Excellent review… so thorough, well-filmed, thoughtful. I’m a retired designer with a love for elegant handbags ($600 or under). For me, there is nothing quite as exciting as finding a beautifully designed, wonderfully executed exquisite handbag. I was surprised when your video generated that same excitement in me about the Bellroy Lite Sling. I want one. I want to display it in my gorgeous handbag cabinet, and wear it with pride. Thanks.
This thing is great, it's honestly a pleasure to use, so simple yet functional. If you don't mind a big bucket or using pouches it's amazing. The weight is just perfect but it also feels really durable. My favorite sling was the Trakke Largo but that thing weights more than double compared to this sling and it's more bulky. The materials Trakke uses are simply amazing and top notch but they have a heritage waxed canvas tradition that is way heavier, but this is the complete opposite, feels modern and made with recycled materials, it's just great. I know the Trakke will last more but I'm using the Lite Sling way more because it's more functional sometimes and fits more styles. I just keep jumping to this sling without thinking and I have a lot of slings that I love. I believe this is becoming the go to EDC bag, I hope it lasts many years.
I have a bellroy sling bag and I think its very neat. I recently went on a bike ride and I use my bag to carry things I needed and I like how it just stayed on my back no sliding to my side or any issues. Now I would like to try out the venture sling. I say try out because if I'm not comfortable with the bag someone in my house will use it.
How secure is that magnetic connector? I was thinking of using the Sling Lite as a small camera bag but I’m worried that that connector would come undone easily, and end up damaging anything inside the bag.
Nice review, i've liked it. When you put something in the main compartment that touches the sides, does it impact the rest of the bag? I'm thinking of getting this to put in a switch OLED in a slim case and I think it's going to be a bit of a tight fit.
In videos and internet photos, the Ranger Green color looks deceptively light and vivid. I just purchased the Venture Sling 9L and was a little disappointed with how dark the color really is. More like a military green or very dark olive green 😔
I think this is a good in-between bag. Sling Mini was too small for carrying iPad Mini + other small things. And the larger Sling is competing with my backpack. This size is just right for everyday carry such as light down jacket, tablet and such.
Hey there I would recommend the Bellroy Venture Sling 10L. It would a “just nice” fit for this lense and camera setup. You can check out our video here ua-cam.com/video/1SxOuUFN6Bs/v-deo.html
I think if you get the bag in chalk color, you will need to care for it a bit more. Regular wiping down and remove stains will definitely help. So far this bag is still fairly new so we haven't yet had any experience with the color turning yellowish. Hope this helps.
HI sorry for the late reply. The Venture sling is not very packable as it is quite rigid unlike the LITE Sling. You can however pack it flat. They are however very different because Venture has a more robust material. Whereas LITE sling has a softer more light weight materiall making it easy to roll up and parkway.
@@ORIBAGSOfficial Thanks a lot for the feedback. This gives me food for thought. i think i will take a look a the belroy sling 6L and this sling (sling lite).. maybe Aer Day Sling 3 too. This is my short list ^^
Terbaeek. Very well describe and explained. Really love the Lite design and material. The price is also tempting. I've had a ton of questions as right now I'm searching for the right and suitable EDC sling bag for myself. Bellroy, Alpaka, or AER is on my shortlisted. Is it true the Lite sling is exposed to the rain as the water can slightly enter the inside compartment? Honestly, If nothing better, I would definitely go with Bellroy sling mini. Can u suggest which one is robust and more weather resistant between the Lite and Mini sling? The last question, I can't find the AER City Sling 2 on ur online store. Did u have it or if u don't, did u plan to get it? Looks like no local seller has this product.
Hey there! Thanks for watching! I would say that the Bellroy slings are not waterproof, instead the materials are all treated to be water resistant. So they are not exactly impenetrable by water. Under bad weather, I believe both slings would still get wet inside. The matter of which one suits you best I believe it would depend on the material. Lite sling is very light weight and flexible. The other slings have a more rigid exterior. As for you me last question on AER, yes we did carry it but it’s sold out. Definitely planning to order in more hopefully soon. Hope that answers your question!
@@ORIBAGSOfficial Really appreciate ur answer. Thank you. I'll make my purchase earlier next month. Hope u got the AER City Sling2 to arrive already. If not, I will go with Bellroy. Thanks again! 🙂🙏
I have the Lite Sling and I have been in heavy rain. No water has gone in even though there's the gaps at the end of the opening. However, it is definitely not waterproof, because waterproof means you can put in bucket of water and the inside will be wet. To me, the Lite Sling is very good in heavy rain weather, just don't submerge it.
@@IdhamIdris Hi, buddy. Thank you for sharing such valuable information regarding the Lite sling. Appreciate it so much. I also think it would do very well in the rain. I mean it's not that easy for the water to penetrate inside the bag, that's for sure. I just got the mini sling and the Note sleeve wallet at a very reasonable price that I really can't give it away. However, it's good to know about the Lite sling from the user itself. I can tell that u are really a good person. Thanks again! 🙂🙏
Such a great video! Thank you for comparing them all side by side, I needed the visual comparison.
So glad you found the video helpful. Thanks for watching.

Sounds like you found your go to sling bag!

Hahah good that you have a backup plan in case it's not right for you! Let us know how it goes.
Thanks!
No problem!
The comparison was so helpful for me. Thank you.
Happy it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Do you think that a Leica Q3 and an Amazon Kindle Paperwhite can fit in the Bellroy Lite Sling mini?
Not sure about the Q3 but the Kindle definitely can because I use a PaperWhite too in my lite sling mini.
How secure is that magnetic connector? I was thinking of using the Sling Lite as a small camera bag but I’m worried that that connector would come undone easily, and end up damaging anything inside the bag.
Hi there, so far we haven't received any complaints about the magnetic buckle coming off.
Nice review, i've liked it. When you put something in the main compartment that touches the sides, does it impact the rest of the bag? I'm thinking of getting this to put in a switch OLED in a slim case and I think it's going to be a bit of a tight fit.
Which would you say is more smaller and comfortable to carry? The sling lite or the venture 7L
Definitely the lite sling for me. Cause it is so lightweight
@@ORIBAGSOfficial does the lite sling have more space than the venture sling?
That book! Brilliant 😂 I’m all for getting shit done 👍🏻 Great video, thx for the comparison 🙂
LOL! I do get a lot of comments on that book. My favourite prop. But hey, thanks for watching!

Agree this is a great sling !
Great video. Very informative. Thank you!
We’re glad you like it!
wonderful review. may i ask which sling is suitable to carry a Sony mirrorless FF camera with a 24-70 lens?
Hey there I would recommend the Bellroy Venture Sling 10L. It would a “just nice” fit for this lense and camera setup. You can check out our video here ua-cam.com/video/1SxOuUFN6Bs/v-deo.html
@@ORIBAGSOfficial I find 10L too big. Will the 9L fit?
Can you do a comparison of Venture 6L with this please?
Alright … *taking notes*
Can it fit an ipad mini?
@@davidlerio1778 yes it shouldn’t be a problem
can you squeeze in the macbook air M1?
Haha nope that’s not gonna fit
Hi, I wonder if the strap of the sling is adjustable?
Hey there, absolutely it does. It extends out quite a bit You can sling it quite relaxed
Does the white color hold up to dirt for everyday use? Will it get yellowish over time?
I think if you get the bag in chalk color, you will need to care for it a bit more. Regular wiping down and remove stains will definitely help. So far this bag is still fairly new so we haven't yet had any experience with the color turning yellowish. Hope this helps.
Does it turn yellowish?
How many liters is the water bottle? Great vid
Hey thanks for watching! The bottle is 500ml. Hope that helps!
I wonder if that A5 memo bottle can fit in this sling? Can you enlighten us?thanks
Hey there, nope A5 definitely can't fit in here. The A6 and A7 would do perfectly.
Can it be worn as waist bag?
This is best worn as a sling
Please let me know the price in Indian rupees of the beltoy light Jayakumar Chennai India.
Hey Bro, I think you check that out from Bellroy's website. Bellroy.com
Is the Lite any less water resistant than the Venture? And how packable is the Venture?

They are however very different because Venture has a more robust material. Whereas LITE sling has a softer more light weight materiall making it easy to roll up and parkway.
Can it fit an ipad air 5th gen?
does the sling lite carry a oled Nintendo switch?
I believe it can. But the bag doesn't have any padded compartments for your device.
when is the new stock coming?
We just restocked. Hurry! It's limited qty.
Does your notebook (A5 size i think) can fit in the Bellroy Sling mini?
Hi there, and A5 won’t fit into the sling mini. A6 works fine but a bit tight.
@@ORIBAGSOfficial Thanks for the answer :)
Did you test the Aer Day Sling?
@@greg7371 We don’t have the AER Day Sling on hand but I believe an A5 won’t fit …only an A6 size may fit in it
@@ORIBAGSOfficial Thanks a lot for the feedback. This gives me food for thought.

Awesome informative video! Support local!
Terima Kasihhhhhhhh

Thanks
Nice🤝
Thanks 🔥
Cool garbage bag
As a guy, this slings look a lot like women's purse. Is there anything more manly, besides of just using your pant's pockets?
You could consider other brands like Alpaka, Evergoods, Nomatic or Code Of Bell.
As a guy, your line sounds like you are broke and can't afford one LMAO
Dude, it's a purse.
EDC: Cobra 125, SAK Camper, Nitecore Tiki, Nitecore NWS10, Rolling Square InCharge X
sound is on the left ear louder wtf
