You can also use the little snaggle on the front pocket with a padlock! I have the bigger backpack and you slide the zipper under the snag, then put a padlock on the zipper and then you can’t even push it through without knowing the combination or a key, if you want extra safety!

We like the idea of that "sleeve" to put the backpack on your suitcase; that would be so nice to have with my back issues. Even though I am a guy, I think the pink (or another bright color) interior lining is a good idea--I have a hard time finding my stuff sometimes! It's too bad the smaller bag doesn't have the sleeve or water bottle pocket

I love this backpack but the mini size at 11L is still way too big for a mini backpack. In my opinion a real mini should be like the Kanken Mini (7L) or the Bobby Elle by XD Design (6.5L.) I'd love to use the Pacsafe mini while travelling, though. I'm actually about to swap my Kanken Mini for a Bobby Elle. Yesterday I saw a woman with her backpack open and two guys hot on her heels. She was about to be pickpocketed. I warned her so luckily they didn't steal anything from her but it made me want to switch to an antitheft backpack. I ordered the Bobby Elle in pink. Can't wait for it to arrive.
