Bellroy “Transit” Backpack
Although at first glance it has a similar silhouette to their Via Backpack, instead of being made for everyday commuting, Bellroy’s Transit Backpack is intended more for quick trips out of town.
This is evident from the moment you open the 28-liter main compartment, which unzips all the way down for easy access to your stuff and has compression straps to keep it all in place, along with two mesh compartments along the flap for smaller necessities.
Behind that main compartment is a separate zippered 16″ padded laptop sleeve and another zipper pocket where you can stash a phone and charging stuff, both of which make it easier to get through airport checks.
You also have a few external-access scattered around for storing keys, sunglasses, a passport, a wallet, a water bottle, etc.
The Transit was made for comfort as well, which can be attributed to the padded shoulder straps, contoured foam back panel, and detachable sternum strap that can be slid up and down to best suit your chest shape.
Get the Bellroy Transit Backpack for $179 on Amazon in your choice of Nightsky, Black, or Ranger Green. If you’re planning on a slightly longer trip away, check out the 38-liter Transit Plus ($319).
