First, it’s a Pacsafe bag, so the fabric, construction, and anti-theft is unmatched. Bar none.
But using this as a daily bag is frustrating at best. The horizontal configuration doesn’t work for anyone with a backside and more than a wallet to store. It shifts awkwardly while walking and accessing anything in the front or back quicker access pockets is so awkward. The front pocket hardly unzips and is tight just for keys and a transit card. I’ve tried to squeeze my iPhone in there, too and it’s jammed in and I have to focus and use force to pull it out.
The capacity is the same 12L as the Metrosafe LS 250–but the Metro’s vertical rectangle walked more comfortably, the front pocket opened much wider, had fabric sides that held in much more of what I need to grab, and I could tuck my work access pass and access it much smoother, on the go, from the Metro’s back pocket.
I’ve been using Pacsafe for at least a decade and I’ll use this bag to be safe, but every day I say how much I hate it when I have to get anything out of it. A quality, safe experience, but not a pleasant one.
