this has to be the only guy on YouTube that makes entertaining bag videos, also model shots are super helpful and super detailed reviews and great lighting and angles!

After carrying a larger sling on an overseas vacation, I was awakened to the joys of not stuffing my pockets full every time I leave the house. I have this sling in rust and it is my go to for EDC. Phone and sunglasses have dedicated spots in the main compartment, which zips from both sides. Back compartment is semi hidden and perfect for a wallet. Keys and AirPods go up front with plenty of space left for smaller EDC items.
-
I agree with their straps being some of the best. I love how it compresses the bag when it's not fully packed. I have the bigger version and I fall in love every time I go back to it
-
That walk with the sunglasses was SO "stayin' alive" mood... ππ GO AERπ
-
Been thinking of picking one of these up for a long time. Thanks for the review!
-
I tried the Bellroy amongst other and the Venture had a ton of great features. There were a couple of things I didn't like. I went with the Greenroom 136 Metrorunner and couldn't be happier. Keep up the great content.
-
Ok, I thought I was done and I love with my Sling lite, untilβ¦. This one lol! Love it! Love the size and it holds everything perfect. Again thank you! Loving this sling ππΌ
-
Iβve been using this sling for about a year and itβs amazing. My favorite use case is amusement parks, Disney, universal etc. Can easily be converted to waist pack for the rides that require it.
-
Love this new "throwing" thingπ Hope to see it more in the future!
-
Another great review! Love my Venture Sling 2.5L, its is the best pocket reliever for sure. I pretty much use it every day, in fact it feels strange not using it and putting stuff in my pockets. Used daily, highly recommended. Agree the zipper pulls could be improved.
-
I have the green colour one and I love it!! Btw pairs well with the memo bottle A6. Perfect for every day carry.
-
Also my favorite small sling, I sort of need slings this size to have that sort of protective phone sleeve, and have the key leash in a seperate area altogether. Bellroy's sling strap mounting system is the best. I have the orange one, which has a nice dark brown strap. I normally don't prefer magnetic buckles on weight bearing straps, but the one they use here at least doesn't come undone easily for flat type.
-
This has been my go to since it dropped. Itβs been everywhere and the perfect size. It will be hard for others to top this.
-
Roav foldable sunglasses fit perfectly in that front pouch.
-
agree the this was the top sling last year and that baida ripstop is a great fabric. Hate the glossy PUs and the dangling zips though.
-
Fantastic review Iβm sold
-
The best everyday sling, no discussion, perfect size, materials and comfiness, plus, itβs sleek! I used an AER day 3 sling until I discovered this beauty!
-
Hey Aaron, nice review as always. Love the stuff you are making. One question: does the main component fit a Alpaka hub pouch ? And if yes is enough space for the other usual stuff like sunglasses key⦠? And whatnot your experience with bellroy colors ? The blue version is out of stock for over 2 months is it coming back ?
-
I just got this sling for 66 bucks, so excited!
