Whether we are traveling or running errands around town, we don’t want to worry about our bags being pickpocketed or stolen. Ever since we discovered Pacsafe, we’ve been a loyal fan of their anti-theft bags and appreciate that we can enjoy peace of mind no matter where we are. They are constantly innovating their designs and here are three key features Pacsafe provides to protect your bag, belongings, and identity.
1. Protect Your Bag
LockDown Technology
Before we discovered Pacsafe, we never owned a bag that was equipped with a detachable strap that secured a bag to a fixed object. Say, for example, you are at an outdoor cafe and the only place to put your bag is on the ground next to you. Most likely you will do this as it’s the only option to dine comfortably, but it’s not the safest choice as someone could come by and snag your bag.
With Pacsafe’s detachable strap, you can steer clear of this situation from ever happening and enjoy peace of mind by securing your bag to an immovable object.

You might be asking yourself, “How does the strap detach?” Pretty easy! Well, easy for you, but not for those thieves. Pacsafe’s newest design to detach a strap is called the PopNLock Security Clip. It took us a few minutes to figure it out and we were going back and forth with the bag seeing who could unlock it first.
It can be a bit frustrating without any proper instructions (just imagine how frustrated a thief would be!), but once you pop the lock, you’ll feel like you just accomplished a huge puzzle. Once you get used to how it locks and unlocks, it will be a breeze for you.

eXomesh® Splashguard and Carrysafe® Slashguard Strap
Another common way thieves get to your belongings is by slashing your bag with a knife. They can swiftly slash your bag while your bag is on your back and steal the contents inside. They can also slash your strap and quickly snatch your bag.
To prevent this from happening, Pacsafe added the eXomesh® splashguard and Carrysafe® slashguard strap that have hidden stainless steel braided cables and wire mesh within the bag and strap.

2. Protect Your Belongings
Ok, your bag is protected, but what’s really important is your belongings inside the bag. The toughest bag in the world is nothing if it’s easy for anyone to open it. Pacsafe bags have a variety of features that safeguard your valuables.
Roobar Sport
The Roobar Sport ensures the ultimate protection against pickpockets with its three-level lock-down system. It sounds pretty complicated, but after some practice, it’s like riding a bike. Once you get the system, it’s easy for you, but difficult for the thieves.

Secure Zip Tab
The easiest way for a pickpocket to get to your belongings is to silently pull your zipper and quickly snag your valuables. With the Secure Zip Tab, this deters pickpockets as it’s pretty hard to pull the secure zipper tab swiftly with one hand. Having this simple yet effective loop will keep things safe and deceit those pesky pickpockets.

Puncture Resistant ToughZip
A few years ago I watched a YouTube video of a person demonstrating how common and simple zipper tampering was. A fearless thief can easily pry open the zipper of your bag with a common device like a pen or keys. Luckily, Pacsafe resolved this issue with the Puncture Resistant ToughZip.
3. Protect Your Identity
RFIDsafe Blocking Pockets & Material
You may be asking yourself what RFID stands for. Don’t worry, we had no clue until we discovered Pacsafe and it stands for Radio Frequency Identification. A savvy thief can skim your personal information from a distance with an RFID reader. With this device, thieves can steal your credit card and passport information. To protect your information, Pacsafe added the RFIDsafe pocket in most of their anti-theft bags.
And YES, the bags are Stylish!
We were never keen on anti-theft bags because the styles were typically geared for men, so when we discovered Pacsafe, we were happy to see that they designed anti-theft bags for women as well. We’ve grown quite the collection over the years and use different bags depending on the activity.
