appreciate that! We work very hard on our reviews so it's great to know they are delivering value :)

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.

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.

Got me a venture ready backpack 26L for outdoor hikes and airplane trips (as my carry on bag). Also got the venture duffle 40l for gym. And thinking of adding this sling plus the toiletry bag to my collection. I think I’m a bit of bag nerd lol. Only thing I’m displeased about bellroy is, I don’t seem to find which material is the bag made of, like you mentioned each color is different material, and there’s a link to show you all their materials but the bag itself won’t say based on the color. Not sure if I’m missing it.

Nice review! I really like this sling too and agree with most of your points. I'm kind of bummed that the blue one (that I got) has more of a seatbelt style strap which is a little stiff and less comfortable than the woven straps that come on the other colors. For the zip pulls, one trick is to tuck them into the loops on either side of the bag - they are long and chunky enough to pretty much stay put there while wearing the bag.

This is my favorite sling too. But I keep my phone in the back pocket and don't even zip it closed, for quickest access. My wallet goes in the main compartment, cause months can go by w/o me ever opening it; I pay for everything with my watch so I don't need my cards, I never have any cash (I use maybe $100 worth of cash/year) so I end up going inside just for my drivers license when I happen to get stopped by police. Even calling it a wallet is a stretch - it's the smallest/flattest one zipper pouch I could find and I keep my drivers license and one card (for emergency cash) inside. I also don't use the sunglasses pocket for sunglasses. I have ROAVs that pack super compact in their own rubber caseand that pocket gets all my tiny items, like telescopic pen, tiny flashlight, lighter, so they don't go to the bottom and make me "dig" for them. Oh and I wish they had given the same strap that the others get to the blue one too, cause it has a more seatbelt like material, which isn't bad per se, but it's also very stiff. But I have to deal with it, cause I hate the green and orange ones and I didn't want a 3rd black sling...

I have this sling on the bronze! I love the material.

I've never had a sling before, but do you think they take some getting used to? I'm thinking about returning it but I think it's such a cool piece of gear that I want to love.

@@Nomads.Nation Yeah, it might just be that I'm not used to it. It does seem like most people think it's extremely comfortable - could also be that my expectations were too high in terms of comfort though. I got the bronze one which looks great but the material is not as tactile and nice to interact with as it is with the black/navy versions. It also feels like it slides around a little bit more when I'm wearing it because of the smooth material. All that said, I think I worked out a great sling alternative for me. I also have the 1.5l black Venture Pouch that you reviewed the other day. I attached my Peak Design slide strap to it that I wasn't using for my camera much and now I have a secure sling that I can easily disassemble and turn into a pouch for my tech etc. when I have my backpack with me. I took it hiking the other day and it didn't get in the way or feel like there was any unnecessary bulk. It works like a dream and I love the modularity of it. I know it's not really an option for people because the strap is expensive on its own so I was lucky I already owned it.

I got mine today and it does fit but its a very tight fit. Without a case it can go into the tech sleeve compartment. With the Smart Folio case it can fit but in but not really in the tech sleeve. Either way you have to push it under the zipper to really close it and it takes up all the space pretty much as its forcing the bag to stay thin. I tested this with a passport and thin wallet in the back zipper. I've also tested the "Bellroy Sling Mini" and it does fit but its pretty much the same scenario/outcome. If you don't want a big sling. The iPad Mini 6 does fit in the "Bellroy Lite Sling Mini" a lot better as its a bit taller of a bag but keeps the same small form factor.

I absolutely love this sling, but I would be so concerned about that magnetic (less secure) clasp and the possibility of theft (someone ripping it right off me). 😬

I just feel like if a thief is that determined to steal you sling then nothing will stop them - a stronger buckle included

​@@Nomads.Nation Wouldn't a dangle stopper elastic loop that can be slid over the magnetic clasp be the perfect solution to prevent theft? It would be always available when required in such situations and easy to get out of the way when not required. Possibly incorporate into the Fyro Sling?

Looks like a pretty good sling overall. Nice size and rugged materials. But that glossy zippers look awful tbh and are the deal breaker for me. Don't know who approved that design decision... if they come up with a v2 without that flaw I'll get one fo sho.

Why does bellroy make such nice bags, only to destroy it with their logo smack in the middle which kills the streamline look...

Most of these brands do, good news though is that these letter have a tendency to fall off so it should be unbranded in about a year or so lol

I think one con (at least for me personally) is there is no handle. When it's not on your body, handles come handy. Handling the bag with the strap works but is not ideal.

Why do sling bags even have clasps? They are completely unnecessary.

Interesting point, but I do love the convenience of being able to unbuckle it to take it off (especially with a magnetic clip)

This magnet hardware is far from secure = the major flaw of the sling actually… ((( In my experience, some accidental bumps while you're wearing your sling loaded with some valuable stuff in the crowd rush could lead to unlocking magnet hardware and the bag fall down = hapenbed at least twice with me already, could not trust it afterwards!!!! ((( To give you more details - when somebody in the crowd not intentionally bump on rhe magnet area to the direction where you unlock it intentionally - it will unlock!!! And these kicks and bumps are possible in the crowdy surroundung...

so I've been wearing this sling for months now and while I see what you are saying it's possible, it's literally never happened to me ONCE

​​​​@@Nomads.Nation I believe I was unlucky enough in the crowd once, where from one side somebody pushed me while from the opposite side there was an accidental bump on the magnet area = it happens rarely in the rush hour in the subway full of people where you just cannot escape dense body contact from all sides around you... The second time I was playing with my own kids outside, and the effect was exactly the same = dense physical contact when I hold my 3 years old son on my hands so his legs or body pushes the strap of the sling against my body while my 7 years old daughter staying close to me accidentally hits me slightly within interaction in the magnet area on the same strap and boom = magnet unlocked and sling is falling! Thus, it depends on your lifestyle = try kids or cats maybe and you see how it happens )))

@Nomads.Nation that question is my current pursuit, so far with all the slings I reviewed, the options I can I think of is 1) personally modify the sling based desired specs such as replace and relocate the buckles or allow local bag maker to do it. 2) look for manufacturer where they accepts a bit of customization.
