Nice comparison. I own the Bellroy 9L, I agree that a carry handle would be nice, but if you want to just grab it, go to either end and just grab the strap, BINGO, carry handle. I do love the bag!
I'll be visiting San Francisco with my family soon and decided to pick up a bag for my EDC. I decided to pick up the Aer Day Sling as I really loved the look of the bag. And seeing as I didn't need anything too big, I figured that would be a good choice. However when the time comes for me to get something bigger, I think the Bellroy would be the way to go. I don't know, the Aer Day Sling Max seems too confining. If I were to go larger, I think the Bellroy is the better choice.
Compared to other review video's, yours by far is the best. What I like is the fact that you compared two bags that I have been contemplating in getting. I also like that you showed all the compartments of both bags and shared your experience with both bags. From your review I think the Bellroy is a better fit.
Great comparison! I was trying to decide between these 2 bags and this video helped a lot. I think I’m going to go with the Bellroy for the aesthetics and compression feature.
Hey what a great comparison!! Love the video! Got theBellroy and absolutely love it! Just wanted to add to your fantastic video that the Bellroy actually have... TWO... Handles!! One in each end😉 Take care and have a super duper day!!!
If you're that concerned about glasses put them in a case for crying out loud. I don't like the gaps in the main compartment of the bellroy when zipped - too easy to lose small items or get water etc in the bag. What I would miss is the easy sling release of bellroy, but prefer everything else on the Aer.
I firstly bought the Bellroy one since it's hard to buy the Aer one in Mainland. However it's difficult to take my iPad 11 with its case. Going to order an Aer Day 3
Fantastic comparison! I was torn between these two and this was exactly what I needed. Tons of details that hadn't even occurred to me to consider. Thanks!
The bellroy - mostly because after watching this video, I remembered that in the past, Iused the strap adjustment much more than buckles to put on and take off bags like this. Personally, I like the look of the bellroy a little more, too. The 20% reduction in weight is a big plus too.
@@dustingrant4557 Yeah, I bulkiness of the Aer isn't for me either. Almost a bit turtle like. It's a shame that Bellroy's internal organisation is lacking. And their camera 10l version didn't fix that.
The Alpaka Bravo Sling Pro is far better value IMHO and fits 11” iPad Pro with keyboard case. Three compartments and the rear compartment is RFID lined. Got mine for $70.
Bit confused at the Aer part where you say it doesn’t fit an iPad. It fits my iPad 11’ with Magic Keyboard and AirPods Max and a bottle and my tech kit, so I’m not sure what you are referring to at that part!
Great comparison, have you ever considered reviewing the TNF Caban 2.0? There is almost no coverage of it on YT and it would help people en the edge of buying.
I’m presuming you were comparing the 6L versions of both bags? Your comments re the differences and how they worked for you were also VERY handy. Well done!
The Aer has quite a few more features (especially the back pocket), but the Bellroy is a lot more aesthetically pleasing (despite this one not being up to their usual standards) while still being very useful.
@@troigrlBellroy looks like a full-fledged bag. And this has the shape of a belt bag, it even has a zipper on its side, as in the belt of the bag. For Europe, Bellroy is better, because no one wears belt bags on his shoulder, diagonally on his back
Hello Desy, hope you are well. I have a question for you that should help with my decision in choosing my next bag. Out of these slings and the Billingham Hadley Small Pro, which do you prefer as an everyday tech carry that can also fit a mirrorless camera with a prime lens attached? Would be awesome to hear your thoughts!
Do the aqua guard zippers loosen up over time? I just got an Aer bag in and the aqua guard zippers are very stiff where it takes quite a bit of effort to unzip them
I like both but I'm biased for the Aer Day Sling Max. I have the Day sling 2 and used it for a long time daily, love it. Now I have a Samsung Tab S8 and want something to carry it.
Hey me gusto mucho tu comparación! La verdad yo no buscaba compararla pero si ver que tanto puede caber con una Sony a7iv, aunque siempre la llevo con un lente pequeño como el del kit 28-70 o próximamente quiero el 16-35! Que tanto recomienda la Bell Roy para estos casos? Me gusto también que llevas un iPad y es parte de lo que yo quiero llevar en ocasiones! Vi una Bell Roy camera edition pero creo que le quita lo versátil y es más para solo transportar la cámara y esta para transportar la cámara cuando la ocupes
I have that iPad and I got the Aer for it. Happy with my choice. Fits a 500ml drink bottle as well as the iPad with plenty more room for smaller items and even a packable jacket as well.
If anyone is ordering the Bellroy, just choose the free shipping option which is (3-7days) I paid for the express shipping and now they say it’s gonna take 3 days to get here and not 2 days 🤣🤣🤣so don’t Make my mistake! Just do the free shipping. Oh, it also takes them about 2 days to packaged up your order 🥴 so make sure to add 2 days to your time frame. I hope they will have a vendor in the US here to make it easier and faster.
every brand / manufacturer has their own guidelines of how they measure volume. Your right I don't think the Bellroy is exactly 3L larger. But it just gives you a rough idea!
I suppose all the slings have the corner gap issue, i saw a purchased reviewer comment where he said that it didn’t matter much as long as you don’t keep tiny things in the main compartment and as for weather proofing it survived well.
I love the first person POV! Very helpful!

good choice!
oh and if u are local, im going to sell my bellroy 9L this week! i use my 6L much more!
@@DesmondCheng I’m getting mine through some work reward points that I accrued, but thank you! Good luck with the resell!
noice!@@FelixElGato105
thanks for this! just wanted to see how the venture fits different cams - was contemplating between this and the 10l
I have a Bellroy and I am in the middle way of considering buying a new Aer, thanks for your video, that would help me with making my decision :D
no problem, glad i could help!
@@DesmondCheng Aer is the no-brain choice!!! love it
Thank you for the water bottle size test! I wish you specified the exact size of the bottle (how many oz).
The Aer day sling 3 silhouette increased to 7L with the sunglasses pouch and straps on the Bellroy in x-pac would be endgame medium size sling for me

@@dustingrant4557 Didn't know the bellroy was lighter. Thanks for the tip! I'm also leaning towards getting the Bellroy.
@@tams805 The Aer does look kinda bulky. I do like the compressibility on the Bellroy.
I would choose bellroy over aer max. But if you want to bring iPad and be comfortable.. Aer tech sling is the better choice.
First person POV was great! Thanks
Nice review, that's what i want to know 7:25 🎉 12:20
glad i could help!
Dude, you would love the new 10L.

Will the X100v fit in any of the Bellroys" inside pocket? Great comparisson, thank you.
Do you think I could fit a weatherman travel umbrella 11.8” in the aer sling max?
Do the aqua guard zippers loosen up over time? I just got an Aer bag in and the aqua guard zippers are very stiff where it takes quite a bit of effort to unzip them
Thank you for the comparison! For me it's the Bellroy. But I haven't decided yet between the 6l or 9l version.
funny enough, my 6L just arrived yesterday! Will be doing a comparison soon =)
@@DesmondCheng Great! I'll wait til your comparison then.
I have the 9l. There isint much difference in the size with 6l.
I wish there's a female perspective. For the 6L max, I feel like there are other alternatives (female purse, or small backpack). Lol.
I hear you. I love slings and wear one every day. But the sling look is definitely not kind to large busted girls like me
@@misstubbie1313 big busted girl here too. Which sling do you use?
I like both but I'm biased for the Aer Day Sling Max. I have the Day sling 2 and used it for a long time daily, love it. Now I have a Samsung Tab S8 and want something to carry it.
Thanks mate. Great review.
Do you find the day sling 3 max slides around your body when loaded up, or does it stay in place?
Nice! Thanks for doing this comparison!
Hi Desy, can u compare Aer day Sling 3 max with alpaka bravo x Sling v2? Really like to see the result
Anyway love ur content ❤
if alpaka will send me that pack ill do it!
Can you review the new The Weekender from Langly 😁

Hello! Can both the ipad pro 11 inch and the Leica Q2/3 fit in the AER Day Sling 3 Max? Great vidoe thank you!
sorry for late reply, but yes both will fit!
Which bag is suitable for the 11-inch iPad pro?
I could fit an iPad air in my Bellroy... If that helps...
How about 12.9 inch?
Between these two, it's the sling 3 max
I have that iPad and I got the Aer for it. Happy with my choice. Fits a 500ml drink bottle as well as the iPad with plenty more room for smaller items and even a packable jacket as well.
My iPad Pro and my switch can fit in the Bellroy. Not sure how other people can’t fit their iPad
Will iPad Pro 11 in a keyboard case fit in a Bellroy? I know that it will in Aer for sure, as I own one)
unfortunately i dont have the 9L bellroy anymore, and i dont have an ipad pro 11 to test fit it!
If anyone is ordering the Bellroy, just choose the free shipping option which is (3-7days)
I paid for the express shipping and now they say it’s gonna take 3 days to get here and not 2 days 🤣🤣🤣so don’t
Make my mistake! Just do the free shipping.
Oh, it also takes them about 2 days to packaged up your order 🥴 so make sure to add 2 days to your time frame.
I hope they will have a vendor in the US here to make it easier and faster.
Just a heads up…the Bellroy Venture Sling 9L is available from Amazon with free two-day Prime shipping and free returns!
What size is your ipad
What's the name of the song and by whom at the end of the video?
Can this bellroy 9L fit iPad Pro 11 inch?
Yes but it’s in the main body of the body. No sleeve
Do you think this will fit a Samsung Tab S8 (254cm by 166cm)?
Sir! That is one huge tablet you have there!
How come they look roughly the same size with that 3L difference?
every brand / manufacturer has their own guidelines of how they measure volume. Your right I don't think the Bellroy is exactly 3L larger. But it just gives you a rough idea!
Can you review the Hydro Flask Slingback Bottle Pack? Haven't seen a single video out there on it
Hi! Do you know if the Bellroy 6L fit a water bottle standing up in the side pocket?
yes it will!
Odd choice of comparison when Bellroy has a Venture of 6L...
at the time thats all i had! i have the 6L now though
@@DesmondCheng what do you think Belroy 6l or 9l?
@@TomB-xk6lw I use the 6L wayyyyy more. I like the size!
Hi, did you have "corner gap issue" on bellroy sling?
I suppose all the slings have the corner gap issue, i saw a purchased reviewer comment where he said that it didn’t matter much as long as you don’t keep tiny things in the main compartment and as for weather proofing it survived well.
@@linavengton Thank you for reply.
hey yeah, it never bothered me!
Aer is too superior
finally even american dudes can use handbags ehrrm slings*!
Too much time spent on sunglasses; get a case for them and move on.
lol
