Pacsafe: Anti-Theft Bags, Backpacks and Wallets
The Travel Club is an official retailer of Pacsafe, the anti-theft travel gear brand founded in 1998 by two Australian travelers. Pacsafe builds security into the bag itself, with features like slash-resistant materials, lockable zippers and RFID-blocking pockets, so your phone, passport and cards stay with you through a packed commute or a busy airport terminal. Features differ by model. Every Pacsafe PH purchase is officially sourced, with after-sales handled locally through our Repair Hub.
Buying Guide
What makes a Pacsafe bag anti-theft?
A Pacsafe bag is anti-theft because its security is built into the materials and hardware, not added on. Depending on the model, that can include eXomesh®, a stainless steel wire mesh that guards against slash-and-grab theft. Other features are cut-resistant straps, zipper pullers that lock down against pickpockets, and RFIDsafe™ blocking pockets that shield passports and cards from unwanted scans. Check each listing for its exact features.
Which Pacsafe bag fits the way you travel?
The right Pacsafe bag depends on what you carry most: a crossbody bag for travel-day documents, a belt bag for hands-free sightseeing, a backpack for laptops and day trips, and a wallet for RFID protection in any bag. Use the table to shortlist, then check capacity and laptop-sleeve size on each product page.
| Bag type | Best for | Models at The Travel Club |
|---|---|---|
| Pacsafe crossbody bag | Keeping your passport, phone and boarding pass in front of you on travel days and commutes | Citysafe CX (2.4L and 5L), Vibe 150 (2.5L), Metrosafe LS100 (3L), Metrosafe LS150 (7L), Vibe 325 (10L), W Crossbody, W 3-in-1 Crossbody |
| Pacsafe belt bag | Hands-free sightseeing, festivals and crowded markets | Eco Beltbag (3.5L), Vibe 100 Beltbag (4L) |

| Pacsafe wallet | RFID-blocking protection for your cards, whichever bag you carry | Citysafe CX Wallet |
Is Pacsafe waterproof?
No, Pacsafe bags are water-resistant, not waterproof. Many use recycled materials such as rPET polyester or ECONYL® regenerated nylon with a water-repellent finish, depending on the model, and styles such as the Citysafe CX range and Eco Beltbag use a PFC-free finish. That finish handles a sudden downpour, but the bags aren't made to be submerged. During habagat season, keep electronics in an inner pocket or a dry bag.
Where can you buy Pacsafe in the Philippines?
The Travel Club is an official Pacsafe Philippines store, selling online at thetravelclub.ph and in The Travel Club stores, with stock varying by branch. Buying from an authorized retailer matters, because Pacsafe's warranty covers only products bought from an authorized dealer with a valid proof of purchase, such as your sales receipt. Upload your receipt to Receipt Storage after you buy, and send any repair request through our Repair Hub.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Pacsafe really stop theft?
Pacsafe bags make theft harder, but no bag can guarantee it. Slash-resistant mesh, cut-resistant straps and lockable zippers are designed to defeat the quick grab, slash or pickpocket attempt that opportunistic theft depends on. That buys you time and pushes a thief toward an easier target. Pair your bag with good habits: wear it in front of you on a packed MRT ride or in a busy terminal, and keep it zipped.
Does Pacsafe have a warranty in the Philippines?
Yes, Pacsafe bags bought from an authorized retailer like The Travel Club carry Pacsafe's manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Pacsafe covers bags for five years, and accessories, including wallets, for two years from the date of purchase, as long as you have your original proof of purchase. Upload your receipt to our Receipt Storage page, and send warranty or repair requests through our Repair Hub.
What is RFID protection on a Pacsafe bag or wallet?
RFID protection on a Pacsafe bag or wallet means a pocket or material that stops scanners from reading the chips in your passport and contactless cards. Pacsafe's RFIDsafe™ pockets do this inside many of its bags, and a Pacsafe wallet such as the Citysafe CX Wallet protects your cards whichever bag you carry. It matters most in crowds, but it protects card data only, so pair it with lockable zippers to protect the bag itself.
Can I return Pacsafe bought online?
Yes, you can return Pacsafe bought online if it arrives damaged, defective or different from what you ordered, as long as you request a return within 30 days of receiving it. Message us through the chat icon on our site with photos and your order reference number. Items must be in original condition and packaging. Approved returns are refunded as store credit valid for one year, and we cover shipping for defective or incorrect items.
