Review on Secure Your Gear with Pacsafe 85L Backpack Bag Protector by Greg Mahoney

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great 10 years ago and I really enjoyed finding the grid again!

Used while hiking in Europe ten years ago and when I decided to go back to random places one of my first thoughts was to look for another. It was a pleasure to find. Opened, tinkered and everything fits again. This large size is going to be heavy, don't be surprised, but it's not a big deal considering the size of the pack it has to cover and the fact that it's part of the longevity. Very good quality but the size is the problem I found today. I opened it first and, as I said, fiddled around with it to make sure it was of the same quality as before and didn't have any defects. It was absolutely great. But today I just tried to put on my filled backpack as a test run for my upcoming trip. This is a suitcase for 85 liters, my backpack is 65 liters. No matter what I did, I couldn't get this thing to cover for him. I even swiped some of my best stuff by about a liter maybe a little more and that still made up about 2/3-3/4 of my backpack. Now I'm buying a 120l to make sure it has full coverage and assuming that's adequate as this size should do! any additional items I feel are necessary to protect them.

Pros
