Whether travelers take airline flights, cruises, trains, buses, or travel by rental cars on vacations and holidays, most people are curious and would like to know what is new and neat in travel accessories.
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 can they save a lot of space in your travel 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.
What is a non-slip security wallet?
One accessory you should purchase is the non-slip security travel wallet. It is about the same size as a regular wallet but has non-slip rubber on one side which will catch on the inside of your pocket if it accidentally slips out of your pocket, or if pickpocket tries to pick your pocket. Always put your wallet inside your front pocket. Under no circumstances should you ever carry your wallet in a back pocket. Professional thieves have called it "the sucker pocket".
Here's a great trick! You can convert your wallet into a non-slip wallet by putting a couple of wide rubber bands around it. Another solution that will help with the pickpocket problem is a chain-equipped security travel 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.
Elastic security socks have a concealed, zippered type pocket on the inside of each one of a pair of these socks. These socks would be difficult for a pickpocket to access.
Another unique accessory is the RFID blocking passport document holder. This radio frequency identification holder helps to protect your passport and other documents that can be electronically compromised from snooping data-stealing hackers.
A combination and key accessible combo luggage lock makes it possible for the custom's officials to unlock your checked luggage for inspection with a special skeleton key, then lock your luggage up again. You can then dial the combination and you can open your luggage. This can save you a lot of time and money replacing regular locks that custom's agents would normally have to break to gain entry to inspect your luggage. Another real plus with these combo locks is that you do not have any keys to worry about losing or replacing.
You can carry a personal, battery-operated security alarm that emits a loud, piercing sound that may help ward off a robber or mugger. Another product that is inexpensive and that will produce the same effect is a referee's 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.
Always protect your eyes from the tropical sun when traveling by wearing sunglasses that carry both a UVA as well as a UVB certified protection label.
The handy little book light clamps on to the edge of your book which enables you to read in dim light or total darkness. It also will allow you to read in the dark and not disturb your sleeping travel companion.
If you like to wear a backpack you should consider a steel-mesh equipped backpack. These security backpacks have a steel mesh that is sewn in the bottom and sides, the vulnerable places where a thief could slash it with a knife. If this happens, everything will tumble out, and the thief and his accomplices can grab anything of valuable and run away in different directions.
