Travelon Anti-Theft Active Packable Backpack

Love this bag. It folds into itself for easy storage but when you need to use it you cannot tell it has been folded up! Very light weight and plenty big enough for a travel back pack. Worked great on my vacation! Why did you pick this product vs others?: Anti theft was the biggest factor but the small package it folds into when not in use is great!

Great backpack. Went to Europe to visit the Christmas markets and this held up well and had loads of space.

I've been using this backpack (actually, not THIS one, but an earlier one) on international travels for over a year... using it as my daily pack for necessities and purchases. And I've beaten it pretty good, which is why I bought this new one as a replacement for embarking on another big trip. The pluses are that it's very compact, it's light, it's very roomy (and it expands), has theft-deflecting zipper-clips, and it can firmly carry two drink bottles in outside pouches. I carry books, umbrellas, food, cameras, charges, and all kinds of stuff in it. I've used it as a hiking bag, a shopping bag, and a beach bag. The negatives are that the shoulder strips constantly slide off your shoulders, no matter how tight you cinch things up, so I've had to buy a chest strap to hold it on. And it's not very water resistant... so if it starts raining, even lightly, whatever you have inside will get soaked. And, finally, two of the zippers broke. But, like I said earlier, I've used this pack hard...taking it all over the world, and the positives have far outweighed the negatives for me, which is why I ordered it a second time. I simply couldn't find a replacement with all the pluses and at the same time great price.

Light weight. Portable. Great for travel. Secure. Perfect size for a day trip. Comfortable.

I used this bag as a day bag for a recent Disney trip. Pros: The safety features of this bag are great. Loved the locking zippers on the main compartment so no one could sneak into my bag if I quickly set it down or looked away. The bag does hold more than I expected. I used it as a souvenir bag on a Disney trip and it got the job done. Cons: For a packable bag, it has a large footprint and takes quite a bit of precious real estate in your personal bag or carry on. The straps on this bag need some work. After just one day in the park, the shoulder straps started to separate from the bag. I would not trust using this as my main bag for a trip. It's good for lightweight items, but it won't hold up in the long run.

I liked that it has two water bottle holders and it folds down compact. Nice to have security features on a bag like this. I will say that its thin material. Like super thin and the rfid pocket is questionable. The anti slash protection is really only on the bottom and the lower front panel. So just as long as you understand what you are getting. But! The zippers worked great and had that clip feature i love. Also just a nice color that doesnt stand out and that helps to keep from attracting interest.

I wasn’t sure how much I’d use this backpack when I bought it for our Europe trip — but it ended up being a daily essential! It felt great knowing our valuables were secure, and the anti-theft features gave me real peace of mind. It packs down small, so now I take it on every trip just in case. Most recently, I brought it to New York with my 11-year-old, and it came in clutch when we stumbled upon a Pop Mart — it safely transported six new Labubu collectibles back home! An amazing buy and a must-have for any traveler.

The backpack is light weight so I’m hoping I can carry it easily when packed. I have not traveled with it yet, but the quality seems good.
