## Our verdict

### Reasons to buy

-   One of the best anti-theft bags in the market. Has tons of security features such as eXomesh Slashguard, puncture-resistant zippers, and a stainless-steel locking cable.
-   The main compartment opens like a suitcase which really makes packing and unpacking convenient.
-   Great back padding that is truly comfortable to use even for longer periods of time.

### Things to consider

-   Not the best shoulder straps and hip belt system you'll ever use in a bag.
-   There are some issues about the seams ripping early on.

## What reviewers said

-   "I love all the built-in security features and never worried about my backpack being slashed while traveling or anyone gaining any unsupervised access while it was on my back. It fit perfectly on all the airlines I went on in North America and Europe."
-   "Awesome bag. Just finished a 2 week trip to Europe. Was able to deplane and hit the ground running. Several people commented on the bag. The bag features most liked: side zip-allows full view of bag contents; great anti-theft features; front flap covers the zipper pulls; overall sleekness of the bag."

## Reviews from around the web

**PACSAFE REVIEW: ANTI-THEFT BAGS FOR CARRY-ON FRIENDLY TRAVEL**
[www.capturingwanderlust.com](https://www.capturingwanderlust.com/blog/anti-theft-bags-carry-on-travel-pacsafe-review)

> The fact that this bag opens like a book means that you have access to all your contents, without having to remove anything else. It's a rather uncommon, yet much-welcomed feature for a backpack of this size. The interior is rather uncomplicated, which allows for more room to pack, as well as providing versatility in how you go about it.

> It’s the perfect size for carry-on, hostels, hopping on and off trains and buses and negotiating underground stations and if you need a kip at the bus station or the airport you can secure your pack with peace of mind.
