Pacsafe integrates security measures such as lockable zippers and cut-resistant materials to protect your belongings from opportunistic theft in crowded urban environments.
The shell fabric is water-repellent with a 1000mm rating, meaning it will keep your gear dry during light rain or a quick dash to the office. However, it is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged.
