I love to travel, but I will admit: I’m not a big fan of the waist packs. It can be a challenge to find something both stylish and secure to hold my belongings. But this Travelon Messenger Bag seems to check off all the boxes. The versatile black color drops 63% from $88 to just $32 ahead of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale.

The lightweight bag measures 9 inches wide, 12.5 inches high and 3.5 inches deep. It features multiple RFID-blocking pockets, locking zippers, slash-resistant mesh panels, dual cut-resistant strap cables, adjustable straps and two water bottle slots. And if black isn’t your color, three additional colors (Hazelnut, Nutmeg and Midnight) are on sale from to $45 to $62.

The well-reviewed bag has a 4.4-star rating from nearly 10,500 shoppers. One buyer says it is great for trips, but it has also become a handy everyday bag. “I travelled in Europe with this bag and felt safe knowing the contents of my bag were secure. I loved all the locking clips and I could unhook the strap and hook it to a chair. The long strap allowed me to carry it like a crossbody. I also liked the side pockets. It fit a slim water bottle and I could easily stick my sunglasses in the side pockets. I continue to use it in my everyday life.”

Meanwhile, another reviewer loves it for its both sleek and roomy design saying: “Narrow and deep, but that’s good since it’s harder to pickpocket. Light and easy to carry. Water bottle holders seem quite small at first, but they actually unzip to fit two small bottles. This clever design keeps the purse slim and nice looking.”

Shop this bag now to be travel-ready for spring!
