    I love both the pack and the shoes! I’ve been trying to find some nice looking hiking shoes. I’m going to check this company out!

    Oooh, I have heard of PACSAFE bags but have never read a review! I’ll definitely keep them in mind when I’m looking for a bag for travels! Thanks! 🙂

      Erika, they are great… I honestly love that I can close the zippers when I zip it up. That makes me feel so much better when I am walking around. Check them out and hope you find one that fits your needs.

    Wow, that bag is full of security features! Have not started looking at equipment for my travels yet and to be honest I would probably have forgotten all about security, but it’s really interesting to know how many security features it’s possible to get!

      Yes I think Security is important especially in your day pack because that is where you will be putting your important stuff. You are also going to be on busy streets and pick pocketing is very common in tourist areas.

    I’m already researching gear for my RTW. Some things I have figured out and others, not so much. My daypack is something I’m still undecided on. I’m wavering between using my current daypack (a black Samsonite Tectonic Medium pack) or going with a generic daypack that’s cheaper with limited or no branding. I’m aware of the awesome security features in a Pacsafe, but it’s the price that kinda makes me hesitate as it would cost just as much (if not more) than the backpack I plan to buy. However, the one thing I always think about is that I want my gear to be safe. I will be working on the road with a laptop and traveling with a micro four-thirds camera. This is why I haven’t completely eliminated the possibility of a Pacsafe either.

    I like the hiking shoes. They remind me of rock climbing shoes. I also like that they’re not so gigantic either where you feel like you’re stomping around in combat boots.

      Hi Summar, yeah I think it’s smart to research gear early on and start buying little by little. I understand what you mean about the price… trust me that is a huge deciding factor for me too when I buy anything. My thoughts are if you know you are going to use it for a a year or two and even when you are done then it will be worth it in the end. When you are on the road you are going to put lots of miles on these bags and they go through so much. It also depends on what all you are going to be traveling with. I travel with a laptop and DSLR and see you have some gear too… I want to make sure I keep them as safe as possible. As for the shoes I forgot to mention that is one of the things I love about them they are actually not big at all. They are like regular shoes and just the right size and perfect for lots of activities.

    Those PacSafe features sound pretty handy … do they make bigger sizes? I’m more of a maximalist when I travel!
