Pacsafe Anti-Theft Backpack/Bag Protector
Available Colors / Styles
Detail Views
Secure the Pacsafe Backpack/Bag Protector around your backpack and protect your pack from tampering and theft. Using eXomesh Ultimate security technology, the Pacsafe has an adjustable high-tensile stainless steel locking device that covers your entire pack and locks to a stationary object while you're in a train station or on the bus. Pacsafe's locking device is made from high-impact resistant polycarbonate, and your pack's waist harness and shoulder straps are accessible while this protection is on. The padlock and a carry pouch are included with this Bag Protector, so you'll be ready to secure your luggage on your next overseas or US backpacking adventure. Choose from four different Backpack Protector sizes.
Bottom Line: Wrap PacSafe's Backpack/Bag Protector around your pack and keep greedy, pick pocketing hands out.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.
While the protector is on the bag, can you wear the backpack?

Not unless you can un-attach/reattach your shoulder straps; otherwise they'll be pinned down to the pack. Adjusting your straps probably takes about as long as it does to take off the protector, so you may as well. More comfy without it too, I imagine.

Great product for giving you extra peace of mind while leaving your bag unattended in your room, on a bus, boat, train, etc... Obviously, a thief armed with proper cutters and enough time can defeat a Pacsafe. However, a casual thief, housekeeper, etc. interested in quickly rifling through your bag will be deterred.The best way to use this is to put your backpack in a duffel first. Prevents damage to an expensive backpack and leaves only one zipper to worry about.The only way I can think of to improve the Pacsafe is to replace the keyed lock with a combo lock. No keys to worry about losing.

How large are the meshes holes? I would like to lock up a bulky jacket and boots and want to make sure they can't fit between the mesh.

Boots should be no problem. The jacket would depend on which size you bought and how much you spread it out. If it's tight enough and you spread the jacket out it would be safe.

this would work for that okay, but a better item may be the StuffSafe, also available at BC.com. It has a fabric lining that will greatly help in getting your items out of the sack and prevent others from seeing exactly what you have in there.

85 will be perfect and allow you to lock other stuff under the Pacsafe.

For anyone doing any backpacking this is a must buy. The ability to leave your bag safely in a hostel or an airport is a godsend. I've even taken to using it around my camera bag in my car if I'm in an area that I don't trust. Just make sure you lock it down to something secure.

Hi Meghan,
The PacSafe 75L will work for you with this pack. It is nice to have some extra room incase you have things on the outside of the pack.

Can you change the lock on the Pacsafe to a TSA certified one
Can you change the lock on the Pacsafe to a TSA certified one or do you need to use the one it comes with?

It just uses a standard lock so anything with a small enough arm would be fine.

This bag protector was a last minute purchase before my trip, and it's the best thing I bought. It goes a long way in the peace of mind dept. I can be out and about without having to worry about having my bag stolen because this protector can be lashed around a stationary object (a bed, a pipe sticking out of the wall, etc.), making it nearly impossible to steal. My advice is to buy a duffel bag or the like to put your pack in before putting it inside the PacSafe to avoid unnecessary wear on your pack. The metal mesh causes a lot of friction. Overall an excellent purchase despite the price!

You could also use a large trash bag, saves space compared to carrying a duffel bag.
What is the stretched out size of these safes? I want to use
What is the stretched out size of these safes? I want to use it to protect a lot of gear carried on a bicycle trailer. This is an open trailer and without a cover or fitted box or bag for it. So we would prefer something that wrapped the whole way around but fit down into the trailer sides which are open too but do have metal tubes going around forming something of a box. Perfect to tie this safe to with carabiners. We might make our own lightweight waterproof nylon bag to keep things safe and out of site both. But will have awkward lengths of tent and sleeping mats. Some food items. Will have bike panniers on two other bikes which would be nice to put on the trailer for safe keeping when we are away from the bikes too. So what it actually stretches out to would be helpful. We could make do with it stretched out just to cover the top but would be nicer if it went all the way around. Our trailer is about 34-36 in length and 27 wide at the top of the slanted sides. A bit smaller at the bottom floor. What we put on it will determine the height.

It might fit but it would be a major pain to put on. The stretched size doesn't matter as much as the size of the entry point.

While I was in New Zealand recently, I saw an excellant wire(?) mesh bag that went around the backpack, so that you could check your pack on the airplane and it would not get caught in the equipment. It encased the bag and locked. Anyone have any experience with something like this? Any idea where to get one? (Or what it is called?) Is it worth the money?

Pac Safe is the name. You can get them on the backcountry website, just find the right size. Yes, they are worth money. It is a great investment when travelling somewhere sketchy. You can also keep the pacsafe on your pack while hiking, so for train or funky bus travel it is great. The only thing that sucks is trying to put it back into the little bag it comes with. This is absolutly doable, but it will take a little practice.

The smallest size the pacsafe comes in is 55, right? Well, I have a 48L hiking pack which I would consider locking with the pacsafe 55, but will the mesh protector still work with something smaller?
