Bellroy Lite Sling (lightweight crossbody bag) - ArcadeGray

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.

This bag holds a lot of stuff and does not loose its shape. Looks really nice and the strap is very comfortable against my neck. I am very pleased with this purchase.

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.

I really like this bag. It has been my everyday bag for about a year now because I hate having a crapload of stuff in my pockets. I took it traveling in Europe as well. After a year of use, it still looks brand new. What I carry in my bag are: wallet, ear buds, folded shopping bag, Oakley sunglasses (which are pretty big), reading glasses, distance glasses, kleenex, various small things like hand sanitizer, eye drops etc. With all these things in it, it is pretty full. However, it ain't 7 liters. 7 liters is like 20 cans of soda (liquid minus the cans) or 3.5 2-liter bottles. Yeah, nuh uh. I would say it is closer to 3 liters from a practical standpoint, 4 liters max. My old 2 liter bag held all of these but was stuffed pretty tight. This one has a little more room. And I'm okay with that because I wouldn't want to carry 7 liters of stuff in a sling bag. Pros: - Very comfortable to wear for long periods - The strap is soft to the touch and very flexible. Although it looks like webbing, it is soft like fabric - The magnetic clasp - oh the joy of the magnetic clasp. It is so easy to put on and take off, especially when you're wearing a hat. No more wiggling through the strap and knocking your hat or your sunglasses off. It takes 1 second to detach and 1 second to reattach. It also makes a great fidget toy. - The ingenious double zipper - makes it easy to open from either side, without having to search for the zipper tab - Very lightweight and squishes up to virtually nothing when packing in a suitcase - Fabric seems pretty durable - I've brushed against walls and dropped it on the ground. Still looks brand new Cons: - I have a small frame so the strap is too long by about at least 4-6 inches for me. So it hangs pretty loose. So when I lean forward, the bag slides from my back to my front. Wish the strap could go a little shorter. But I used a little strap hook and was able to shorten it and now it fits fine. - Pockets - Ironically the front small zippered pocket has 2 internal pockets (which you really can't use cuz the front pocket is so small), while the main, large compartment has only one small pocket unless you count that small pouch thingy at one end that I keep my earbuds in (but they often jump out of the pouch, the pesky buggers). It would be great if they put a soft-lined pocket for glasses or at least another general use pocket. Even better would be if they put another external pocket on the back (facing your body) where you could store your phone. - Front zippered pocket hard to open - because it is buried behind a flap of fabric, it is difficult to open and close, mostly because the zipper tab is often in the wrong position. To make it easier to find and pull, I attached a key chain to the zipper and it works better but still gets stuck. Is this worth the money? I'm kinda on the fence on this. I like most of the features and the quality and detailing are good. I would probably buy it again unless I'm dazzled by another bag.

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.

I wanted a slightly smaller bag for vacation travel because I’ve learned a few lessons based on my travel style. When I go to new cities I love to check out museums, shopping districts, and any monuments, etc. This means I’m on subways or buses, walking outside a good deal, and might shop for a little. I’ve carried around a 17 liter plastic backpack that folds up small in my suitcase for a number of years but there are some limitations. When you go to a museum you have to wear it around your chest (so reverse) if they don’t have storage lockers which is uncomfortable and while it holds everything I might need, it’s often WAY too much space and under utilized. This is where a sling comes in handy. With the Bellroy sling I can wear it comfortably on my back (my preference) or my chest and it’s 7 liter size is that sweet spot of not too big, not too small. Yesterday I also used it hiking with my dog and it was the perfect hiking bag too for short adventures. I can get a small notebook, AirPods, phone, keys, hat, really thin jacket (and I mean really thin, this isn’t wide enough for any jacket that doesn’t folks up pouch like), sunglasses, etc. all in the bag without it feeling bulky or heavy. For my hike I used the key clip as a water bottle clip so I can carry a water bottle (with a loop around the lid) on the outside of the bag. It’s not the classiest looking set up, but it keeps me from worrying about water leaking in my bag. For what it’s worth, I got the “chalk” bag and though it looks whiter in the pictures, it’s really a light gray. Personally, I was hoping it would be more white but in all honesty, this is a better more neutral color. I got some mud on it while hiking when trying to get the mud off my dog’s paws and it wiped off easily with a wet paper towel.

Pros - it looks great, very stylish. Made me all the more sad that I found it to be not practical. -very lightweight and forms to the body which I like a lot -good quality materials Cons -thin shoulder strap. Not as comfortable for an all day carry with a fully packed out bag. -front pocket is not usable. It’s so shallow and the way the zipper area is designed it’s so annoying to use. -smaller than advertised, you really can’t fit a whole lot in this bag tbh. All in all, I love the look and feel of it. But for a Europe trip carrying all the essentials, it’s not the move. Also doesn’t have much organization. I found the Chrome Industries Sabin 6L to be a much more practical alternative

These bags are awesome! I've been using it for a little over two years. Although it is not a camera bag, I use it as a camera bag and find it perfect. The material is strong and durable and if it's one mirrorless camera and two small-ish lenses perfectly.

Super sacoche qui ne me quitte pas, je fais de la photo de concert et je peux aisément mettre mes accessoires dedans

This bag is about right size. Bag weighs is so light and easy to put 500ml water bottle inside. Highly recommended to buy.

Well I am a minimalist and not a fashionable person and I am looking for something that I would carry everyday. It's light, it fits pretty a lot - umbrelle, power bank, purse, keys, and a shopping bag. Just what I need for a weekend out.

İki gündür kullanıyorum, aldığım gün kahve döküldü ve içinde kameram vardı hiç bir sıkıntı olmadı. Fujifilm kamera pancake lens ile çok rahat sığıyor ve ekstra Lens için (16-55mm) yer kalıyor. Bu kadar dolu olmadığında küçülebiliyor (Akordiyon gibi) içinde fermuarlı bir göz ve yan tarafta minik bir file alan var. Telefon ve kulaklık koymak için ideal. Keşke bir kaç ufak bölmesi daha olsaydı demek dışında çok kullanışlı. Ön taraftaki fermuarlı göz biraz dar. Kalın yapılı bir cüzdan zor sığıyor. Kumaşı geri dönüştürülmüş plastik diye geçiyor ama bence hissiyatı güzel.

軽くてデザインが良い。 質感も最高！
