Neat Travel Accessories That Will Make A Holiday And Vacation Easier
Whether you travel using air flights, luxury cruises, trains, buses, or rental cars on your vacations and holidays, most people are curious and want to know what’s new and neat in travel accessories.
If you would like to find out about some of the travel accessories that are available to make your trip more comfortable, easier, and safer, here are some great products. These items should be available at any luggage and travel accessories stores.
What are compression bags and can they save a lot of space when you pack your luggage?
If you use space saving clear plastic compression bags when packing your clothes, you can save up to a whopping 80% more space in your luggage. They can be used over and over again for many years of very easy packing.
What is a non-slip security wallet?
One accessory you should consider purchasing is the non-slip security travel wallet. It’s about the size as a regular wallet but has non-slip rubber on one side which catches on the inside of your pocket if it accidentally slips out of your pocket, or if a thief attempts to pick your pocket. Always put your wallet in a front pocket. Never carry your wallet in your back pocket. Professional thieves call 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 is a wallet that compliments the non-slip travel wallet. It fits nicely under your shirt or blouse, but is still easily accessible. It is not a good idea to lift your shirt or blouse up and open this wallet in public as you never know who is watching, like a would be pickpocket, or robber. It is best to open it discretely where no one can see you doing it, such as in a public washroom stall.
Leather money belts that have concealed, zippered pockets on the inner sides of them, are excellent security travel products. You can hide small foldable documents, paper money, or a key 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 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.
Combination and key accessible combo luggage locks make it possible for custom’s officials to unlock your checked luggage for inspection with special skeleton keys, then lock your luggage up again. You then can 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 had to break to gain entry to inspect your luggage. Another great plus with these combo locks is that you don’t 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 great hotel room safety devices. One type of alarm hangs on the room’s door knob. Any movement of the door knob or door will set the alarm off. Another one is the doorstop type which you push under the door’s bottom edge. If someone tries to open the hotel room door, the alarm will be triggered.
Women travelers can get an innovative security purse that has a steel cable sewn into the strap. This will foil a thief who attempts to cut through the strap and tries to take off with their purse.
Easy to inflate, easy to carry, the pocket pillow measures approximately 6″ x 4″ x 1″. It inflates to about 19″ x 15″, and makes a comfortable pillow when you need to rest your head or 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.
A neat little book light that clamps on to the edge of your book will enable you to conveniently read in dim light or in total darkness. It also allows you to read in the dark and not disturb your sleeping travel companion.
If you are backpacking you should consider wearing a steel-mesh equipped backpack. These great backpacks have a security steel mesh sewn into the bottom and sides, the most vulnerable places where a thief could slash it with a knife. When this happens, everything tumbles out, and the thief and his accomplices grab anything of valuable and run away in different directions.
Keep in mind that if you are traveling to certain countries you will probably need adaptor plugs and converters.
