SUMMARY: A good-looking smart-casual Bag that's close to perfect as regards a variety of storage spaces and quality of security features. Some disadvantages.MAIN PROS: Great for everyday carry (EDC) as it has good and varied storage, with inner and outer pockets, and it has both fitted organisation and plain full-width pockets that are open or have a zip. Lots of security. Options to attach extra items.MAIN CONS: The front flap is a nuisance as it opens towards you (far better would be away from you). The large nearside zipped pocket has no security except when you're wearing the Bag as your body protects it. The Bag doesn't sit upright on its own.Details below (PROS, CONS, OTHER/TIPS,and SPECS NOT GIVEN BY THE SELLER). I own(ed) the other Pacsafe bags mentioned for comparison (one is stated as not owned).PROS1. Well-designed to provide a variety of shapes and sizes to try and suit everyone's needs. The storage includes two outer fast-access poppered pockets, a full-width zip pocket right up against the body, a self-contained front pocket comprising an interior mesh pocket so you can easily see what's in it and some fitted organisation in the front pocket, plus built-in loops/clip in the main and front pocket.2. Slightly padded tablet pocket (main compartment) which takes up to a 10 inch tablet inside a hard case.3. RFID-blocking pocket - full-width (unlike restricted width as in some Pacsafe bags), and I particularly like that it's in the main compartment i.e. closest to my body so it feels more secure, and also in the most easily undo-able section. Pacsafe says it blocks 10 MHz to 3 GHz, I believe it covers money cards, passports and car keys but do check that. The RFID-blocking pocket is labelled as such.4. Good security features. And on all the pockets - this is why I didn't buy Pacsafe's Vibe 200 as its two outer pockets are open at the top, do not fasten shut, and have no security whatsoever (designed for waterbottle/umbrella). Other security features are ones that have been tried and tested by customers for years: zip-clips, TurnLock - see 6. below, ExoMesh Slashguard and slashsafe carry strap [see Y ouTube for a non-Pacsafe pretend slash-and-grab theft attempt - the fabric is damaged but the metal mesh framework stays intact] plus the more recent Roobar (equals lockable zip-clip).5. You can fit a waterbottle or umbrella in the outer pockets i.e. large objects. I keep a torch in one and smaller items in the other, yet both pockets can be kept poppered shut. This makes the Bag look streamlined and security-wise keeps those items hidden.6. Carry strap for shoulder or across body, plus a fixed handle - these deal with all the carry methods. I wear it across the body, for security and to keep both hands free. (Pacsafe Citysafe LS175 needs, but does not have, a fixed handle - when a handle's missing you notice its lack.) The detachable end has a security TurnLock, which means the half-detachable strap can be put around a stationary object.7. You can attach items to zips, Roobar, carry strap's D-ring and the zip-clip just above the front pocket.8. Should be robust. I bought this Bag in black recently but have owned it in tweed grey since June 2014 (which also means I've had years exploring and using its configuration, but my tweed grey version has a zip-clip instead of the Roobar) and as the tweed grey is still in use and in good condition I believe the black version should have the same robustness. (I bought it in black for winter, tweed grey for summer, contents swappable straight into the other.)9. Detailed instruction booklet and a separate warning notice in the RFID-pocket explaining RFID.CONSA. The Bag does not sit upright on its own - it tips forward to an angle of 40 degrees.B1. The front flap opens towards you. Pacsafe's Z5 and Z6 have flaps that open away from you, giving far better accessB2. The front flap is velcro-fastened: noise undoing it draws attention where you want quiet (theatre, lecture, sermon), so I don't keep my most frequently used items in the front pocket. Actually the velcro isn't strong; if you're going to have velcro at all it should be stronger but it would be louder. The not very strong velcro is a blessing (quieter than strong velcro) and a curse (not that secure). This is why it's importan that there's zip security underneath the flap, and why it's important to use it. The front flap does help the Bag look good but I find it very annoying (see also B1) - I'd prefer no flap and just the zips as on Pacsafe's Metrosafe LS250 and the (fewer features and not currently available) VentureSafe 200.C. The nearside pocket (closest to your body) has a zip but no other security. There's not even a zip-tuck (piece of fabric that occurs in various forms on certain Pacsafe bags that stops it from being easily unzipped). Secure items to the zip, or put a cable padlock through the zip and around the Roobar, but for more convenient security than that I sewed in a lobster clasp inside this pocket (see also E. below).D. The fitted organisation doesn't extend the full-width of the front pocket, which wastes space but only a bit. This might be due to recent Pacsafe shrinkflation.E. As the Bag is tall, it could do with more built-in loops or clips. I've sewn in extra loops - if you want to do the same, the inner lining's easy for adding such sewn-in Extras.OTHER / TIPS(a) I've attached zip extenders to the zips, making them easier to use especially when wearing gloves.(b) Pacsafe's security features, and how to undo them, are well-known to thieves by now, and Pacsafe bags are loot in themselves due to their quality which ironically includes the quality of their security. If leaving your Bag alone for a while it's probably essential nowadays to join zip pulls together with a padlock, and put one through the hole in the base of the Roobar which is designed for it.(c) Despite weighing 2.607kg my very full Bag feels very manageable due to its size, shape and heft.SPECS (several points not provided by the seller; most are edited from Pacsafe)- Front pocket: 7.5cm (W) x 8cm (H) but there's an extra 1.7cm up inside above the zip track. Zips start 3cm up from the base. Pocket depth: can fit an object 2.794cm / 1.1 inch in diameter into the bottom. My measurements. When pockets are filled that last measurement reduces as items push against each other.- Phone pocket dimensions: 4.75cm (W) x 4.53cm (H), can fit an object 1 cm thick.- Empty weight: 1.23 lbs / 0.56 kg. When full my Bag weighs 2.607kg though I've been told I carry more things around than most.- Main material: 210D Nylon Full Dull Hitra, PU2000mm; Lining: 75D Polyester Herringbone Dobby, PU1000mm.- Interior lining: polyester, rip-stop nylon.- Volume: 7 litres - take as a very rough guide; Pacsafe's LS140 and Z6 states 5 litres and 6 litres respectively, but I couldn't transfer all of my LS140 contents into the Z6, due to bag configurations and stiffness of exterior fabric.- Dimensions (H x W x D): 11.42 x 9.25 x 2.76 in / 29 x 23.5 x 7 cm.- Shoulder Strap Length: (min) 13.39 inches / 34 cm; (max): 29.53 inches / 75 cm; drop height 13.4 to 29.5 inches [I can't check these measurements accurately].- Warranty: 5 years (limited; terms apply).

Why you should buy this EXCELLENT bag..... 1. Some years ago I changed a lot of money in a Balinese money-changer. En route to buy something nearby with the money we realised two young men on a motor bike were slowly following us. We grouped together and I clutched my cheap, old grey shoulder bag tight. At the shop we realised that they had burnt through the strap with a cigarette while we we were distracted and clearly meant to snatch the bag + money from my shoulder. 2. Having bought a much safer Pacsafe eXomesh bag soon after, on a bus in Ecuador, we found that someone had wriggled under our seat (!) and tried to slash his way into the bag which was by our feet. HE DIDN'T GET THROUGH! 3.We have replaced it with this LS200 bag which is better still and even better protected. It's beautifully made, has many effective security features, has a marvellous range of useful pockets, lots of space for iPad / A4 sketch book, is completely comfortable / adjustable to wear and worth every penny. A practical, usable bag that makes you feel much less vulnerable wherever you go. It even looks good on your shoulder! We wouldn't go travelling without it.

Pacsafe have done it again, a quality bag, well made and thoughtful design. I have several Pacsafe bags because they are well made, practical and secure. I have traveled all over the world with them.This one is a perfect size for being out and about, traveling and taking on board planes. It easily fits an ipad (my ipad is in a case as well but it fits here), a book, small camera etc. Deceptively spacious but at the same time small enough to be discrete. I have actually worn this bag under a coat so it cant even be seen. The LS200 for me is an excellent every day bag - mine travels with me, it can go to the office (and not look out of place), shopping etc.Looks just as good for a man or a lady.I have the pacsafe LS350 15L rucksack as well, I use the rucksack for carrying more but for most purposes the LS200 is perfect.

I am a man with a ‘thing’ for bags.This is my favourite and is the go-to for everyday. Why:-- The outside design is sleek and smart.- Pockets are plentiful, device pockets are padded and has internal loops for keys. This means everything has a place.- It seems to withstand the elements better than most.- The security features help reassure and strengthen the bag.Within the bag I carry; Tablet, phone, wallet, keys, wipes, tissues, charger, essentials (ie first aid), Water, compact umbrella, work pass, over-ear headphones and a selection of cablesIf I had the ability to keep only one bag; this is it.

I love this bag.I took it with me on a week long trip to Amsterdam and it was a godsend!Moving through airports on connecting flights was a breeze, just leave everything in the bag and quickly access your passport when you need it.I found it comfortable to wear and it is exactly the right size for me to keep daily essentials both when travelling and just when I'm going on a night out at home.It's a bit pricey but from the feel of it, this bag will take a beating and last me a very long time and protect my stuff.

I am glad I bought this LS200 bag, bought to use on holiday abroad, the built in security anti knife slash mesh, gives extra peace of mind, it is a well made and a good quality bag, not waterproof, but plenty of compartments and zip locks. It can hold pocket sized travel books, small cameras, phones, wallets, small sized tablets and water bottles etc. Not designed to carry the kitchen sink, but who wants to ? I would highly recommend this bag to others.

11.10.2018

Used on recent trip through the Caucasus. Comfortable to wear, very roomy so could take a multitude of things, including the camera and a bottle of water. Very impressed with it and the added security benefits were great for peace of mind.

I have 2 of these bags and my daughter has one also. Good strong bags. Holds plenty. RFID pocket for Cards and Passports. Slash Guard fabric, adjustable shoulder strap with steel through it. Also has a lock for the zip. Many pockets.

20.4.2018

This is a great bag with loads of safety features. It has lots of room and organisation for everything I need as an everhDay bag and it will be fab for holidays. I love the water bottle pockets which fold away when not in use.

28.5.2019

Used this round the Paris Metro recently and felt very safe. Other members of the group had their ordinary bags "dipped". The bottle holders at each end are perfect. Great piece of kit will usee not only for travelling.

20.10.2019

Us men never have enough pockets and with the Pacsafe bags we can carry our wallets, keys and other things us men carry about in a safe and secure place, these bags should last me years, go on and treat yourself.

31.5.2019

Its now been on two europe trips and I've never felt so safe.The only thing that I'll be adding to it is another clip for keys inside the main compartment but other than that its perfect.

10.12.2016

This is a well made lightweight bag that appears to be as secure as it can be. Slash proof and with built in security locks. I believe it would certainly deter opportunistic theft.

28.2.2019

I owned a slightly smaller PacSafe crossbody bag 9years ago and was pleased with the security features. Needing a bigger version now, this bag lives up to my expectations.

23.6.2019

Bought this as a gift and it was well received. Great for travelling and provided good security. Very happy with the purchase.
