Review on Optimized Travelon Signature Crossbody with Anti-Theft Compartments by Drew Panah

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Super secure bag, awkward to carry a DSLR

I bought this bag for a 3 week trip to Europe and it worked very well. I was specifically looking for a comfortable and secure shoulder bag that could protect my credit cards, separate important documents and tickets from the rest of my handbag stuff, and fit in my DSLR. I saw in another review that a DSLR would fit in this case and I was convinced, especially as I really wanted the security features of the Travelon but didn't like the style of too many others. The handbag is a bit lighter, almost green, and I didn't like it at first, but it went well with most of my outfits. It was also quite comfortable to wear and I liked the little locks and found it very secure. However, it did NOT fit my DSLR very well. I wore the camera around my neck for most of the trip, which I expected anyway, but every time I had to put the camera in my purse it was a disaster. I was constantly having to move things around until I basically emptied everything out of the main bag and stuffed it in, usually not being able to fully zip it up. It worked well but not perfectly. Overall I think this is a really durable bag that is not easy to snatch or steal when visiting tourist areas. If you can stay organized and not overwhelm it, you should be very glad you took it with you on your trip to Europe.
