TravelonAnti-Theft Metro Stadium Mini Crossbody

It is very light weight and fantastic quality. I went to an event at a sports arena that was extremely strict on bag size. There were employees/security outside the venue measuring bags before you could enter. Those measuring saw my bag and didn’t even come to check the size. A lot of “small” purses and fanny packs had to be returned to cars.I really like the little “locking” feature for the zipper. For a good deal of the night, I had the bag across my body and under my jacket. It is comfortable to wear. Yes it is small, but I was able to put just my car fob, drivers license, and credit cards into it without any bulging.

I ordered this bag after being denied entry to a concert after security declared that my bag was too big to be brought inside the venue (due to Live Nation's new COVID-19 protocols, which I was totally oblivious to at the time). This bag is honestly perfect. I've been to many more concerts with it. No hassles from security, and it's perfect to hold my license, credit cards, COVID vax card, earplugs, mask, etc. I usually slide my phone into the outside pocket and it's a perfect fit. I also recently traveled with this bag as well and it was also perfect for that. With this bag it was so easy to move through security, the airport, and the plane . No more big bulky bags to hold my personal items! And it was a great size for my actual trip as well! A great travel bag.My only qualm with this bag is that I wish there was another outside pocket to hold more items. I also get a little annoyed at sometimes being unable to straighten out the crossbody strap (so it doesn't twist), but I like to think I'll probably get better at adjusting / navigating it the more I use the bag.

Not a bad purse for the right person - maybe one with a Z phone - who wants to carry their phone and little else. Photos reflect purse loaded with a Galaxy S21, a compact, lipstick, pen and B&B Works mini lotion. As you can see, the zipper barely clears the phone and once zipped you can't fit anything in the rear unsecure pocket. If all you need to carry is a smaller cell phone, credit cards and a pack of gum it could work as a more secure option when traveling in pickpocket-prone areas.PROS: Slim, lightweight, nice security features for travel (slash resistant, 3 vertical RFID card slots, a single locking zipper), gunmetal hardware, gusseted sides, fits well against the body, great price on sale now for under $20.CONS: Interior too short for many modern phones (Samsung Galaxy S21 measuring 6.25x3.5 in a slim Spigen case - jammed all the way to the bottom of the bag, I have to drag the zipper along the top of the case to zip it shut), strap is a little stiff due to security cables. If you wear your purse to the right, the metal strap hub may end up resting right on your shoulder which could become uncomfortable over a long day.

Ultimately it was too small for my needs. Return went smoothly. High quality materials. Several pockets. Great for small stuff that can't go in your pocket (because maybe you don't have a pocket in that dress or those pair of pants). But I already had a purse for that. When I put the phone in, there really wasn't much room for anything else--some cash or a chapstick but I needed a purse with more space.

fits a surprising amount of stuff!! I originally bought this bag for the Era's tour in 2023, and then have kept using it when i go anywhere! I took it to Europe and it was perfect for travel! I have gotten 1 of my friends to buy it and one of my coworkers as well! I recommend this bag all of the time!!!

Update: Yesterday I received a message through Amazon saying that my “return” was received by the company and they have issued a refund. I did not return the black bag. Someone from Travelon must have read this review and decided to give me my money back. Now that’s great customer service! The bags are really great quality. (My husband used the navy bag throughout our trip and he was very happy with it.) I would 100% buy their products again.Original review:I ordered two of these bags on the same day- the black for me and the navy blue for my husband. They both arrived today and to my disappointment the dimensions of the black bag is a full inch shorter than the navy blue one. The navy one matches the dimensions given in the description but the black one does not. I knew I was purchasing a small bag which was what I needed for an upcoming trip to Europe, so I was expecting small, but the black one is very small. Fortunately my iPhone 13 Pro just fits but was hoping for a little bit more space like the navy one. Unfortunately it’s too late to order a replacement so I will make do. But just wanted to warn others regarding the size of the black bag.

Couldn’t even fit phone, small wallet and eyeglasses. The size measurement seemed ok, but is only a little more than an inch deep. I swear by this brand. Have taken two other Travelon bags to Europe. I was the only member of our group to not get successfully pickpocketed. I bought THIS little thing so I wouldn’t have to lug a big purse to a rock concert. It has all the tamperproof features like my full size bags, but is too small to carry even 3 items. I wasn’t driving so at least I didn’t need to stuff my car keys in there too. Now it sits buried in the back of my closet somewhere. Completely useless.

The size indicates it is 4.5"x6"x1" but measuring it with an actual measuring tape, it's 5"x6.5"x1". The arena that I need this for is super strict and doesn't allow anything bigger than 4.5"x6". It seems like a very well made design and I love the fact that you can secure the zipper. But this is bigger than the stadium approved "bags" the arena wants. Had to return. Good concept for travel though.
