Pacsafe Ranges Explained

Pacsafe Metrosafe — Urban Anti-Theft Bags

Designed for city travel, commuting, and everyday use in high-risk urban environments. The Metrosafe range includes crossbody bags, shoulder bags, and backpacks with a professional aesthetic that works in both tourist and business settings. Features include eXomesh slash-resistant panels, Carrysafe slashguard straps, and Roobar locking systems.

Pacsafe Venturesafe — Adventure Anti-Theft Packs

Built for outdoor and adventure travel where you need security without sacrificing functionality. The Venturesafe range covers daypacks, travel packs, and hip packs with the same core security features as Metrosafe but in more rugged, outdoor-oriented designs. Ideal for hiking, trekking, and travel in remote or high-risk destinations.

Pacsafe Citysafe — Everyday Carry

Pacsafe's most lifestyle-oriented range — anti-theft features in bags designed for everyday carry, shopping, and light travel. Totes, crossbody bags, and backpacks that prioritise style alongside security. Suits travellers who want security features in a bag they'll use at home as well as abroad.

Pacsafe Security Features Explained

• eXomesh: Stainless steel wire mesh bonded to the interior of the bag fabric — prevents slash-and-grab theft where a knife is used to cut through the bag
• Carrysafe slashguard straps: Steel wire reinforced shoulder and carry straps that can't be cut with a knife
• Roobar locking system: Locks zips to the bag's D-rings so they can't be opened without the combination
• Turnstop anchor: Allows the bag to be locked to a fixed object (chair, table leg, luggage rack) when left unattended
• RFID blocking: Built-in RFID-blocking pockets protect contactless cards and e-passports from wireless skimming

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Pacsafe worth the price?

For frequent travellers and anyone visiting high-risk destinations, yes. Pacsafe bags cost significantly more than standard travel bags, but the slash-resistant fabric, lockable zips, and eXomesh reinforcement provide genuine protection that standard bags don't. The cost is worth it if you're carrying expensive electronics or travelling in areas with high bag theft rates.

Where is Pacsafe made?

Pacsafe is a Swiss-founded brand now headquartered in Hong Kong, with manufacturing in Asia. The brand was established in 1998 and has been the benchmark for travel security bags for over 25 years.

Does Pacsafe have a warranty?

Yes — Pacsafe offers a limited lifetime warranty on manufacturing defects for most products. As an authorised Australian stockist, Travel Gear can assist with warranty claims. Contact us with your proof of purchase and details of the defect.

Are anti-theft bags worth it for travel?

For travel to high-pickpocket destinations — most of Europe, Southeast Asia, and South America — yes. The cost of replacing a stolen passport, cards, phone, and cash far exceeds the price of a quality anti-theft bag.
