Title: Perfect for travel with kid
Review: I bought this for a 12 day tour di Italy with my 2 year old & hubs. I wanted to travel light, without the huge tourist backpack. You CAN fit a slim metal water bottle in the expandable pocket, which was one of my worries. The big compartment fit a foldable portable fan, 1-2 diapers, small pack of wipes, silicone bib and a small umbrella! The card pocket is conveniently located and all the pockets have zipper locks. There is also a tiny little LED light on the strap with we actually did use. Will definitely be keeping this an using for future trips.

Title: Second time buying this bag!
Review: 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!

Title: Great travel bag
Review: Purchase for international trip. Small yet holds so much. Fit under my coat so no worries of falling off shoulder or being pick pocketed. I saw many reviews about the strap clasp failing. I secured my strap with a small zip tie. Didn’t have any issues at all. Two side pockets were useless; doesn’t fit iPhone.

Title: Brings a sense of safety
Review: 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

Title: Travelon Anti-theft travel bag worked well for European trip.
Review: Bag has plenty of compartments to keep things organized. The bag material is very good quality and has a long strap than can be adjusted to a comfortable length for any body type. I highly recommend this travel bag.

Title: Perfect travel bag
Review: I purchased this bag for a two- week trip to Europe. This purse worked so well! It holds so many items. As the wife/mom who has to carry all of the items needed it worked perfectly. There are so many pockets that it often took a moment to find the items I was looking for! I felt secure with the anti-theft features, although I didn't have any occasion to test it. I highly recommend this product.

Title: Nice travel bag, but side pockets are useless
Review: I bought this bag for a recent trip to Europe. It's a good travel handbag. Not too big and has three zippered pockets for storing wallet, tickets, passport, phone, etc. I like the fabric and zippers and it felt secure. However, I am very disappointed with the side pockets. I specifically ordered this style because, in the description, it said that it has a mesh expansion pocket to hold a water bottle, which I like to carry with me. However, this expansion pocket is very small and much too small to hold a regular size, 16oz water bottle. I was able to fit a mini, 8oz, water bottle in there but that doesn't last very long. The pocket on the other side is also very small and not very deep and didn't feel secure so I didn't use that one at all. Needs some design changes.

Review: Compact bag for travel; holds a surprising amount of items. Multiple pockets. Well made & adds a level of security not found with most purses or similar travel bags. Very practical & functional. Excellent for what I wanted it for; however, if you're looking for 'high fashion', this is not for you.

Review: What I liked: This Classic travel bag is roomy for a personal bag to take on the plane. In the large main pouch, I was able to put two sets of glasses in their respective cases, a power bank, one snack, a small puzzle book and, toiletries to pull out for the security line. The front zippered pouch has ample room for my phone (which is in a wallet) and room for other things, such as ear buds or other small electronics. I really like the in-between zippered pouch as it is shallow and has slots for credit cards and a zippered side for coins and paper money (for those who still use cash), and my phone in its case fits here, too. All of these pouches zip shut and are locked in place for security. I recommend putting your phone and all electronics, glasses, etc. in the main pouch, and use the outer pouch for the liquids toiletry bag to be pulled out easily for the security line. I stuffed this bag to the max as see in pictures 1 and 7. It weighed just under 5 lbs. or 2.27 Kg.What I did NOT like were the two side pouches. The one side is expandable but is a struggle to get a water bottle to fit in the pouch. Make sure to open the zipper all the way to the bottom of the pouch. I think you could put an umbrella in it without a fight. The other side pouch is small. Facial tissue packages can be squished into the pouch where a Velcro flap keeps the package secure. These two pouches ARE useable, just a slight struggle to get things in and out of them. Great idea though!Overall, this bag is a tremendous find and VERY secure. It is not overly big, is very well made, and quite reasonable for the price charged. The 4 star is for the weight. You cannot get a well-made, durable bag with thin fabric. This fabric is very strong and well worth the extra weight. Hence, the five star rating on the sturdiness.
