PAC Firsts/Innovations

PAC First Innovations - pdf

It's been years in the courier and bag making business that has enabled us to come up with several original innovations to messenger bags.

Right Swing - Left Swing Strap Design
Comfort with a PAC Bag lies in the cut of the bag and how it sits on your shoulder. That's is way our bags come in a Right and Left swing design. View Details

"D" Ring Adjusting
First appeared on Pac Designs messenger bags in 1994. A unique method of using 2 inche "D" rings to enable the adjusting strap on Pac bags to be adjusted with one hand. This enables the cyclist to quickly adjust the straps length, and to drop the bag down lower in front of them for easier access. View Details

PAC'S Deluxe Suspension Strapping
Adjust for different sized loads by tightening or loosening the strap. When tightened, the strap keeps your bag aerodynamic and close to your body preventing balling up or rocking. PAC Suspension System makes the shoulder bag fit to your body and the bag feels great even when jam-packed. View Details

PAC'S "X" Shoulder Strap
First appeared on select bags in the fall of 1995. This is a removable second shoulder strap that stores itself on the flap of the bag when not in use. When extra support is needed for large and heavy loads the strap is quickly unclipped from the flap and clipped onto the main shoulder strap giving two shoulder strapping. Originally appearing on only a few bags the "X" strap has become PAC'S most popular option; it is requested on 95% of all Professional bag models. View Details

PAC'S "Anti-Sway" Strap
Anti-Sway strap reaches from the bottom corner of the bag, under the arm, to the middle of the Shoulder strap. It totally prevents the bag from swinging around, even when carrying heavy loads. One quick click and it comes on or off. View Details

PAC'S 3 Layer Construction
First appeared on PAC bags in 1995. We use DUPONT CORDURA PLUS on the outside of our bags, a truck tarp middle lining, and pack cloth innermost lining. This adds weight to the bag, but ads extreme durability. View Details

Ballistic Bottoms
First appeared on the bottoms of PAC bags in 1995 (prior to this we used a bottom layer of Cordura 1000). They say that ounce for ounce Ballistic Nylon is stronger than steel. We use black Ballistic on the bottom of the Ultimate and Ultimate Oversize bags. View Details
