you put together a video from story boarding, shot process, and editing phase with the transitions and animations used. I'm sure that your note-taking skills with journaling translate over to the digital front. Heck, I'd even be happy to pay to see this because if more people reviewed like you, the bottom line for product coverage would improve as a whole. Thanks again for your videos and I'm looking forward in continuing my digestion of all previously made content you have done in the past. Cheers.
how do you find the bag now after months of using it, also does the messy straps bother you or is it fairly hidden
@@jordan.h6821 I'm thinking you were meaning to ask Maurice about the bag but since I own it as well, I'll weigh in my opinion additionally. The straps in my opinion never got in the way when wearing the bag as they are the same feel and width of a car seat belt. It naturally contours to your body. As far as the fairly hidden aspect, I would not expect to be able to wear this bag under a jacket or under any clothing as it will surely show a lump on your back or front. Because the TomToc bag doesn't have compression straps on the side, it can bulge out depending on what you are wearing. Hope this helps!
Really enjoying all your content.
Same as BlueGumbo below... your video quality is superb (chef's kiss)!
You do a really good job with video’s thank you you have a very good way of presenting.
Oddly satisfying to watch ❤
Extremely Amazing Video Sir !
Thank you, Maurice. Your clip helped me decide what type of sling is for me. I got two from Alpaka.😀 🎉🙏
Great review, I have seen a few of yours now, and I like the way you think regarding travel. Good suggestions, I am thinking AER, I have their City Pack and Love it, as well as some of their smaller pouches. Also a fan of the Alpaka Tech Pouch. Thx again for a thoughtful review! Subscribed!
great video...i am a sucker for bags and that they are functional...i'm about to be a new subscriber and already put that alpaka in the cart for purchase this week. perfect travel bag for me
