Review on 🎒 Travelon 43207 500 Anti-Theft Packable Backpack by Denise Portis

This backpack was a lifesaver on a recent long trip abroad. We've been to areas with a lot of pickpockets and this bag has security zippers all over. When folded, there is practically nothing to throw in the case, but it holds a lot of heavy things. However, the backpack needs a major upgrade to make it better. Being easy to pack, it has no reinforcement on the shoulder straps or on the back. That means you can't use it as a backpack if you put your camera, umbrella or other heavy items in it. It needs some reinforcement, at least on the top straps and back of the pack, even if it's just the wire mesh they use in their pockets. I ended up carrying it on one shoulder the whole trip because it collapsed. I would sacrifice an extra half inch of packaging to be able to use it as a backpack. Otherwise a really great product.
