First Look | Bellroy Lite Collection
…inion, is the star of the show. It takes cues from its larger brother, the Venture Sling, and turns it into a killer lightweight daily and travel bag. Like the rest of the collection, it packs down to a negligible size; meaning it’s easy to stuff in your travel bag or daypack. The front pocket is simple, with two slip pockets and a hi-viz key leash. On one side, it easily stores a car key and slim wallet, and on the other some earbuds and a small…
Ally Capellino Fin Waxed Cotton Backpack Review
…ance, or water-resistant zippers, this bag is likely not for you. I’d even venture to say that you may want to avoid this for travel; not that it won’t work, but there are likely better options for that use case.

Shimoda Explore V2 Review
…something that I did not think was possible; their harness system. I will venture to say that the harness on the Shimoda bags is one of the most comfortable and well thought out in the industry.
