Review on πŸŽ’ Pacsafe Metrosafe Travel Backpack with Anti-Theft Features by Chris Kidd

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great backpack but not quite theft proof

I used this bag on a recent trip to three European cities. Last time I was in Barcelona I ran into a potential pickpocket and was hoping to avoid theft and pickpocketing. I would recommend this backpack. It's lightweight, holds everything you need, and isn't that scary to open once you get the hang of it. Get some exercise before you leave. The function of attaching the bag to a table/chair/rail is great. However. Don't indulge in false security. I got through Barcelona with no problems, but a pickpocket managed to open the outer, smaller bag while we were at the Eiffel Tower. This wasn't a problem as I put important/valuable items in the inner zipped pocket of the larger compartment. But they managed to get through the castle. It happened while waiting in line for a bus tour. But honestly, with the increase in pickpockets in the tourist areas of Paris and Barcelona, overall I think this bag is a worthy deterrent. I just stood in one place for too long and got distracted. This is a great little backpack but be careful.

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • Hard to tell
