Review on Secure Your Gear with Pacsafe 85L Backpack Bag Protector by David Will

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Much better than advertised

I bought this to secure my soft luggage on a long motorbike ride. I've read a lot of reviews from people saying it's bulky and uncomfortable for a backpacker, but for a motorcycle it's perfect. Any lock will only help honest people stay honest, but this one will keep sticky fingers from stealing my stuff on a whim. A common complaint that I agree with is the size of the network. I compared the dimensions to my bags where I planned to mount it on my bike etc and settled on the Pacsafe 85L. I have a 100 liter stuff sack and a second 35 liter rear sack. The 85 liter Pacsafe easily covers both bags together, attaches to the bike and still looks pretty forlorn. In some cases it's probably good to get a little more bang for your buck, but in this case I just want to know that I'm ordering something that suits my application.

Pros
  • Imported
Cons
  • Not automatic
