This bag is great in terms of its street-wise security features as described by the manufacturer. The size of the bag is almost right but because of the rounded shape at the top of the bag, some storage capacity is lost.

I imagine the reason that the top of the bag has a rounded shape is because it's the strongest design for the movement of the zip. Also the bottom of the bag has a sort of slopped shape to it, which seems to be because of the strong wire that runs around the edges of the bag. The wire definitely strengthens the bag and means that it always maintains its shape. But this sloped shape at the bottom of the bag also means a little bit of space inside is lost.

On the inside of the bag there are two padded pockets, one with a smaller padded pocket attached, maybe for an mp3 player or phone. The padding is on the inside pockets of the bag which is a bit pointless as any impacts obviously would be to the outside. The design would be much better if the the padding was only incorporated into the outside shell leaving much more space inside.

Only one of the pockets is `RFIDSafe' but a pen slot has been stitched to the edge of the pocket, which means the pocket is a little bit smaller than the other. This `RFIDSafe' pocket is almost too small for a wallet but fine for a passport.
But why make this `RFIDSafe' pocket smaller when Pacsafe emphasise the value of the anti-identity theft aspect of the bag? Why not make both inside pockets `RFIDSafe'? The pen slot could have been stitched elsewhere inside the bag and so could the key clip. The position of key clip actually gets in the way a bit and also means that keys are likely to make contact with the contents of the bag with the possibility of scratching things. It would be really nice if keys could dangle into a sleeve to keep them isolated.

This bag would be perfect if there were a couple of pen holders and a key clip in a place at the side of the interior, there was less padding inside, it had two `RFIDSafe' pockets and a flat shape at the bottom. However, the Pacsafe MetroSafe 100 is almost perfect.

I bought this bag for security reasons and it does the business it is not too big and not too small just the right size to carry money and cards around in I must admit it is well constructed and it would not be easy to break into.I am pleased with it.

I had ordered the first version of this as i liked the fact that the bag had a lot of pockets for your items,but it was pacsafe metrosafe 100 G11 that arrived and for some reason there is less pockets in it then the first version but it's still a very versatile bag.

Bought this bag for a city break. I used a pacsafe backback as a day bag, but wanted my money, oyster card etc separately. It's a great size, kept purse, phone & camera in it & still had room in it. It made me feel more secure carrying my valubles.

Great bag for travelling with, can secure to chairs in restaunts, is slash proof & now RFID proof, large enough to carry valuables with you but smalll enough not to be heavy & annoying

The Pacsafe bag is just right; it’s not too big and not too small. I already have other bags, but purchased this because of its security features, the zippers have an attachment to hooks, making it really difficult to unzip. And the bag strap has lockable hooks, which are just brilliant. The bag and the strap are made of steel wire and it’s virtually impossible to cut. It is excellent for everyday use, travel and much more. You can easily fit a digital camera, passport, documents and smartphone, and still have room! A must have for travellers.

This was bought as a manbag for travelling as it looked, and is, safer than a bum bag. It is very well made. Why disappointing? Size. It needs to be about half the present size again. Also the strap could do with being about six inches longer. However if you're short and don't carry match it would be very good buy.

Looks good, is tough and just about the right size for phone, small camera, sunglasses and a few bits and bobs.

The quality of this bag is excellent, and is very nicely made. A bit small, but well worth the money.

When I saw the picture then the name of this bag thought it was going to replace the Metrosafe 100 which I purchased but find too small. But no it is the same size, what a disappointment - here was a chance for pacsafe to make one a little bigger but not as big as the 200.
