Portable Safe for Valuables
The Travel Safe 100, by PacSafe, is designed to provide peace of mind by offering affordable security to travelers who may not always have a secure place for their valuables.
The Travel Safe 100 is a compact, lightweight security pouch which is ideally sized for the protection of wallets, passports, cameras, jewelry, PDA’s, CD’s, personal electronics, or any small items you want to protect. It's a portable lockbox for your valuables.
The portability of this "safe" allows you to lock up your valuables wherever there is a stationary item to attach it to, in or out of doors. The most popular locations for use are: hotels without safes, while camping, in cars, on motorcycles, in dorm rooms, and even at home.
Here's how you use it.
Place your items into the Travel Safe. Close the bag, by cinching the top of the pouch closed by using the stainless steel coil drawstring, which is woven into the top of the pouch.  The drawstring coil secures the bag and is kept firmly closed by a reinforced high-impact resistant polycarbonate locking system, so it can't be opened. After the bag is locked closed, you then wrap the steel coil around or through a stationary device (tree, metal frame of a bike, car seat or bed) and fastened with a hardened shackle brass padlock.
The bag's construction includes tightly woven stainless steal mesh, the patented “eXomesh” interlocking security system. The Travel Safe 100 security pouch is constructed from high-tensile, 1½ inch flexible stainless steel wire, which is laminated between two rugged, weather-resistant pieces of waterproof nylon. The inside of the Travel Safe has an additional inner canvas layer which provides added protection of the bags contents.
The Travel Safe 100 patented construction process, is designed to thwart slash-and-run and opportunistic thieves alike. Most casual thieves lurking around beaches, hotels, and other locations are looking for property they can easily pick up and walk away with. This product prevents this type of theft.
The next level of criminal is looking for valuables left inside a car, a backpack, or locked behind a door. These criminals are committed to their craft and purposfully look for items to steal. Sometimes they use two simple “tools of the trade,” a knife or a simple screwdriver, which are easy to hide inside a pocket. Both can facilitate entry into a wide variety of bags, backpacks, doors, or even cars within a few seconds. The Pac-Safe Travel Safe 100 also provides protection from this type of thief by providing an added layer of protection between them and your valuables. A thief using a screwdriver on the Travel Safe 100 would be hard pressed to open it, and it's virtually impossible to open with a standard knife.
No security system is completely thief proof. You could possibly get into this pouch given a pair or bolt cutters, a hammer and time. However, the majority of thieves don't carry suspicion alerting bolt cutters and hammers.
Where to use the Travel Safe
The Travel Safe can be used anywhere that opportunistic theft is a risk. These are some of the most popular.
Hotel Rooms
If you stay in a hotel which does not have a room safe, or you do not want to pay the additional charge to use the in-room safe, what  do you do? Some travelers use the security deposit box at the front desk, but many simply do not want to bother.
Many travelers simply “hide” their items of value where they think a thief or a “Thieving Maid” would not find them. Unfortunately, most people who have stolen before know the most common places that travelers use to hide property. This is where the Travel Safe works best. You simply secure your items in the Travel Safe and secure it to any number of stationary locations within a hotel room. Some travelers have locked the Travel Safe around a hotel door handle or radiator pipe, and then hung a towel over it so no one would be the wiser. Others have locked it to a metal desk or table and covered in with a piece of clothing. Other locations have included wrapping it around the sink pipes or clothes rod.
Motorcycles
You rent a motorcycle while traveling, are simply  out for a day trip, or are a courier, where do you secure your valuables if you don’t want to carry them? If you have locking saddle bags, they help, but the locks are not very sturdy. If the saddle bags are leather, they are easily slashed. The Travel Safe is simply locked to the bike frame.
In Cars
 Rental cars and convertibles are easy targets for thieves to steal property. The Travel Safe solves the problem by allowing you to secure the Safe to the inside hinge of the car trunk or under the car seat to the frame bracket.
Boats – Personal Water Craft
Going to the boat dock to pick up a few items, or to have lunch on land? Use the Travel Safe to lock up your property.
At Campgrounds
Going to take a shower or go for a hike? Don’t think hiding your property will do the trick. Secure the Travel Safe 100 around a tree or stationary object.
Pools
Are staying at a large resort in a destination that is prone to crime? In some of these locations it is very easy for someone to enter the pool area pretending to be a guest and simply pick up someones valuables when they are away from their lounge chair. The Travel Safe is a great solution. Have you ever seen a "guest" carry away a lounge chair with a portable safe attached?
Trains, Buses and Ferries
Anyone who has traveled abroad has heard the horror stories of someone falling asleep on a train or ferry, only to wake and find some of their property stolen from gypsies or thieves. Independent travelers can now nap without worry. By locking the Travel Safe to the seats of trains, buses and ferries, helps protect your property.
Clubhouse, Gym, or Recreation Facilities
Locker room theft does happen. Here is just one headline: “New Yorkers are shedding more than extra pounds at city health clubs - they're losing credit cards, Rolexes, Palm Pilots and other valuables at an alarming rate. Burglaries in locker rooms at gyms, especially in Manhattan, have become "a very frequent occurrence," a law-enforcement official told The Post. The NYPD last week charged a 21-year-old Queens man with looting a number of lockers at a downtown New York Sports Club gym. Cops say he gained entrance with an NYSC membership card that was bought with a credit card stolen from a locker at a Midtown Bally gym. Cops are investigating more than 100 health-club burglaries in Manhattan alone since December, sources said. A simple enough reason for using the Travel Safe at the gym.
Beach
One of the most common locations where tourists are victimized is at the beach. People swim or are distracted while talking to some one, allowing just enough time for a thief to walk away with your valuables. Use the Travel Safe 100 to secure your items while surfing or snorkeling. Simply secure the safe to a tree or other stationary item.
