Highly recommend! Long review but tried to cover it all to help you. In the past I've purchased several Travelon anti-theft products (wallet & crossbody bags) all SO heavy, hurt my shoulder, felt they were a waste of money. Needed RFID for recent trip to Las Vegas & was on the fence after watching a video review because I thought it was going to be too big & bulky, but measurements were smaller. Also several reviews said water bottle (16oz) didn't fit. Glad I took a chance at the last minute & it came in the night before my trip - happy it's not grossly ugly, shinny or old lady bag looking. Most of all thank you Travelon for improving the weight issue!!!
Cons...The strap has 2 cables (stops cut & go theft) and it does get twisted now & then where it doesn't lay flay - easy fix, take off & put back on, could be improved with wider strap. It has 2 water bottle pockets on either end that un-zip with mesh - guess mesh supposed to stretch but doesn't (not a fan of the mesh) need to be careful when zipping it up. I could get 1 bottle in gently but 2nd bottle was too hard to deal with. I ended up using that one for my sunglasses. It was a bonus to have the bottle holder while walking around.
Pros...Anti-theft & RFID but lighter weight! Plenty of space for long day trips & several pockets for organization but not overbearing. Like having the main compartment with open area & it zips up end to end. The big flap pocket has a latching zipper AND a magnet to keep the flap down, I found this very convenient for my phone since it was easy in/out all day. I used the "credit card" space for my hotel key-card & receipts (put small coin purse in this locking pocket too) Size was perfect size where I could keep on my lap while sitting too.
Also, I purchased Travelon World Travel Essentials Set (RFID, 2 sizes zip "coin purses") small one for ID & credit cards, and used larger one put cash & earbuds. To carry small shopping bags hands free, I Attached a small carabiner to strap ring/hook. I was walking miles in 99 degree heat & wasn't uncomfortable with this nylon bag at all. I bought the black one & it cleaned up great after a man bumped into me with his ice cream cone. Would purchase again!
