## Our verdict

### Reasons to buy

-   Truly durable while still being lightweight for its size and capacity.
-   Has decent amount of functional pockets and sleeves for your stuff which would keep them organized during travels.
-   Tons of anti-theft features such as RFID blocking pockets, lockable zippers, and eXomesh slashguard to protect your things.
-   Comfortable and adjustable harness system.

### Things to consider

-   The laptop compartment location is suboptimal.
-   The hip belt cannot be removed nor hidden and can be quite bulky.

## Reviews from around the web

**Pacsafe Venturesafe X40 Plus Review**
[packhacker.com](https://packhacker.com/travel-gear/pacsafe/venturesafe-x40-plus/)

> If you’re looking for a secure travel backpack, the Pacsafe Venturesafe X40 Plus offers some great features, including slash-proof material and secure zippers. We’ve enjoyed just about everything on this pack...

**PACSAFE VENTURESAFE X40 REVIEW: ANTI-THEFT BACKPACK FOR VACATION?**
[www.just-wanderlust.com](https://www.just-wanderlust.com/en/reise-gadgets/pacsafe-venturesafe-x40-test-tresor-fur-den-urlaub/)

> In my Pacsafe Venturesafe X40 test in Thailand, this function in particular has proven to be incredibly practical. So, as a solo traveler, I could leave my backpack alone on the beach while I went swimming or SUP on Phuket have tried. The backpack can then at least not be stolen or cut open with simple means such as a carpet knife. If thieves want to steal the backpack, you already have to use a bolt cutter - and that's pretty noticeable in public places. The Pacsafe Venturesafe X40 is incredibly well made, has a very high quality and is ergonomically very pleasantly shaped. In my Pacsafe Venturesafe X40 test, the anti-theft backpack turned out to be a practical companion.
