Pacsafe DailySafe B100 Anti-theft Backpack - Review

Treasured Travels



Pacsafe DailySafe B100

Move over, fanny packs. Now there's a sturdier, more stylish alternative to protecting your highly sought-after valuables. Pacsafe's line of travel equipment is made with exomesh — a thick wire mesh woven together with stainless steel cables and crimps — which helps make their gear both slashproof and tamperproof. The company offers a line of various items for nearly every type of traveler, from the business-savvy (laptop cases and camera cases); the tourist (portable safes and backpacks), to those seeking basic necessities (anti theft wallets as well as lockable cases to help secure your iPod).

We tried their sleek-looking DailySafe B100 backpack, which measured in at a modest height of about 15 inches, yet was big enough to carry the most treasured of valuables. Equipped with thick zippers, it makes it difficult for pickpockets to reach into. Its durable anchor locks and slashproof padded shoulder straps help it feel more secure to lock up and latch on to a sturdy fixture, such as a desk. Inside, an assortment of small compartments helps to store smaller items safely. A hidden keyring holder and zippered pocket allow for hidden yet easier access, while outer pockets provide a convenient place for storing those not-so-nearly-valuable items.
