    The spilt screen was next level reviewing
  • @MaryRenaud
    Really appreciate the simulated EpiPen. That’s always my primary “will this fit?” question, and it’s very considerate of you to include it.
  • @bluegumbo6014
    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.
  • @AliasJimWirth
    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.
  • 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.
  • @t9310
    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.
  • @michaels9574
    Honestly the best EDC reviewer on YouTube right now 🙌
  • I agree, having an extra zippered which partly hidden & closest to you is nice to have & can be used for passports & other important papers for travel. I just came back from 15 days London trip & I used sling bag for the first time & I’m completely satisfied with it. From now on, slings will be my go-to travel bag
  • @fanofbama14
    I got the TomToc for our trip to Mexico after watching this video and it is by far my favorite sling now!
  • @RonKwok
    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!
  • @garcons79
    I’m just randomly watching bags review videos on YouTube 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!
  • @andrewbraj
    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.
  • @bearnosaur
    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.
  • @Netsylvain
    Very efficient, relevant and to-the-point information. Maurice nails it, everytime.
  • @taturpin
    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!
  • Maurice, Just love the way you compared and explaned the differences between each bag. 🙂 Quick and efficient!
  • 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.
  • 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 ✌🏼
  • @keno1069
    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!
