The 10 Best Crossbody Bags For Travel

The NeatPack For Women (around $33) might best be summed up as "practical." Its strap has extra padding for all-day carrying, it's made from a sturdy nylon fabric that repels wetness, and it's got plenty of compartments to keep you organized and sane.

You'll have the Saddleback Leather Co. Briefcase (around $719) for life, as each of these handsome models is crafted to exacting quality standards from hardwearing materials, including 100 percent full-grain leather and marine-grade polyester thread.

The eBags Kalya Town Square (around $40) is just as practical for dashing around town as it is for journeying in foreign lands, since it's got a spacious interior along with a panel on the back that works as either a suitcase handle stabilizer or a yoga mat holder.

You can't schlep much at all in the Chala Multicolor Handbag (about $33), but it's available in a huge range of cute designs that feature everything from mermaids to buffaloes. The lining is soft, so it won't scratch your mobile, and the exterior is crafted from synthetic leather.

This Tumi Voyageur Canton (around $195) gives you the anti-theft components of all the best models, but it goes one better with the Tumi Tracer. Should you lose it, anyone who finds it has only to call the number on the discreet panel to see that it's returned to you.

You can wear the NeatPack Canvas Sling (about $35) on your back or spin it around to your front, so you can keep an eye on it in bustling crowds. And with its breathable padded strap, it'll serve you well whether you're voyaging in hot climates or cold.

If you aren't the type to travel with everything and the kitchen sink, then the diminutive Travelon Classic Mini (about $34) may make a fine companion. Inside you'll find plenty of slots for cards as well as spaces for your precious passport and smartphone.

Whether you call it a European carry-all or a man purse, the Pacsafe Metrosafe (around $70) is a fine choice for guys who want the comfort and convenience of a crossbody without the girly flourishes. Plus, it's got all the features that protect your gear, including embedded wire mesh.

The Baggallini Everywhere (appx. $75) is so named because that's where it safely goes, thanks not only to a lightweight, water-resistant fabric, but also to the matching RFID-blocking wristlet that'll keep your credit card data secure.

Whether the Travelon Anti-Theft (around $33) is slung across your torso or the back of a chair, you can rest assured that it won't be a cinch to snatch. That's because the strap contains a stainless steel cable that prevents vacation-ruining, slash-n-grab attacks.
