Great product
Took me a little while to the opening similar to a holdall but actually works really well for me. I also find it sits at optimum place on my back which is important as I have long term spinal condition.

Bought this to replace my hard-sided carry-on suitcase. I was a bit apprehensive as the was a bit less space, but it made me pack more efficiently. I am pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to carry on my back (compared to a rolling suitcase). I’ll be using this on a Europe trip later this year.
I love everything about the bag but for it not having more compartments. This bag is all it is made to be and in comparison with others of it's size which have more compartments but don't offer all the anti-theft feature Pacsafe offers,i suggest Pacsafe offer the same design but in a bigger size with more compartments.
I love the design and for it being my EDC it hasn't failed me. So, can we do an EXP4.0 may be?
We recently took a cruise from Barcelona to Lisbon. On one of the days we called at the port of Tangier in Morocco. My wife and I went with some friends we met on the cruise on a cruise sponsored shore excursion that included an afternoon in Tangier's busting Medina (market). Having been to the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, we knew what to expect and being Americans we stick out from the crowd. It's still an exhilarating experience despite being rife with challenges (one couple we met were mugged for following the wrong guy down an alleyway). Back to the PacSafe EXP35. That whole day the bag was on my back and all zippers were set without any additional locks to tie down. As we walked through crowds, and in one case a faster walking gathering of men in their 20s came up from behind, I could feel tugs on the zippers like scavenger fish tugging on the flesh of a dead fish. I would turn around and(not the smallest guy on the planet) and they would break eye contact and fall away. Had I used my old traditional back pack they could potentially have grabbed my wallet, MacBook, or iPad, the latter two I hardly ever leave back on the ship. This bag is awesome. There is no other word to describe it. The locals met there match with PacSafe.
This bag was great for the trip. The shoe storage at the bottom is a space saver. I think a model that excluded this feature would also make a great smaller pack.
