Is it just me, or do you also get paranoid about pickpockets and belongings left in luggage or the hotel room? Here’s a product that really helps. Pacsafe provides a range of bags and products featuring the eXomesh Ultimate “complete lock and leave system.” This provides a lightweight 360-degree stainless steel cage which locks around your gear, and locks to a secure fixture. One product involves tamperproof zippers and compartments that lock closed or latch to a spring-loaded metal clip. The bags with flap-covered compartments offer hidden safety hooks for extra security to keep prying hands out. Their Slashguard panels prevent someone from cutting the exposed lower section of bags so contents fall out. The portable lightweight slash guards can be placed in vulnerable sections of the bag to deter knives and blades.
My cameras represent a considerable investment in the bodies and lenses, and last year in Chile I saw someone robbed of an expensive one. A thief walked by her, and in seconds cut through her camera strap and took off down an alley. Pacsafe makes belts and straps embedded with slash-proof, high-tensile stainless steel wire. To prevent a bag snatched while your attention is elsewhere, they provide metal clips on slash-proof belts, straps, cables or chains. These can be unfastened at one end allowing you to loop and anchor your bag to any secure fixture such as the arm of your restaurant chair, bus seat or poolside lounger.
