Inside its 11.25-inch by 10.75-inch by 4.6-inch frame you'll find two deep drop pockets, a sleeve for a water bottle or umbrella, and a RFID-protected zippered pocket so you can safely store your credit cards and other valuables with peace of mind. There's also a removable RFID mesh pouch that you can incorporate into your other bags and luggage.

For additional security, the outside of the Travelon Metro Crossbody Bag is equipped with anti-theft locking zippers, a slash-resistant body panel, and adjustable shoulder strap. You'll find two exterior pockets on the front of the bag and a discreet one in the back to keep essentials like your phone and passport close at hand. And since travel can get messy, the bag is made with a water- and stain-resistant polyester material to boost its durability, making it easy to clean as well.

The stylish crossbody is also designed with thoughtful details to make your travels hassle- and stress-free, including a key ring (so you never need to dig through your bag for hotel keys again), a mini LED flashlight (for evening walks back to your Airbnb), and ″a pocket for everything,″ so you can keep your belongings organized and secure.
