Anti-Theft Active Medium Crossbody Messenger Bag, Teal

Perfect size for me. Enough compartments

The side pocket for water, etc. on the outside of the purse has a zipper that won’t stay zipped. Not as many good locks as Pacsafe. I did like the size of the purse.

A bit bigger than I would have liked

Love the style, safety features and design for traveling. I hate that I bought two of the same purse two different colors and the trim on both peeled off. It looks awful. Happened quickly within three weeks of buying them. Bought the first one to take to Europe. It started peeling before we left! Came home and bought a second one in the grey this time hoping it was just a defect in the aqua color. Nope the grey one peeled just as quickly. Very sad. I would love this purse otherwise. Throwing away two fairly new purses from this summer. Will be searching for a third. It won’t be Travelon unfortunately.

I love Travelon bags, I now have tho. I had a smaller purse size that I use for everyday. But needed something just a little larger to accommodate travel items when we took day trips -- like water bottle, notebook, travel guide. It wears well across the body so you can feel safe when traveling abroad. I like the feature that you can unhook the strap and lock and the locking zipper so that you can lock it to your chair while dining.

Unfortunately a part of the zipper puller was broken and the zipper tag kept falling off. Otherwise very sturdy and well made.

Good

This is not my first Travelon bag. Overall i was pleased with this bag and it worked well on a recent trip. It was easy to access my items in the bag. While I didnt use all the safety features, I am happy to have them. The only reason I didnt rate this bag 5 stars was for cosmetic reasons. Immediately upon using this bag, the material around one of the exterior zippers started to flake off. This makes the bag look much older than it actually is. While the blue in the picture isnt the true color, you can see how the material by the zipper is flaking off.

Great bag. I returned the teal because I didnt care for the color in person. It was more of deep ocean blue vs. a blue/green teal. It was a lovely color, just not for my wardrobe. Got plain old black and it works great. Very spacious, a little too big for me for everyday, but great for travel. Thin cardigan, book or ipad mini, map, wallet, travel umbrella all easily fit with room to spare for snacks, sunglasses, sunscreen, etc. My only complaint is the water bottle placement. I wear the purse crossbody so it rests on my left side. The water bottle is in front, so it bugs me that in every photo that damn water bottle is front and center. Not a deal breaker, but once I noticed it, I cant unsee it in every picture. A great, versatile purchase!

Instantly broke, had a ripped swam on the inside of the outside pocket, silver detail immediately rubbed off. Itd be a great bag if it wasnt broken...
