…s to fit whatever you’re carrying. When you’re carrying less, it slims the Venture down against your body. This same system exists on other Bellroy slings, and we think it’s great. The front slash pocket of the Venture has easy access for items like your wallet and keys, but the real magic is in the main compartment. Every wall has a pocket, and they stay out of the way when not in use. There’s a good mix of stretch, open-top, and zippered pockets…
