Protecting valuables is near the top of every traveler’s mind when preparing to head out on a trip. How to keep our passports safe, where to stash our money safely away from thieves and how to go about carrying sensitive information are all common worries. The new ALPAKA Air Sling might be the simplest solution for all these fears.
The Air Sling is the world’s first cut-proof sling bag, according to designers. It’s made with rip-stop nylon to prevent would-be pickpockets slipping away with your goods, along with double hidden French seams, magnetic latches, weatherproof-coated materials and cut-proof fabric. It’s basically a safe you wear over your shoulder.
The bag has multiple compartments for your items; a quick access pocket in the front for keys; a main compartment for essentials; and a hidden back pocket for your sensitive possessions like passports and phones. As an added bonus the sling also contains an integrated USB port so you can keep your phone charged as you go.
The removable waist and shoulder strap allows it to be worn easily on your body or under your clothes for added protection. The Air Sling currently comes in only one color — gray — but developers hope to create an alternate pink version. Delivery is expected to begin in April 2018 with a retail price of $100.
