Pacsafe

Pacsafe makes travel security gear: bags, backpacks and suitcases built to put off thieves. The label was founded in 1998 by Rob Schlipper and Magnus McGlashan, who got the idea while travelling in South America, where they saw chicken wire wrapped around bags to protect them. Not long after, they developed Exomesh, a cut-resistant wire cage system, and used it in the Pacsafe 85L.

The range now includes RFID-blocking pockets to stop cards being read without contact, steel cables hidden in the bag so straps can't be cut and bodies can't be slit open, and zippers that need two hands and have an extra safety button. Carabiners with a safety lock stop the bag being released quickly. Patented lockable zippers are part of the line-up too.
