Tomtoc Navigator Review
"Budget-Friendly Basic"
Solid capacity, decent construction, super affordable.
More on the Tomtoc Navigator
What I like
- Lightest, most spacious and cheapest of the affordable bags I've compared
- Decent weight for the capacity
- Pretty decent back panel
- If you mostly care about price and capacity, you should know about this one. Get a couple years out of it and you're winning
Watch for
- Just feels cheap to me. The fabric feels like it could rip or tear at some point
- Not in the same class as the pricier bags. The risk with a cheap bag is a zipper or strap failing mid-trip, though I think this one will actually be fine
Specs
- Advertised 40L
- About 2.2 lb
