Extra Protection: What You Need to Know About Anti-Theft Bags
If you are a frequent traveler in love with exploring new cities just like us, you want to keep your valuables safe at all costs. No matter where in the world your steps might take you, the truth is pickpockets are sometimes the ones that overshadow the most beautiful places.
The good news is that you can avoid the risk of getting pickpocketed by wearing an anti-theft bag. You’ve probably already heard about them. But, if you’re not sure they deserve your attention and money, here is what you should know.
What Is An Anti-Theft Bag, Exactly?
As the name suggests, a theft-proof bag has integrated safety features designed to keep your documents, wallet, cash, smart phone, or other valuables away from sticky hands. Some of the features include:
Hidden Pockets
they are usually placed on the back panel, away from curious eyes, and you can use them to hide your wallet, passport, and other valuables. Since pickpockets follow easy targets, they can’t steal what they can’t see. A backpack with secret pockets brings peace of mind on the go.
RFID-Blocking Technology
Yes, pickpocketing is a threat, but RFID skimming is a real concern nowadays. In a nutshell, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chips are used in credit cards and passports. They allow quick payments and fast scanning. Unfortunately, anyone with a dedicated reader can intercept and decode the sensitive data only by standing next you. Imagine finding yourself with a zero balance in your account in an unknown country. RFID-blocking slots placed on anti-theft bags reduce the signal of the reader to protect your data.
Anti-Cut Fabric
Some anti-theft bags are crafted from slash-proof materials. Sometimes, in very crowded places or on public transport, robbers will try to cut your bag hoping your camera, phone, wallet, and other valuable objects will fall so they can grab them and run. This won’t happen if the body of your bag or backpack is made of slash-proof fabrics.
Cut Resistant Shoulder Straps
The slash, grab, and run technique is a common trick among thieves. They simply slash the strap of your bag and in a blink of an eye, your bag is gone. Cut-proof straps are designed from super durable cut-resistant materials that won’t tear when a thief will try to cut them.
Lockable Zippers
Having a backpack that you can easily lock when commuting or traveling will keep all your belongings safe. Rest assured it will be impossible for a thief to access your bag.
Our Nordace Siena II Smart Backpack features the Nordace patented magnetic zipper lock system to keep the compartments enclosed. When traveling, for maximum security, you can further lock the backpack with a TSA lock.
Should I Get One?
The answer depends on your needs. If you commute daily in crowded public transportation, you travel frequently to unfamiliar places, you are a solo traveler, or you carry valuables such as important documents, watches, or jewelry, the answer is yes.
Anti-theft backpacks have a lot more benefits than simply protecting your belongings. They are versatile, durable, comfortable, and easy to organize with multiple pockets for those little things. Find your perfect anti-theft bag and it will provide the peace of mind you need on the road.
