Travelon Anti-Theft N/S Crossbody

Zipper broke in just over 3 months. Just outside return window. I liked the bag but quality not good compared to their other bags.

Upsides: I took my new bag (navy version) to Italy for two weeks of intensive walking. We just got back. Pluses: it's a nice size, not too small or too big, you can fit small snacks, souvenirs, etc. inside it, not just the bare minimum. And I really like the clever expandable water bottle holder sleeve on one side. Downsides: The strap is indeed thick and hard, uncomfortable on bare neck skin. I'm thinking maybe I can sew something soft around it. The mesh on the water bottle holder ripped open late in our trip (I have no idea how, the purse didn't snag on anything), and now there's an expanding quarter-size hole on bottom of it--if it grows any larger, I won't be able to keep a water bottle (or other things) in it. And the stitching that seperates the larger inner pocket into two sections is ripping loose; about two inches are gone, and that stitching gets looser with each thing I put in there. At the bargain price, it was too good to be true. I hope to repair some of these things, but this is not a purse that's going to last a long time without patches and maybe some glue.

Lots of room for travel items needed close. The adjustable strap is handy when on tours. The bottle holder also a nice touch.

Description photo clearly shows cardholder slots and states ONE of the pockets is RFID. Yet there aer no slots on the pocket, so my guess is neither one are RFID safe. I bought it because of the water bottle pocket, at first it took a bit to get one in, but it is built to stretch and works great.

perfect size, long strap or can easily shorten, RFID protection

I like how the zippers lock and the Rdif chip in it and it cannot be cut
