Save Recipe

Twenty years ago when I was a college kid in France, a safety pin was a pretty good deterrent for thieves. You simply clipped your wallet to your back pack or secured the two zippers together. A money belt was a money belt.

Well, my oh my, things have changed.

In our research for our big European vacation, I learned that thieves are a little more sophisticated these days. Money belts now need RFID protection so that crooks can’t electronically lift information off your credit cards, phone, and other items with digital information. Who knew?

Bad dudes are also known to slash bags of travelers, cut purse straps, and otherwise destroy your belongings in order to get at your valuables.

While researching, I haven’t gotten too freaked out about the whole thing, but it does make me think twice about how I carry my valuables while out and about, and particularly while traveling.

Pacsafe recently sent us three different items to try out. I’m impressed and intrigued. I’ve read tons of reviews from folks who swear by the security of this luggage.

Ain’t nobody getting in there, me thinks! In fact, I had the hardest time figuring out how to undo the lock on the  bag! The zippers lock together and then they lock into that black bar underneath. It’s amazingly secure.

The bags are made of a super strong construction and they look great. They are plenty roomy without feeling bulky. FishPapa is going to put the Venturesafe 45L GII travel pack through its paces. It’s a travel back pack that can convert to a regular bag. You can hide the straps away securely and then check it like any other bag. Then when you’re ready to get moving, hoist it on your back and move along, hands free.

Since I want to avoid any back issues on the trip, I’m giving the Toursafe AT21 a run-through. It’s got the same sturdy construction, but in a rolling carry-on. It’s semi-collapsible, so you can store it easily and fit it into smaller overhead compartments.

My entire wardrobe for the trip fit easily with some room to spare. I guess that means I can go clothes shopping in Paris, right?

If you’re planning a trip and are looking to invest in sturdy, secure pieces, Pacsafe may be the brand for you. I’m really pleased with these bags and look forward to seeing how they serve us overseas.

What precautions do YOU take against theft when traveling?

  1. From the picture of your wardrobe and the list of what you packed, it looks like a lot of clothes. I know you were gone a long while, but would you feel comfortable with less clothing? My husband and I have gone on several Winter river cruises and the luggage was carried for us; in addition, we unpack only once rather every day or every several days. I find that I take more than enough (too much) clothing, and we send out underwear and socks for laundering. I personally want to take less clothing on our next trip to Europe which will be independent. Your posts are very helpful to us in our planning the trip. Thank you.

  2. I’d love to hear how they performed after they’ve been through your long trip. Did any of the features break or were any of them annoying?

    1. Everything worked really well. My bag (the one with the wheels) was probably packed more fully than my husband’s and it started to bulge at the seam right in the middle, but that may have been because it was too full. I think it’s perfect for a smaller trip. (I had a lot of clothes in it.)

  3. Because we often have to leave items that are valuable but not can’t-live-without-it essential in a hotel room, we take the Pacsafe 120 anti-theft backpack protector and a motion-sensitive luggage alarm. We typically lock the luggage down in some out the way place like the top shelf of the closet so that any staff won’t accidentally bump it and set off the alarm.
