Review on πŸŽ’ Secure Your Journey with PacSafe Venturesafe Anti Theft Adventure Ergonomic Backpack by Branden Type

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Why not forklifts, Pacsafe? Light interior please?

Purchased from REI with a 20% discount coupon. The bag itself is pretty cute. The long body/slim profile allows for more flexibility and mobility with a backpack and doesn't look like a turtle shell when full. The side hip straps take the weight off the shoulders well and the internal frame keeps the weight of the pack and structure off the back, leaving room for cooling. It seems to fit both a smaller and a larger person. The main compartment of the bag is designed for top loading only. It has good side mesh pockets, a front compartment with organizer, an RFID pocket and a top lid compartment with security pocket. 30L is also enough for a night hike with moderate ultralight equipment, so it replaces my 30L travel bag. One star for two things that could be slightly improved is enough to convince you to upgrade: 1. There are no forklifts in the backpack, although it does have a good, solid waist belt. That looks like a big mistake, Packsafe.2. The inner lining could have been a lighter color. Having used packs like the Osprey with a bright neon green interior and another bag with a bright orange interior, I can say that interior space is a big deal. The X30 has a uniform '90s matte gray interior that's more reminiscent of the old days than the sleek modern exterior. MUCH happier with how the backpack looks now. Plus, it's now easier to see in the dark! :)
