Comments about PacSafe Metro 200 Secure Shoulder Bag:
I highly recommend this bag to anyone who looks for security, comfort, practicality, and easy-of-use in a bag, especially for travelers. The main reason I purchased this bag was for the security features since I travel a lot (slash proof, lockable zippers). It is durable, comfortable, and is a good size (large enough to carry my travel essentials - travelbook, boarding passes, snacks/water, camera, ipod, etc). However, this is also my Go-To bag for hiking, amusement parks, and on my on-the-go days. It has many pockets, an adjustable strap (can be a messenger or shoulder bag), built in hooks for keys, and a pocket in the back for easy access to things. This bag definitely fits my needs and I highly recommend it.

Comments about PacSafe Metro 200 Secure Shoulder Bag:
This is a terrific bag/purse for women travelers. I traveled with mine all over Central America and use it at home in the States, too. The strap has built-in wire so that it cannot be cut, and lockable zippers so you can lock the whole bag shut and to something secure, meaning you can leave it safely behind in the hotel if you don't need to take it with you or safely locked on the bus if you want to nap. It also has built-in mesh so that it can't be slashed. None of these security features are obvious and the built-in wire features are not at all uncomfortable or noticable in using the bag. While all of these security features might seem over-done to some travelers, my sister and I both felt more at ease with the added safety features. We've learned from extensive traveling that being vigilant and traveling wisely can mostly prevent problems. Even so, this bag can help decrease your chances even more and provide ease of mind.
Lastly, the bag is very comfortable to use and has a lot of pockets and organizational features. I'm very pleased with mine and would highly recommend it to anyone buying one for use both in the States and abroad. Even if you don't need the safety features, it is a great bag for organization and everyday use!

Comments about PacSafe Metro 200 Secure Shoulder Bag:
This bag will be used for vacation instead of my regular leather purse. The material seems hardy enough to go through hiking trails, day trips and shopping. It is the perfect size, not too large (like Eagle Creek Vagabond). I like the adjustable shoulder straps and the added wire mesh security, when I travel to Europe some days. It is large enough for the Sonic Impact Ipod Video Player, my Ipod, wallet, cell phones, boarding pass, etc. to be taken on the plane. The cell phone and Ipod pockets on the outside of the bag with cover flap make it easy to access them. The interior fabric is a lighter color (not black or brown) so it's easy to see inside this bag. I am happy and would recommend this

Comments about PacSafe Metro 200 Secure Shoulder Bag:
I like:
-that the flap and main compartment actually had clips which made it harder to open.
- that the strap had a clip so you could clip it around a chair or bus seat.
-that it had a hole for your ipod earphones.
-the added security of wire in the strap and wire mesh in the front and bottom of the bag.
- that it had just enough pockets of different sizes.
my only complaint is that the strap became uncomfortable over a longer period of time.

Comments about PacSafe Metro 200 Secure Shoulder Bag:
I purchased this bag to carry my wallet, phone, passport, etc. Interior is roomy & nicely lined. Pockets make things accessible. However, the security features make the bag a bit stiff. Side pockets are sized for a small umbrella, etc...water bottles will not fit as advertised.

Comments about PacSafe Metro 200 Secure Shoulder Bag:
This is a very high-quality, well-designed bag. I just wish it wasn't so heavy. Once I load it up with all the things I need on the road, it's too heavy to carry comfortably for long outings.
I would recommend it to a friend, but with that caveat.

Comments about PacSafe Metro 200 Secure Shoulder Bag:
I use this bag every time I go backpacking as a small daybag for walking around a city and also as a carry-on on flights. I like the size because it is perfect for carrying around the essentials. It is big enough to take a wallet, sunglasses, phone, camera and also a novel or guidebook. It has good safety features that allow you to walk around feeling confident that pickpockets will give up on you as it is a little too tricky to open up without knowledge and and a liitle time.(That said, it is easy for the owner to open) The only problem is the water bottle holders aren't wide enough to hold a Sigg water bottle - they only fit 500ml plastic bottles.

Comments about PacSafe Metro 200 Secure Shoulder Bag:
At one time I really loved their whole line of products - I have bought 6 different bags. I had a problem with this one in terms of the safety cord breaking through the fabric on the purse and snagging my clothes and the metal piece attaching the strap to the purse broke. Well everyone should know that they do NOT honor their warranty unless you have your original receipt and it is within 2 years of purchase. This is a higher end bag that is not worth the money! REI has many other products that are similar and companies actually stand behind their warranty. Pay for quality and a company that honors their warranty – THIS IS NOT IT!

This is a practical, well-organized bag with great safety features. It is nice to know that on buses and in crowds it cannot be slashed. I have used this bag daily during the work week for about four years and it still does not show wear. It is a great buy!

Comments about PacSafe Metro 200 Secure Shoulder Bag:
I used this for work initially which was fine. Recently, I used this bag on a 3 week trip. It was awesome. I fit my wallet, camera, a light jacket, and an umbrella in the main compartment. I loved the smaller section for my lipstick, gum, and handy wipes. Although it is plain it is actually better so it is not so flashy for thieves. It has all these ways to make sure the bag is securely closed. I felt safe even on crowded buses and in the city.
