Worked well in Rome
my wife and I each carried one in Rome for a week. I had a more secure feeling in crowds and it was big enough for what I needed for a day of touring. Excellent product.

Husband chose this for our European trip. I liked the quality and locks so much, I purchased the hip bag for myself!
I love the zippers and the anti-theft pocket. The only thing that I do not like is the way this pack lays when I put it in front. It is not flat. It is kind of in the way. When I put it on my back, it is great, but in crowds, I would move it to the front.
The sling pack worked perfectly to carry my phone along with a few other items.
I didn't have to worry about my valuables while attending Oktoberfest and using
the trains across Europe. Excellent travel accessory!!
The locking feature on this bag is brilliant, no way a pick pocketer is going to have the time or finesse to get that lock open, especially with an actual lock on it. Also, the ability to be able to strap the pack to a fixed object and lock it on is fantastic. I was just at a hotel that didn't have a safe so I strapped the pack to a closet pole and locked it on, problem solved. It's great for going through airport security, put your passport, wallet, phone and the such inside the pack, lock it and no worries about anybody swiping anything. I just got back from traveling overseas in a rental car and I used to have to carry my backpack every time we left the car with my valuables in it, now I just grab the sling pack and I'm good, way lighter and more convenient. Also, when at a restaurant, I just slide the pack to my hip area and it's still secure on my body and out of the way, not even noticeable to other people. It does take a few times wearing it to find a comfortable position for it and figure out how to access the pockets but you figure out what works best for you. I do agree with the other reviews that it would be nice to have a pocket on the outside for when you're just walking around and want quick access to your phone, a boarding pass or the such but overall this sling pack design was well thought out and is fantastic for securing your valuable against theft.
