Snatchproof Anchor Clip Security System

Having zipper security is just half the battle when a thief can simply cause a distraction and pick up your bag when not being paid attention to. The VentureSafe 20L incorporates the Snatchproof Anchor Clip Security System within the bag’s shoulder straps.
Located where the shoulder strap is sewn onto a daypack, the bottom shoulder strap of the VentureSafe 20L daysafe incorporates a snatch-proof anchor clip, which allows the bottom of the strap to be detached from the bag, secured around a stationary object like a table leg or chair back.
Once clipped back onto the VentureSafe 20L, backpack you can relax while drinking your coffee without having to worry about someone walking off with your bag.
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.

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, the thief 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.
