I've been keeping a close eye on this one over the last couple of weeks as I have some travelling to do and it appears to be a good 'budget' weekender/light overseas travel backpack.

You can also pair it with OzBargain's favourite eshay bag which is 20% off again - https://www.amazon.com.au/tomtoc-Minimalist-Shoulder-Crossbo…

    I too have been keeping a close look. Prior to this they were having this 15% discount with a code clearly listed on Amazon. Not much differences

      Sadly is this case, but I might just bite the bullet.

      • xeri on 19/08/2024 - 09:42

        it's similar pricing on prime day few months ago if it makes you feel better (bought one then)

      • raiseyoursteaks on 19/08/2024 - 10:12

        It's a really good brand, I have the minimalist crossbow which can slip a Nintendo in. Their quality is really good

    Do you know the nett-weight of this bag ?
    ( Amazon says 1.2 kg )

    I like the features of this bag, but I'm wondering if you know of something like this…but 50L and 60L capacity?

    I really like duffle bag designs, and I have those North Face PVC duffle bags,
    but from different brands (eg. Mountain Designs, Patagonia, etc.), and in 40L - 70L sizes.

    However, they don't have as many side pockets as the 'tomtoc' ones, and that's what I'm needing.

    • simplycurious on 19/08/2024 - 07:58

      Yeah it's a tad more than 1.2kg when empty, I suspect this is more the 35L-38L carrying capacity.

      I'm not too fond of the duffel bag look, but I did see the new Patagonia Blackhole range that might fit your criteria.

    • CyberMurning on 19/08/2024 - 09:13

      duffle bag designs = usually heavy?
      i prefer the osprey materials. light.

    I have a TomToc sling and was very happy with the quality - to a point that I ditched my Bellroy slings for it. it's very high quality and super convenient, also looks cool and modern

    so when I ordered this backpack in July this year I had same expectations, but I was disappointed - fabric is not the same one they used for the sling, and overall this thing feels cheap, I returned it. if it was just a big version of their sling (like their 14" laptop bag is, I use it for my MBP 14" and it's awesome!), it would justify the price and would be the best backpack ever, but it's not, it's a considerable downgrade from those 2 TomToc products I mentioned above.

    so don't expect the same quality if you own other TomToc products like their sling or 14" laptop bag

        On the contrary, I have this bag and I use it every day for my commute. It’s amazing and the quality exceeds the price by far. I’m planning on using it as my only bag for a trip I have coming up soon. I suggest reading the Amazon reviews and watching some YouTube reviews by a backpack channel instead of taking one person’s word for it.

          "There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio,
          that are dreamt of in your philosophy. but come.."

          there's "one person's word" and there's "facts". fabric and quality are not the same as other TomToc products, and my "word" or lack thereof would not change that

          40l

          damn can we get a rough breakdown on whats the EDC you rocking? Or you just like having extra space?
          Some days I think even a 20L is a bit too much…

    • WayneOZ on 19/08/2024 - 08:35

      Thanks for the sharing. I know that sling bag is a quality product but I didn't expect this to be a disappointment. Will pass and money saved!

      • shabaka on 19/08/2024 - 08:56

        sling is amazing, I wear it almost every day. it doesn't fit a Lenivo SmartPaper tablet, but this is kinda a stretch no pun intended lol

    • GUYANDSON on 19/08/2024 - 08:54

      This is bag is a travel duffle pack first and foremost - less EDC and more travel orientated which would contribute to the cheaper feeling.

      I've been using this bag for a few trips over the last year now, over to the US, Japan, SK and a brief stint in the Nordics. IMO you simply aren't going to get a bag like this at this price or at this weight for this intended purpose. Other bags cost more (sometimes significantly) and/or weigh up to half to a full kg more. You can look at those cheap $40, similarly featured bags on amazon but the quality won't be there at all.

      If you're on a budget and you are looking to get a carry on backpack for travelling it's hard to go wrong with this IMO. It punches well above its weight in this space.

        if I wanted to get laughed out of business class lounge, that would be my primary choice, yes.

          This bag is more than fine for business class lounges lmao, made it in every time. Stop rocking up looking like a shoestring backpacker and you'll be fine  😉

          You are welcome to spend the $200-300+ for the better looking bags in this area though

            @D3m3ntia: and why is that, may I inquire?

            I am just kidding there, flexing my morning rant muscle with a bit of bitterness - COVID changed my business to mostly remote engagements, so I am not flying as often as I used to. I don't mind BTW, getting a bit long in the tooth.

            oh those strange, irretrievable days.

    • SpeedRunnerLink on 19/08/2024 - 08:57

      Could be a rebrand with some slight changes of this

      Do you mean the 14” version of the sling backpack?

    • sauce2k on 19/08/2024 - 09:48

      The sling is top notch stuff

    • theguyrules on 19/08/2024 - 10:12

      Ooh what 14" bag is that? This one?

    I've had this bag for roughly 6 months and used it on a number of trips and love it. The amount of compartments and the way they are split is great. Fantastic for carry on and have used this bag for a week trip which was perfect. Agree that the fabric isn't the same quality as the sling but don't find this to any way effect the use of the bag. Any questions, I'll try and answer.

  • Jit0809 on 19/08/2024 - 08:52

    how does this compare to the high sierra or Targus backpacks in similar size?

  • sethr0 on 19/08/2024 - 09:05

    I have this and it's great. Good for 3-day trips and the simplicity is just the way I like it.

    • Endynos on 19/08/2024 - 09:19

      Agreed- i have one too and its perfect for short overnight trips. However i lve recently gotten a slightly smaller bag for everyday commute and work

      • sethr0 on 19/08/2024 - 09:25

        yeah ive been using it as my daily commute/work bag but agreed it's a bit tall/long for that purpose. Will prolly get a smaller one too.

      • vash12 on 19/08/2024 - 09:47

        Looking for a bag for everyday commute as well that is similar but smaller than this. Any recommendation?

        • Endynos on 19/08/2024 - 10:01

          I probably wouldn't get one of those expandable bags if you're looking for a smaller everyday commute option. They're a bit fiddly but are great when you need more space e.g. gym clothes

          I've been recently trying something smaller like this which reminds a lot of those really expensive camera bags (but smaller)
          (https://amzn.asia/d/2ZjbChK)

  • beigehornet on 19/08/2024 - 09:12

    i bought a while ago. a 7/10 bag, little soft but should be fine.

  • pepto on 19/08/2024 - 09:36

    Can’t seem to find the grey one, any links?

    • terlalu on 19/08/2024 - 09:57

      OOS now..
      but who knows with Amazon. It might magically come back in stock in an hour.

  • johnthedoe on 19/08/2024 - 09:57

    I got rid of my peak design travel 45. Ended up getting this and much prefer it. It's much lighter and simpler to use. Plus it still fits the large camera cube when needed.

  • Headless on 19/08/2024 - 10:15

    I've been eying up this for ~$50

    There's one on Temu that looks really similar like this bag…
