FAQ's

Which PacSafe model do I need?

The PacSafe is available in 4 different sizes, and are designed to fit almost every type of backpack, soft-sided wheeled luggage, and duffel bags. For maximum security, it is recommended that the correct PacSafe according to the following guidelines:

NOTE 1: The PacSafe model name is based on the maximum number of liters the model will fit to make it easier to remember volume and sizing.

NOTE 2: If the customer intends to attach gear to the outside of a pack (e.g. sleeping bag, sleeping mat, tent, etc.), then add approximately 1000 cubic inches / 16 Liters per item to the total bag / pack volume.

To calculate volume, please multiply the length, by the height by the width.

How do you fit the PacSafe to a backpack so that you can still wear the backpack?

The PacSafe secure backpack and bag protector is designed so that a Backpac k can still be worn with the PacSafe secured. When the PacSafe is attached, you will notice a piece of small plastic tubing located on the PacSafe mesh near the location of the waist harness on either side. The waist harness simply passes between the mesh where the tubing is located and the thicker draw wire before it is cinched tight.

If you want the PacSafe mesh to remain tight, it may be necessary to undo the webbing attaching the shoulder straps and feed it through the PacSafe netting. Alternatively, you can simply loosen the PacSafe net (by going down a few beads on the draw wire) until the pack sits comfortably on your back. 

What do the airlines think?

In most countries, it is perfectly acceptable to lock you gear up with your Pacsafe before checking in. If in doubt, ask the staff at the check-in counter. If traveling to/from/within the United States, we recommend that you leave the PacSafe off your luggage during air transit (or at least wait until it has been inspected and permission has been given to lock your luggage).

It should be noted that the PacSafe was originally designed as a destination product for use in accommodation, public transport, left luggage areas, trail heads, etc.

Does the wire get caught while in airport transit?

Loose lengths of webbing, straps and handles are what get caught between moving conveyor belts and conveyor drums. When a Pacsafe is correctly fitted to the correct size pack/luggage, and the draw wire is wrapped in a stowed position (fed and wrapped around itself), there are no loose pieces that can get caught by the conveyors. It's important that the Pacsafe model is fitted tightly around the bag or pack it is designed for. The Pacsafe was demonstrated to baggage handling supervisors at LAX (and other airports) with no objections raised. In fact, it was noted that the Pacsafe would reduce the potential for airport transit pilfering and luggage damage.

Note: If the PacSafe is not tight on your luggage it may get caught on other baggage - To ensure that this does not happen request a plastic bag from the airline check in counter when checking your luggage.

Read the easy to follow instructions and you will be surprised at how easy it is to pack in the storage bag.

How long does it take to put a PacSafe 140 on your pack?
