PacsafeAnti-Theft Backpack and Bag Protector 120 litres, Wire cage Protection System with Lock for Backpacks, Luggage net, Theft Protection, 85-120 litres

This does what it says - it keeps your stuff safe and sound, very secure from casual or wannabie theives. This model (PacSafe 55) is large enough for the average day-pack type rucksack - i.e. the ones usually found on people going on day trips or the average rucksack style camera bag. Personally I have a Lowepro "Orion Trekker" rucksack camera bag for my (expensive!) camera gear, which I found fitted easily into this PacSafe model, and even had enough free space for the wife's cloth shoulder bag full of her stuff as well! This PacSafe equally works well with a "normal" rucksack stuffed full of your treasures, the only thing I'd add is that the length of cable from the top of the PacSafe (when containing a smaller rucksack) can become quite lengthy, so I'd weave the spare length of cable through the PacSafe to reduce the slack and to improve the overall safety effectiveness.The only complaint (minor really) is that I would have liked to have replaced the padlock supplied (PacSafe branded, I'm not sure how secure it actually is) with a beefier model (Yale for instance) but found the shackel (i.e. the silver bit that forms the locking part) had to be thin enough to fit into the PacSafe locking mechanism.For a safety device that prevents theives from walking away with your rucksack though the lock provided is good enough (while the mesh cable of the PacSafe itself is strong enough it won't prevent determined theives using wire cutters etc. to grab your stuff anyway, so this is really a minor issue).In short, a bloody good buy!!If PacSafe read this review, the additional feed back I would give is that it was difficult to guage whether this particular model would be big enough for my camera bag (Lowepro Orion Trekker), given that I didn't know the capacity of the rucksack in litres, so some additional search/reference wizard would have helped.I'm now looking at the other range of PacSafe products, starting with their secure camera shoulder straps.:)

I used this when travelling around South America. Once you get the hang of how to put it around your bag and what best suits- it's brilliant. I felt so safe and secure and whenever I put my bag on public transport I had piece of mind no one could easily get into it. Great investment! It was thrown around for 3 months travelling and was still in perfect condition afterwards.

Any determined thief will get through the mesh or remove the lock with a a few simple tools. But thats not the purpose of this travel accessory. If you need to put your back pack down for a while whilst at a festival or hostel or even in a hotel room whilst you’re away from it for while, then this accessory will reduce the risks of theft. I have been using mine for about 13 years (on an off) it’s only showing a bit of wear on the plastic components. It’s a bit like wrestling squid or octopus to get it on a typical small medium (16 litre camera bag). I have purchased a think tank backlight18l I purchased recently, this just about fits into the 55 Litre version of this accessory,

We have yet to use this in anger, but first impressions are great; seems very sturdy and capacious. We have soft luggage for our motorbike, and the plan is to use this protector to secure the panniers if we need to leave them with the bike. It happily fits both panniers, fully loaded with 2 sets of armoured jackets, trousers, and boots (helmets stored separately).

Yes you can wrap your backpack with extra stuff in it and keep it all together. However for travelling by plane questionable. Some airlines requred from me additional wrapping with plastic because it may hook on something when processing by aircraft

A great product which I have found indispensable. As a motorcyclist it is hard to travel and have somewhere to put your gear at your destination.I can fit crash helmet, boots, jacket, jeans and gloves into a bag and put it inside my PacSafe. Sorted. A must have item/

Ordered this as it looks great. Description says it comes with a padlock and 3 keys. It has the padlock attached and locked but no sign of any keys to unlock the thing so sending back as can’t use. Waste of time & money🙂

Did the job perfectly. Travelled around SE Asia and luggage was safe at all times. Lock your luggage to your bed when you go out and it's still there when you return.

Work great. Excellent quality

I really like my Pacsafe bag protector. If used for its intended purpose it will serve you well and should provide years of reliable service. So what do I mean by "intended purpose"? In a nutshell, it is intended to keep large items from being carried off by casual thieves. If you need something that will stand up to a thief armed with bolt cutters and is well versed in the art of lock picking then perhaps this is not the item for you. But if you need simple, reliable security that will provide peace of mind against the vast majority of crooks then this might be the ticket. It's great for my Jeep where I keep a bag with tools and other road hazard items in the back. The tools aren't so valuable that they need to be locked up in a safe but on the other hand I don't want to be broken down on the side of the road only to discover that some mope apparently walked off with them. With the net I can leave the top down on the Jeep and feel reasonably comfortable that the tools will still be there when I get back (and as an added bonus since they are strapped down they won't go flying in case of an accident). Just remember that if a thief has a few minutes they can reach their fingers through the holes in the net, zip open a bag, and work small-ish items out, though something bigger than maybe 4" across should't fit through the net. I guess if you really wanted to frustrate them you could make some of the holes in the net smaller by zip tying them together to make a would-be thief jump through one extra hurdle (again, keeping in mind that a seriously determined thief will still get through). Another idea would be to place your items in a bag and then put that bag inside another bag so that it couldn't easily be opened between the holes in the net. That is actually how I keep my tools. They are in a zip up bag which is then placed inside a backpack. The zipper on the bag the tools are in faces away from the opening of the backpack, so a thief would have to stick his fingers through the hole in the net, unzip the backpack, and then manipulate the other bag (ie rotate it) until he could access the zipper. And then find out that he did all that work for some really low end tools. Oh yeah, make sure that whatever the net is secured to can't be easily removed. It doesn't help to secure the net to your seat bracket if the seat can be flipped forward and the bracket opens up for them. Also, I'm not sure how it would hold up to rain as far as rust goes. I don't tend to leave the top down when I think there is a chance of rain but if it did get wet I'd be sure to dry it off really good and maybe treat it with a rush inhibitor.Another thing to consider is the lock. The net could be woven from Zeus' own chest hair and it still wouldn't matter if the lock is easily picked. My Pacsafe came with a simple padlock and one key (the picture on Amazon shows 3 so I don't know if the pic is wrong or if I got shorted). In any case that doesn't really work for my purposes. If I kept the key on my keyring it would do another family member no good if they were driving the car and needed to access the tools. Also, the key the lock came with didn't look like the kind of thing that could be easily duplicated. It would have been so much nicer if Pacsafe included a combination padlock instead. In the end I simply purchased my own combination padlock to use. Honestly, I didn't do a ton of research on locks before I purchased. I knew (a) I wanted one that would allow me to set my own code so that everyone would be able to remember it in a pinch and that (b) I wanted something a little beefier than a luggage lock but not so big that it wouldn't fit on the net. I ended up getting a lock by Desired Tools (search Amazon for B00W20V4N8) and it fits great. I don't know how this lock compares to a Master Lock or or a Schlage but again, remembering that this is to ward off casual thieves, I think it'll do a good job for me.The 55L size is enough to hold a really good sized backpack. If you have a duffel bag or something else large you might want to step up to one of the larger sizes. Mine is a typical backpack like what I used to carry my books in for school and I can actually snug the net down to its minimum size. I'd be willing to bet that this size will satisfy most customers. If you want to secure a rolling carry-on bag in your hotel room while you are out then you *may* need a larger size depending on its dimensions (and I'd keep the net in your checked luggage since they'll probably want to take it out and look at it once it goes through the carry-on x-ray at the airport). Still, it's a great piece of equipment and well worth the cost.

La bolsa es imprescindible en viajes largos. La de 120 L permite meter dos cazadoras, dos pantalones y dos pares de botas perfectamente. Ademas el cable que permite agarrar la bolsa a un sitio seguro es largo y permite dejar los 2 cascos pasando el cable por la mentonera. Una adquisición fantástica que he usado por primera vez en un viaje largo de 2 semanas en la que llevaba las 3 maletas llenas. La bolsa llegó en su tiempo de envío. La bolsa Pacsafe es de una calidad muy buena, que permite sacarla y volver a meterla una vez usada en su bolsa de transporte de forma fácil y rápida. Un producto excelente que recomiendo a todos los moteros viajeros.
