Venture Sling 9L (large crossbody bag) - Black

I purchased the 9L a year ago to take on a trip, and since then the sling has been with me every time I go out somewhere. Durable materials, great design, easy to clean, comfortable to carry, lots of room and internal organization to take advantage of. The only knocks that I can think of is that the front pocket can get cramped at times and tough to reach for items when the main pocket is full. The other knock is the price at the time that I am writing this. There are plenty of cheaper slings out there, and I used to carry one before purchasing the 9L. If you are someone looking for one of the best slings to carry, I can't think of a sling I would rather have over the Bellroy unless you want to spend double to triple on a leather sling or some luxury brand. I also didn't see a reason to get the 6L. Unless you specifically want that size, the 9L gives you more space for just a few dollars extra.

Pack Hacker loves this thing and I think I'm going to as well. I bought it for my trip to Japan coming up. I wanted something that could hold a rain jacket, passport, phone, charger, sunglasses, sunscreen, money, etc. But I didn't want a backpack. You really should check out Pack Hacker's review of this product, but it's really well designed. When you tighten it to fit close to your body the strap pulls the sling in such a way from both ends that it flattens it somewhat against your body. Nothing extreme where it would crush something (unless you had something really delicate in the sling which I wouldn't recommend in general). There is a eye glasses zippered pouch which is positioned higher up in the sling so it keeps your lenses from banging around with the things towards the bottom of the sling. There is a fairly secure rear pocket that even the best pick pocket would be hard pressed to open and lift something out of especially if you're wearing it cross body with the bag on your front. YKK water tight zippers, and basically seat belt material make the straps for this thing. It's very well made and should last you forever. The strap buckles snap into place and unsnap if you squeeze both sides of the release, they're made from quality aluminum so they're light but strong. And it packs down to next to nothing. I plan to wear it on the plane but it can easily be emptied out and laid flat in your suit case or another bag and it would take up next to no room, (think it could share the laptop sleeve in a bag). ONLY complaint, and Pack Hacker mentions this too, is the sling isn't completely waterproof. It's hard to explain w/o you seeing but their are gaps on both sides. They're relatively small and they're covered, but in a downpour or a sizable splash and you might get water inside so, zip lock bag(s) are recommended (especially in Japan cuz public trash cans are scarce) so you can give your phone and passport and ear buds some extra protection. But, just don't get caught in a torrential downpour and you should be happy. I might update more when I get back from Japan.

Used this for multiple international trips now and have really enjoyed it. Sleek design and sufficient versatility for most situations. I use this as my through-the-airport bag as well as walking around town. When I'm actually traveling, there's plenty of space for documents & IDs, notepad, ink pen, battery bank, airpods, protein bar, eye mask, ear plugs, decongestant, spare face mask, hand sanitizer... Everything I'd need quick access to. I like that's it's big enough to carry all that without everything being puzzle pieced in there. Still room to pull one thing out without other things coming out with it. It's also small enough that flight attendants don't have a problem with me wearing it for take off and landing. If there's an emergency, that's when it's gonna happen. I know not to try to bring my actual suitcase with me in an evacuation... but if I'm making it off the plane, I WILL have my passport, phone & charger. Identification and communication/money helps avoid the majority of the stress in the aftermath of an emergency. So far, it has proven durable. Though I must say, it doesn't really get abused. It most stays on my body or locked up altogether (hostel or gym locker). It doesn't get put on the floor or in overhead bins. One thing I wish it had is one thin pocket in the body side of the bag for just my passport. Traveling internationally, I find I need it frequently... But I do not ever just walk around with it in my hand. And I don't want to leave the main compartment wide open for easy access. Small gripe though.

Tolles Material, trägt sich leicht und angenehm. Optimal für den Bummel in der Stadt. Alle relevanten Dinge passen hinein (Sonnenbrille, Powerbank, Handy, EDC Kit, Ladegerät, Ear-Pods) und bei Bedarf noch iPad Air (nicht viel Luft, aber passt), kleinere Kamera (Fuji X-4E) und/oder Regenschirm. Der Riemen ist angenehm weich und flexibel, damit lässt sich das Sling-Bag deutlich angenehmer tragen als andere Bags. Eindeutige Empfehlung!

Dudaba entre comprar esta o el modelo mas grande, pero esta es de un tamaño perfecto. La uso todos los días para llevar mi edc e incluso lo he llegado a usar de viaje... Dentro me cabe una cámara a6700 con un objetivo 18-170, una batería externa de anker pequeña, kindle, gafas de sol, llaves, cartera... Las cremalleras son bastante buenas y se puede abrir por ambos lados. La correa es cómoda en el hombro compraré otros colores.

Ok, lo ammetto, è stato un acquisto compulsivo! Mi dicevo, tanto mi sta tutto in tasca! Ok, forse a volte le tasche erano un pò troppo piene, ma va beh. Invece ora ho tutto con me, non ho più i giubbotti sformati e non corro più il rischio di perdere le cose. Personalmente esteticamente mi piace molto, e paradossalmente ora corro il rischio di avere le cose indispensabili e le non indispensabili, ma tanto prima o poi servono! ;-) Ah .. ci sta anche un tablet 10 pollici dentro e gli spazi interni sono perfettamente organizzati! Ottimo prodotto!

Comme tous les autres produits de ce vendeur, ce sac à bandoulière est génial. Il est grand sans vraiment en avoir l'air. Personnellement j'aimerais que la sangle soit un peu moins large. Je la trouve trop 'heavy duty' pour rien. Je crois que ce sac va servir souvent. Je l'aime mais faites moi en un autre avec la sangle un peu plus étroite et vous en vendrez plus.

iPad Pro 11インチ＋Magic Keyboard＋apple pencilが入るバッグとして使っているが、最適。 ぴったり入る。 デザインはシンプルで素晴らしい。 ペットボトルのリサイクル繊維を使っているという点も好感がもてる。それでいて、チープさはない。（かといって皮革のような高級感もないが、bellroyの企業理念とデザインが好きなので問題なし。） カラーバリエーションも豊富。fog（霧）という色にしたが、派手さはない落ち着いた薄いグレーと言ったかんじ。 体に当たる側が分厚い素材になっているので小物を入れても痛くない。 防水性は期待しないほうがいい。ちょっとなら水を弾く程度。 ベルト部分は取り外し可能。 長さの調整がしやすいのが好印象。
