Title: Flexible and secure cross-body bag for travel
Review: I recently used this bag on a nearly month-long trip around Great Britain, including larger cities such as Edinburgh and London, where pick-pocketing is a concern. I went back and forth between this bag and a similar PacSafe - mostly, I do prefer how PacSafe uses cables in the cross-body strap - but ultimately chose this one because I preferred the tweedy-looking fabrics, as well as the pair of side pockets. Because I am currently healing up from a leg injury and was traveling with a folding cane - in some places where the cane was too awkward to use because of cramped spaces or too many people, the folded-up cane easily fit in one of the pockets over a short time. Also, the pockets were a good place to put our digital camera - it's a small camera so it fit snugly and deeply in the pocket - for quick access without being forced to open and close the bag. Additionally, the zipper locks here are a little more straightforward than PacSafe's - still difficult for a pickpocket to maneuver, but not so difficult that I was going to have a hard time using them!I was very pleased with this bag. It holds a surprisingly large amount of small items. As we traveled between cities, I would have my passport in a case, a Kindle, my smartphone, my travel wallet, two folded reusable Envirosax bags, and a dual strap Cho-Pat for my knee in the main compartment and slip-in pocket. (For day-to-day usage, the Kindle and passport case stayed behind in the hotel safe.) The zip-up pocket held tissues and room keys, and the front pockets held all sorts of small things I needed handy like an Oyster card, cough-drops, and some travel wipes. The back pocket was the perfect location for my glasses and sunglasses (held in microfiber bags, not hard cases). I also had printed-out tickets - folded in thirds - in the slip-in pocket, and they were very easy to slide in and out when necessary.While I note some people had problems with hardware breaking, I did not have that problem. Nothing I carried was overly heavy or bulky, though - I never tried to carry our iPad into this - because I can't really carry a heavy bag anyway with a shoulder injury. I feel if you want to carry more items, you should probably up-size to a full messenger bag or backpack that has more interior volume. This bag is designed to carry your small/slender day-to-day essentials, so if you are looking to cram a lot of items into a small bag, I don't think I'd recommend this bag. I fully concede it doesn't have a lot of expansion room as far as the width goes. But I don't think that's what this bag was designed for, so I don't necessarily see it as a negative for the design - you just need to grasp that the design is for smaller items, not heavier-duty use. (We each traveled with an overhead-bin sized roller-bag and a Small Catalina Deluxe bag from Lo & Sons - the latter bags took care of toting electronics and cords and other miscellaneous "stuff" when we were either flying or on a train.)Wearing this bag across the body was quite comfortable, and the loop handle was also very comfortable in the hand when I switched to using that on occasion. My worries about the cable not being in the cross-body strap were pretty unnecessary - while this lacks a cable, it is a very sturdy and thick strap - there is no way it wouldn't take many, many swipes with a small knife for the strap to be cut. And the strap hardware was just complicated enough that it would be difficult for someone to undo discreetly without my noticing it. It was also pretty easy to unhook and wrap this around a table leg or through some bench slats if I was worried about someone grabbing it if I wasn't paying 100% attention to the bag at all times.I also appreciated the small flashlight inside. I ended up using it in some small dark spaces, so it was surprisingly useful to have. And one or two of our boutique hotels gave us actual room keys, so it was nice to have a strap to attach those keys to. It hangs deeply into the bag, so I never felt like keys were at all vulnerable to accidentally falling out.I am very pleased with my purchase and am not regretting buying this over a similar PacSafe. My main goal in a travel bag was something that would allow me to carry several small items with a little bit of room for other small items. It was more than up for the task.

Title: I’m In Love!
Review: First, this purse is deceptively spacious. I tested it out with all the things that I might bring along with me when I’ve got all my kids in tow and I don’t want to have them bring along their own backpacks. I ended up with my own paraphernalia, which includes my wallet, keys, phone, Air Pod case, hand lotion, lip balm, nail file, a couple of ink pens, a travel thing of Tylenol, a handful of cough drops, and a few other miscellaneous things. Then I added in my youngest kid’s 10 inch Samsung tablet, my other kids’ phones, and still had a little room to spare if I wanted to throw in a few small snacks or if my youngest wanted to bring a small toy or two. I could even put a couple coloring books and a thing of pencils in there if I wanted to. Second thing on the list of things to love is how sturdy it seems. The fabric is thick and strong feeling, the zippers are heavy duty and don’t look like they’ll break anytime soon, and the lining doesn’t feel like cheap material. Honestly, the only cheap looking part of the whole thing is that silly little LED light thing on the key clip. I feel like if you need a flashlight to find something in your purse, you probably have too much stuff in there. LOL, no offense meant to anyone who really does need the LED light, I just personally think it’s silly. Next, the cool features. One of the things I don’t remember seeing in the description were the mesh bottle holders on the sides that tuck away neatly behind zippers when they’re not in use, thereby making it look cleaner and reducing the extra fabric flapping in the wind. I’ve never seen a purse where the bottle holders could be stowed away with zippers, and I think that’s ridiculously clever and very cool. And, the locking zippers! I love them. I don’t have any plans to travel abroad with this purse anytime soon as some other reviewers have done, so I don’t worry too much about French or English pickpockets. But, having that extra layer of security is nice to keep my wallet, keys, and phone as safe as possible. I think the only thing that could have made this purse better would be to add a second zippered large compartment, but that’s just a personal preference. I went with the pewter color because it was $20 cheaper than the other colors, but I’d gladly pay full price if they added a second big compartment, maybe with a couple of interior zipper pockets just to keep things as organized as possible. I’m not a neat freak by nature, but I love love love having everything in its rightful place in my purse and I feel like this one could have that extra big compartment without increasing the width of the bag all that much. But, overall, I’d absolutely buy this purse again. I’ve only had it for like an hour, so if anything changes over time I’ll come back and update this review.

Review: Es muy bonita y mucho más grande de lo que esperaba, lo cual está genial ya que en las fotos se veía más pequeña.Tiene un montón de bolsas súper prácticas; le cabe perfectamente un libro mediano/grande, lentes, cartera, celular, lipstick, botella pequeña de agua, llaves…Tiene un lamparita interior y lo que está genial es que tiene una bolsa completa de RFID no solo ranuras para tarjetas como las travelon anteriores.No es taaaannnn pesada, pero tampoco es liviana del todo. El material es bueno y se ve que es de uso rudo, aunque si se ve que se manchara mas fácilmente que la tela de las otras travelon, así que hay que tener eso en mente ya que no se puede meter a la lavadora ni mojar, solo se debe de usar un paño húmedo para limpiarla por aquello del RFID.Yo la compré para uso diario, si la quieren para viaje y que no haga taaantooo bulto les recomiendo una más pequeña ya que esta es algo difícil de guardar/esconder bajo la chamarra o el sacoEspero esto les sea de utilidad 😉

Review: I bought this bag for it's safety features and it's kind of "world traveler" rugged look. It was one of the best items I bought for my month long trip to Spain and Morocco. Easy access to passport, wallet, a few snacks but best off all it holds 2 water bottles on the side.I just love this bag. It will be travelling with me where ever I go.

Review: Was reluctant to order this as its so expensive for a canvas bag - at almost the price of a leather one - but so glad I did! Bought for our trip to pick-pocket-mecca Barcelona. Perfect for a holiday handbag, particularly due to two side pockets (that store flat if empty) for easily accessible bottle of water or brolly. Hunted for ages for a bag with two elasticated side pockets - very few to choose from. Lots of compartments. Big enough for packed lunch and thin waterproof, camera, guidebook etc as well as purse. Every zip has an (optional) security clip that prevents thieves pickpocketing without a lot of obvious fiddling. Strap strengthened to prevent thieves slashing. Even has a little key ring clasp inside with a mini torch so you can find things! Sits quite flat against body and can be carried on shoulder or cross body so really comfy and secure. Superb technical design, great quality, and looks lovely too. Suitable for male or female.

Review: Finally! An anti-theft design for right handed men!.Having a pacsafe bag which this will replace, joy isnt enough to express how much BETTER these TRAVELON bags are designed...Let me break it down: the majority of medival knights wore their swords/scabbard on their left hip ... because the majority of them were right handed ... right hand dominant = stuff gets pulled easier from left hip. Even if you argue that zips are easier to open on a different side, how about this arguement: wearing a bag on your left hip, how much more secure is a locking mechanism that faces forward and not behind? Enough said. The TRAVELON bags are designed to be securely used, not as a gimik..I will champion TRAVELON bags over any other anti-theft bag design, the interiors are well layed out, pockets for everything. The lining is great. Reasuuringly tough.

Review: I purchased this bag in 2017 for work, travel and everyday use. It fits everything I need and the compartments are the right size for my needs. I can fit a full sized wallet which I like. It is light weight and the zippers are great quality. Overall, this bag has been used for the better part of the entire time I’ve had it since purchased. I would like to purchase another one in a different colour, however, I am hesitant due to the only downfall about this bag and that is the side pockets. They are great to hold a water bottle or umbrella; however, the material is flimsy, runs and gets ripped easily. As you can see, I had to do a quick, temporary stitch repair as to not lose anything. Due to the material "running" it is not easily repaired, in fact, I am not sure how I would repair the sides without completely replacing the material with something else. If not for that it would be a 5 star bag!
