Bellroy
Venture Ready Sling 6L
Best everyday carry for minimalists needing versatile, weather-resistant storage.
Downsize from a backpack and switch to the sleek, lightweight Venture Sling 6L. It’s got plenty of room for everything you need for a full day, from packable rain jackets to water bottles and point-and-shoots. A lined pocket keeps your phone or sunglasses safe, while a zippered front pocket offers a space to stash your keys. And you won’t have to worry about a little rain or a rugged trek, thanks to the lightweight and water-resistant Recycled Dura Weave fabric. The self-compressing gusset shrinks down when the bag isn’t full, and the padded back and bottom protect against bumps.
