Travelon Anti-Theft Active Tour Bag

I needed a travel bag for a long trip to Europe. The last time we went to London my daughter had her phone pickpocketed. I used a backpack but it didn't have locking zippers so I was afraid to wear it on my back in a crowd. It could easily have been unzipped and things taken by a pickpocket. I literally ordered 12 travel bags from Amazon. I had criterion I needed to adhere to and this is the ONLY bag that met them all. First- Finding a bag with a side pocket big enough to fit a large water bottle was number 1. This one is perfect. It will zip for smaller bottles and unzip for larger. The rest barely held the smallest bottle. this one will hold my Yeti drink cup! Second- It also has self-locking zippers that are great! The others you had to have your own carabiners to lock them, if they even had the metal loop that you could lock the zipper on to at all. Third- This one has a slash proof strap that is adjustable to the perfect length to either hang on your shoulder or do crossbody. Fourth- It also is RIFD protected, which in a crowd is a must for me. Fifth- There are plenty of compartments and inside the compartments are credit card slots and additional pockets. Sixth- it's small enough to be light and convenient. Smaller than a backpack or even my regular everyday purse, but large enough to carry everything I need when I'm out sightseeing for the day, with extra room in case I might buy something and want to carry it in my bag. There are not a lot of colors to choose from but I got the green and it is really pretty. All in all I absolutely love this bag. I am traveling with it right now and find it perfect.I was so glad I finally found the right travel bag. It's crazy that the others I got all call themselves a travel bag, but they do not really meet ALL the needs that people must have when they are traveling. If you are looking for the perfect travel bag, get this one! Read more

I bought this for an upcoming overseas trip, and wanted to be able to carry all my essentials with me, both on the plane and while I'm at my destination. I LOVE the size of this bag, the anti-theft features and all the zippered pockets to help organize my belongings. It's also large enough to store my Galaxy Tab S4 tablet, which is fantastic. The reason for only 4 stars on my review is because the water bottle compartment leaves a lot to be desired. It's entirely too small for all but the smallest water bottles. Plus, the mesh bottle holder is awfully flimsy. What I'd like to see is a fabric water bottle pocket instead of the mesh, and one that is large enough to accommodate a decent sized water bottle. I have that on my luggage, so I know it can be done. If Travelon had this feature, this bag would be the perfect carry on bag. Read more

I bought this bag for a trip to Italy and Greece after having purchased and returned several that just didn't seem to be as travel friendly as they were advertised to be. This bag was excellent! It held everything I needed for each days itinerary. The side pocket holds a nice sized water bottle. There in a zippered pocket on the inside/next to your body which felt secure next to me and was excellent for items I wanted to reach for frequently like my phone that I used for its camera function or my small travel camera as I carried both. The interior looks small but if you're an efficient organizer, can really carry quite a bit. I had my reading book, a small first aide/medicine pack, charger/adaptor, wallet/money/IDs, misc stuff like tissues, etc... I loved the secured zipper feature and did not find them difficult at all to latch or unlatch. The bag with its RFID blocker, latching zippers and no-cut shoulder strap gave me peace of mind in the crowded streets. It wasn't bulky, it never felt heavy, and I now use it at home for my daily purse because I enjoyed it so much. Highly recommended purchase. Read more

I bought this bag for a trip to Europe, it worked great. The bag strap is wide, so it is comfortable on the shoulder, and long enough to adjust to be longer for a cross-body strap, so i felt it was very secure from pick-pockets, etc. The material is durable and lots of zippers and internal pockets so it felt more secure to put money in double zipped pockets. It has a little flash light...kind of nice idea. Its not too big, and not too small...just right size. I like the extra pocket for a water bottle or can I put sunglasses in it..... Exterior is kind of plain, and stands out more as a 'tourist'....but practicality overshadows that.... It seems very well made, and fabric went through rain and international flights - and still looks new....so I think this is a perfect travel purse/bag.....It will be my go-to travel purse for future trips. I am also a pilot, so i can see using this bag for flying too....water bottle pocket is great. Read more

I adore this purse. It has a lot of room in it. I am able to hold a lot of items. The strap is extremely sturdy and quite adjustable. I really do enjoy the hidden pocket on the backside that stays close to your body. You can't go wrong with the travelon bag! Read more
