The Rework Gear Toshi Pack is a compact 20L bag that packs a great combination of organization and wide open dump style capacity in a very efficient and useful package perfect for those looking for a small urban-use EDC pack. * 00:00 - Start * 02:40 - Overview/Disclaimer * 03:29 - Design & Materials * 06:39 - Front Top Admin Pocket * 09:36 - Front Ambidextrous Pocket * 13:14 - Side Water Bottle/Quick Access Pockets * 16:59 - Laptop Compartment * 18:54 - Main Compartment - Access * 20:20 - Main Compartment - Internal Organization * 24:07 - Load Carriage * 30:24 - For/Not For * 32:06 - Also Consider * 35:19 - Who Knows... Some of the key strengths of this bag include: * Similar to the Toshi sling, it features a nice blend of pocketing and organization but also some wider open “dump style” areas - most especially the front ambidextrous pocket and the dual rear laptop drop in area. * Has a lot of the best or most popular features from many other daypacks out there - dual side water bottle pockets, top QAP, front top dump-style admin pocket but still manages to remix it in a cohesive manner * Relatively compact and surprisingly lightweight at just 1kg * Surprisingly efficient for such a compact bag - it makes good use of normally "dead space" towards the top of the bag and is surprisingly well equipped to carry two full sized 16" laptops + a tablet and more. When it comes to areas of improvement, I honestly don’t have that many notes for this bag. That said, if I had to mention a few things: * The front ambidextrous outside access pocket is an interesting idea but I found it a bit tight with smaller zipper openings than I would prefer - in practice I found it slightly less useful than a more voluminous standard-access front slash pocket would have been. * The zipper on the main compartment has a sort of “catch point” midway through - I actually think this is intentional as it sort of enables a CHZ-half-zip like opening style for working in/out of the bag (also evoking their Toshi sling opening style) but I think some people might prefer it zips fully open like a clamshell * I personally wish this bag had at least one side handle though I don’t know that this is necessarily a shortcoming - but it’s so compact that I often found myself wanting to pick it up and portage it by its side Rework Gear - Toshi Pack 20L https://reworkgear.com/products/toshi-pack-20l Also mentioned in this video: Evergoods Civic Book Bag 22L https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqSKgph6i34 Aer City Pack Pro v2 24L https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsecaXAxVjs Evergoods Element Bifold Wallet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TS6BPjBDO1E Note: This product was provided by Rework Gear for review purposes.
