Review on Bellroy Mini Sling Bag (Slim Crossbody Bag For Men by Kathleen Ledoux

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The material is too coarse, the size is a little small for a large iPhone and Ray-Ban sunglasses in one case

The idea was good, the strap turned backwards acts as a compression strap and automatically reduces the volume of the backpack. The size looked about right so I ordered it. The material was rough, uncomfortable to handle. He scratched my clothes. If the material of the bag is unwieldy, I don't use it and the bag takes up space in my closet. Size was another issue: I can fit my iPhone 11 Pro Max and Ray-Ban sunglasses in the bag, but when I hung the backpack around my shoulders or waist, the strap automatically made it smaller. The Ray-Ban sunglasses case is made from soft leather with only one hard side for protection, so my sunglasses were squeezed in such a way that one of the temples got caught on my nose - it was difficult for me to detach the temple as I was afraid damaging the sunglasses. Hard cases may be a better match for this backpack, but the Oakley cases I have are too big to fit; Otherwise they would create unsightly bulges that would ruin the streamlined appearance of the pack. In product and review videos, the looped back straps looked fine, but during use the strap dangled sideways - it was held in place by a D-ring at the front of the pack, but the pack dangled uncomfortably. When I moved, the backpack sometimes flapped horizontally. I think another pair of D-rings on the back of the pack for attaching the strap would improve the concept of the strap. I have returned this item.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
