Baggallini Anti-Theft Travel Backpack for Women - Securetex RFID Blocking Lightweight Daypack for Vacation, Commuting & Outdoor Adventures

I love Baggallini Bags. I used to be an all leather bag girl buying for looks and colour. These days we travel a lot and practicality and security are my priorities. This bag ticks both boxes and more. But, if you are after a big backpack to store a large amount of stuff then keep looking. The size works well for me but everyone is different.First lets talk about the section at the back of the bag that is basically a wallet for noted, coins, cards, passports AND it has RFID protection AND security locks so no-one can get into your important stuff without you knowing. Also, that section of the bag is worn against your back so no-one is going to pickpocket you without your knowledge. I occassionally put my phone in this section too, but it takes longer to access so I tend to use the large section for my phone.The small outside side pockets are a good size for a small water bottle (I reuse an Aldi 350ml water bottle) and we shopped for a small compact umbrella that fits in the the pocket. I don't want to carry a large umbrella anyway, this is just-in-case the weather changes when we are sightseeing.The outside zipper pocket is good for paper stuff, I use my phone for maps but there is often some bit of paperwork I pickup or need to carry. I put my carry around makeup essentials here - nail filing boards, lip balm, mascara, eyeliner etc.We haven't got to the inside section yet. Basically fill it with all the other stuff you like to carry. Plenty of space. I carry sunscreen and hat (I also have a hat/clothing clip for the outside of the bag that I bought separately to hang my cancer council hat) and light jacket if needed.Finally it is washable in the washing machine so it gets a really thorough cleanse. Ticks all my boxes.
