Toshi Sling 5L V2

I bought this as a counterpart to a much smaller 2l sling as I wanted something which could carry a water bottle and a notebook, in addition to the usual odds and ends. All in all, a great value bag, which has been very well thought out.

Great Points

- The size is a great compromise: it can fit a lot in, but when only partially loaded, it flattens out a bit. Other brands in a similar 6l size looked too substantial even when empty.
- The x-pac is a nice material- I quite like the crinkle sound. The internal mustard lining is very nice indeed!
- I like the top sunglasses pocket and the straps on the bottom. The straps are ideal for securely stowing a scarf or water proof.
- The strap is lovely: easy to adjust and I like the ability to reorient where the buckle sits.

(Minor) Things I'm less keen on

- Although the internal organisation is pretty decent, I found that filling the half-height slip pockets obstructed access to the bottom of the main compartment when used, making it awkward to put in or remove a water bottle. I don't see how this could be designed around- I think I'll just have to pick between using a big water bottle or something smaller with the organisation.
- The flap over the front pocket takes a bit of getting used to: it sometimes feels in the way when trying to open and close the zip.
- The rear pocket can be a little awkward to access. My comparison is a much smaller sling, so again, I think this more a property of the size of the bag, rather than the design.
- I miss having some organisation or a divider in the front pocket. I'd like to keep my keys in there separate from other items.

The 5L hits a really nice sweet spot between a small everyday sling and something that can carry a little more. I love the X-Pac material, especially the structure and clean aesthetic it gives the bag. There’s enough room for my daily essentials plus a few extras without immediately feeling cramped. The organization makes sense, and I appreciate that Rework kept the overall design pretty understated. My biggest nitpick is that it can start feeling a little bulky when fully loaded, and I wish a few things were just a bit more refined. Still, it’s a really capable sling that I enjoy using. Definitely worth considering if you want extra room without jumping to a much larger bag.

Very happy with this purchase. I really like the design and the ability to change the strap setup. The price is pretty good too. The small thing I noticed is the crunchy sound of the X-Pac version when accessing the front pocket but I guess it comes with the material.

非常好用，隔層多，拉鏈也很滑順。

Bought the nylon one before, and now getting the X-Pac version for the rainy season. Love this sling bag! Great size, excellent and logical organization. Highly recommend!

Good materials and make. Compartment sizes are just right for my needs.
