Review on Travelon Convertible Hobo: Stylish Champagne RFID Protection Bag for Travelers by David Chen

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Uncomfortable strap design, shiny fabric, too gold color

I really wanted this bag to be liked. I love Travelon bags and have several of them. And hobo is my favorite bag style. But this one is going back. The short strap is too short, causing the top zipper of the bag to go directly into the armpit. The short strap is non-detachable due to anti-theft features. I would have to cut it off and it looks like there is an anti-theft cable running through it so I'm not sure I could cut it off. The shoulder strap is too long to adjust as a shoulder strap. When I adjusted it to the shortest possible length, it was still too long. Also the color of this bag is almost golden. I was hoping for beige or khaki, but that's too gold for me. The fabric is a shiny fabric that differs from the fabrics of more modern Travelon models (this is an old style bag). All in all, there are the best anti-theft travel bags, including other Travelon bags, to choose from. I didn't find that one winner.

Pros
  • fingers crossed
Cons
  • security
