Travelon Anti-Theft Crossbody Bags: 5-Point Security and Beyond

Best for
Travelers wanting bottle holder and RFID pouch

The 5-Point Anti-Theft Security Crossbody Bag is built around Travelon’s full 5-point anti-theft system and a spacious main compartment. Inside, the listing describes a zippered interior pocket, a side wall holder for a water bottle and additional slip pockets, plus RFID-blocking air mesh and a dedicated zipper pouch for cards and similar items. The description on the listing refers to it as the Anti-Theft Metro Crossbody, while the title does not name a collection, so treat the naming as slightly inconsistent.

What the listing does not specify matters here: there are no dimensions, no weight and no capacity figure. That makes it hard to say whether a larger handheld console fits. If you mainly want organized pockets for a phone, earbuds, a bottle and a wallet at a convention, this bag reads as a solid choice. If you need a confirmed size for specific gear, the Classic Messenger or Roam Medium give you real numbers to work with.

• 5-point anti-theft protection system
• Zippered interior pocket and slip pockets

The Travelon Anti-Theft Classic Messenger Bag measures 9 x 3.5 x 12.5 inches and weighs 10.4 ounces according to the listing. That tall profile is the key to its appeal for gamers: it offers vertical room that a flat crossbody lacks, and the listing describes a roomy main compartment alongside a separate organizer compartment, both with locking zippers.

Security covers the full Classic set: slash-resistant mesh body panels, dual cut-resistant strap cables, RFID-blocking slots and drop pockets, and a lockdown strap. The description adds a hidden carabiner so you can clip the bag to a chair or post, which is useful when you sit down at a demo station or a food court table. Two zippered expansion pockets hold glasses, a camera or a water bottle. It gives way to the Classic Crossbody when you need even more width, and to the Roam Medium if you want a shorter, lighter-looking bag.

• Locking zippers on main and organizer compartments
• Hidden carabiner for securing to fixed objects
• Cable-reinforced adjustable shoulder strap
• Two zippered expansion pockets

Minimalists carrying phone, cards and passport

The Travelon Anti-Theft Metro Convertible Small Crossbody is the lightest-carry option here, at 8.5 x 2 x 5.25 inches. The listing weight of 0.16 ounces is almost certainly a data error for a polyester bag with a strap, so do not rely on that figure. What the listing does make clear is the layout: a main locking zipper compartment with a zippered wall pocket, four RFID-protected card slots, an RFID passport pocket and a tethered key clip.

A front zipper compartment handles quick-grab items, and the rear slash pocket is sized for a smartphone. Slash-resistant body panels, locking zippers and a slash-resistant adjustable strap that can attach to a stationary object round out the protection. It is machine washable on a cold, gentle cycle. At 5.25 inches tall, it will not hold most handheld consoles, so it suits people who carry their device in a separate bag and just want documents and a phone locked down.

• Four RFID card slots and RFID passport pocket
• Tethered key clip
• Rear pocket for a smartphone
• Machine wash cold, line dry

The Travelon Anti-Theft Classic Crossbody Bag is the largest bag in this lineup at 11.5 x 2.25 x 13.5 inches, and the heaviest at 14.4 ounces. The listing positions Classic as the original Travelon Anti-Theft collection, and this bag carries the full 5-point system: locking zippers, slash-resistant mesh body panels, dual cut-resistant strap cables, RFID-blocking slots and drop pockets, and a lockdown strap.

For a convention day, the extra width and height give you room for a handheld, a power bank, a program guide and snacks without cramming. The trade-offs are weight and care: the listing says spot clean only with mild soap and water, not machine wash. If that size feels like overkill, the Roam Medium covers most day-trip needs in a smaller shape.

• Largest dimensions of the six bags
• Full 5-point Classic security
• RFID-blocking slots and drop pockets
• Spot clean only

City walks and day trips

The Travelon Anti-theft Roam Medium Crossbody is the only bag here with a stated capacity: its locking main compartment holds 4.25 liters. The listing gives dimensions of 11 inches wide, 8 to 9.75 inches high and 3 inches deep, with a weight of 10.4 ounces. Inside you get a large zippered RFID-blocking pocket for cards and passports and a tethered key clip.

A front locking zippered pocket and a rear slot pocket keep your phone within reach. Security includes slash-resistant body and straps, locking compartments, lock-down hardware and the RFID pocket. It is machine washable on cold and can be tumble dried low. The listing does not specify the fabric type. For many readers this is the sweet spot between the tiny Metro and the large Classic Crossbody, with enough depth for a slim handheld on a day out.

• 4.25-liter locking main compartment
• Large RFID-blocking zippered pocket
• Front locking pocket and rear phone slot
• Machine washable

The Travelon Anti-Theft Classic Mini Shoulder Bag measures 8.5 x 2.25 x 8.5 inches and weighs 10.9 ounces. The listing highlights slash-resistant mesh in all four sides and the bottom panel, plus a slash-resistant and lock-down strap. It also describes the bag as durable and water and dirt resistant.

The square shape suits daily errands and a trip to the game store more than a full event day. It holds more than the Metro Small but gives up the height of the Classic Messenger. Choose it if you want Classic build and security in a compact bag, and step up to the Roam Medium if you need a stated capacity.

• Slash-resistant mesh on all sides and bottom
• Slash-resistant, lock-down strap
• Water and dirt resistant
