It has several comfort features such as a padded air mesh back support, padded shoulder straps and sternum strap. The VentureSafe 20L by Pacsafe is a medium, lightweight anti- theft day bag comfortable for sightseeing, walking in urban settings, or for an afternoon hike.
The Pacsafe Venture Safe 20L Daypack features (4) anti-theft features that make sure your gear stays safe and secure, whether you are walking down the Rambles is Barcelona Spain, or sitting at a sidewalk cafe, having a cup of coffee with your pack next to your chair. The following security features are built-into the Pacsafe VentureSafe 20L to help protect your contents.
Tamperproof Zippers
Both the main compartment, as well as the secondary storage pocket feature "tamperproof zippers."
The zipper lock is on a retractable elastic band that retracts underneath an elastic mesh side pocket (used to hold a water bottle on the side of the VentureSafe 20L). Once the zipper is locked down, this zipper is completely hidden from view. Even the zipper tracks feature a fabric cover to prevent the zipper from being open if snagged.
The VentureSafe 20L's secondary storage pocket is also protected by the same type of zipper security system, so that all exposed zippered compartments are protected from unauthorized entry.
The Tamperproof Zipper spring loaded clip locking down the zipper pull of the front pocket of the Venturesafe 20L. The clip is hidden from view on an elastic loop underneath the fabric flap above the zipper.
The zipper and Tamperproof Zipper security system are hidden from view under the fabric flap of the Venturesafe 20L. Note that even the zipper tracks are hidden by a fabric cover to avoid detection by thieves.
Snatchproof Anchor Clip Security System
Having zipper security is just half the battle. A thief can simply cause a distraction and your bag can be picked up while you are not paying attention to it. The VentureSafe 20L also incorporates a Snatchproof Anchor Clip Security System within the bag’s shoulder straps.
Located where the lower portion of the shoulder strap meets the daypack is a snatch-proof anchor clip. This anchor clip allows the bottom of the strap to be detached from the bag, wrapped around a stationary object, like a table leg or chair back, and secured back onto to pack. The bag is now tethered to the object and is snatch proof!
The Snatchproof Security System is cleverly built into the bottom of the VentureSafe 20L and attaches with an elastic retention cord which keeps the clip out of view.
eXomesh Slashguard Security System
The VentureSafe 20L day pack incorporates the patented PacSafe eXomesh Slashguard system, which includes a layer of stainless steel wire mesh in the lower section of the bag.
Often, the parts of the backpack that you can’t see are the most vulnerable. Some thieves are extremely brazen and use a knife or razor blade to slice open the rear or bottom of your daypack. Once the bag is sliced, they can easily use their hand to remove your valuables. Most victims rarely feel or notice the slicing. The Slashguard stops the contents of the bag from dropping out if the material is slashed.
Never heard of “bag slicers”? Simply Google the term “bag slicer pickpocket” and you will find numerous articles on people who have been victimized by these types of theft in Europe and other locations.
Slashproof Shoulder Straps
Stainless steel wire is embedded within the shoulder straps of the VentureSafe 20L pack prevents slash and grab thefts. The shoulder straps are also padded, particularly the top portion which has contact with shoulders and front chest area. The straps of the Venturesafe 20L backpack are fully adjustable and adaptable for teens to adults.
Design Features- Main Zippered Compartment
The main compartment of the VentureSafe pack is a spacious size. The internal dimensions are 19 inches tall, 12 inches wide and 7 inches deep. The large size of the main compartment can hold a variety of items including laptops, jackets, books, folders, electronic items, or other valuables.
The VentureSafe 20L's main compartment does not feature any organizational pockets, nor does it have a built-in laptop sleeve as does the larger model, the VentureSafe 25L.

The main compartment of the Pacsafe Venturesafe 20L is protected by the zipper security system to prevent unauthorized entry. Since the main pocket will usually hold the pack's most valuable items, its zipper security system is the most secure. The zipper lock is attached to a retractable elastic band sewn into the bottom side of the bag. This band retracts underneath an elastic mesh side pocket (used to hold a water bottle on the side of the VentureSafe).
Once the zipper is locked down, this zipper is completely hidden from view. Even the zipper tracks feature a fabric cover to prevent the zipper from being easily accessed or opened if snagged.
Outside Front Zippered Pocket
Facing the outside of the VentureSafe 20L is a "ready-access" pocket, which is designed to hold items that you may quickly need.
This pocket features a vertical zippered opening of 9 inches. The dimensions of the inside of the pocket are 12 inches long by 8.5 inches wide.
The depth of the pocket generally holds items 2 to 3 inches deep. This pocket is great for maps, guide books, food items, scarfs, gloves, or similar sized items.
Anyone who has had items stolen out of a daypack is keenly aware that outward pockets, worn away from the body are the very vulnerable.
That's why the VentureSafe 20L has incorporated "tamper-proof zippers" on this pocket to prevent unauthorized access.
Additionally, the zipper clip is hidden under a flap so that thieves can't see where the zipper pull is located.
Side Pockets
Sewn into each side of the Pacsafe VentureSafe 20L are elastic mesh open top pockets. These are great for holding small water bottles or other quick access items such as magazines, maps, or other items that don't require additional security.
Shoulder Straps - Fully Adjustable
The VentureSafe 20L has fully adjustable shoulder straps, which also include padded non-slip pads to keep you comfortable when supporting heavy gear.
The straps have a full range of adjustment for the petite to very tall. The pack is worn by adult and young people (usually aged 10 and up). The shoulder straps and pads were built with comfort in mind taking into consideration that it may be worn by a person sightseeing the entire day. PacSafe has built in several comfort features including:
Comfort and Design - Full Cushion Support on Back Pressure Points
The pack has extra foam padding where the human body makes contact with it, the top where the shoulders touch, the middle to support the spine, and the lower section for lower back support.
The back of the Pacsafe VentureSafe20L features a padded air mesh back support system.
This provides a breathable nylon mesh material which prevents hot air and perspiration from being trapped when worn for long periods of time.
Outside Straps
Besides the adjustable shoulder straps, the bag features a chest band when needed, as well as two additional adjustable straps for help with keeping the bag closed when packed to the gills!
Care and Washing The Venture pack is made of easy to care for 450 Denier Nylon. To clean use water and mild soap, then air dry.
