These Travel Wallets, Bags & Accessories Have Anti-Theft, RFID-Blocking Technology — So You Can Travel With A Peace Of Mind

Travel comes with its risks, including scams and thefts that could happen anywhere. That’s why it pays to be on the alert in safeguarding your personal belongings while you’re on holiday. After all, thieves don’t just need to swipe your wallet from your bag or back pocket to steal from you anymore.

As credit cards, passports and more are now embedded with radio frequency chips equipped with RFID technology that store your personal information (the same things that enable contactless payment or passports to be scanned), you could fall victim to a tech-savvy thief who can easily steal your information just by skimming your cards within close proximity with the right tools. While some maintain that the risk of RFID-skimming thefts are low (or they could just have gone unreported), you know what they say, low crime doesn’t mean no crime.

If you’re all about taking extra precautions to stay safe on your travels, consider buying accessories for your travels that are equipped with anti-theft technology to prevent thieves from stealing your personal info just with a swipe of your bag. Herewith, 10 travel products with RFID-blocking protection to consider for your next trip.
