I gave my PacSafe bag to charity after I traveled with it and realized that putting my iPhone inside the PacSafe bag meant my phone could not receive calls.

I did a long trip with a Red Oxx brand Rockhopper bag and it worked well but it s smidge too small to carry a folder of travel paperwork without crumpling the corner of the folder. The Rockhopper holds a lot more stuff than one would suspect on first looking at this bag. I used it as my one and only carry on bag and all went well.

The Rick Steve Civita bag is very soft and offers no protection at all either from cutting by a thief to get to your stuff and from rough handling re: your precious gear.
