7 reasons I switched to a bag I wear in front
After a pickpocket in Barcelona, my daughter handed me this bag. This Black Friday every bag comes with a second one free.
You may already know my story: a thief in Barcelona smiled at me while his hands were in my bag. What matters more is what I learned after.
My daughter said one thing that changed how I travel: "Mom, never carry a bag you can't see." She found a Buy 1 Get 1 FREE deal on the FlyHugz Anti-Theft Bag and kept the second one for herself.
Here are the 7 reasons it became the first thing I pack.
I stopped worrying about what's behind me
With a bag on your back, half your brain patrols the space behind your shoulders. Is someone unzipping it right now? Did I just feel a hand?
This one sits flat in front of you, where you can see it and feel it. No more checking every five minutes in a crowd.
The zips hide against my body
Two diagonal zips sit recessed under the flap, and the main zip faces your body. A stranger can't get in without you noticing.
The strap and Oxford fabric are slash-resistant, so a quick cut and grab is much harder.
My cards sit behind an RFID-blocking lining
Contactless cards and passport chips can be read by a scanner held close. The lining helps keep them out of reach, so a brush past on the metro doesn't cost you a fraud call.
Every bag comes with a second one FREE
2 bags for $24.95 each. Buy 2 Get 2 adds 4 FREE sleep masks.

Phone in the top pocket with a snap tab, passport in its own slot. Reach in, show it, keep moving. The bag never comes off.
It doesn't look like a tourist target
Big "security" backpacks tell every pickpocket on the block you have valuables. This looks like a normal crossbody purse in Luxury Gray or Princess Pink, and it slides under a jacket.
It fits my whole day
Phone, passport, cards, earbuds, a small power bank, sunglasses and lipstick, each in its own pocket. Nothing jumbles at the bottom.
A sudden downpour doesn't reach my passport
The Oxford fabric is water-resistant, so rain and spilled coffee wipe off instead of soaking in. The strap adjusts long or short.
This is how my daughter and I got ours
She found the Buy 1 Get 1 FREE deal and kept the second bag. Luxury Gray for me, Princess Pink for her.
Take Buy 2 Get 2 and you get 4 bags plus 4 FREE sleep masks, one for everyone you travel with. $24.95 per bag.

"While traveling in Portugal and Spain with my son and daughter-in-law, I was concerned about keeping my documents with me and safe without burdening them with my usual confusing disarray of pocket stashes, bulky purses, uncomfortable backpacks, etc. This travel bag fit the bill! Slim enough to fit under extra jackets or raincoat"
