Pacsafe CX Anti-Theft Convertible Crossbody review

The Pacsafe CX Anti-Theft Convertible Crossbody ranks first because it puts every core anti-theft feature into a handbag that weighs 0.65 lbs. Pacsafe lists zipper security and cut-resistant materials against pickpockets and slashers, a cut-resistant anchor strap that loops around a fixed object so the bag cannot be lifted off a café chair, and an RFID-blocking pocket for cards and a passport. The body measures 11.0 x 10.2 x 3.2 in. and expands from 3L to 5L, and the strap detaches and tucks away so it can be carried as a smaller bag. The shell is 320D ECONYL regenerated nylon rated water resistant to 1,000mm, and Pacsafe lists a limited 5 year warranty on bags. At $99.95 it costs less than most bags here. The limits: it will not hold a laptop or tablet, and sale items cannot be returned. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test the bag.
