Go Festival Crossbody Bag

I bought this bag for a trip to London and Paris. I thought that it was rather expensive, although I found it to be cheaper at Backcountry than anywhere else, and seem to remember that shipping was free. It served me well as I visited museums and famous buildings without having to mind my valuables once the carrying strap was around my neck and shoulder. I was able to carry billfold, two glasses cases, hearing aids, phone & charging block with cable, journal pages, and travel book in the two zippered compartments -- but I had to pack all this carefully. The whole was much lighter than the heavy shoulder bag that I usually carry. I also give this bag pluses for having a velcroed inner pocket inside one of the zippered pockets, a tough fabric that is supposedly not easily slashed, and a cut-resistant strap that can be adjusted to short and long lengths. Yes, the zipper locks were difficult at first, but became easier with use and with learning how to manipulate them. I've just used for this one 3-week trip, so I will have to see how the construction holds up over time.
