Safety bags ordered don't work for me. 1st time in Europe &amp; wondering if this bag has pickpocket/theft features?

No. But both strong velcro and straps should keep your contents safe. I will be using it in France in June.

Yes you may use that with Check bags.TSA has master keys to open it,if they need to.you can keep your key.

The pack is NOT theft proof...a quick push of a button releases the locking brace. BUT...it is designed for just that ease of release, because it has a handle and shoulder strap option so that instead of taking your stuff out of the pack to go into 'work,' etc., you just easily/conveniently carry the pack in with you.

Hi there. Europe sounds like a lot of fun! Here's the deal with this product as I see it. Good space, good comfort. Lots of pockets for your essentials. The problem as I see it is that there is no bottom zipper to get to the goodies you may store there. There is a mid range pocket that I suppose was made to take the place of the bottom entrance, but in my opinion is not as good. Again, good space and weight distribution for 2 week excursions, maybe a little more if clean clothes are not your priority. Hope this helps. Hit me up if you have any other questions.

Just an add-on to my previous answer: I purchased another Billingham camera bag at Harrods in London and didn't receive a Billingham box or special cloth bag there either.....

Hi tracey. This is Tom. We are very happy with the bag. It holds plenty and works great on top of the car. There is not a lock feature . I think the only solution in terms of security would be a hard case which would be a very different experience. This bag neatly folds away and is easy to manuveur. If u have any other wuestions i would be glad to help. Take care

I did not purchase this bag to act as a "safe" I already have two of those. This is simply a theft deterrent in a sense that someone would have to cut, rip or somehow break the bag to get to what's inside. the little laminate card holder is just plastic anyway, you could probably tear it with your teeth and have a good 3" slit into the bag. the same rip stop material is behind the card but you have to slide the card in from the top so that slit would be open if one were to tear the plastic part. I do not know if this is fireproof, but if that is the type of security you need, buy a fire "safe" I did not purchase this bag to act as a "safe" I already have two of those.

No. Nothing like that. However, like the other guy says, it's a highly recommend bag I use it everyday. In fact it's right next to me as I respond to your question. You might be able to use one or both of the handles to go around the luggage handle bar. Or maybe you can have a loop added on by a good tailor. My point is, this bag is so worth buying that I would try to find a way be to make it what you want it to be.

It has a magnetic latch, so no, I would not consider it secure against pickpockets.

I have no clue, I never actually got the bag and the company wasn't very helpful recovering the lost or stolen merchandise. Amazon was wonderful though and sent me a brand new white Dakine board bag instead! Go Amazon!

actually, neither unfortunately. I guess that would be the only downfall of this bag, but to me all the other stuff out weighs that. (plus I don't leave my bag unattended and if it's on me, my arm is always blocking someone from getting into it without me feeling anything).good concern though!

Yes, There is a zipper an a "O" ring at the end to put a small lock on it... Would be easy to pull that loop off though, but if your not leaving in unattended... it should be fine. If they want it, they can just walk off with the whole bag right. But all in all it's a really study/ruggard bag. Love mine...Comes to the range with the all the time!!

There is no lock on this bag, so you would have to buy a secondary system or come up with one yourself to protect it, or just take it inside with you.

I wondered the same thing when purchasing. The helmet cannot be locked. The helmet basket has clips that hold it in place. As for the bag itself, the zipper handles do not have eyelets for use with a lock. If you really want to lock the bag I would suggest drilling holes (approximately 1/8" to 3/16" in diameter) in the zipper handles and using a cable type lock like an airport TSA lock.

Okay so I double checked our bag and I guess it doesn't lock but I don't have problems pulling it behind me so I guess that is why I didn't notice

I fly frequently and use a different brand of "TSA Friendly" backpack design. Not once (in the USA) have I been asked to take the computer out of the bag: OAK, SFO, PHX, TUS, ALB, PDX, LIH, JFK, SEA so far. I do have to remove it in Japan at NRT, but they apologize and everyone has to remove the laptop. Now that I have PreCheck I don't even have to unzip it and lay it out, the whole bag goes through.

Michael, I have purchased this bag as my third bag to accommodate my 17" laptop. The first two I ordered were not adequate at all; however, I kept this one. If you stand it on end, it has a felt pad on the inside bottom. On the outside bottom, it has ribbed plastic to assist with this bag not touching the surface. I found the bag to be secure for my laptop and have traveled with it. It has space on the outside portion to hold electrical items, etc. The shoulder strap is what came in handy for me and with the extra padding on the bottom and security straps inside, I decided to keep it. I hope this helps your decision. Michael, I have purchased this bag as my third bag to accommodate my 17" laptop. The first two I ordered were not adequate at all; however, I kept this one.
