Bellroy Lite Sling Sling Crossbody Bag For Men Women 2024 New Lightweight Water-resistant Materials Perfect for Travel 7L

Bellroy is top notch and well worth the price. I use this sling bag so much. Chic enough for my style and exceptional in design and comfort. I have shoulder issues and have gone through many cheap sling bags when I should have purchased this one long ago. I also use the Bellroy city tote a lot too and it’s great for travel or daily use without being heavy or too big. The same is true of this sling. It holds so much and is so lightweight it’s not a problem and never feels heavy. It doesn’t hurt my neck or shoulders and it can take the wear and tear of daily running around. The strap has a strong magnetic feature, which is why I bought it, but honestly I don’t even need to use that. It’s easy enough to slide right on and off without causing me shoulder pain. Truly great sling for anyone. I highly recommend it. Read more

Love Bellroy products. Love the aesthetics of them, the materials, and the company. I have a lot of their products. I have tried a lot of the various sling variations. The sling mini looks great. Absolutely love the simple, clean look, but the magnetic buckle was not in an accessible place based on how I wear the bag. And it was hard to open the bag all the way open when it's against my body because of the design and fabric. Being in a rush and having to open the bag was sometimes frustrating trying to locate something. Additionally, it really needed 1-2 more interior organization pockets, which was unfortunate that it didn't have. Ultimately, returned the sling mini even though I love the look. The Venture sling is great. I have that one. It's bigger. The zipper made it easier to access your items. The option to unbuckle the bag on either side was helpful, but the buckle on the Venture isn't as attractive as the sling mini. It's not magnetic, but appears to be plastic. It actually broke and I contacted Bellroy at which they promptly sent a new one! The Venture sling was mostly the answer but the stiff fabric makes it hard to open the bag up nice and wide. The Lite sling appears to solve a lot of these issues and I'm happy! The magnetic buckle is on the side that I would use most. The strap is not as thick and bulky as it is on the Venture. The bag is "light", and easy to open up wide with the same zipper design as the Venture. There is one additional pocket inside the sling. Sounds like a small deal, but even one pocket is helpful since you can quickly open the bag up wide. The key leash from the Venture is on here also (sling mini had a cheaper, plastic, and short key hook inside the bag that made it so clunky to grab your keys). Overall - I think the Lite sling is a great compromise between the Venture and sling mini/original sling variation. Read more

I recently went on a week-long trip and by the end of it I was convinced that having a sling would make my next trip significantly better. I spent so much of the trip with a half empty backpack I had to carry around because it was the only way to tote the stuff I needed. I also do lots of little outings with my young son on the weekends where having more supplies than what can fit in my pockets is really useful. Finally, after getting this sling, I've realized I can carry everything I need for my trips to the gym! In the attached photo, I've got keys, wallet, earbuds, sanitizer, sweat towel, water bottle, hanky, glasses wipes (and a Tile that's always in there). I don't need all the pockets and dividers that are in many other slings, because while it holds a ton of stuff, it's not THAT big, so I can always find what I need easily, and there's only a couple spots to look in this thing. I'm also a big fan of how NOT tacticool the look is, which is common in other slings as well. Zippers are really smooth and high quality, but basically impossible to use with a single hand. The strap is comfortable and strong. The compression system on the sides is really clever, and helps keep things from falling out if the zippers aren't closed, and keeps as low a profile as possible on your body at all times. The clasp is magic. I don't understand how it can be so easy to open but also so secure when it's closed. Honestly I never thought I'd pay this much for such a small bag, but as long as it doesn't fall apart on me in the near future, I'd say it's fully worth it. Read more
