Travelon Anti-Theft Courier Tour Bag

I used it for a 14 day vacation and it got really ratty looking with normal use.

Love it. Small but has all safety features. Good for short day trips out while on vacation. Looks very nice with outfits I had.

I love all the compartments for different things and the fact that I can just sling it over my shoulder and I can clip things to the side and don’t have to worry about someone slashing the handles or other pickpocket stuff.I would buy again in a denim colour or black But the arm green is working fine right now

I love this bag. It can be worn with jeans and a t-shirt or dressy work wear. Can be used as crossbody or shoulder bag. Tons of usable storage with multiple pockets and zippered sections. I typically don't care for purses that are divided such as this one but the sections in this purse are very nicely done. I am so glad I purchased this bag! I am considering purchasing it in the navy color as well.

The size is good but it looks tardy and cheap. I am concerned it doesnt have the 5 Anti theft features as it doesnt look like it has apart from the locking zip Over priced for what it looks like

Used for travels around the world and felt that I had an added layer of safety for my purse while out and about. I love all the zippered sections and the size is just perfect. I was able to fit a wallet, iPad, snacks, phones and chargers inside. I appreciated the zippered optional water bottle holder on the outside. I just wish the flap had a functional clasp, not just decorative.

I just received the Travelon Courier Tour Bag today (March 1, 2023), and wanted to straighten out/correct some things I've read in previous reviews. I can confirm that the Travelon website dimensions are right (and Amazon listing is wrong); it is 9" x 10" x 4", and as such it *barely* fits my iPad 9. It is however, the right size for my day touring purposes, and appears to hold everything I need it to; after all, it's all that Indiana Jones needed - that's good enough for me (more on that later).Someone commented that there was too much loose fabric, and had actually sewn buttons on the front flap to gather the excess; mine exhibits none of this, and while it has some wrinkles from shipping, I expect it to smooth out with use. Another complained that the bag looked cheap and had shoddy manufacturing; mine does not appear that way, and aside from a few loose threads that I snipped off, it seems well made.The water bottle pocket is indeed small; the bottle shown is 2.5" diameter and only holds ~350 ml. I suspect others who have had ripped mesh may have over-stressed this pocket by trying to put larger bottles in than it was designed for, and the added weight puts too much stress on the flimsy mesh. I would suggest carrying smaller bottles and refilling along the way, rather than trying to bringing larger ones (it looks weird anyways). Personally, I will try to put my bottle in the main compartment when there is room, as it will look less touristy.Another commented on having trouble with the zippers; I can only assume that they are not referring to the security aspect of the zipper pulls, which is the reason why one buys a bag like this. Perhaps this is because the bag is better for someone who carries this on their right shoulder; i.e. the bag rests on the left hip. Strangely, this seems better suited to left-handers (me), as the zippers are easier to access from that side and left-handed users will find they fall easily to hand (along with the water bottle). So while this was a positive selling feature for me, it may not be for right-handers/left-shoulder folks.Speaking of that, the primary reason for buying this over other Travelon bags, or the Pacsafe Metrosafe LS200 (my other top alternative), is the subdued look and lack of shiny, nylon materials. If you're looking for a security crossbody bag that Indiana Jones might carry, this is it! It is advertised as a cotton canvas; I don't know why purchasers would be surprised that it has a "cottony feeling". I purchased the stone grey version (looks slightly more Mocha to me), so that if/when any fading does occur, it will acquire a more well-used look, rather than tired. The material is indeed water resistant, but I don't expect to be out touring in the pouring rain. When comparing to the Metrosafe, the Travelon Courier *will* stand on its own, while the rounded bottom Metrosafe will not. I did like some of the zipper locks on the Pacsafe better, but the overall design was not as appealing as the Travelon Courier; It actually has kind of an Indiana Jones bag look to it!

If your like me, your traveling, probably overseas and need the perfect bag, with all the safety features, that can also hold a 16oz bottle of water. I’ve purchased and returned a few bags of this brand and also the brand designed by stewardess. Decided to look again and I’m so happy I did. First thing I noticed was the Stone Gray is a beautiful color and will blend easily with any wardrobe. Next, the material is accented with brass hardware, water resistant and the bag is stylish. I love that the handbag has a place for a 16oz water bottle, or an umbrella, or glasses, or…and it zips flat when not in use. I don’t feel like a tourist while wearing it. For me, 5’7” 160lbs the bag strap adjusted to wear crossbody and is comfortable. The strap didn’t pull or snag my clothing. I feel safe knowing the zippers lock and the bag is slash proof and the strap is as well. This handbag will lock onto a stationary object to help protect it from being lifted. The zipper under the front flap locks, the zipper in the back does not, but it’s hidden by a thicker piece of material. No card slots on the style, but the RFID is protected with a zipper compartment. Spot clean only. Nice size 11x11 1/2. We’ll I’m ready for my 3 weeks in South East Asia. You can be 1 step closer to being ready too…Look no further, this is the handbag you’re looking for. Travel safe.

PROS:* Non-gender design.* The front flap hides the secure clips of zippered pockets behind it, so how to open the bag is not immediately visible.* Size was slightly smaller than the bag-size maximum of museums, so I passed through security checks.* External water bottle pouch is awesome for 12 oz or less bottles. I think you can also use it for really small umbrellas.* The bag strap length is adjustable. One end of the strap spins 360, so you can re-adjust the direction of the strap if it twists. The strap was long enough for me to wear it cross-body, at hip height. The strap was also wide enough that it did not cut into my shoulder when carrying something heavy (battery charger, below).* Bag was well-balanced as a cross-body bag, even when I carried a backup battery charger with charging cord during a day-trip.* Innocuous brand label.CONS* It could be a little bigger (maybe a couple of inches, all-around). But this may make the bag bigger than what the museums size parameters.* The zipper clips are a pain on the go: it never clips or un-clip when you really it need to. The clips work flawlessly when you have all the time in the world.OTHER THOUGHTS:We spent a week overseas and this bag was very good for securing your wallet and phone. It was also small enough that I was able to enter all museums and attractions without a problem. (There are bag size maximums and this bag was below the maximum.)I was able to carry everything I needed (wallet, sunglasses, hand towelettes, phone, tissues, pen, mint/candy, etc.) I personally would have carried more, but it would have made my bag too heavy if I had to carry a bottle of water.I like the fact that the brand label is innocuous, so it doesn't scream "security-bag!"The Travelon Crossbody Anti-Theft Courier Tour Bag survived a week of overseas travel that included a day trip, many museums, and lots of walking tours. It will not hold more than your necessities, but it worked very well. I had no issues with durability, but I only used it for a week and don't plan on using this for anything other than traveling.

This was an amazing buy. My husband and I recently traveled to Rome, Italy and I read several articles about pick pocketing so I figured I might as well use caution. I also needed a bag I could sling over my should to hold more stuff.Pros: Adjustable straps, locking zipper, lots of pockets, small flash light, dries quickly (It rained). I alternated what we needed with us for the day, but I was able to carry our cell phones (both iPhones), a small Nikon camera, a water bottle, a map, chap stick, cash, passports, and a couple granola bars. I even took a water bottle with us to refill so I had that as well.Cons: The bag can get heavy so be aware of what you really need. The water bottle pouch was way too small when we first ordered it, so I stretched it out for a few days with a soda can. It doubled as an umbrella holder if we didn't need a water bottle. If you're going to use this and travel, I would recommend taking a "Soft Flask" water bottle that is very light weight and shrinks as you drink from it so you open up room and weight in the bag.
