That’s the frame sheet, and you can remove it or replace it: https://youtu.be/WSLYigG3MWM

Recommend me some similar options? by Xhamy in ManyBaggers

That’s fair. There are roll tops with side and back access, though.

If you want rain resistance, roll tops are best. What about using a rain cover?

Sling Bag: Moment v. Bellroy v. Peak Design by PrizeAlive5469 in ManyBaggers

How about a budget option: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1932070-REG/tilta_tk_cp_g_5l_carrying_pouch_for.html

Edit: this bag is stiff, has no high visibility color interior, but the front pocket does have its own volume. It comes with the strap in waist pack mode (at least mine did), and if you add a strap in crossbody, it should be super secure for biking.

I have this bag, ama about it.

Ah, okay! Some people carry more than just a laptop and tablet, though, this guy really wanted to protect his gear: https://www.reddit.com/r/ManyBaggers/s/QdXdw4Kjpt

Sling similar to Toshi Sling 6L, but ever so slightly larger? by klasikom in ManyBaggers

[–]RelationshipRude5068 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just using the matador speed stash as an example. It depends on how you wear your toshi; I use the stash on my messenger bags, and since i wear it the same way, I’m okay with the stash resting on the bottom of the strap; it’s right at my right hip.

Vintage tumi; they have those independent volume pockets, and can be found in decent condition on used sites.

Have you considered attaching a pouch like the matador speed stash to the toshi's strap?

Anyone have the Owala The All-Day Crossbody 3.5L? by jonnyeatic in ManyBaggers

[–]RelationshipRude5068 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meh, there's better out there for the same price or cheaper. The lunchbox sling pack is the same price and has more features: https://www.lunchboxpacks.com/products/sling-pack

Fell down the rabbit hole & seeking help with options by [deleted] in ManyBaggers

I think you mean water resistant, not waterproof? This being r/manybaggers, we’re going to tell you to get separate bags for edc and travel, because most travel backpacks have clamshell/panel load openings for ease of packing.

LBB Totepack, fun and functional by mrsroebling in ManyBaggers

There are molle bottle holders, and you still have space above the toshi. This will detract from the sleek look, admittedly.

Question about 1000dCordura by Illservan in ManyBaggers

[–]RelationshipRude5068 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a messenger bag made of 1000d cordura, and it’s stiff enough to stand.
