LOCTOTEFlak Sack II - The World's Toughest Theft-Resistant Drawstring Backpack | Anti-theft | Portable Safe | Slash-Proof

Product came heavly damaged with the inside lining and pockets tore, the padlock was missing and the drawstrings had been removed. They also sent me the wronmg colour option.The bag felt good quality so i have returned the bag and will reorder off of the loctote website.

This bag is not what it claims, recommend people look up lock picking lawyer on youtube before purchase.

This review is for people with flak sack 1 as I had the first one before. This is a significant upgrade and 100% worth it. The locking strap is probably the biggest upgrade that matters it is very noticeably stronger material and has 2 wires instead of 1. 2nd thing is the ropes that go over your shoulders is now cut resistant as where before it was not. Also a couple more pouches inside always help and the main inside pouch is bigger. The only thing I would say anything bad about it is that the rfid pouch seems to be lined with a loud plastic (must be for weather proofing). But this is definitely still and always will be 5 star product. Loctote is the best :D anyone who says otherwise is a Karen

Where do I even begin with this bag? Let’s just say, if I had to choose between trying to break this bag and arm wrestling Chuck Norris, I’d be taking my LocTote with me to gym while I prepared to take on Mr. Norris. That being said, the Flak Sack seriously is the perfect gym bag. It’s lockable and secure, so you can work out like you’re getting ready to arm wrestle Chuck Norris without having to worry about your valuables in the locker room.If a bear is alone in the woods and trying to get into the LocTote Flak Sack, does it make a sound? I’m sure the answer to this question would be a firm, “Yes.” That bear would be letting out aggravated growls of anger as it failed to break into this bag. The Flak Sack is the ideal hiking backpack. It’s reasonably sized, lightweight, and durable. “Just how durable is it,” you may ask. Well, it’s strong enough to withstand the force of a hungry grizzly bear, as the LocTote Flak Sack is certified bear resistant. Why would they go out of their way to get this certification? Because they could.The LocTote Flak Sack has easily become my go-to everyday bag. It’s the first bag I pick up, the last bag I set down, and the last thing I ever have to worry about. I don’t handle this bag with care. Why? Because I don’t have to. This bag isn’t meant to smell like your Mom’s lavender hand soap. It’s meant to smell like adventure. I have no doubts that this bag will stand up to any conditions I put it through.Is the LocTote company under good management? I’d say their fierce leader, Gizmo, knows what he’s doing. As someone who has been born and raised in Ohio, I’m proud to see such a genuine company emerge from the place that I call Home. I’m excited to see how the LocTote company will progress, and I’m sure they will keep achieving greatness.- Another satisfied customer

The quality is excellent and it is good for traveling. The size is perfect, even I can put my laptop into it. Highly recommend.

Wow. I got my loctote bag a few days ago and the sheer quality of the item compelled me to leave a review, but I’ll get to the bag itself in a moment. First I want to address the customer service, which absolutely floored me. I reached out to the company via email because at the time they only had the Coalition bag on Amazon, and being a poor student (pursuing a law degree) I needed to use gift cards to afford it. The day I sent my email I received a response from a very nice guy named Christopher, and after an exchange of emails he helped me purchase a bag without any hiccups. Christopher was absolutely phenomenal, even getting in touch with me after my purchase to ensure I was not just satisfied but happy with my new backpack.Now to the bag. The reason I am poor (well, one of them, ahem *ridiculous tuition*) is because my last backpack, with my MacBook Pro, iPad and several expensive legal textbooks was stolen after I left it in a classroom while I went to the restroom. The class let out early and some $&*@$ took the whole bag, even though I had a travel lock on the zippers(I know, pitiful). After doing some research online I found the loctote industrial bag company, and decided to make the investment. 10000/10 best purchase ever. It’s a lot roomier than I expected, big enough to fit my replacement 13” laptop(probably not enough room for a 15” though), plus 2 8”x10” textbooks that are each a couple inches thick, with enough room left for my lunch and whatever else I need that day. The interior pockets are super convenient for pens, earbuds, chargers whatever you need. I like the RFID blocking feature, it’s nice to have the extra peace of mind so I toss my wallet in there when I take the bus or train. The actual material of the bag is probably my favorite part, it just feels supple and durable. It’s thick stuff, whatever it is, and it gives the bag a nice heft, which I was a little worried about at first, but after wearing it I found that the rope straps are plenty wide so it doesn’t cut into your shoulder, even when you load it up. Embarrassingly, I also found that the thickness adds padding to whatever is inside. I say embarrassingly because I was bombing a hill on my skateboard, late to class, and ate s*** on my back. Not only was the bag fine (not a loose thread) but my laptop, which, to be fair, was in a lightly padded case, was totally fine after being used as a sled for 20ft for my 180 pounds. I haven’t had anyone try to break into the bag, but if that doesn’t speak to it’s quality I don’t know what will. The only thing I changed is the lock, it seems like it would do the job but I wanted a black one because it matches better and plus it’s more low key. I’m not exactly trying to advertise that I have a locking bag, which presumably would have something expensive in it.At the end of the day this thing is worth it just for the sense of security it gives you. My girlfriend wants one because she likes that it’s Bear Proof “just in case” she gets attacked by one on a well populated campus, she’ll be mauled but her bag will be fine. Google it, they got it certified somehow.When I read reviews of anything online I’m always skeptical. People BS these all the time, but for what it’s worth this is the only company I’ll buy a bag from again. I love it, I love it, I love it. I already have my eye on one of their “sport” ones to take to the gym, so I don’t have to constantly empty it and refill it. Plus it comes in a really cool retro denim color;)

First thing I can tell you is that this is the best security backpack I have tried. However, it has it's issues which everybody should consider before buying.Pros.You will have a very good sense of security while wearing this backpack while in a crowded bus or train. The security method is good but has it's fails. The bag is made of an material which can't be torn with a knife or other types of blades. This bag can fit quite a bit inside the bag.ConsThe strap which needs to be pulled "very hard" in order to display the metal grommets which the provided lock engages in, is very hard to use. The manual says that it will initially be a challenge because it's new and will be easier after a few tries. However, for me, this did not happen. If you had to lock and unlock your back several times in a row, it gets old.The lock which is provided, is great and looks to be very strong. However, you can't store the lock behind the leather patch while the lock is being used and just tangles from the pack. Having a padlock just dangling in pain view, just signals crooks that there is something expensive inside the bag. A dangling padlock gives the expression that you don't trust anybody.My fix to all these fails, is to use a small TSA cable combo lock which easily inserts into the 2 metal grommets and can easily behind the leather patch. The lock is now hidden behind the leather patch. I would only use this TSA cable lock while the pack is used on my back while traveling around. No crook would have the time or skills to fumble with cable lock in order to get access to your backpack. I would only use the provided lock when I want to secure the bag to a fixed object. This is when an exposed and dangling lock would be a great thing to see.The latest version of this bag is very heavy. I think the original version of this bag would prevent any knife slashes and does not justify the extra $50. The locking methods are identical to both models. With the bag in use, there is a gap at the top with rain will fall through. If you are an XL guy, the straps are too short if wearing a bulky jacket.While I was using a cell phone battery charger stored in one of the pockets, I could feel the heat from the charger on my back.Tip: Since there no partitions inside the bag, everything you put inside, drops to the bottom to form a large ball. This would be hard to find certain items. My solution to this, is to make a partition. Take a piece of cardboard which is the same width and height of the inside of the bag, then place this cardboard inside USPS Priority mail Express mailing envelope. This essentially makes a 2 sided partition which you can place item on either side while inside the bag. This helps with the structure of bag without having a big ball at the bottom. It's a lot easier to move around in a crowded train or bus.To end this long review, I think this bag is one of the best security bag in the market today I should know, I travel to a lot of shady places and security is important to me. Hopefully, future versions will incorporate some of my ideas to make it better.
