## History

Outpac Designs Limited, makers of Pacsafe, was established in 1998 in Hong Kong by two Australians, Rob Schlipper and Magnus McGlashan[2] Their inspiration behind the original Pacsafe product and travel security products came while travelling in South America, where they saw chicken wire put around bags to protect it against theft. Shortly afterwards, they created the slashproof wire cage system Exomesh, the Pacsafe 85L, big enough to enclose an 85-litre backpack, later adding other sizes.

In 2005, Pacsafe locks were made compatible with the Travel Sentry standard used by many international airport security authorities. In 2006, the Citysafe series was added to enhance the women’s travel bag lineup. The Lidsafe for motorcycle travel was also introduced.[3]

By 2012, Pacsafe had expanded their range to include adventure backpacks, urban and leisure bags, women’s bags, photography bags, luggage and travel accessories that all incorporate anti-theft features.

## Turtle Fund Mission

In 2014, Pacsafe founded the Turtle Fund Mission to save endangered marine turtles by providing annual grants to sea turtle conservation projects.[1]
