Best lightweight retractable cable lock

I would like to purchase one so I can tie my bags down to a luggage rack on trains. Pacsafe ones didn't have good reviews.

All of the retractable ones I've seen have looked the same, and they're crap.

Maybe something more like this?

i have an old retractable kryptonite lock that i bring on my ski trips and serves double duties. this seems to be the newest version. imo a lot more convenient and cleaner than those fixed length cables.

I have a couple of these from Maxpedition, and while I would never use it for my bike, it's deterrent enough for skis or luggage.
