Great review. I actually have this bag a few years now, and although I live in one of the wettest countries on Earth, ( Ireland 🙄 ) I never had a problem with those end gaps letting water in. I notice a lot of people in the comments have concerns about those open gaps - nothing to worry about. They are the reason the bag can open so wide. Fantastic bag.

You're spot on about what would improve this bag: the pocket on the "back" for a passport or thin wallet, a dedicated internal spot for an Air Tag, and a dedicated tablet sleeve. It's so well-made with such nice materials, I just wish they'd iterate on this thing and add those features. I have a 6l version, but I plan to get a 9l version as well for travel purposes.

I completely agree with the back zipper compartment! That's why I often come back to my tomtoc and alpaka slings, the back compartment is a must for me as a phone or passport compartment haha

Fun fact: in the bottom of this bag there’s a Bellroy label in black. It has a slit that converts it into a little pocket where you can slide an Air Tag. I think all Bellroy bags have it. Just yesterday I took my green 9L for a tour around my town, visit a museum and take some nice pics. It did fit my Nikon Coolpix, (which, granted, is quite compact) a small umbrella AND my raincoat. Unbelievable. It’s like Mary Poppins’ bag. For the record, Im a petite woman only 5 ft and at first I thought this 9L would look too big on me. No sir. It looks and feels great. It’s a great travel bag also, that’s for sure

Hey Clint! Another amazing video, brother. So I have this bag, exact same bag in fact. The 9L is nice and I use this one whenever I need to carry a bit more stuff. I love this bag. The build is simply outstanding and I really dig the simple design. My only issue with Bellroy bags is the bare bones approach when it comes to organization. As you've mentioned it would be nice if it had a few extra pockets, or at least more pockets with the elastic trim to keep items secure. I also wish this bag's front pocket would have been designed much like the front pocket on the Alpeka Tech Case. You know that stitch design which allows for more bulk in the front pocket. I'm absolutely hooked on this design. No more placing items in the front pocket only to have the bulk push inward and limit space inside the main compartment. Other than my little nitpicks, this bag is really cool.

Finally, more Bellroy, how do you find the durability of the attachment points (buckle) of the straps? Since this is a 9L and the load will be more (and maybe heavier vs the 6L)
@genefactor007 Жыл бұрын
@@alvinbartolome1239 Hi Alvin! I'm sorry for the delayed reply. I personally think the Bellroy was pretty darn comfortable. I initially bought the 9L so I could carry a small water bottle whenever I go to the zoo or for long walks. The straps are pretty standard but placed at pretty good spots on the bag to make carrying it comfortable. I appreciate how it stays flush to the body unlike the Private Label brand which sorta flops all over the place. I HATED that bag. Haha! Wore it once and gave it away. Anyway, I would suggest the Bellroy by way of comfort. I also really like the simple design. My biggest issue with the Bellroy is the lack of dedicated storage sections. Alternatively a plus I have with the bag is the fact that it doesn't have magnetic clasps. I would suggest the Aer Day Sling Max if it weren't for that dang magnetic buckle. However if you like Maglok, I personally would say the AER Day Sling Max is the way to go as it has much better organization.

Really like this sling from Bellroy (especially in that bronze color) but it doesn't come close to how much I love my new Tomtoc sling in x-pac, Klint. I hope it is ok to post a little about it here; I'll keep it short. The TT is awesome in every way and wears extremely well with the offset placement of the straps. I really like the new subdued TT logo, the pockets, & the orange interior, too. Man, I'm in love!

It's a good thing you were able to include an umbrella in this carry, as I have to question the decision to recess the front pocket zipper that deep. Seems to me that would allow water to pool there if you ever found yourself caught out in the rain, and I doubt even the weather-resistant zippers are keeping that out. If by some miracle they do, you certainly can't open that zipper until you've mopped it all up. That said, the Venture is a beautiful bag with some really interesting features. The clay interior of that one pocket was chef's kiss.

I have the camera version which is mostly similar but with a really nice upgraded strap, bit larger size, and some padding and dividers. There are some aspects I don't love, but the one big defect with the venture sling line is the quick release strap connectors, which on the bag side are made of pretty delicate plastic. Some users have already experienced early catastrophic failures on the buckles, and in some regions, have encountered resistance to warranty claims on the buckle failures. I've added some paracord on mine to prevent the bag falling in case of a failure. I'm not that salty about it since I got it on sale from Huckberry for $75, at that price I have no issue with the compromises.

I got the 6L version when it was on sale before and I love it, it fits a lot and hangs really nicely. The strap is so good feeling, smooth and wide and the double ended clips are the best. you got me contemplating the 9l too, like you said though with more weight I sorta prefer a padded strap, like on the monarc settra sling or errant sling. But if you can keep it light, this would be the way to go. For tech carry yeah I throw my iPad mini in there but only in a hard zugu case, and only if not much else is going in there. May get an alpaka go sling mini and move my venture up to a 9l as their design sorta works best for those sizes.
@almeo9137 10 ай бұрын
I went the other way, started with the 9L, and 1 month later decided to get 6L for shorter trips, and more around town. These are well thought out slings, and the small openings are no issue at all, unless you like to ride your bags upside down. Very impressed with the quality.Get the 9L!!!

While I love the materials of the Bellroy venture slings my one real complaint is, its lack of organisation.. after about 6 months of using the Bellroy venture 6L I ended up purchasing an Alpaka elements Tech case max to use as my daily sling because of its awesome organisation. I also added two hub pouches which fit perfectly in the Tech case max for further organisation. It’s a dream setup for an iPad mini setup and daily essentials as well as the ability to swap out Hub pouches depending what the day requires.
