Pacsafe Luggage Citysafe 200 Gii Handbag

This is a review of the Pacsafe Luggage Citysafe 200 Gii Handbag in Midnight Blue, a product I'd rate as 4 out of 5 stars. It's large enough to carry a 13" MacBook Pro, Nikon D750 with attached 16-35mm lens, another lens, batteries and cables, as well as the usual things such as a wallet, cell phone, pens, paper, small toiletries bag, and I wear it comfortably as a sling crossbody handbag. I also appreciate the lighter color interior, which makes it easier to locate smaller items within, and the large zipper at the top of the bag, which makes it easier to put in and take out large items such as a DSLR with attached lens. For me, what would make this a 5-star product would be these three changes: (1) a larger RFID pocket with a zippered closure (as it is, it's only sized to hold a passport; I cant' fit my wallet with credit cards into it, nor can I just keep my credit cards in it because there's no closure to the 3-sided pocket), (2) an adjustable snap for the area intended to hold a laptop (as it is, there's only one snap which makes the area flop open when there's no laptop in it, and (3) a better bottom, both exteriorly (extra material or studs so you're not just laying the handbag on the ground) and interiorly (slightly more padding to give the bag a little shape and sturdiness, as well as afford protection).

I own the original Citysafe 200 and it served me well but the straps were starting to fray so I had to get a new one. This one is similar in size, but the base is not wide enough so that it stands on its own. Also, they have added a padded ipad pocket instead removing the zipped pocket that I found handy before. Although they removed the hardly used card slots, they replaced it with 2 smaller side pockets.

This is one of my favorite bags for a trip. Can store an iPad and has a water bottle pocket. Washes well, hangs comfortably cross body. However I think the 200Gii may have been "updated" by Pacsafe to not have the end pocket and to have more padding as that is what I see from other vendors. This one is better, get it before it's improved out of existence

This purse made me feel so much safer throughout my trip abroad! The anti-slash water-resistant fabric, locking zippers, and especially the RFID pocket made walking in crowded cities a lot less scary. Plus, you can fit just about everything you need for the day inside (including a laptop or folder!) and adjust the strap to a comfortable length. I would definitely buy this again.

I do not like the fabric that Pacsafe is now using for the exterior of their purses. It is too thin and flimsy..Pacsafe formerly used a heavier fabric that withstood wear and friction much better than the current fabric..

This bag has huge capacity with a sort of compact appearance. It hugs the body and has loads of pockets for organizing whatever you might need on the go.

I love pacsafe purses/bags. Good price.

Wish the water bottle holder was wider. Only a thin bottle can fit in there
