Customer Reviews Pacsafe CitySafe™ 400 GII Anti-Theft Hobo Bag

This is the bag I have been waiting for Pacsafe to design! I have several of their products but have found that previous totes and handbags are not wide enough to accommodate my gear when used as a day bag. This is a large bag which can be worn as a shoulder bag or cross body bag. I like that while it has internal pockets it is not filled with lots of little slots which usually prove to never fit what I have. This bag will easily hold everything I need as a day bag including my large camera and extra lens. It could be a good carry-on or it will compress to easily pack in my duffel. The walnut is a bit darker than pictured but still a great color for travel. Looking forward to trying out this bag on an upcoming trip.

I really like it so far. I use it primarily for travel and my 13" Macbook Pro fits just fine in the padded area. I can comfortably move/run through the airport with it and then it serves well once I arrive at my destination as my "brief case/purse." I do wish there was an easy access pocket on the front for those of us who still end up with paper boarding passes sometimes. More convenient to get in and out of while walking than a backpack. Great security features too. I want more Pacsafe products now!

On my friends' advice (and after seeing her Hobo Bag) I got this for a 10 day overseas trip. I love it! While traveling through airports I used it as my personal item. It had room to spare for everything I wanted to carry with me while on the flights and fit under the airplane seat. Once settled I used it to carry things while attending conference classes and navigating the sightseeing excursions. Now I use it whenever I am going on a short day trip, out all day shopping or on a overnight trip by plane trains or automobiles but don't want to use a daypack. I like the arrangement of the pockets and the anti-theft features. My only complaint was when fully loaded with heavy stuff the strap rubbed on my shoulder. But I rearranged some items and that seemed to take care of the load stress.

Beautiful bag, thoughtfully designed. I love it's plainness -- I refuse to advertise brand names as I walk around. The bag is really, really large. The only color that shows it w a person is the purple color --do look at that, and be sure you like the size. I use it for all my swimming gear (including snorkel!) and have plenty of room.

This bag is huge! Great color. Lots of space for every thing. Not kidding. Easy to carry with the cross over strap. Plus it's lightweight. Great for quick trips. Anti-theft is an added bonus.

Bought this bag for trip to Italy. Worked great. Enough room to carry all my essentials and a jacket. And some of my kids stuff, too. The locking zippers are perfect...felt secure throughout the trip, never worried about pick pockets.

I've been a huge fan of Pacsafe for several years, being on my third or fourth city safe 200 bag for commuting purposes. (They're rather durable, but every few years I tend to smear a lipstick or a coffee on the inside liner and then I just need to get a new one!) I had been eyeing this hobo for awhile, but not quite sure how I'd justify it. I finally bought it, and while I don't use it everyday, it's indispensable when going on trips -- I actually use it as my "bag" along with my carry-on on a plane and with all the pockets, it fits everything I need!

I have been using this bag now for almost a year and I love it. I use it as an all purpose bag. I call this my magic bag because it will hold everything! I carry diapers, bottles, diaper wipes, iPad, folders, large wallet, extra clothes, sweaters, camera, iPhone, moisturizer, hand sanitizer, makeup, etc. I have traveled to Hawaii with it and am planning to use it this summer in Europe. I wear it cross body and it is very comfortable with all the stuff I lug around on a daily basis. Every now and then I shorten the straps in order to hang it on the stroller. There are three lengths to choose from. I have tethered the straps to a chair for safety and felt totally at ease. The side pockets hold big bottles of water and have a little hole on the bottom to drain any leaks. I have the black color which hides dirt and have been caught in the rain and had no problems with water absorption. When I bought this bag it was on sale but I would buy it again at this price because it is totally worth the money. Do not hesitate to buy this bag! I do wish there was a way to secure the outside zippered compartment with a latch if you do not want to use it to hook onto a luggage handle. I usually use it to store diapers and wipes.

The RFID pocket is small and does not close with a zipper or a snap or anything. While you are digging for something in your backpack anyone can see your wallet and passport. Unless you clip the outer zipper to the outer clip each time (a pain), your valuables are risk which rather defeats the purpose of buying this kind of bag. Also, the zippers are generally stiff and difficult to operate.
