Note the light color of the inside of the backpack/purse. That makes it easier to find things. Baggallini also has this feature.

[@NoraDunn]

I agree Lillian - it's a great feature!

[@c.greystone9825]

Can’t believe you’re a 80s girl, thought more like 90s🎉. Happy that you featured PacSafe bags. Thanks.

[@NoraDunn]

Ha ha! Thank you for the compliment. ;-)

[@c8Lorraine1]

Finally a gift I can give my son who usually complains about my choices. He will love this practical and versatile bag (he will grumpily accept it but secretly love it on his travels)

[@NoraDunn]

Ha ha! Glad you found something he'll like (even if he doesn't admit it LOL)

[@vickilindberg6336]

Thank you! As a senior with mobility issues, your info really helps. Also gave me gift ideas for younger family members.

[@NoraDunn]

Awesome - thanks Vicki!

[@MeiLee-t2v]

I do like the out-takes at the end. In a funny way, it makes me appreciate the difficulties of making such a video. It's like a Jackie Chan movie when during the closing titles, they show all the times his stunts went wrong. It makes you appreciate all the more the time it went right!

[@NoraDunn]

Ha ha - thanks! I also love seeing outtakes :-)

[@MeiLee-t2v]

So many well-thought-out and useful features. Excellent!

[@NoraDunn]

Cheers!

[@itslek]

I have been looking for a review of 21 & 29 Pacsafe and your review is the best I see. Thank you so much (and thus I have subscribed!!)..

[@NoraDunn]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@StardustOneReviews]

Just ordered the Pacsafe Vibe 100 myself, great capacity and security features, I would recommend this to anyone travel light.

[@NoraDunn]

Woohoo! I hope you love it!

[@mlb4062]

I found Pacsafe 12+ years ago and have 3 of their bags that just do not wear out! Those are great for all seasons, especially my purple sling which looks like I am wearing out the stitching!

[@NoraDunn]

Agreed - Pacsafe bags last forever!

[@anthonymaster6160]

Great video of Pacsafe products. I have and use many Pacsafe product for traveling too, including their travel clothes. Love their products. I have visited Canada many times. Love your beautiful country and people are very nice. Hello Nora, from USA. 🇨🇦🇺🇸

[@NoraDunn]

Thanks, Anthony!

[@MsMurgle]

Hey Nora, My partner and I each bought a PacSafe backpack 2 years ago because you talked about them in your newsletter. I love my pack so much!!! I have traveled with it as carry on luggage many times, and use it as my day pack every single day! Thank you for the awesome recommendation!

[@NoraDunn]

OMG That's so cool! Thanks for letting me know, Amiee! Which backpack do you have? The Venturesafe?

[@MsMurgle]

Nora, we each got a Venturesafe, but slightly different models. 25L is perfect for so many things!

[@losttravelingbackpacker3757]

I started with pac safe I think 1998 I bought the XL mesh that goes around your backpack and use that a Many times and and it worked great but then everyone will see the big wire around it so I started to throw a towel around just to hide it so people wouldn’t know I had valuables in it, I bought say 15 of their different style travel gear since I like their stuff but what I like the most is the duffel bag that with the long hard cable really secures my stuff. I’ve just put it on a little dolly and then my small day pack on top and roll it around.., I also use a little USB charger camera and I threw some paint on it to make it look like it was an old junk one so I could see who’s in my room while I’m not there and I have another little spy camera I could put it like in the drapes or something and see any one time when I spent 4 1/2 years in Central America traveling around I got a Sacco potato burlap bag and before I will get to the bus stations I will put my backpack in that burlap bag and tie. The top was just a little junk string so I would look like a local. This works wonderful two times that saved my luggage actually one time a guy hid underneath the bus and sat on my backpack burlap sack and went through everyone’s luggage. And he didn’t through mine because it was in my potato bag not a very good looking potato sack. mind you and another time my luggage was on the roof and again the guy sat on my luggage and went through all the luggage and I didn’t lose my stuff , to this day I still use my old faithful potato sack sometimes works best but I wish they made a duffel bag that was twice. The size is the largest when they have it’s not big enough for my camera gear and valuables with a larger, locking mechanism on it would be best..,and say two blocks before bus stop id cover my pack with potato sack so no at bus stop seen me doing it

[@NoraDunn]

Wow - I never thought of the potato sack strategy!

[@heythave]

Where do you get the usb charged camera from? What brand name?

[@luckyl4746]

I recently stumbled onto you. Now I'm hooked.

[@NoraDunn]

Thanks!

[@taddeojudemugagga2306]

Hello Nora, Thank you for this presentation. I like the detail you gave it. In fact, I like packsafe for it's safety features on their backpacks and other kinds of bags they got. I am also gonna go packsafe for travel gear. Thank you so much for this presentation. Taddeo from durham, North Carolina.

[@NoraDunn]

You're very welcome! I adore Pacsafe.

@@NoraDunn 🙏

[@dennissems]

Would love to see how you pack the convertible bag. I’m interested in that one. ❤

[@NoraDunn]

It's a great bag! I use it as a "purse" at my destination, so what goes into it depends on the day. If it's just a few things and/or I'm dressing up a bit, I use it as a purse. If I'm taking a few more things then I use it as a backpack. It's very versatile!

[@entrophyentrophy9562]

I think you used a backpack with wheels in a previous video I watched. Can you please tell me what that was you used? Thanks for sharing your experience and information ❤😊

[@NoraDunn]

I use many different kinds of luggage - ha! I think the one you might have spotted was this: osprey.pxf.io/0ZNevN

[@loricanner7981]

I love pacsafe! I bought the MetroLS100 or 200!I can’t remember, but I felt so safe last year in Paris and now I’m going to Ireland. I love the new convertible one. It may be my next purchase.

[@NoraDunn]

Nice one, Lori! I'm with you on loving Pacsafe (obviously lol). I've since gotten a few more bags to try out.

[@luannelillianrossiter6681]

Hi 😊 I have just checked out the packsafe bags... I love them and will be sending away for a sling bag.... cheer's for the video.... 😊👍

[@NoraDunn]

Nice! I hope you like Pacsafe as much as I do!

[@JapanTravelVlogs]

Thank you for delivering amazing vlogs every time :) I’ve been a big fan of you for a long time. I continue to check your travel vlogs and support your wonderful journey.

[@maryannpfannenstiel1526]

Really enjoyed your informative video. I thought I had found the perfect light weight rolling carry on. I am disappointed that they have No rolling carry on luggage.

[@NoraDunn]

I know. :( I hope they come back out with one....let's see!

[@michaeltonkinson2763]

Where can I find the wheeled carry-on that you recommend? I like your videos. Great information.

[@NoraDunn]

Unfortunately it has been discontinued! My new soft-sided wheeled carry-on luggage of choice is the Osprey Daylite: alnk.to/6bS98mC

[@snowbike8032]

Can the Vibe 100 be worn cross body? It would be helpful if you showed it on you in both ways. Thank you so much

[@NoraDunn]

Yes you can! I pretty much only wear it that way.

[@ocikon05]

Thanks

[@creaturecore13]

I know this is an old video but the issue keeps coming up in every video I see, the resistant slash items mean it will stand up to a toothpick and that's probably about it. All this stuff will rip instantly when a blade touches it.

[@NoraDunn]

Really? That's sad to hear. I don't believe Pacsafe's gear is that fragile, but I'll admit I don't really want to take a blade to it either, just in case - ha ha

[@creaturecore13]

@@NoraDunn Just watch the lock picking lawyers videos on slash resistant fabric. It cuts like any other fabric with a blade

[@GregoryHubbs]

Excellent review and explanation. I will buy thanks to you! Thank you. Only for women, though? Changing subject as I could not find this topic addressed in your videos and articles: How do you safeystore/hide backpack or big contents in travel home rental, hostel, etc. while visiting a museum, strutting in nice clothes, clubbing, dining, etc.? Thanks I don’t know how to hide if in a minalist

[@NoraDunn]

Hey Greg, No - Pacsafe makes stuff for everybody, not just women! Very much. I'm sure you'll find something to your taste there. One of the anti-theft features of Pacsafe is the ability to affix some of their backpacks / travel safes to immovable objects (eg: in your accommodation, or at the beach) and lock it up. Regarding clubbing etc, it depends on your personal style/fashion etc, but there are underclothes options to carry stuff you don't need to access in public. Your phone-in-front-pocket-of-skinny-jeans strategy also works! ;-)

[@GregoryHubbs]

@@NoraDunn Thank you so much for your reply. Sounds good, though I still try to be creative in hiding stuff when possible (not that always is an option). The locking option is good, and my computers won't all fit in my tight jeans while dancing (Levis, but not skinny jeans). 🙂

[@NoraDunn]

@@GregoryHubbs Ha ha - I just got a visual of you trying to stuff a laptop in the front pocket of skinny jeans 😂

[@bethmccall9254]

I want this!

[@NoraDunn]

Which one?

[@Danielle-zq7kb]

Please ask Pacsafe to make the Toursafe carryon bag again! They don’t seem to make any luggage anymore, just handbags and backpacks!

[@NoraDunn]

Tragic, I know! They stopped making it because of supply chain issues. I pleaded with them and they said they're hoping to bring it back. Stay tuned :-) In the meantime I have this one on order to try out: Osprey Daylite Carry-on Wheeled Duffel (with backpack straps too!): alnk.to/6bS98mC

[@Danielle-zq7kb]

@@NoraDunn I like Osprey stuff, but I don’t think they use the rip stop fabric - or do they?

[@NoraDunn]

@@Danielle-zq7kb Depending on the product, yes Osprey uses rip-stop fabric, but that's not the same as slash-proof, as in what Pacsafe uses.

[@annekillen7472]

8/23: Pacsafe no longer carries the convertible backpack or the 21’ wheeled carry on. Love your videos, but please replace this video with an updated one

[@NoraDunn]

Yes, unfortunately they discontinued their rolling luggage a few months ago due to supply chain issues. Thanks for the update!

[@snowbike8032]

I'm not seeing any wheeled travel bags from PacSafe on their website.

[@NoraDunn]

Sadly they discontinued their wheeled luggage. I still hope they bring it back!

[@esbs3268]

I wear prescription glasses and sunglasses. So, I am constantly switching from one to the other when I am going out and about. I would love to have quick access to them. Are there any good styles of pacsafe that have outside pockets for them?

[@NoraDunn]

Ooh - great question! Yes, a lot of their purses and small backpacks have outside pockets for such things. It boils down to your style and how much stuff you want to carry (and thus the size of bag you want). I really like the Citysafe CX Convertible Backpack because of the extra pockets and also the versatility to be a smaller purse or larger backpack.

[@ocikon05]

I HAVE TWO SUN 🕶️ GLASSES AND 2 PRESCRIPTION GLASSES SO I WONDER IF YOU THEY HAVE A CASE TO PROTECTS THEM TO BE A SMASHI IT DIAL WILL BE A GREAT IDEA SORRY ABOUT MY ENGLISH ENGLISH IS MY SECOND LANGUAGE SO PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR MY MISTAKES 😢 YOU WILL BE A GREAT IDEA I FEAR THEY HAVE THIS KIND OF PROTECTING GEAR FOR THESE GLASSES ? ?

[@Alment11]

How u keep ur bag clean and clean ur pacsafe bags when its get dirty?

[@NoraDunn]

I've been able to keep them clean with just a wet cloth when needed.

[@jennyslavis375]

When going through TSA line , do they open the backpacks when you lock them and put them in the grey bins ?

[@NoraDunn]

They only open the bags if they see something in the xray that needs further investigation.

[@KurtRWalker]

Why did they stop making this?

[@NoraDunn]

Supply chain issues, apparently.

[@KurtRWalker]

@@NoraDunn They did, I was messaging them. Bummer, could have grabbed one while I was just in Europe. Maybe next time.

[@rochellecippa9939]

I’d prefer to see you demonstrate with the latest model backpack, not you ten year old pack. I may have purchased one if it were used in your demo. You ten year old pack is of no use to me.

[@NoraDunn]

The older pack was to show the longevity of the bag and how well it can hold up over time. If you visit the Pacsafe website you'll find a whole host of Ventursafe daypacks that are similar.

[@berousparish8471]

No more roller bags... Too bad

[@tomd4748]

Online store sold out of everything. It’s freakin weird.

[@NoraDunn]

Weird indeed! I think it's a supply chain issue. Some other similar stores are also out of stock.

[@andymarco8002]

But all the bags were very expensive

[@NoraDunn]

Comparatively speaking not so much, but they are a bit more complicated than your average bag. Good news is they last forever and can take a beating.

[@nogoogle6349]

Very pretty woman.

[@evelynd4doterra888]

Out of stock?

[@NoraDunn]

Which?

[@evelynd4doterra888]

Most you reccomend

[@orestesdd]

These luggage bags or backpacks are too expensive. I could find similar items in amazon for more than half price of many of your choices--you are just overpaying for a brand name similarly when you buy Apple products such as laptops, iPhones, tablets, etc. I would not buy any of your so-called recommendations in this video. Anyhow, thank you for your effort. 🤔

[@NoraDunn]

Thanks for your feedback. To each their own!

[@jena2664]

Great video even though it is 2 years old.
