tomtoc 1 5L Sling Bag with RFID Blocking Crossbody Bag Minimalist Chest Shoulder Pack for Men and Women

This sling punches above its size and has become my go‑to daily bag. The organization is excellent: main compartment for bulkier items, front for quick‑access, and a more secure pocket for cards and cash. It’s comfortable crossbody, feels light even when fully packed, and the materials and zippers feel tough and premium. The only downsides are that the front pocket can get tight if you overstuff it, and it’s not meant for carrying bigger or heavy items. Overall, a great compact EDC sling that looks good and works hard. Honestly though I wouldn’t mind having invested more earlier for an even larger bag of the tomtoc brand stock. Read more

The media could not be loaded. I went through several buy-and-returns on Amazon to try and find the perfect crossbody bag for my latest trip to Europe. I only had a few criteria, which was molded by other travelers' suggestions, and from process of elimination from the other bags I tried. Here's what I wanted: 1) Thick strap, fixed ends. 2) Quality zippers. 3) Ease of access to ALL pockets. 4) Lockable (with zipper locks). 5) LOTS of space. This bag hits all those marks. I tried a few bags that had a clip at the bottom, which could've EASILY been undone by a would-be thief, so I wanted to find one with solid ends. This bag has fully-stitched ends, much like a seatbelt material, and while this makes it less comfortable to adjust, the security is worth it. I can't imagine someone slicing through this strap in one shot. I zip-tied the mid-belt strap clip together, and it was still completely adjustable. Zippers are excellent, and function as they should. In line with that, I wanted all pockets to be easily accessed while wearing, but still secure. Each zipper came with a small rope pull, a few of which I removed to discourage would-be thieves from seeing where the zippers were. I used zipper locks on the main large compartment, and a smaller lock clip on the front pocket. These were very easily accessible by me, but would've been really hard to maneuver from the front. The flat back pocket was extremely useful for receipts and bills, full-size letter envelopes (for tour guide tips, etc), and the whole bag is RFID. Full marks there. Now, let's talk about capacity. I almost bought the 1.5L, but decided to go with the 3.5L, and boy am I glad I did! This has a TON of space, especially if you know how to compartmentalize. You'll see in the image a sample of what I carried daily on my trip, including a full-size paperback book, a large portable battery, and several other items. I was also able to fit my sunglasses and a 1.7oz bottle of spray sunscreen, which are not pictured. This has SO MUCH SPACE. Still very comfortable and easily manageable, and the strap could even be sized down to be worn comfortably on the waist. I cannot recommend this bag enough. Made my entire trip feel secure, and never felt like I needed much more space than I used. I fit several other things inside along the way, including a column bust from the Colosseum and my neck fan, but only when I had left the book on the bus. It's basically a TARDIS. I'll be looking for reasons to break this thing out again, and I'll miss having such a handy thing on me at all times when I get back into my regular routine! Buy this bag! Read more

I bought the 1.5L sling bag—it's a good price point and seems well-made. It comes with RFID Blocking. There is plenty of space for my largest iPhone model and extra space for a passport, money, and a few other items. It isn't chic, but it is functional. It is made in Indonesia, not China. Overall, for the value and functionality, I give it five stars. I think it is perfect for walking around a city during the day or evening when you don't want to carry a backpack. I will also take it to a gym class, so I have my phone with me, but it isn't on the floor or in my gym shorts. Read more

I looked at a lot of packs. I wanted it to be roomy, yet small enough to grab and go (I'm a 6', male). I can easily put wallet, car keys, home keys, ear bud case, mints, hand sanitizer, in the main area with room still. My phone does fit in the outside zip but it's a tight fit. I could put it in the main pocket but it would be a lot. This doesn't bother me because I like having my phone in my pocket. The zippers and pull tabs are smooth and easy to operate. The interior is orange, which I read some people don't like but I think it's cool and makes it super easy for me to find things. All said, a great grab and go pack for essentials and then some!
