PacsafeMetrosafe X Anti Theft Sling Pack

Quality and value. The sling model is a convenient design that has gained popularity with travelers. Roomy yet comfortable to wear.

I bought this bag for my next trip, the city is full of pickpockets. Normally I always use cab but this time planning to use public transport so bought this bag to keep my wallet and cell phones safe. Quality seems great price, better be with this price.

The 5 liter capacity is larger than a fanny pack, but smaller than a bookpack. As a cross chest bag it fits slim, and is unobtrusive. When having lunch at sidewalk cafes' in europe I could comfortably wear the bag while eating. It fits well under a windbreaker. The exterior locking zippers are secure, and the interior zippered compartments are simple and easy to use. The strap has secure steel cables sewn in so it can't be cut. The unique mechanism that locks the strap to the bag is very secure. When I first got the bag it was necessary to study the instruction manual for the 3 step locking mechanism and practice for 6 to 7 minutes before the process became automatic. Be patient. It only seems awkward the first 4 to 5 times you use it. The 3 step process for fastening/unfastening the strap makes it VERY difficult for a thief to tamper with.

Went to Italy for 10 days and was worried about pick pockets. This is basically a small man purse (I'm a dude and my wife wouldn't be caught dead wearing this I think?). It's cross body and has lots of security features which I used. I put all kinds of stuff in it... passports, meds, sun glasses, credit cards, my phone...etc. It even (barely) fit my IPad on the plane. and charging cables. It was good in the airports and train stations but too bulky for walking around the streets of Europe. Get this AND a smaller crossbody like the "Pacsafe GO"

Bought this after reading stories about pretty theft in Paris with pickpockets.Bag is lightweight and fairly non intrusive. Wears across the body and kept in front. Locks are difficult to open for a pickpocket but easy enough for you to access your wallet and phone when needed after familiarizing yourself when the mechanism.

Bought this for an overseas trip. It is a great size when you’re out and about, and the security mechanism is easy to maneuver when worn.

While I do not intend to test the safety mechanisms myself they are true to the description and more reliable than expected. The bag is also fairly nondescript so it isn't announcing whether or not the contents are worth testing it to unsavory audiences. I was expecting somewhat more euro travel chic and got what looks like a hybrid between a Patagonia/Kavu and a promotional sportpack. There is nice internal organization but the main cavity is not suited to anything with corners because of the shape. Overall it is great for incognito but you may not win any fashion points and despite the protection feels light which makes it feel cheap. This is a sore point when you think about what it cost, so keep reminding yourself it's tough and really safe. Lastly it is much better suited to front carry than over the shoulder, which isn't really me, but I'll make it work.

great for travel, good size for man,
