We bought this as a day pack for our trip around Europe.  It is an awesome little security bag.  Holds everything you could need while you're spending the day out and around the city. I used it every day, stuffed it with all kinds of things. It's extremely durable and I know for a fact it kept me from getting pick-pocketed at least once! We were standing in the Paris train station waiting in line at a money exchange kiosk. There was someone standing to my right and slightly behind me. . . .it was strange because that was not the way the line was going and I really didn't even realize he was there until he was gone. I am POSITIVE he was trying to get into my bag that was hanging at my right hip.  But because of the security features, he didn't get a thing!  I would buy this as a gift for any friend or family embarking on a trip where they would be carrying a significant amount of money with them every day.  This bag is so worth the money.  Definitely get it.  I'm soooo glad I did!
