Love it
I originally purchased the smaller Pacsafe Urban bag from REI, but after using both, I much prefer this one. The Urban bag works well, but it has only one main zippered compartment, no dedicated iPad sleeve, and no quick-access pocket for my phone if the zippers are locked.
This bag has two separate zippered compartments, which makes a big difference. I keep my iPad and keyboard securely locked in the compartment with the padded iPad sleeve, while the front compartment gives me quick access to my phone and other essentials without having to open the main section.
I use this bag every day for work when I don’t want to carry a backpack or rolling computer bag. It’s the perfect size for my iPad, keyboard, and daily essentials, allowing me to leave my laptop at home. I also think it will be an excellent travel companion.
I especially love the locking zippers for added security and the ability to wear the bag in front, which helps distribute the weight comfortably.
I’m still deciding whether to keep the smaller Urban bag or return it to REI, but this one has become my go-to. For me, it’s well worth the price, and I’ve already recommended it to several colleagues. I purchased the black one only because the blue was unavailable. Love it.
