I am thrilled to report that this item was well received by myself as well as the travel companions of my Tour through Italy. It is perfect. the locks will keep anyone at bay, they are tricky, and require two hands, so there will be no pick pockets comng my way. To prepare for the trip I am wearing the bag a few days before hand, and it has been fine so far. The strap does not slip, it actually is quite comfy.... comes across the body, without any issues.... I wish they had it in a Camel color... but perhaps next time they will consider it. Lots of pockets to put things in, and for someone who loves to organize, this is a great asset. Also, a small light is included, which was a nice touch.  The intertior compartment is large but will keep your netbook in place....
I was able to pack my IPAD, cell phone, camera, tissues, and a few extras along with my passport, credit cards, sunglasses and such ... really a great purchase, and peace of mind. All I hear about is the pick pockets in Rome and Naples... so I didn't want to deal with a belt that calls attention.... Hope this helps others
Oh and I think someone mentioned that the velcro is tricky... they must hae revamped it, since the velcro is on the front panel in a triangle shape, keeping it away from your garments and holds the flap securely... plus there are other zippers with clever locks underneath. It is a perfect bag for those who want to travel without worrying....

Cheers!
