I bought this a couple years ago for Italy. Worked well. My son took it to Asia this year. Loved it. I’m heading to Italy again and wasn’t sure I’d take it. Lol. What a great review. I’m absolutely taking it again now. Not sure what I was thinking. Reason I’m commenting? Loved the video presentation and the right key points. More so? I just asked my wife to wash it before we go. I saw the little light fob! Forgot about that little bugger. Jumping up to un clip it right now! Thanks 🙏 (And I’m a Sig P365 guy…saw your M&P review 😉)
Thanks. Yeah, aside from it's travel non-stealing abilities I've used it a ton of times just for regular things because it's such a useful bag with good dividers
I’ve always heard it’s better for anti/theft if you wear your bag in front of you. Please comment. But then again, it’s either a lot to put in front of you. Or other bags are so flat, you can’t carry much more than what I would put in a purse. I don’t think you could fit a jacket, hat, sunglasses, souvenirs, etc.! And with some other bags, you have to get either right-handed or left-handed. Can I assume the clip at the bottom - and all clips and zippers - have the anti-theft features you discuss, e.g., locking zippers, D-ring thingies, wires, etc. This is a very nice video.
Good review, just thought they have now changed the bag a little. There is only one D ring on the back down the bottom. One is a fabric loop, makes me wonder someone could cut that. Disappointed they changed it because yours has two D rings.
Thanks for this review. I was looking for a sling bag and ordered this brand and another. Both came in same time and based on anti-theft features I went with this one. It'll come in handy when I go to Italy in a few months.
Great review. I have bought 3 Travelon bags, but found lately their zipper quality has declined. My last bag the zipper broke after only one use and the bag not full.
I had that bag. I thought it looked too much like a medical-related bag, tho. Like a portable oxygen bag or something. So I got rid of mine. However, I DO love my Classic, Large Backpack, in Olive Green. I bought it years ago when that color was an option. It IS a bit heavy, (for me, 5 ft 2, under 95 lbs) even empty, then more so, when packed! :/ but I love it, nonetheless!
I always keep my passport in my front pocket for maximum safety. That way I always know where it is. Otherwise you can put it in any of the pockets and then lock the pocket
Thx for answering Q’s here. Pls forgive if my questions may seem pedantic. I don’t have a good sense for how things work. I prob ask more Q’s than the avg person. Hope that’s OK. And from your username, are you a drummer /percussionist? I play cello. 1. Do you think customers pretty much wear the bag in back? In thinking that’s OK. I want my hands and arms FREE. I was wondering, If the bag’s in front and the strap’s in back, do you think it would be easy for a thief to grab the strap from my back and pull the bag off over my head? Don’t think they can do that if the bag’s in back. When I went to the UK, my friend insisted we carry our backpacks in front of us at night in heavy crowds. Mine was so big, heavy, and uncomfortable. I want a better solution. 2. Did you ever feel thieves’ hands messing around with your bag? Or maybe they’re too sneaky. My friend and his wife were robbed Istanbul of everything: wallets, ID, cash, credit cards, passports, airline tix. They never even noticed. 3. Does your lady friend have comments about the bag, as a woman, and since it also serves as a purse? Does she carry more stuff than you do? Does she carry her jewelry with her? 4. Are the little flashlight bulb and battery replaceable? I LOVE the inside being gray,so it’s easier to find stuff. Brilliant. You can’t see well inside most bags, esp. if they’re black! Thanks!
@@sallymjmj750 No problem on the questions. I was a drummer for a long time. If you check out the rest of my channel I actually have a bunch of drumming videos. I think most people wear it in back. I wear it in back unless I'm in some particularly crowded place where maybe I'm a little more concerned then I'll spin it around to the front. I think pulling it over your head would be a lot of effort for someone. They don't want a confrontation and ideally don't even want you to know they took something. Never had anyone get close to me any try anything that I'm aware of. I try to be aware of surroundings and not let people get close. My friend liked her bag. I don't think she was carrying anything overly valuable walking through the cities though. Probably better to not bring expensive stuff on the trip in the first place. I always carry a flashlight, so admittedly I've never used the one with the bag. Looks like the battery isn't replaceable, but those sort of lights are cheap if you needed a replacement.
Now, this guy knows how to do a review....nicely done! Thanks!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!

Yes, people are less likely to steal something from right in front of your face
Thank you, exactly what I'm looking for.

Can the bag be easily worn on the front of the body while riding a metro?
Excellent review... thank you.
Hi, don’t know if I missed it, but where in the bag did you put your passports? Thanks.☺️
I always keep my passport in my front pocket for maximum safety. That way I always know where it is. Otherwise you can put it in any of the pockets and then lock the pocket

Are they weatherproof? Also which type is that?
Check out the Pacsafe 150.
Spain, Italy, Greece? How cool is that? Good review too.
Thanks! It was a great trip!
great review! thanks👍
Thanks Norma!
Awesome review thankyou
Thanks!
great review
Thanks!!
Do they make one that stops the home invasion bullets I keep hearing about? Those things should be illegal.
Luckily if you are on a trip with your bag and someone invades your home with those scary bullets you are safe since you aren't home.
