With the rise of pick-pockets and identity thieves preying on travelers, the popularity of anti-theft bags like this Travelon Anti-Theft Boho Tote has also risen. Travelon has always been known for their affordable travel bags for women and all their offerings for anti-theft bags have so far been a hit because of their price points.
Travelon long ago cottoned on to the fact that travelers expect an RFID blocking compartment or card slots in an anti-theft bag, so instead of losing customers to Pacsafe, which had long included these features, they joined the bandwagon. This tote not only includes RFID blocking for credit cards and a passport but also anti-slash construction for the front and main compartments and straps, and lockable zippers.

- The size is 12 x 14.25 x 4 inches and it weighs 1 lb and 6 oz.

Pros

- Lightweight and can be carried either with the adjustable shoulder strap in cross body style, or as a shoulder bag using the double carry handles.

Cons
- Even though this tote is large, the shoulder strap and grab handles are not padded, making it difficult to carry it for long periods when heavy.
- Not big enough to act as your only carry on bag unless you don’t plan on carrying much with you on the flight.
Verdict
