When I posted a video comparing 2 viral travel backpacks, people were quick to tell me about the Tomtoc T66... and I can see why. This bag is incredibly similar to the Bagsmart Blast. Both bags open like a duffle bag, have a quick access pocket on top, have a similar laptop sleeve, and even more. But, there's one very important difference between them that we'll talk about in this video.

If you're looking for a fantastic travel backpack that's under $100, you're going to love this one.
