Securtex Classic Anti-Theft Vacation Backpack

This backpack is well designed. It has great security features and the compartments are perfect. The side pockets hold water bottles well, including my 12 ounce insulated bottle. Unfortunately the hardware used in the straps is apparently not very good quality and after a month traveling in the Caribbean and taking it on boats and hiking it is badly correlated. I resorted to putting tape over the hardware to get through my trip. Great bag but I don’t recommend using in salty environments.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this backpack for many reasons. I’ve been trying to find a backpack for the last six months. Some sounded great, but when they came even though I measured them, they were very heavy and much too big to wear. Also, they did not have the safety features that this one has. I love the size and a how this fits on my back perfectly, I love how the part that is against my back has a separate case so that you can put very valuable things in it and nobody can reach in. I love how all of the zippers hook together or to the purse so that nobody can just reach up and take a zipper and pull it open. I also love how many different pockets and areas it has to put different items in. I carry lot around and this bag fits all the things that I need.

This is the 3rd backpack I've purchased in this style. It makes it very easy to switch colors. I miss the open top back pocket that my first one had, but the straps on the newer version last longer. I wish it came in red!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is second time I’ve bought this backpack and it is awesome. I used it in Europe last year and I’m headed back this fall so I ordered another one for fun in a different color. I love the pocket on the back. I keep my passport and money in there and have never had a problem with theft.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this for two upcoming European trips. I usually only carry a crossbody purse but I find sometimes I want to carry more, like a light jacket or my 35mm camera. I searched hours on line for a small backpack that had security features, in particular a place for cash and cards that was against my back when wearing it. Amazing how something that is a no-brainer to me isn't a feature in most backpacks. I love all the zipper locks on this bag and it it is just the right size. Only problem I haven't solved is finding a refillable water bottle that fits in the side pocket. A 16.9 plastic bottle fits perfectly but anything larger doesn't. It would be nice if those pockets had a pleat or elastic that allowed a somewhat larger bottle to fit.

I bought this a couple of months ago to take on my cruise! It carries all my important stuff. I don’t worry about someone getting into it. This is not a big bag but not small either. I’m putting my iPad iPods cords some meds and the securtex belt bag into it with my water bottle.
