Know before you buy
Yes, the Citysafe CX Mini is designed to accommodate up to a 12-inch MacBook or an 11-inch laptop. It is a compact bag, so it is best suited for slim devices rather than bulky gaming laptops.
The Roobar Style locking system allows you to lock your zipper pulls into a central anchor point. This prevents pickpockets from easily opening your bag while you are wearing it or navigating crowded areas.
The bag is made from Econyl, a high-quality recycled nylon that is durable and abrasion-resistant. While it is not fully waterproof, the material handles light rain well and is built to withstand the wear and tear of daily urban commuting.
The bag features eXomesh slashguards to prevent thieves from cutting the fabric, and the straps contain wire reinforcements to stop them from being sliced. Additionally, the RFIDsafe pockets protect your credit cards and passport from digital scanning.
At 1.6 lbs, it is lightweight and designed for agility. The straps are adjustable, though because it is a compact mini-backpack, it is best suited for carrying daily essentials rather than heavy loads for all-day hiking.
Yes, it includes a dedicated phone pocket, a pen loop, and internal pockets to keep your smaller items from settling at the bottom of the bag. It is designed to keep your essentials accessible and orderly.
