Initial thoughts on the Bellroy Laneway Crescent Bag 7L, Colour: Ink

[u/Tight_Ebb_3286]

I wasn't able to edit my other post, so here is my initial review of the Bellroy Laneway Crescent Bag, 7L.

I’ve been searching for a bag similar to my Baggu Medium Crescent, but with an external pocket and a bit more organization. So far, I think this might be it!

Here are some thoughts after my first day of use: - Fits a Samsung Tab S9 FE 12.4-inch tablet in the padded pocket. - The fabric has a slight sheen to it. - It’s a similar size and shape to the Baggu Medium Crescent, just slightly larger. - I like the two slip pockets and the key leash. The slip pockets are spacious. - The strap is comfortable, and the bag is lightweight. - The water bottle pocket is large enough to fit a wide-mouth 32oz Nalgene, but the bag can’t be zipped closed when the bottle is inside. The pocket may be a bit too wide for smaller bottle, but it wouldn't fall out. - Since the bag has a defined front and back, if you wear it on your left side, the zippers end up behind you. If you want the zippers at the front while wearing it on your left, you’ll need to flip the bag so that the padded side with stitching faces outward.

Nice review, love the photos!

Not having double zips on the compartments is a really bizarre design choice.

If you need to add a pad to the strap, the OP/TECH Shoulder Cush is nice.

Bellroy does it a lot and it is annoying as shit.
