Guide Review - Secure PacSafe citysafe 100 Travel Purse
I found the citysafe 100 purse very useful during a two-week trip to Central Europe. Although I personally prefer to travel from one country to another with a bigger purse, the citysafe 100 purse was great for wandering around cities. The steel mesh in the shoulder strap and purse bottom, and the clips securing the zipper gave me a measure of security, especially in places where I was warned to watch for street thieves who slash purse shoulder straps or open purses in crowds to grab wallets. Its lightness was appreciated by the end of the day. Because it's light, it takes up little space in your suitcase.The pacsafe citysafe 100 is 10" x 10" x 4", so what you can put inside is limited. Pacsafe has larger purses, however, with the similar features. The citysafe 200 is 11" x 14" x 4" and has an outside side pocket that holds a water bottle. You could easily travel from one country to another with this one, because there's room for the passport, papers and other items you might want to stuff in for long plane rides.
