Is it possible to use a padlock to lock the main compartment of the bag?

It is possible. There are two zippers about 3-4 inches apart that open the main compartment. Each zipper handle has a hole that you can put a padlock through but that wont stop you from being able to pull both zippers back. To secure the main compartment, what I do (I use this bag for transporting ammo or guns to the shooting range) is use a padlock similar to the following link this BUT with a larger (4 - 5") shackle that I picked up at a local hardware store (http://www.amazon.com/Brinks-161-42401-16-Inch-Padlock-2-5-Inch/dp/B004G7V6LA/ref=sr_1_44?ie=UTF8&qid=1389848322&sr=8-44&keywords=padlock). I take the shackle through one zipper handle, then through the secured sleeve on the bag used for a shoulder strap (when the compartment is closed), then through the second zipper handle and lock. Using the sleeve as part of the security allows you to secure the main compartment.

no because of the double zipper --- pull strap connect them. very small lock on side pockets

I do not believe you ca lock the main compartments. There is a velcro flap that allows you to hold the cord which connects the two zippers, but it is only velcro and prohibits spills only. I do have small padlocks on all the other zippers.

Doug, it WILL lock, but not with a regular mini-padlock. It'll lock with a cable-type lock through the zipper hinges.(note to mfr: it needs holes in the zippers for a padlock!) I keot it clipped to the telescoping uprights on my suitcase all through Europe for a month last June. It will also easily hold you big Sigma gun lens. It's a great case. Let me know when you get it and I'll send you a photo of the way it straps to a carry-on bag.

There are no locks as such, but of the total of five compartments, the three main ones (the suitcase, the main part of the daypack and the pouch where you will want to keep your wallet, phone, etc) have double zips with a hole that allows for a padlock. The other two compartments are single zips.

Yes, when the handles on both doors meet, there is a hole that you can put a padlock through. That's what I do.

Yes. There are loops on each zipper pair, so you could put a luggage lock on each compartment you wanted secured.

Yes it can be locked. On the inside of the handle is a hasp that will let you padlock the case. Because it is in the middle of the case it does a fair job of securing the case. It would secure the case against small children, but not a determined adult. It is plastic after all is said and done. To sum up, It would keep an honest person honest, but not a thief.

There is no lock on this bag, so you would have to buy a secondary system or come up with one yourself to protect it, or just take it inside with you.

There is a location for a padlock. We use a simple Masterlock when traveling.

In Short yes, You can fit a small pad lock in the loops on the zippers. Also I want to add this comment to anyone who is interested that the bag does not have 100% true segmentation. Some of the dividers in the bag are open on the bottom so things will slide around in this bag unless they are tall.

Yes. There are two holes in the handle for locks to fit through. Easily able to put a good padlock through there.

There is not a lock made into it but you can lock the main compartment by placing a small lock through the double zipper holes

No there isn't a way to lock it up. It's a great bag but good point . Never thought of that. I use it all the time and haven't needed to lock it up in my field.

You can put a small padlock on it, but it still is not the most secure case with a lock, it is more for neat storage and transportation than safety. Hope this helps

You could put a lock on the zippers for the main compartments but not the small outside compartments.

Yes you can lock the bag shut, the two zipper meet together and have a hole that would fit a substantial lock to keep your bag locked

I wondered the same thing when purchasing. The helmet cannot be locked. The helmet basket has clips that hold it in place. As for the bag itself, the zipper handles do not have eyelets for use with a lock. If you really want to lock the bag I would suggest drilling holes (approximately 1/8" to 3/16" in diameter) in the zipper handles and using a cable type lock like an airport TSA lock.

The zippers can be locked with small TSA luggage size travel padlocks. The hole for the lock to pass through is not very big.
