TravelonAnti-Theft Classic Sling Bag,Black, One Size

Frequent traveler here. Learned from someone else’s victimization and how to travel smarter. This little bag is effective with its many pockets and the amount you can put in this thing! The other thing I like about this is that either I or my spouse can carry it as the colors are neutral. Honestly, he likes to carry it on vacation! Def recommend this. It’s lightweight, it is comfortable on and the bag is durable-do your own research as why this is needs to safeguard your identifying documents and financial means. Safe travels !

I recently purchased this bag for a two week trip abroad to Spain. I did a good amount of research and planning before our travel. I wanted to prepare with a bag that wouldn’t be too cumbersome, but also maximize utility for the day. I also wanted a bag that would ease some worry about issues with pickpockets and snatching.I don’t normally carry a bag. I am a big guy and my pockets are usually enough. I really appreciate how this bag drapes across the body and how you can easily alternate shoulders if you need. The bag can be worn on the back and quickly rotated around the body to be side or front carried. The external bottle pocket was also a huge plus to easily keeping hydrated.The bag has a deceiving capacity that is super handy if you pick up anything small to medium thing during the day. From experience, it easily held museum guide books, a notepad, a battery charger, papers/cards, sunglasses, and a packable blanket. Alternatively, it will easily hold two 750 ml bottles of wine!All of the advertised security features added peace of mind, but thankfully I did not have to test them. The zippers are nice, felt quality, and were easy to clasp when in “safety mode.” The strap was comfortable and adjustable for all sizes.Some small complaints; the padded area of the strap could be more plush. If the bag got too heavy I found myself shifting it more often to reduce shoulder pressure.Overall, I would highly recommend this bag for your next day trip or urban travels. I felt secure and held all of the key items I needed for a flawless sightseeing adventure.

Have used this to travel to many countries with. I love how it is close to the body and has many pockets even has a place for your water bottle. Has a nice little light that I can look inside to see where things have fallen. HAs many pockets that makes it convenient to put my passport and my money and my credit cards in a safe place next to my body. Very comfortable and I don’t have to remove it when I go on a plane, I can wear it from destination to destination without having to put it underneath the seat in front of me

Been using about a month. Well made. Dimensions are good: big enough for a travel umbrella, sunglasses, etc. but wot too wide so it takes up the whole front of your body if you wear it as a front pack. Just wish side pocket for a water bottle was bigger. Presently, it’s so tiny that it’s useless so I have to carry my water bottle inside of the bag. I’ve figured out my phone can fit in it when it’s zippered, but the zipper doesn’t stay up so it’s too easy for my phone to fall out.

bought for a trip to NY and it worked great. Loved that it has a water bottle holder and was very comfortable. Will take on all trips in the future!

Perfect size to carry decent sized women’s wallet, cell phone, bunch of keys and various small items and small water bottle. Excellent quality fabrics and workmanship, sturdy zippers and clasps. Very pleased with quality and value! Would definitely buy again and may also be getting the daypack when more capacity is needed.

I wore this every day in Europe. It was easy to carry, had a lot of space on the inside, and had safety clips to keep it safe. It’s very durable and it will last me for years to come

I just used this pack to carry my travel essentials during a 3-week trip to Portugal. It performed fine, but I have decided I won't be using this pack in the future. Here's why:My main issue is that the interior design of the pack, and its overall shape, just isn't very useful, IMHO. It's so tall and deep, all my stuff tended to sink to the bottom and kind of mush together. So, I was always digging for my wallet, passports, camera, etc. and having moments of panic that they weren't there... only to eventually find them near the bottom after more digging. Compounding this problem is that fact that some of the interior pockets are very shallow, and stuff just straight up falls out and ends up at the bottom, adding to the mush. The most useful interior pocket, which is large enough to hold passports, is also near the bottom, and its contents are sometimes hard to distinguish from the stuff crammed at the bottom around it. Then there are the odd card-holder pockets... which just seem like a bad idea. Why would I take my cards and put them in individual pockets, that will probably just dump into the main compartment and get lost? I think a horizontally oriented bag would work much better for general travel purposes - something like a traditional fanny pack.True, some of these issues could be alleviated by carrying much less stuff, but it just seems like the interior should be more useful. (And if you have the room in your bag, people will hand you stuff to hold, they just will!)The one exterior slash pocket is nice and pretty useful. I also found the water bottle pocket to be EXTREMELY handy, and wish more smaller-sized packs had this feature. Kudos for this!Comfort/fit wise, this actually works pretty well. It sits nicely in backpack mode, and also works well when worn on the front, though it's maybe a tiny bit larger than I'd like it to be while on my front. Speaking of size, the size is nice - definitely doesn't feel big and bulky, but gives you more volume than a little fanny pack. Personally I'm going to go with something a little smaller next time, as I just end up carrying more than I want to anyway... but if you have something tall you'd like to carry (such as a compact umbrella) this might be ideal.The security features are also very nice, though I will mention, I personally found them to be big-time overkill, at least for a place like Portugal (even in Lisbon). Because, if your bag is on your chest in front of you and you can keep an eye on it, and your wallet is in a secure, not-easily-accessible pocket, it seems good enough to me. You can even keep your bag under a hand, at your side. I can't imagine someone actually trying to slash your bag off of you in a crowded area, when there are so many low-hanging fruit around (tourists with wallets/phones visible in their back pockets!) Maybe while traveling in more dangerous places these features are necessary, but for my next bag, I am not going to worry about locking zippers or wired straps or slash-proof fabric, I'm just going to always keep my stuff on my chest in front of me to foil the pickpockets. Especially because you're paying a premium for these features on this bag...I'll also mention, the styling on this bag is fine, but it certainly isn't going to win any awards. It's a little... dorky looking, to be honest. Which may fit with your style, but I wished it was a little more attractive. Materials seem nice, though I will mention that the edge of the carry loop webbing material started to fray after a few days. This didn't seem to affect functionality, but didn't look great either.So, overall, it's possible this is the ideal bag for you. It has some nice features, certainly, and provides a size and form factor that doesn't seem common among travel bags. But the main pocket is just worthless to me, as far as organization goes, so I'm going to move on - you'll have to decide for yourself! :)
