If you need to carry something as a part of your daily tasks, commute, travel, and pretty much every conceivable scenario for gear in and out of your pockets, Bellroy is likely to have a product for you. From wallets to tech cases to bags of every size, they’ve proven themselves time and time again to be a premium purveyor when it comes to everyday carry. Their latest collection—a Lite series of four styles—is both a refinement and evolution of their bagmaking know-how, streamlining and sustainably manufacturing some of their signature models. These are some of the best and lightest options yet for your next EDC.

True to their name, all the items in the Lite collection are constructed from a diamond-patterned ripstop fabric that’s three times lighter than the fabrics Bellroy traditionally uses. This fabric in particular is 100% made from recycled plastic bottles, giving the material inherent water resistance and durability while helping the environment in the process. Bellroy says it has one of the highest performances for hydrostatic pressure and water repellency among their fabrics, which helps keep dirt and grime off the bags—crucial if you go for the striking new Chalk colorways as well.

The lighter weight and resilience also make the bags ideal as a packable set of secondary carry options while traveling, and as forget-you’re-carrying-them options for a daily excursion or commute that hold up even in unpredictable weather.


Daypack and Sling

The Lite Daypack and Sling are likely the models to appeal most to EDCers. The Daypack excels as an all-around day bag, giving you 20L of space inside a sporty design with multiple organizational options, like a document sleeve and even a sunglasses pocket. Like the rest of the Lite collection you can fold or roll the Daypack into a much smaller size for travelling as a lighter option while sightseeing. Padded straps offer comfort while on the move, and a stretch bottle pocket and integrated bike light loop keeps you hydrated and secure.

The Lite Sling comes hot on the heels of the recent Venture Sling, offering a similar style and features in a smaller 7L package. The Lite Sling is a good option if you want to store your daily carry and free up most of your pocket space, but still want the ability to expand its storage should you need to run extra errands. The Lite Sling takes on a similar expanding gusset system as the Venture, which self-compresses as its strap gets pulled taut. Said strap comes with a magnetic clasp for easy removal, and a similar integrated bike light loop to help you stay identified in the dark.


Duffel  and Tote

The Lite Duffel and Tote offer roomier and specialized functionality when your routine takes a detour. The Duffel is a great option if you’re headed into the gym thanks to its spacious main compartment, where you can store spare clothes and even a spare pair of shoes. With 30L of capacity you can even use it as a smaller travel bag, perfect for a weekend getaway.

The Tote comes in handy whenever you need the extra vertical space but minimal bulk, like a grocery run or carrying folders and documents. With 15L of space and the familiar tote design there’s plenty flexibility for both work and play especially with its longer straps. Both bags can be rolled or folded into a smaller size for packing or transportation.


These ultra-light bags were specifically designed for “play,” keeping you light on your feet, giving you high functionality, and maintaining a sporty look. If you need a bag for the daily grind, a weekend excursion, or on your next vacation, the Bellroy Lite Collection won’t weigh you down. Check them out in two colorways at the link below.
