No, you’re not seeing double. While this bag looks an awful lot like the last Travelon bag
we featured, there are some key differences.
Firstly, this one’s not expandable. That shouldn’t be a problem for most of us, but if you want to carry a lot of stuff you’re best looking at the other style. In my opinion, this Travelon also comes in a much cuter range of colors. There’s basic black, khaki, and coffee colored for the traditionalists, but also pale pink and deep eggplant for something different.
It may not be expandable like Travelon’s other big seller, but some clever pocket placement makes the most of this bag’s space. The front panel has a zippered mesh pocket, which is perfect for your ID, MP3 player, and PDA. Travelers will find this pocket great for those documents you always need on hand, like boarding passes and passports.
Inside you’ll find a roomy main compartment which is big enough to hold papers. I love the zippered organizer compartment, which has card slots, pen loops, a zippered mesh pocket, four interior pockets, and even a LED key fob!
Some Amazon customers have complained that the magnetic closure isn’t strong enough. Luckily the bag has plenty of zippered pockets to keep valuables secure.
