If you’d like to know what travel accessories are available to make your trip easier, safer, and more comfortable, here are some great products. These items should be available at most luggage and travel accessories oriented stores.
What are compression bags and how much space can they save you when you pack your luggage?
If you use space savings plastic compression bags when packing your clothes, you can save up to 80% more space in your luggage. They can be used over and over again for many years of easy packing.
How does a non-slip security wallet work?
One accessory you should consider buying is the non-slip security travel wallet. It is about the same size as a regular wallet but it has non-slip rubber on one side which will rub against and catch on the inside of your pocket if it accidentally slips out of your pocket, or if someone tries to pick your pocket. Always put your wallet in your front pocket. Under no circumstances should you ever carry your wallet in your back pocket. Professional thieves the world over call it “the sucker pocket”.
Here is a great trick! You can change your wallet into a non-slip wallet by putting a couple of wide elastic bands around it. Another solution that will help with the problem of pickpockets is a chain-equipped security wallet which can be attached to your belt.
The secret waist wallet compliments the non-slip travel wallet. It fits under your blouse or shirt, but is still easily accessible. It’s not a good idea to lift your blouse or shirt up and open this wallet in public as you never know who is watching, like a would be robber, or pickpocket. It is best to open it discretely where nobody can see you doing it, such as in a public washroom stall.
A leather money belt that has a zippered, concealed pocket on the inner side of it, is a great security travel product. You can hide a key, paper money, or small foldable documents in the secure, zippered pocket.
There are stay-up, elastic security socks that have a concealed, zippered pocket on the inside of each one of a pair of these socks. These socks would be extremely difficult for a pickpocket to get at.
Another unique accessory is an RFID blocking passport holder. This radio frequency identification passport holder protects your passport and other documents that can be electronically compromised by data-stealing hackers.
A unique combination and key accessible combo luggage lock makes it possible for a custom’s official to unlock your checked luggage for inspection by using a special skeleton key, then lock your luggage up again. You can then dial the combination and open your luggage when you arrive at your destination. This can save you a lot of time and money replacing regular locks that custom’s agents would usually have to break to gain entry to check your luggage. Another plus with combo locks is that you don’t have any keys to worry about replacing or losing.
You can carry a battery-operated, personal security alarm that emits a loud, shrill sound that can help scare off a mugger or robber. Another product that is less costly and will produce the same effect is a referee’s sports whistle, which you can hide under your shirt or blouse, attached to a string, and hung around your neck.
Battery-operated hotel room intruder alarms are excellent hotel room safety devices. One kind of alarm hangs on the room’s door knob. Any movement of the door or door knob will set off the alarm. Another one is the doorstop type which you push under the hotel room door’s bottom edge. If someone tries to open the door, the alarm will sound.
Women travelers can buy an innovative security purse that has a steel cable sewn in the strap. This will foil a thief who makes an attempt to cut through the strap and run away with their purse.
Easy to carry, easy to inflate, the pocket pillow is approximately 6″ x 4″ x 1″ and inflates to about 19″ x 15″. It can make a comfortable pillow to rest your head upon when you are tired or want to sleep.
Make sure that you protect your eyes when traveling in sunny climates by wearing sunglasses that carry both a UVA as well as a UVB certified protection label.
A handy little book light that clamps on to the edge of your book enables you to conveniently read in dim light or total darkness. It also allows you to read in the dark without disturbing your sleeping travel companion.
If you prefer wearing backpack you should check out a steel-mesh equipped backpack. These backpacks have steel mesh sewn into the sides and bottom, the most vulnerable places where a thief can slash it with a knife. When this happens, everything tumbles out, and the thief and his cohorts will grab anything of valuable and run in different directions.
You should keep in mind that you will probably need adaptor plugs and converters if you are traveling to certain countries.
