For a sling, the main compartment is its bread and butter, and there are some very important things you need to take into consideration with the Bellroy Sling’s main compartment.
#1 – It’s a good size
When flattened out it might not look like the Bellroy has much depth to it.
Wrongo!
The flattened look is merely a decoy – this sling can pack a good amound of gear!
Don’t get us wrong, this isn’t a backpack, so don’t expect that kind of space – but a water bottle, big batteries, notebook, and other electronics will be no problem.
#2 – There is only one pocket
The lack of pockets on this sling was clearly an intentional move.
Bellroy is making a statement with this sling. They are saying ‘chill with the pockets bro!’.
Plus it makes it easier to add bulkier items such as a water bottle or a cool travel camera.
#3 – Access can be challenging
While the sling clocks in at 14 inches, the main compartment only zips open to around 9 1/2 inches.
This means that the inside of the sling is not always easily accessible, which can be really annoying.
