The EXP35 asks you to make two decisions at once: whether its travel layout fits your load and whether its security mechanisms fit your habits. A bag can provide useful deterrents while still being inconvenient if every frequently used item is behind the wrong closure.
The layout has a practical purpose
Pacsafe's EXP35 documentation describes a separate bottom compartment for shoes or clothing and a hidden rear laptop compartment. Those divisions can help keep work equipment apart from the parts of a trip that become untidy.
They also reserve space for particular roles. If you do not carry shoes separately or travel with a laptop, examine whether the arrangement remains useful for your belongings. Buying for security should not mean ignoring how the rest of the bag packs.
Choose the mechanisms you will use
The manufacturer describes reinforced materials and several zipper and attachment systems. Their functions differ: keeping a zipper secured is not the same as preventing the entire bag from being taken. Read the operating instructions and check which closures protect the compartments where you plan to keep valuables.
An extra step can be reasonable for deep storage and irritating for a pocket opened every few minutes. This is a personal convenience tradeoff, not a contest to collect the most security features.
Where it fits
Consider the EXP35 for a main travel load that combines clothing, a computer and a preference for built-in deterrents. It should be compared with similarly sized travel bags as well as anti-theft options. The right choice preserves usable packing and carrying while supporting the habits you already intend to follow.
