Bellroy Lite Duffel 40L review

The Lite Duffel is the pick for packers who count grams. Bellroy lists the 40L version at 515 g, less than half the weight of the Eagle Creek and Herschel bags, in a compressible Dura Lite nylon that is 80% recycled and folds or rolls for storage. The water-resistant YKK zipper opens from each end for wide access, and a reinforced rim keeps the opening stable while you zip. Organization covers an external zip compartment with slip pockets and a key clip, internal slip pockets, cap pockets at each end, and a label that doubles as an Apple AirTag pocket. The padded shoulder strap adjusts and detaches. Bellroy covers faults in materials and workmanship for six years. Our location only showed euro pricing, so the USD price is pending and the value score is conservative. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test the bag.
