Pacsafe® LS200 anti-theft crossbody bag

This bag is the best bag I bought from Pacsafe (my eight!). It is large enough for wallet, paperback, little shopping with large zip at the back for bus pass, separate easy access front for house keys and two pockets outside: one for a wet umbrella and one for a leaky water bottle. But, it is small enough to sit comfortably on my lap when on a bus or at a coffee shop. A a bright colour too, deterring thieves. Definitely worth every penny.

It's a lovely bag, will fit everything I need on the go. One thing I would improve is providing some strap padding as it can dig into the shoulder as with any crossbody, however not everyone is a fan of those so not deducting any stars for this. Anti theft features, as always, are excellent.

I purchased this bag as a Christmas gift for someone who is going on a trip in March 2025 and I wanted to give her something that had additional security features. This bag is extremely well made, the multitude of pockets/sections will carry everything you need. It's the perfect size and it's also very light weight. A true must have if you have travel plans or just as a daily handbag. My only criticism is I wish they had more colors...perhaps a red, true dark navy, white, khaki.

Very well designed.

My wife bought new bag as original LS200 (at least 5 years old, daily worn and travelled with), was showing (limited) signs of its extended use.

Although I consider the original bag bomb-proof in terms of materials and construction, it was becoming discolored internally and was impervious to cleaning - looked a bit off.

I immediately noticed 'changes' in the new bag.

- It felt lighter / made of thinner materials, only time will tell if this is a cosmetic observation or one that

will affect longevity.

- The change in design of the shoulder strap is main observation and the cause for the 4 * review.

Original strap is robust, well designed and confidence inspiring.

In comparison new strap design appears less robust and is frustrating in use.

Lighter / thinner materials - fabric and wire inserts.

Adjustment includes a 'free' end.

However, design leaves 'free' end pointing up when adjusted to suit a shoulder length hang, which when

coupled with a retaining slider that lacks 'bite' means the free end slides / falls back on itself.

Ok, its not the end of the world, but is frustrating / annoying when the original (heavier?) design - which

does not include a 'free' end, worked fine.

Maybe a weight saving change too far, or change for change sake?
