TravelonAnti-Theft Classic Travel Bag

This is the second of these Travelon bags that I've gotten. It fits all travel necessities, including a tablet, has RFID shielding, an anti-theft strap, and clips on all zippers. It's lightweight, but durable. Love it! Good value for the money.

I ordered a couple of Travelon's until I found the size that suits my purposes for traveling. This bag is not too small or big. Fits passport, small RFID wallet that holds about 5 cards, phone (14 pro) car/house keys which can attach on the inside of the bag for added security, small day/night meds holder, single tissue pack, and two sets of glasses in their glass cases. I put one of the cases in the space where a water bottle is supposed to fit though I don't see that happening. And really, I could have crammed the bag with more things but I despise carrying around things really are not necessary. The bag is not too heavy to wear cross shoulder (added security).Security wise, I love this bag. I love that the zippers "lock" in place to prevent sneaky thieves from getting into it. I love that the strap can't be cut off though I don't want to find out personally whether it can or can't. I didn't find myself worrying whether someone would grab something out of it while on vacation in Canada. Doesn't matter where one seems to vacation, as there's always the risk of something being stolen. Only issue is that I do struggle to "lock" the zippers in a quick manner but that's due to less than nimble fingers

I have other Travelon crossbody bags and this one offers same great features! Locking compartments; lightweight; reinforced crossbody strap; great organization. I purchased the black on on sale, great price!

We bought two of these for a trip to southern Italy (the travel guides are rather insistent on pickpocket / bag grab problems). The bags held up well to airline security and 10-ish hour flights, as well as to two weeks 'on the ground' with daily usage. One half of us is continuing to use the bag as a 'daily carrier'.The bags are reasonably attractive but don't call much attention to themselves. The mobile phone pocket was useful as was the water bottle pocket (though we rarely used it for that). The three inner compartments are "pretty decent", though the one which has slots for credit cards, et al, would be better if it were deeper. The "main" pocket was plenty large enough for glasses, a camera, and a tour book. The "secondary" (not the credit card area) is smaller, but still had plenty of room for a compact flashlight, a compass, a voice recorder, spare batteries, and the like.Adjustment of the strap is generous - we were each able to fit it to our liking.It is cumbersome to operate the clips which hold the zippers closed. We found that we tended to leave the credit card area clipped, but not the other two.One area in which the bag could be immensely improved would be the addition of an outside pocket. Yes, this is a security bag, but when navigating airports it would be really nice to have a convenient, easily-accessible location for boarding passes. Likewise, an external pocket would be useful for maps and as a stash for various (e.g., museum) tickets purchased during the day.In conclusion, we would certainly recommend this bag - as long as the potential buyer understands its quirks.

I love this bag -- it's the second time I've bought it! Had an earlier model of the same bag that I used regularly for years, but had to retire it recently after two of the zippers finally gave out. There have been some changes and improvements to the current model being sold. 1) Magnet closure on side pocket replaced with Velcro closure. This is a good improvement as magnets have no place on handbags (and the earlier version erased my bus pass on one occasion). 2) Lobster-claw security clasps have been replaced with rectangular hinge clasps. This is a mixed change. The new clasps are easier to use, but may be slightly less secure. The new clasps are probably less likely to break, but due to how they are attached, they'd be harder to replace if they do break. 3) Two interior mesh pockets in main compartment have been removed. Generally this is a positive. The mesh tended to catch on things, and there are still two cloth pockets that hold my phone and glasses. This frees up more space in the main compartment. 4) A sturdy ribbon with clasp has been installed in the main compartment -- great for easily finding your keys. 5) Middle wallet compartment now has a interior zip pocket, similar to the larger one in the main compartment. This seems more secure and more functional than the earlier model's small open pocket. 6) Credit card slots have been moved to the other side of the middle wallet compartment, outside of the cash pocket. This works fine. 7) Cash pocket is slightly smaller than the one on the earlier model. Works OK for dollars, but might be harder for some foreign currencies or placing a bank envelope. 8) Gusset added to wallet compartment. This makes it easier to open this compartment and access your items. 9) All three zippers seem to have been upgraded to stronger, sturdier ones. Bodes well for preventing the main reason I had to give up my earlier bag!If I could make one suggestion for improving this bag, it would be to re-think the side pockets. The one with the Velcro closure is really too small for securely holding a phone, and the zippered one on the other side, allegedly for holding a water bottle, is really not functional for holding anything other than a mini water bottle, which most people don't bother to use or carry in a bag. I think it's OK to have at least one side pocket for holding small items you want to access quickly, but I think an open envelope pocket on the back side of the bag, for holding papers or realistically stashing a phone, would be more useful.Although I've made a lot of critiques here, I have to say that I love this bag and do highly recommend it. I originally bought it before travelling abroad, but ended up using it as an "every day" bag. The security features help me feel more protected wherever I go, and it's just the right size for holding the things I need to have with me. I look forward to more years of using this bag!
