Pacsafe® V 12L Anti-Theft Tech Backpack

I used this backpack throughout my trip to Grand Teton and Yellowstone, and I’m very happy with it. The 12L size is just right for a day trip. The wider bottom easily holds a jacket, while there is still plenty of room for a water bottle, snacks, and other essentials.

The shoulder, chest, and waist straps keep the backpack comfortably close to my back, even after hours of walking. I also really appreciate the clever locking zipper design and the added anti-theft protection. In crowded places, I can wear it on my back and still feel secure.

It is compact, comfortable, thoughtfully designed, and very practical. Thank you, Pacsafe, for making such a great travel backpack!

Great looking pack. I will be testing it shortly on an overseas trip.

I'm happy that Pacsafe made a 12L backpack this time instead of a sling (slings larger than 8L messes up my shoulder and back). After using this for a trip, I noticed some downsides though.

The front pocket not going all the way down was a wasted potential feature. It would have been great to put more stuff in there. The inner pockets were useful for small things though. When full, the bottom back looks collapsed because of this. Makes the bag look kind of ugly. Nothing like the marketing photos.

Attachment points near the side pockets like on my ECO 18L would have been useful to secure my water bottle's handle to when in the pocket. My bottle slipped out of the side pocket and I needed to buy a new one during my trip.

The straps keep getting loose and needed daily adjustment which has been fairly typical of all my Pacsafe backpacks. I wonder if they'll ever fix this ongoing issue.
