You would never know that this elegant and functional 17L PacSafe Women's Citysafe CX Anti Theft Backpack also has a series of security features to give you peace of mind while traveling. While Judy gave it up in favor of a 20L by Peak Design, she did it reluctantly because she wanted a bit more space. If 17L can work for you (it holds a 16" laptop!), this is a great backpack!

We downsized from our NOMATIC McKinnon 8L sling and Judy's comvertable backpack/purse to this collapsible 6L sling. It's easier to pack and smaller than both. GET THIS GEAR

This Pacsafe Daypack sizes between 8L (as a purse) to 10L as a backpack. It has all the security features we love in a PacSafe bag: zippers that snap together and a security feature that creates an extra layer of friction for a would-be thief, a clasp that connects the zipper pulls, an RFID inner pocket, and the famous strap that wraps around a stationary object that thwarts thieves from casually walking off with it.
