      Comments about PacSafe CitySafe 200 Secure Shoulder Bag:

      My husband and I each own this bag. We couldn't figure out how to use the small zippered pockets on the outside. After much deliberating, we gently removed the seam between them, and now we have one large zippered outside pocket. Maps and brochures are easily stored and retrieved without opening the secure main compartment. We love our bags.

      Comments about PacSafe CitySafe 200 Secure Shoulder Bag:

      This is a fantastic product with lots of compartments for organizing. I can actually slip my 12.1" laptop in there but it's a really tight fit. Because of that, I only wish the bag was a tiny bit larger and had some padding on the bottom so I could use it as a laptop bag. But otherwise I love it and have yet to find a bag of this size that is as light and well organized ... and looks as nice.

        I used this on a trip to Venice and Florence. Very comfortable: adjustable straps. Secure. Can easily fit wallet, other docs, small umbrella, light sweater, waterbottle, camera and more for a great day bag if you don't want to carry an unsafe backpack.

          Comments about PacSafe CitySafe 200 Secure Shoulder Bag:

          Buy this bag. You will not regret it. I agree with all the positive comments from others. I use this bag for 3 main purposes:

          1. Travel--used it traveling all through Europe with the peace of mind that it can't be easily slashed. The water bottle holder is awesome.

          2. Everyday use--once I got back from Europe, I use it daily for work. It's a convenient size to fit wallets, gloves, sunglasses, cell phone, iPod, a lunch and a can of coke. It's incredible how much goes in this bag. I have put the bag through some heavy use, and there is NO sign of wear after 8 months. The fabric is very strong and stands up to abrasion.

          3. Camera case--it fits my DSLR with the 28-135 zoom lens, external speedlight, 2 pocket wizards, all the cords/filters, and still have enough room for my wallet/cell phone. The padding on the sides pad my camera nicely, and it doesn't scream "camera bag!" It's great for doing a small location portrait shoot around town.

          Comments about PacSafe CitySafe 200 Secure Shoulder Bag:

          Over spring break, I went to Las Vegas. I stayed off the strip and took the city bus to and from the strip. I never, ever was concerned about my bag or its contents, even though many of the casinos and surrounding areas were very crowded, as well as the bus in the afternoon. In fact, a few times I even forgot that I had leashed my purse to my chair in restaurants. I would remember when I would attempt to take my purse with me.

          One of my friends made the comment that my purse looked flat. I had quite a few items inside, but the internal organization is such that my purse didn't bulge.

          I plan to remove the center seam on the two outside pockets. It would have been handy to have the travel map easily accessible.

          I highly recommend this purse to anyone who is looking for safety, ease of use, and good looks.

            Comments about PacSafe CitySafe 200 Secure Shoulder Bag:

            I love the organization and feel of this bag. It's big enough to fit filing folders in it (e.g. for conferences or meetings) but doesn't seem bulky. The interior color of the taupe bag is a gorgeous turquoise blue! The internal pockets are really handy. The shoulder strap is easy to adjust and comfortable. It surprised me with how light-weight it is, even with the anti-theft features.

            For international travel it's a must! I'm using it in Mexico in a few weeks and expect to feel confident with all the security features on it. After having been in other international destinations with a purse/bag I didn't feel safe with, this will be a relief.

            As a graduate student I'm on a limited budget for accessories, but I would highly recommend this as a solid investment.

              I love using this for travelling. I like the inside pockets for easy pull-out of camera and cellphone. I usually carry a packable jacket, GPS, mini-tripod, wallet, coin purse. On the side I carry my water bottle. I also like the feature where you can unlatch one end of the strap and wrap it around a post or something to keep it secure while you are eating.

              Comments about PacSafe CitySafe 200 Secure Shoulder Bag:

              This bag is a great value. I bought it based on the reviews and it's appearance. It looks very much like a purse I would carry on a daily basis. I used it on a recent family trip to Washington, DC and raved about it during the entire trip - so much so that my husband reminded me I'd told him several times.

              Visiting the monuments and museums in DC, there are several security check points and this bag made those experiences much easier. When the purse is open, the contents can be viewed easily. When accessing for personal use, contents are easily found.

              The inner pockets were such that I did not need to carry a wallet. The outer pockets were great for easy access to a Metro Card and a water bottle, as well as small maps.

              I felt the bag was secure when dining or sightseeing. The strap has a security latch that is easy to operate. The strap is also adjustable to fit your body and preferred method of carrying.

              I chose the dark taupe color but didn't expect it to be so dark. It worked well with my clothing, though, appearing to be a dark chocolate color. I will order the black for an upcoming return trip to Washington, DC. This upcoming trip is more of a business trip than the other one and I am confident the bag will work with my suits.

              I used this bag for the first time on a short(er) trip to Florida just for fun for my husband's birthday. Overall opinion, its great. The bag screening of your carry-on will take longer, though, because of the wire and mesh inside. but still, I wasn't stopped. The deep taupe is definitely a brown. I don't necessarily call that a con, though. It's got this light bright blue lining, that was a huge pleasant surprise. It's really cute. Lots of pockets, I actually had room for more stuff! Careful though, since it's got so many nooks and crannies, it can get really heavy. The water bottle holder is too small for a long-term use bottle, but I had enough room inside to stick it in there. it's only big enough for maybe a disposable plastic bottle, if that. It has elastic that stretches inside that pocket to expand, but it just doesn't go big enough for me. The Florida trip was a trial for my next couple of overseas trips, and I am highly optimistic. I used it as a purse/day bag the whole time. You won't even think of the price after you've used it once.
