I have been looking for a bag to carry my laptop and CPAP machine together since TSA will check both without fail. Previously I had them in different places, laptop in my carry on luggage and CPAP in its own bag.
Thanks for your review which helped reinforce my own reasons for purchasing. The luggage handle pass thru is an awesome feature for how I travel. Also, I did find a small seatbelt covering for the unpadded side handle.
I’m totally pulling the trigger on this one! Awesome
Value.
Thank you for watching and I agree!
Excellent informative review.
Thank you for watching and I’m glad the video was helpful!:)
I love this bag I went on a 4 day cruise it was all I needed!
Thank you for watching and glad to hear the bag worked well for you!
Finally a real review on this! I almost got it before my recent trip, but decided to pay 5x as much for an Aer Travel Pack. I had the budget to pay more but this looks like a great value and I’ve suggested it to friends already.
Thank you for watching and I’m glad the video was helpful! I do think this is a great budget friendly option, but glad to hear you got the aer travel pack, definitely one of my top 2 or 3!
I have my TomToc A82 for over a year. I have taken in 5 or 6 trips, and it is by far the best travel backpack I ever owned.
Hello could you please make a review on the newer inatech 42 l bag and the 38.5-46 l extendable ? Would be interesting to see how they compare to the tomtoc. Thank you :)
I have this bag and I like it, I made a review on it while back on my channel. They say you can do 3-5 days on this bag, I just used it on a 7 day trip and worked perfect.
Thank you for watching and that’s awesome to hear the bag worked out well!
Does it work as a personal item (fits unders the seat)?
@@IAmTesla not sure just used it for road trips
Great price for a 40L backpack 👍👍👍
Maybe I use vacuum storage bag for it. I can have way more space. Plus I hope can go through TSA when travel oversea
Load lifters would be a nice touch for a 40L bag, but hey, I guess you can't get everything for this price. Still seems like a pretty damn decent travel bag for 80 bucks.
Would be amazing to see a comparison between this and the quechua nh 500
I have this bag. It’s well-made, strong, lots of room. I had the Osprey, but this bag is better-designed.
Thank you for watching and glad to hear the bag has been working out well!:)
My 3 must have features to qualify as a "travel backpack" are:
1. Hip belt - chest strap is simply not complete without a hip belt. Doesn't even have to be fully padded, a very thin strap will do the job.
2. Elastic side compartment - for everything from large water bottles to outdoor gear. Not making this elastic is just form over function.
3. Comfortable handles - like the top handle on this Tomtoc, unlike the side ones which seems like an afterthought.
Oversall looks good and the duffel opening is definitely the most interesting, but I prefer my Decathlon Escape 500 which offers all the above features at a lower price point.
Thank you for watching and definitely good features to consider for a travel bag, I’ll have to check out the decathalon bag you mentioned!
Have you gone thru TSA no problem? Or do you get stopped for the dimensions. To pass it off as a personal bag
@@convoludedduded5086 The height is not that different from a backpack, it is much deeper. But it is smaller than a rollaway bag.
I own the Escape 500, 24 L version. But I don't like the 32L version that much, it get's really fat imo. I also own a Travel 40L also from Decathlon, but you can easily fit 50L in it, and it's more a camping like backpack, wich I love for a multidestination travels and roadtrips, it has a lot of compartments but without packing cubes your tech can be on the loose. But I feel like I need something in between, so I am considering this tomtoc with the black friday discount
Maybe I use vacuum storage bag for it. I can have way more space
The Farpoint seems heavy/bulky and this blends more in, a small waist strap would be nice
Thank you for watching and I agree on the aesthetic! Definitely blends in nicely
can we fit 17.3 inch laptop to laptop compartment?
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 the Laptop protecrion, while also having a backpack for long travels like an all in one backpack.
I want to know too
what are the dimensions of the main compartment?
A hi-vis interior lining would have made this bag even better.
and pricier
Thank you for watching and I agree that would have been a nice addition!
Because this video, I buy this bag😂😂😂thank you so much,good job,great video.
Thank you for watching and I’m glad the video was helpful!
Do you think this would work as a travel backpack and then when you get to your destination it could cinch down and become a day hiking backpack?
Thank you for watching! Its not ideal due to the size and layout of the bag but I think you make it work especially with the comfort of the harness
Which one you prefer between this tomtoc and tnf surge?
Thank you for watching! Both are great bags, for travel as a primary use case I think this one can work better as it can hold a little more and it’s easier to pack, but overall I prefer the surge as it has better laptop protection and can work better as a daily bag
would you go far as to say its the best under $200? I just want a BIFL backpack, so just wondering if theres anything significant I'd be missing out on paying a little more, thanks!
Thank you for watching and good question! Nowadays most of the options I would say are “better” probably come in at above 200, the ones that might still be worth considering are some options from the larger brands like the Cotopaxi allpa, Patagonia mini Mlc and the north face voyager basecamp 35l backpack
@dannypacks do you this tomtoc will last 5+ years with moderate use? I just don't wanna cycle through products but $200 is also alot for a backpack.
I'm becoming a big fan of TomToc. Great bags at great prices. Osprey use to have decent prices, not anymore. :( The Farpoint 40 went from $73.00>$184.00! No Sale Osprey! :(
Thank you for watching and I agree, tomtoc is bringing some great bags at good price points!
Don't you miss a waist belt? I would think that at 40l you could build up some weight that can be tough on the shoulders without a waist belt.
Thank you for watching! Although a waist belt can be helpful for a bag this size, I still prefer not to use them
i need this in Bangladesh
Does this backpack qualify as a personal item and fit under the seat?
Thank you for watching! It’s going to be fairly close on many airlines and I would expect to have to put this in the overhead if it’s really packed out, so I think it can potentially work on larger airlines but it’s pretty risky
@@dannypacks I travel with an Away Bigger Carry On so my backpack needs to be a personal item. But I like the price and function of the Tomtoc for additional packing space. Maybe to hold a jacket and some extra clothes.
I have this bag for over 3 months now. great minimalist bag but defo not a 40l back. more like a 30l one. other than that good value for money.
Thank you for watching and glad you’ve had a good experience with the bag!
That's interesting because I got a 20L bag from Tomtoc that would be the equivalent of the Aer Flight Pack configuration (also 20L) and it definitely fit way less than the Aer. To be honest, it seems like it barely packed out as much as my 14L Aer City Pack, so I guess these just pack smaller than the advertised weight. That being said, still seem like great bags that punch a bit above their price.
@@jasecola same here. my osprey 40l packs a lot more than this bag. still a good bag but feel like I wasted money on a non 40l bag.
is this carry-on backpack on the airplane under the seat?
Thank you for watching! I would say you might be able to fit this under the seat in some planes, but I would consider mainly a carryon that would go in the overhead compartment
If it’s not overpacked and say normal packed will it fit like under a Volaris international flight?? @dannypacks
Will it fit in the carryon box at the airline gate
Thank you for watching! This should fit fine as a carryon in overhead storage on most airlines
Yes
This looks like a steal for $81 (at this time)
Thank you for watching and definitely a great deal!
Does this qualify as a personal item?
Thank you for watching! I think you could get away with it on certain larger airlines but on most I would say this is a little closer to carry on / overhead storage size
How to compare this bah with cabin zero?
Thank you for watching! I haven’t had a chance to try out cabin zero bags yet, seems like they fall into a fairly similar category tho?
@@dannypacks it's a 44L carry on backpack, and cheap. I'm thinking tomtoc or cabin zero. 😅
This bag looks good on you.
Thank you for watching!
bro, hurry up and kiss him already, geez.
Doesn’t ANYONE make these with a shoulder strap?
Is it possible to put ipad 12.9 in ipad socket?
Yes, it fits my iPad Pro 12.9" comfortably
Huge MISTAKE to put passports in that wallet on your back with the zipper exposed to anyone walking behind you.... HUGE mistake!
Thank you for watching and that’s a fair point! I wanted to show the size of the compare to with the wallet but I agree you shouldn’t be walking around a city with your passport in an easy to access compartment
Well, hearing you saying at @5:15 "In my case I actually use this to hold ......wallet ..." I took it as you mean it that in your case this is where you put this wallet etc.. anyhow... exposed pockets is a big no for security. @@dannypacks
