Bellroy Venture Ready Sling 2.5L Review
The Venture Sling 2.5L is one of my fav sized slings. Excellent external material with durability and texture. Killer organization with Bellroy’s signature elevated interiors. Magnetic strap clip is an excellent finishing touch.
More on the Bellroy Venture Ready Sling 2.5L
What I like
- One of my favorite slings, and one of my favorite sizes.
- Rugged externals: Bellroy's nylon with some ripstop, plus glossy water-sealed zips.
- Bellroy's signature organization inside: padded phone divider, stretch mesh for glasses, a pocket with a separator.
- Front pocket split in two with a key clip, plus a hidden back pocket that sits against your back.
- Works great as a waist bag too. Looks like a little hip pouch when it's on.
- I can fit my notebook in it pretty well.
Watch for
- Slit-style opening, not a bucket opening.
- On my older one the strap keeper is just a piece of elastic, which would come off or get floppy. Newer ones may be updated.
- Comes in two sizes. I ended up carrying the smaller one more.
