Like the way you make this vlog, show product's pros & cons, and smart way to talk another interesting things (retro handheld game, final fantasy vii...)
I’m loving this new way of how you shoot your videos, more conversational👍🏼 I’ve been thinking about getting a bellroy sling, but when I was trying it out on a store I’m realizing I really want a pouch/sling hybrid that I can just chuck into my bag.
Purchased this bag hoping it would be amazing. The strap is not great. When transferring from the back to front position on your body, extra fabric by the clip folds over making it catch on your clothing. Additional the clip that holds the excess length of strap is useless and doesn’t stay in place. It’s a small bag, why is the strap so over built with padding?
I really love the look of this bag……but yah the strap it’s a bit to much 😂 an handle to grab an handle ? I also think they should have went with a blacked out heart and arrow logo instead of the Carryology x Bellroy. Either way it’s a nice looking bag.
Glad I'm not the only one that has an issue with the clip that holds the strap. It's pretty bad for a sling that was so expensive. The strap falls out of it so easily.
24:08 I think the small handle on the shoulder strap, which makes changing the orientation of the bag easy, could also help prevent the accidental opening of the fidlock buckle, as you mentioned earlier in the video. It appears the loop is large enough to operate even with gloves on.
Thank you for your review. We were able to get our hands on sling. Appreciate you. We also picked up an Alpaka as well. Your pack out really shows the potential of how we can use the bag. What are your 2.5 l EDC’s?
Liking this Giveaway contest method! kinda like a fun quiz/treasure hunt game; and hopefully the bag does go to a baglover instead of a scalper/flipper! 🕵
I agree with a lot of your criticisms of the bag. I do not like that “water trough” on the outer pocket, where I live it can rain a bit and water will absolutely collect there. I was also quite shocked at how “open” the main compartment of the bag is to the elements. I understand it is necessary for the self compression and 2 way zipper to work, it is just surprising is all. I do love the materials and build quality is top notch. I agree though. This bag is in a weird spot. It is either too big or too small in my opinion. But like you said I’ll probably just end up using it as a personal item for the plane.
My favorite upgrade on this is the strap and choice of connector. I hope Bellroy decides to update their venture sling line with the same changes. I have all three sizes of their existing ones, but the strap and the fidlock connector aren't ideal. I use the 2.5 liter sling every day, but when I put my backpack on, it frequently unbuckles.
Hmm, you did not manage to completely clean off the white spots right? I saw that the smaller ones are gone, but there seems to be one bigger white spot remaining? Asking this from the perspective of material longevity.. Also, love your videos. The negatives are articulated perfectly. The rain gutter does feel weird but i guess (?) its part of their characteristic? Haha. The auto-compression does make accessibility tight (i have a lite sling 7L and venture sling 9L), thus i felt that the 9L would have been a better choice for this, althou i know the increase in size would probably make you scream haha! Lovely editing, great presentation of content. Top top top EDC channel as always!
Thank you very much for the positive feedback. Yes, I got rid of 90% of the spots without using a wet cloth. There is still one spot but I haven't tried a wet cloth because I felt that it might get rid soon.
It seems that the fabric is prone to attract any powdery dust, especially lighter colour like white. I have started noticing similar white spots on my bag. I think if we use the bag in a more rugged setting, the white spots will be more noticeable
Thank you for the PSA on the leak potential with this bag. It seems to me like they don’t want to make too many design changes out of cost, which seems stubborn to me as a consumer. I think I’ll look elsewhere for a sling. This bag has a lot of potential, but they decided to do a carryology limited run which is absurd.
The strap looks comfortable but the padded area is not central so it sits correctly on the shoulder. But then what happens if you move the sling to your front? Is the padded area then not on your shoulder? Does that make sense? 😅
Great Vid. Would you say this sling is attachable from the sling loops to, let’s say a GR1, with carabiners? Didn’t know if width was just a tad too large.
Thanks for watching. Interesting idea. In theory the two loops onto which the shoulder strap is attached could also be used to attach it via carabiners to a bag. But I think it would flop up and down too much while walking
I signed up for this bag but when i get my turn looking at the price was insane that i had to pull out, no way i’m spending $200+ for a sling bag. I’ll just stick to my alpaka sling
I think they should have used the heart and arrow logo on the front and keep it more simple. That checker board pattern on the front leather with the logo writing on it gives it a childish/juvenile look.
I picked up the Bellroy Hip Pack because of your recommendation and I love it. Use it daily. I did order this collab tho…. Looking forward to checking it out but it’s way bigger than I need for a daily. [spelling edit]
This isn't related to the bag in question, as I think this is one of the first of their design evolution that I wanted since a long time. I have my thoughts on them as a team that isn't fully positive, let's leave it at that lol. Anyway, I want to know how much you use the full size inner screen of the Fold 5, and how is it holding up?
Thanks for watching and commenting. I love my fold5. I actually use both screens a lot. Small screen for messaging like WhatsApp or Google maps. Big screen for emails , journaling, photo edit, document work and more. It's an amazing workhorse
super Review, Danke dafür! I nearly got it but decided I get rather a bellboy lite on discount as I need a sling what I can fold small and light for one bag travel and the Chimera is too stiff/huge. Anyway great sling and great fun video
I won’t be entering the giveaway I’ve got the 9l venture sling and it serves me right for when I need a larger sling. When I got it the 6l venture hasn’t dropped yet otherwise I would’ve gotten that instead. I am however jealous of the hidden back pocket/compartment on this carryology version of the 6l
Sort of, 2 pockets and one very short pen sleve on back of venture compartment vs zippered mesh pocket and two small clip sleeves on Chimera. On the other hand Chimera has an outer back zippered pocket…
I honestly love your reviews and perspective about sling/bags and also enjoy talks with Aaron you do. But one thing i have to critique is aproach to water resistance in slings. And its something that is aplicable to almost all reviewers. I feel this insisting on wateresisting, pointing waterproof zippers as a must have feature, is driving the market in wrong direction. Almost every manufacturer includes them now as if we all live in a rainforest 😂 Realisticaly your audience is urban dwelers who have umbrelas or a posibility to hide from the rain… I currently have bellroy venture sling 6l and don’t zip the zippers at all becouse they are unquestionably harder to zip than normal zippers that are not water resistant. I’ve had more than 10 slings up untill now and they all had normal zippers and were much much more user frendly in context of opening with one hand. I understand your argument about biking in the rain but that is such a limited use case and I would opt for a specific sling/bag in that circemstances and have a “normal” sling for other situations. I have a feeling that water resistant zippers are more now a marketing tool for companys which hinders usability, than actual impruvement of use… Just to be clear I was cought in a rain multiple times over the years with my slings and never ever was the normal zipper a pathway for the water to come in… Rain also never came in a slig becouse I don’t live in a rainforest and I have option of taking un ambrella, raincoat, entering a bar and waiting for it to stop, enter a shop, ordering uber, boarding a city train etc. etc. All this waterresistance for me is a gimick that hinders usability. And those gaps on the side of reviewed slings zipps unable it to open wide and fit cameras, waterbottles, edc more easily for example… much more useful than protecting me from standing in a rain for an hour and being surprised that I’m wet along with my belongings 🤣 All in all a sugestion and a friendly reminder that as a reviewer you influence customers and market 🤗 As a comic relief at the end and a side note, not having water resistant zips was not a negative for your selection of elegant (business) slings… cant I be cought in a rain while in a suit 🤣🤣
Some fair points you have, but when it comes down to any carryology collab, it is expected for them to go all out on as many features as they can, and a no brainer would be water resistant YKK zippers over regular ones
I understand what you mean but again same types of zippers are on regular bellroys, even hip pack that Bo mentioned, and waterresistant zippers have become un industry standard for a good sling… thats my problem 😅 A side not, if colab went all in on materials, why not include magnetic key ring like black amber does 😉 again a much better quality of use improvement than a sticky waterresistant zipper
Thank you very much for your constructive feedback. I totally understand what your saying and also my position as a reviewer. I get that aqua guard zippers might not be that important in all areas of the world. But considering the prices and values of most of the bags that we review and how much more expensive the items that we put inside have become, it is important for me to mention all of the choices of materials. The furthermore to cover all my bases. Because if I won't mention a specific part of a bag (in this example a aqua guard zipper) I am pretty sure at least one viewer will comment on that. The cool thing about bags is that it really emphasizes how we all have different needs for what a bag needs to bring to the table. Different packing styles, different climates and therefore different needs of choices of materials. So I guess brands want to cover as many needs as possible. So while not everyone might need aqua guard zippers, there sure are a lot of customers who really want them. Thanks again for your constructive feedback. And for watching ✌️
@@Youknowthebo thank you for your warm respone and I totaly agree with everything you said… its of most importance to mentiony all aspects of your expirience with the sling and all its features. Just to make my position more clear, I think that water resistance should be viewed as an added feature that some my appriciate and not as a general point for positive or negative grade for all slings 🤗 I acctualy am looking at getting alpaka waterproof sling at the moment becouse I want a safe hip bag to put my camera when I’m at sea with my 2 year old gremlin 🤭 but I wouldn’t look at its lack of internal organisation as a negative… its specific usecase sling not everyday one and it cant dream of replacing my venture sling😉
Why a 30 minute review of a bag that was sold out rather shortly after being announced? All those extremely limited Carryology are rather annoying, in my opinion.
it lasted quite a while and i've never seen anyone miss the drop if they were there at drop time. Plus, multiple distributors would be dropping it on their end too over the next few days.
I get your point about the long video. I honestly did not plan to do a video this long, but since I try these vlog style videos in which I just speak off the cuff these videos become way longer 😅 I still try to find a good balance of having a casual vlog style with lots of information in an hope entertaining way, while not making the video way too long. It's a learning process 😅
@@Youknowthebo it's not the long video per se. I like the video. I just am not sure, why a video of this length/ depth is necessary for an audience of thousands of people, that will never be able to buy the product you are talking about 😀. For almost everyone watching the video in the future, its content is pointless.
@@MyDeimudder totally understandable. 😅 But that is why I hoped the alternative bag in the description might be helpful in the future. But I totally understand what you're saying, which is why I was surprised how long the video turned out in the edit 😂
Also, when in a waterfight, people could shoot in that corner at the end and water could get in. My stuff goes in a kriega bag on my motorcycle. Nothing with straps around my body while riding. Dangerous AF.
Can't deny that 😂 but to be fair: if you'd be in the same water fight with most other slingbags there would not be a gap into the main compartment and you contents would stay dry. In other words, to do a fair review I had to mention that flaw / tradeoff. And in terms of motorcycle riding. I also can't deny your logic. It's definitely something I have been thinking about and I might rather wear it like a fanny pack and not a slingbag to reduce the risk a bit
@@Youknowtheboyou are right, I just found it funny how specific the example was rather than that there is an opening so water could get in. So I thought I'd help with possible situations xd. As a fanny pack it would probably be ok for me as well.
@@Youknowthebo"a what bag would keep your stuff dry in a waterfight" test. I think many of us have this question when shopping for a bag. I would watch it :D A triumph tiger 800 xcx I came from sportier stuff, but my wrist was no longer happy with it. And with commuting long parts on the highway a naked bike is too exhausting. Ended up really liking this bike. Missing some HP sometimes though.
I get your point, but to be fair: there is a huge difference between your eyes and a Camera. Just because a camera with only window light to illuminate the scene does not have enough dynamic range to show the interior and therefore I use a flashlight to brighten the scene, does not mean that your eyes can't see what's inside the bag. If I would have used my soft box to light the bag from above opposed to the window from the side, I wouldn't have needed the flashlight. So I am at fault that the interior is shown this dark in the video
@Youknowthebo I didn't consider the camera being darker, and I am glad you mentioned it. As I get older, I appreciate higher visibility interior materials.
@@michaelmartin2262 no problem. I totally understand that the details of film making isn't known by everyone. And I am the same as you: I prefer bright interior lining in bags
This size is weird, too large for a normal use, too small to hold a laptop, this is usable just by (very few and lucky) photographers really, content creators probably.
I just don't get the idea behind a sling bag. I never see these in NYC. Its like a giant fanny pack from the 80s. I personally think they look terrible.
I didn't either in the beginning. But from a utilitarian standpoint they are a great tool: for me carrying a camera has become a must. Or since having a bigger phone and wanting my pants pockets empty. Just for those two reasons alone the slingbag is a great bag. Furthermore, for flights and keeping your valuables close they are a great recommendation. That being said, I get what you are saying in terms of looks, which is why I prefer smaller ones. But also I feel it is also different depending on the country. In Germany slingbags are very popular.

Ended up really liking this bike. Missing some HP sometimes though.
Great video BoKlamhoma
😂 thank you very much
Too bad it costs $500cad
If you need a flashlight to see your stuff in your bag, then thumbs down for the price point.
I get your point, but to be fair: there is a huge difference between your eyes and a Camera. Just because a camera with only window light to illuminate the scene does not have enough dynamic range to show the interior and therefore I use a flashlight to brighten the scene, does not mean that your eyes can't see what's inside the bag. If I would have used my soft box to light the bag from above opposed to the window from the side, I wouldn't have needed the flashlight. So I am at fault that the interior is shown this dark in the video
@Youknowthebo I didn't consider the camera being darker, and I am glad you mentioned it. As I get older, I appreciate higher visibility interior materials.
@@michaelmartin2262 no problem. I totally understand that the details of film making isn't known by everyone. And I am the same as you: I prefer bright interior lining in bags
This size is weird, too large for a normal use, too small to hold a laptop, this is usable just by (very few and lucky) photographers really, content creators probably.
No it’s not. A laptop? Dude it’s a sling. It’s meant to carry smaller essentials, not entire work setups.
Sling bag not a messenger.
@@James-zy4nc smaller essentials? Dude this is huge for that, it looks more like a man's purse
The front patch is ugly
I just don't get the idea behind a sling bag. I never see these in NYC. Its like a giant fanny pack from the 80s. I personally think they look terrible.
I didn't either in the beginning. But from a utilitarian standpoint they are a great tool: for me carrying a camera has become a must. Or since having a bigger phone and wanting my pants pockets empty. Just for those two reasons alone the slingbag is a great bag. Furthermore, for flights and keeping your valuables close they are a great recommendation.
That being said, I get what you are saying in terms of looks, which is why I prefer smaller ones. But also I feel it is also different depending on the country. In Germany slingbags are very popular.
They are quite common in Europe and Japan from what I have seen.
Really? I live in NYC, and use a sling, and I see plenty of others using them.
Um, that’s a lady’s purse.
