Pacsafe55L Backpack and Bag Protector, Silver, One Size

I really like my Pacsafe bag protector. If used for its intended purpose it will serve you well and should provide years of reliable service. So what do I mean by "intended purpose"? In a nutshell, it is intended to keep large items from being carried off by casual thieves. If you need something that will stand up to a thief armed with bolt cutters and is well versed in the art of lock picking then perhaps this is not the item for you. But if you need simple, reliable security that will provide peace of mind against the vast majority of crooks then this might be the ticket. It's great for my Jeep where I keep a bag with tools and other road hazard items in the back. The tools aren't so valuable that they need to be locked up in a safe but on the other hand I don't want to be broken down on the side of the road only to discover that some mope apparently walked off with them. With the net I can leave the top down on the Jeep and feel reasonably comfortable that the tools will still be there when I get back (and as an added bonus since they are strapped down they won't go flying in case of an accident). Just remember that if a thief has a few minutes they can reach their fingers through the holes in the net, zip open a bag, and work small-ish items out, though something bigger than maybe 4" across should't fit through the net. I guess if you really wanted to frustrate them you could make some of the holes in the net smaller by zip tying them together to make a would-be thief jump through one extra hurdle (again, keeping in mind that a seriously determined thief will still get through). Another idea would be to place your items in a bag and then put that bag inside another bag so that it couldn't easily be opened between the holes in the net. That is actually how I keep my tools. They are in a zip up bag which is then placed inside a backpack. The zipper on the bag the tools are in faces away from the opening of the backpack, so a thief would have to stick his fingers through the hole in the net, unzip the backpack, and then manipulate the other bag (ie rotate it) until he could access the zipper. And then find out that he did all that work for some really low end tools. Oh yeah, make sure that whatever the net is secured to can't be easily removed. It doesn't help to secure the net to your seat bracket if the seat can be flipped forward and the bracket opens up for them. Also, I'm not sure how it would hold up to rain as far as rust goes. I don't tend to leave the top down when I think there is a chance of rain but if it did get wet I'd be sure to dry it off really good and maybe treat it with a rush inhibitor.Another thing to consider is the lock. The net could be woven from Zeus' own chest hair and it still wouldn't matter if the lock is easily picked. My Pacsafe came with a simple padlock and one key (the picture on Amazon shows 3 so I don't know if the pic is wrong or if I got shorted). In any case that doesn't really work for my purposes. If I kept the key on my keyring it would do another family member no good if they were driving the car and needed to access the tools. Also, the key the lock came with didn't look like the kind of thing that could be easily duplicated. It would have been so much nicer if Pacsafe included a combination padlock instead. In the end I simply purchased my own combination padlock to use. Honestly, I didn't do a ton of research on locks before I purchased. I knew (a) I wanted one that would allow me to set my own code so that everyone would be able to remember it in a pinch and that (b) I wanted something a little beefier than a luggage lock but not so big that it wouldn't fit on the net. I ended up getting a lock by Desired Tools (search Amazon for B00W20V4N8) and it fits great. I don't know how this lock compares to a Master Lock or or a Schlage but again, remembering that this is to ward off casual thieves, I think it'll do a good job for me.The 55L size is enough to hold a really good sized backpack. If you have a duffel bag or something else large you might want to step up to one of the larger sizes. Mine is a typical backpack like what I used to carry my books in for school and I can actually snug the net down to its minimum size. I'd be willing to bet that this size will satisfy most customers. If you want to secure a rolling carry-on bag in your hotel room while you are out then you *may* need a larger size depending on its dimensions (and I'd keep the net in your checked luggage since they'll probably want to take it out and look at it once it goes through the carry-on x-ray at the airport). Still, it's a great piece of equipment and well worth the cost.

it is awesome when stop to shop gives you a piece of mind it is lock up. can put 2 full size helmets in it. versatile and very handy. easy to install. put mine part of it under seat so you can't yank it out. i got the smallest one and it is big , but get back in form and barely takes room once done using it.

The 120 Liter Mesh Bag is well made and good design. It's best to have the proper size for the things you want kept secure. The more snug your bags fit the easier it is to handle and carry around. Works great as a trunk safe in your car as "Smash & Grabs" become more and more frequent having the Steel Bag locked to the cargo hooks or hard points in the car prevents the swift, quick and fast theft. No criminal is going to deal with the Steel Mesh Bag and lock to risk getting caught. Stainless Steel Mesh Security Bag works best when Anchor Locked.

Pacsafe 120L Backpack and Bag Protector is large. I packed a 100L dry bag on a motorcycle trip that I didn't want to walk away when I went into a place for a bite to eat. It did the job. If someone had the tools and wanted my bag of camping stuff they could have cut the cable. It stops the spontaneous opportunistic thief from stealing your stuff. No issues/ Packs up small for storage.

If someone is truly determined this is only a deterrent, but it surely adds a level of security for the common smash and grab. I am in law enforcement and find that only on rare occasions or maybe the "professional" thief would have the tools on hand to get this out of your vehicle. I drive extended cab trucks on and off duty and regularly keep a pack of some sorts with me almost all the time and I find comfort in using it to make sure that the run of the mill "crack/meth head" does not have easy access to this. The mesh holes are I believe 4"x4" when stretched and if someone really wanted to empty the pack; pocket by pocket they could but it sure wont be as easy as smashing in a window and carrying my duffel or pack off in one easy move. It is compact when not in use and packs down to about the size of a softball. It came in handy when I had to overnight in a plane terminal with a few small carry ons. I simply locked it the airport chair beside me and slept knowing it would still be there when I awoke. Like I said early it is a deterrent and adds just a little more piece of mind knowing its in the steel mesh net versus just sitting there unattended waiting to be carted off. Great for laptop bags and larger but would not recommend for anything smaller like a purse unless the come out with something with smaller holes in the area of 2 or so inches.

Used this on my last trip. I chose the smaller unit since I only wanted to secure my backpack where I keep my laptop at the hotel when I am out and about during the day. It retains partial shape memory when not being used which makes getting it back in it's holder easy when you are packing up to leave. The only downside is sometimes not being able to find something to attach it to in your hotel room. All in all I am pleased with this purchase and would recommend it. I also use an inexpensive BLINK camera in the hotel room that pairs with the hotel wifi for a secondary security measure.

This thing is fantastic but came with the keys missing. Now I have to buy bolt cutters to remove the padlock and get my own lock for it....pretty rediculous.

Work great. Excellent quality

Per chi viaggia in moto è un prodotto quasi necessario. Per quando si lasciano borse morbide attaccate alla moto per esempio sul traghetto o comunque parcheggiata non a vista. Io lo uso anche per lasciare giubbotto e vestiario quando fa caldo. Unico neo, è arrivato senza le chiavi del lucchetto, che ho spaccato e sostituito con uno più grosso.

Muy práctico y con buen acabado cuando viajas en moto. Sirve para proteger casco, chaqueta, etc

La bolsa es imprescindible en viajes largos. La de 120 L permite meter dos cazadoras, dos pantalones y dos pares de botas perfectamente. Ademas el cable que permite agarrar la bolsa a un sitio seguro es largo y permite dejar los 2 cascos pasando el cable por la mentonera. Una adquisición fantástica que he usado por primera vez en un viaje largo de 2 semanas en la que llevaba las 3 maletas llenas. La bolsa llegó en su tiempo de envío. La bolsa Pacsafe es de una calidad muy buena, que permite sacarla y volver a meterla una vez usada en su bolsa de transporte de forma fácil y rápida. Un producto excelente que recomiendo a todos los moteros viajeros.
