Reasons to buy

  • Comfortable to use even when in full capacity.
  • Top-notch organization and layout throughout the bag.
  • Excellent construction. Quality and recyclable materials are used in creating this bag.
  • The tech compartment is raised and padded well so you know that your gadgets are truly protected.

Things to consider

  • The quick external pocket is a bit small.
  • The curved back panel doesn't work for everyone.
  • The horizontal organization in the front pocket is kind of awkward to use.

What reviewers said

  • "Bellroy transit 28l is a perfect balance of functionality, durability, easiness to handle and great design. If you are traveling for an extended weekend, or you are a minimalist tech nomad, this will fit perfect from under the seat of your plane straight to the closest coffee shop - with no need to go to the hotel to unload."
  • "This backpack is great! I love the quality of the material. My favorite part of the bag is all of the pockets. It’s great for travel. It works as either a quick overnight bag or is a great flight companion. It fits under the seat of the airplane."

BELLROY TRANSIT: REVIEW
theperfectpack.com
The Bellroy Transit has been one of the most pleasant travel packs I’ve ever tested out. It looks good, it’s built well, it’s not too large, it has pockets in most of the right places, and it’s comfortable...I’ve already used the Transit for presenting at a conference, hauling four packs of beer around Queens, NY, and everything in between. And unlike many other travel packs, it never looked out of place.

I highly recommend the Bellroy Transit Backpack for light, one-bag travel, and I don’t use that phrase often in my reviews. It definitely is a contender with the Minaal Carry-on 2.0 for my favorite all-around travel backpack.
