Cpamomma Posted June 14, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I am looking for some sort of safe, locking bag that I can put things in if I go to the pool on the ship or if we go to the beach in port. I would like to have a bag that fits a couple of phones, a couple of kindles and a small wallet. I have found some bags but they are either way too big or too small. Any recommendations? Thanks.

coolio Posted June 14, 2019 #2 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Try Kyss.. We have one of these and it comes with a chain and a lock built in.. Lock it on to any thing such as a beach chair and away you go. We have been using it for many years without any problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickels Posted June 14, 2019 #3 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Look for the KYSS bag; that's what it's called; (Keep Your Stuff Safe), has a chain and a combination lock, that when wrapped around your chair or chairs, will lock the bag so nothing can be removed, nor the bag removed from the chairs. I recall they come in three sizes, small, medium and large. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seacrystal Posted June 14, 2019 #4 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I totally agree with both above. A few years ago I asked the same question and was referred to Kyss. These bags are very well made and last a long time. I use them on the airplanes, by the pool and on excursions. Love them! I just wish they would add a panel on the outside so they can slip over your luggage handle. Otherwise, they are PERFECT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GastroGnome Posted June 14, 2019 #6 Share Posted June 14, 2019 If you lock a bag to a chair on the pool deck I would very much hope that it would be removed and kept safe for you. I can't speak for every cruise line but I have never known possessions to be stolen whilst at sea. You do have a bit of a captive population! A usual beach bag will be safe enough. For ports - yes possibly. But beach loungers are portable. Surely if someone wants your stuff - which they will if you lock it up in a bag! - they'll just lift the lounger and cut the bag off later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone wanted my expensive sun lotion and snatched it off my chair while I was in the pool. A friend was in the shower near the pool and hung his swimsuit over the door for a few moments . It was grabbed . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare hcat Posted June 15, 2019 #11 Share Posted June 15, 2019 OP inquiry is sincere, but hope such locked bags do not become a new way to chair hog...bad enough with the books, towel clips, flip flops and old magazines! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovetheSea Posted June 15, 2019 #12 Share Posted June 15, 2019 (edited) I was thinking about getting one to use on a chair ON the beach. I realized they could just cut open the bag and take what is inside. Edited June 15, 2019 by LovetheSea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UFMOM Posted June 15, 2019 #14 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I love my Kyss bags. I have 2, a large and a small and have used them many times both on and off the ship. The only drawback is they are a little heavy with the chain so I bring an extra tote bag to use when I don’t plan to leave the bag anywhere. Yes, you do have to attach them to something not easily portable. I believe they are made of a cut resistant material but probably someone determined could cut it but may take them some time.

caymancouple Posted June 15, 2019 #17 Share Posted June 15, 2019 We have a couple of these we use. https://www.amazon.com/PacSafe-Travelsafe-Anti-Theft-Portable-Safe-Black/dp/B074SQLGMT/ref=sr_1_15?keywords=pacsafe&qid=1560629949&s=gateway&sr=8-15 We have season tickets to our local water park, and this always goes with us. The nice thing, is it can not be cut open as it has a steel mesh inside the fabric. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks It will not hold an IPAD but it depends on the size of your Kindle. However their is a larger version called FlexSafe Plus that will hold these devices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even checked their Kickstarter page with no luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Ann Unfortunately, they are sold out of the medium and large. I think the small will be too small to hold a couple of Kindles, phones and wallets.

Mapomp Posted June 17, 2019 #22 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Beware of the FlexSafe... I had one and loaned it to a family member. Their grandson was fooling with it and changed the combination (he was 3 at the time) and nobody knew what he changed it to. I tried the company, and there was no way to reset the combination. But they gave me some kind of discount to buy another one..... No thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks This happened to me a few years back, riding on the LIRR going home; somehow I changed the 3-digit combination on my attaché case. Not paying attention, I did not know what I changed it to. I set the combination to 000 and changed it one digit at a time, (000, 001, 002, etc.). Yes, it took quite a while to hit the correct combination, but I did it.

espo56 Posted June 18, 2019 #24 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Keys’s bags are the best. Bought one last year for a trip to Aruba. It was a godsend. Brought it in my April cruise. It was a boil help. I have the medium. It’s a good size. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am having a laughing fit visualizing someone hauling a lounger off, getting on the elevator then carrying it down the corridor to their cabin, all the while the Kyss bag is dangling from the side. Yeah, that wouild be very inconspicoous! 😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
