Travel and Security Accessories

We realize that there are many risks to our personal security while travelling. We also understand that there are many travel accessories that are as important as your choice of luggage. That is why we have created this list of travel and security accessories.

The average traveller carriers a tempting assortment of money, important documents and valuable possessions in a very compact space. This fact has not gone unnoticed by the criminal world. Luckily, for most common travel threats, there are countermeasures that can be taken that are simple, unobtrusive and inexpensive. With this in mind we have assembled a list of travel accessories for your consideration.

Portable Travel Safes

Portable Travel Safes

Most would-be thieves are looking for easy targets. Making your valuables difficult to steal is one of the best deterrents against most crimes of opportunity. This generally means that you need some container that securely locks your valuables away yet cannot be easily moved. Why not use the hotel’s in-room safe? Well, most in-room safes have a second method of opening in case guests forget their combination. This removes any real security for your valuables. Luckily, there are a variety of portable travel safes that are designed to thwart thieves. See them here.

Anti Pick-Pocketing Devices

Bottle Protectors

Bottle Protectors

All countries around the world have liquid restrictions in place. This means that the nice bottle of wine or liquor that you bought while you were on vacation will not be permitted through security in your carry-on bag so it must be packed in your checked baggage. But wait, whether by machine or by hand, you can assume that your checked baggage is going to be handled roughly so how safe is that glass bottle? You could try wrapping it in layers of clothes but if it breaks, you will be faced with an even bigger problem. Meet the inflatable bottle protectors – they protect your bottles against breakage but if they do leak, the spill is contained by the bag and your clothes are kept safe and dry. See them here.

Backpack & Bag Protectors

Backpack & Bag Protectors

Protect your best travel friend from thieves and slashers. Your expensive backpack or camera bag has served you well, why not keep it out of harms way with a lite-weight steel mesh skin that resists knives, tools and prying little hands. These after-market metal mesh bag protectors come with a metal cable lock for when you need to leave your bag unattended whether in public, a hostel or a hotel room. See them here.

Luggage Straps and Wraps

Luggage Straps and Wraps

If you have ever traveled by air, you have probably seen that one old suitcase that has broken open and spilled all over the luggage carousel. Even worse, sophisticated smuggling rings can easily place contraband in luggage and mark it for pickup at the destination airport. Protect against either of these scenarios by supplementing your suitcases closure system with either a simple lockable baggage strap or a single-use plastic wrap. Both methods provide piece of mind for you and much better security for your luggage. See them here.
