Hello Kyss bag owners...looking for a review of this bag.
Had no clue it existed until today. Went on their website and watched the video and checked it out.

however, would like to hear your experiences with using the bag.

As the lock looks like a cheap dollar store lock that could easily be broken in seconds.


now please no FLAME post about the following...
Also the lock "locks" the zipper of the bag closed. Just like anyone in the aviation/airlines business will tell you...all you need is a ball point pin...and you can gain access to a "locked" zipper bag.
The pen or other object is pushed through the zipper teeth...causing them to separate and BAM your in the bag. Just pull the zipper with the lock still attached over the separated area...9/10 the zipper teeth will match together..sealing the bag and no one knows it was ever opened.

see for yourself here:

Also the Kyss bag chain looks pretty cheap as well.

Of course, we know nothing is 100% tamper proof. If man can make it, make and break it.


but perhaps the bag is more secure than it appears?
would love the hear what you have to say- those who currently own one.

thanks!

Interesting video. I have not received my bag yet, so I can't tell you if the locks are sturdier than they appear. I do not intend to use my bag as a "safe" but more of a deterrent. It seems to me that a bag that is locked and attached to a chair would be the less likely choice over an open beach bag that is lying on a chair with a towel or whatever thrown over it. Obviously, if someone really wants in your bag then they will get in your bag but hopefully this would slow the process.

i really think its meant as a deterrent. as you say, anything can be broken in to.
its function, in my mind, is to prevent someone from waking past your bag and quickly picking it up and walk away with it. if its locked a thief would probably walk by it and look for one that is just sitting in the open. its going to take a few minutes to get into the bag so why bother when there are so many left out unlocked?
at least thats my take on it. i used to go into a pool and always found myself looking over to make sure my 'stuff' was still there. i don't do that anymore, i feel more secure. i still love mine.

As said before if someone wants it bad enough they will get it but for our water park days CC days even shore trips it just would make it harder and take longer for someone to grab it and go or get there hand in the bag quickly. i used mine at Typhoon Lagoon yesterday wrapped it around the umbrella if someone had wanted it they would have had to take the umbrella down I figured or hoped that if it wasn't a cast member someone would have said something anyway I didn't have my gold stash in it just a bit of cash just in case and my phone.
The zipper is metal.
