Pacsafe® EXP 12" anti theft sling crossbody

I intend to mainly use this bag as a flight pack hence the title. I find it is the perfect size - small enough to comply with airline 'under-seat' size requirements yet large enough to hold my 12.9 inch iPad or even my 14 inch MacBook. It is very well made, has good security features and it is comfortable when fully loaded even without the shoulder pad, which I am not keen on as I think the velcro tabs sticking out make it look a little tatty. The shoulder pad also moves along the strap easily so is rarely in the right place. However the strap is wide and comfortable so I don't find that the pad is required.

The pockets are a good size and I can fit in everything for a flight (iPad, hardback book, power bank, phone, passport, wallet, water bottle, etc). All in all this is a great bag which would be perfect for me if: strap was fully removable, zip pulls didn't jingle quite so much and more colour ways were available (Navy Blue would have been my first choice).

Although comparatively expensive the bag was very well designed and gave flexibility on use when away in France and Spain. The outer pocket zip was a bit stiff to start with and the strap connector needed a bit of getting used to. The shoulder pad could be a bit more padded and have some velcro points in the strap to secure it to a single place to stop it slipping down. Interestingly although not recommended by you my 14" MacBook pro did fit albeit snugly into the back compartment when needed to be with me. In summary a well designed bag, a bit pricey for what it is and some v2 tweaks would make it perfect. Something around a secure but easy to access dedicated pocket for an iPhone would be wonderful as needed to get into the bag to get camera for photos. (would love to know what the two red loops are for one each side of the bag?) Certainly 4 out of 5.

Finally an awesome design for an all functional travel use bag. My passport , camera and daily items all just fits in.

With the safety security design it provides . I can now better enjoy the trip .

I purchased the Pacsafe® EXP 12" anti theft sling crossbody a couple of months ago to take on an extended tour of Europe this summer. Having put it through its paces in some hot, dusty, crowded places I can honestly say that it’s better than I expected. Beyond nailing the anti theft features, the design team have nailed the practical elements/aspects of the bag including its size, materials and construction . Well done!

Its been my longtime brand, durable, good lacking system and safety features that other dont have. A value on your money.
