baggallini Securtex® Anti-Theft Vacation Backpack

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a few weeks ago in preparation for my upcoming trip to Italy! I have been searching for a bag big enough to hold more than a small purse, such as an iPad, and this is it! It was important to find a bag that was stylish and not big and clunky (I’m only 5 feet tall) and this is perfect! It is going to be a great travel bag and I am looking forward to breaking it in and getting lots of use. It has lots of zippered compartments and safety features, too!

Love this bag. Bought this bag our trip to Italy, where pickpockets are rampant. It’s the Perfect size. Love the I can lock secure the zippers. I use the back pocket as a wallet, and it is lockable. When wearing the bag this is hidden, against my body. So you don’t know it there. I also use it a my everyday purse. Would recommend

I bought this bag for an upcoming trip, but now carry it as my everyday bag. At first I was put off by the stiffness of the straps, but they become more flexible with use. It's just the right size as a day pack, and not too big as a purse. Love the exterior pockets with locking zippers and the internal organization. Wish it had an internal key ring, but that's a minor inconvenience.

This bag is great! I got me one first then purchased one for my mom. There are so many pockets and its very stylish! I like that it has RFID protection too!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am impressed by the quality of the fabric and stitching. Plus it has room for all of my essentials.

I bought an Apple Green, antitheft, backpack for a trip to Europe this fall. I loved all of the aspects and the fact that I had an outside pocket for my ever present, water bottle. I was using the other pocket for my phone, until, someone not so kindly , stole it while in the Platka in Athens. Maybe it was my stupidity, but I needed easy access to my phone, as I was taking photos on a food tour. If only there was an easily accessible, secure pocket for my phone. Other than that, I loved the pack and the color as well!

Absolutely love this bag. I’ve ordered 2 colors. Love the security - Multiple hooks to protect against pick pockets, credit card read protection, reinforced straps and material to prevent slash and grab, has 2 bottle holders. Many compartments to keep things organized. Best bag ever for travel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this backpack for a trip to Europe. Its anti theft features put my mind at ease when traveling in high tourist areas. I would highly recommend this backpack.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this for my daughter to travel with. We are huge fans of baggallini. Unfortunately the straps have changed and that’s why we had to return it. We tried to purchase pads to make it more comfortable but it became bulky.

Holds what I need for a day away and balances well on my back, not making things too heavy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just traveled abroad for the first time and was unsure of what type of bag to take. This was perfect for all the sight seeing trips. Held everything I needed for a day out and about.

I love the material and compartments. The straps are an issue. Since they are stiffer than normal, possibly due to wire inside to make it anti theft ? the straps don't lay together. They are my biggest problem. They need to put a 2nd strap keeper on each strap to keep them together due to their stiffness.

I bought this bag for my European vacation but it has now become my new favorite everyday bag. I love that I can clip the main compartment closed when in busy areas. All the little compartments are perfect. The outer pockets I use for my water bottle and umbrella. I’ll probably another one in another color. Love this bag.

I recently purchased this bag from a retailer. I love the size and the compartments in the bag. However, once the bag is packed it no longer lays smoothly on your back. It wants to bulge out at the top. I have spoken to someone else that had this exact problem with the bag. I had to return the bag, unfortunately. Please work on improving this design, as it’s such a great size!

I bought this bag as my "personal carry on item" for cross country and trans-Pacific airline trips. It carries my canteen and glasses in the outer side pockets; tablet, ebook reader, chargers, over-the-ear headphones in the capacious main compartment; cellphone, ID, passport, tipping money and parking meter coins in the RFD "wallet" pocket so I can find them easily instead of scrounging at the bottom of the bag; eye drops, nasal spray, lip gloss, hand cream and hand sanitizer in the securable outer pocket. I love the backpack straps because it keeps my hands free and my possessions on my person when I use a public ladies' room. Rugged exterior material withstands thundershowers. This doubled as my archery repair gear bag at the Pan-American Masters Games. And since it is not too large, it tripled as my purse when we went sightseeing.

This is perfect for my work bag and fits all of the necessary work versus personal items in separate compartments making it much easier to organize. I really like it. The straps are wide and sturdy and very comfortable. I bought the black because the only other color I like is the mushroom color. I already have that in a smaller backpack.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Feel like my stuff is secure but I can carry everything I’ll need and feel comfortable about in places I don’t know. May try it for work too. Love the French Navy color. Goes with everything and the material is very durable!

I have tried ither backpack style purses but this is the first one I think is really secure. With my valuables safely secured in the back facing zippered section I know they won't be breached yet they are easily accessed. There is ample room in the front sections of the pack for my other items. The overall size is goid and the purse fits my 5'2" frame well.

I have many Baggallini bags and this is my favorite. Love the wallet in the back. Enough pockets to keep organized and is still slightly smaller than other backpacks. Love the anti theft features

I bought this for an upcoming trip to UK so I haven't used it yet to really put it to the test. I like the fact that the "wallet" part of the bag is on the back, so it will sit against the back plus it has the locking zipper. I put my cc in my Apple Wallet so I'll be able to use the phone or watch to make purchases, so I will rarely have to get my cc out anyway. The locking zipper is also on the top of the bag. I suspect to lock the zippers, takes a bit of effort so I won't typically use that, but if I'm going on a crowded train, say, or in any crowded area, I will lock them. This seems like it'll be the perfect "day bag" while touring around. I'll have plenty of room for my raincoat, water bottle, hat and all the other things one tends to collect while touring. It's lightweight and yet has a "substantial" feel to it, lightly padded & keeps it's shape. After I received mine, a friend who recently came back from 3 weeks in Europe, showed me the backpack she used, and it's this exact bag. She said it was perfect.
