The StashSafe hip pack is the best one I&#8217;ve found. Specially-geared to prevent theft, the strap has stainless wire embedded inside so no one can cut the strap and run off with it. The buckle&#8217;s catch is hidden by a velcro-backed flap that ensures it&#8217;s neither visible nor reachable.<\/p>\n<p>I used my pack heavily on a recent <a href=\"http:\/\/lloydkahn-ongoing.blogspot.com\/2009\/02\/day-one-in-costa-rica-peruvian-panpipes.html\">6-week trip<\/a> through Central America. The fanny pack is heavier and bulkier than many others (ed.: 300 grams). But it features several compartments and pockets inside that can carry a lot of stuff. In my case: two cameras, wallet, change, pen, small notebook, magnifying glass, penlight, swiss army knife, passport, watch.<\/p>\n<p>You can also attach a lock between the two zippers and a stainless steel loop so they cannot be unzipped (pic below). I think this is more for locking it up when leaving it in a hotel room (and you can lock the bag around any pole or object that it can&#8217;t be slipped over). When I&#8217;m out and moving around, I go into it so often, it would be a drag to keep unlocking it, so I&#8217;ve never used a padlock.<\/p>\n<form mt:asset-id=\"6092\" class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\" style=\"display: inline;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"pacsafe-ex.jpg\" src=\"\/wp-content\/archiveimages\/pacsafe-ex.jpg\" width=\"353\" height=\"179\" class=\"mt-image-none\" style=\"\" \/><\/form>\n<p>Another item I bought from PacSafe, but never used it on my trip, was their backpack &#038; bag protector, a stainless steel mesh web that fits over a backpack so you can lock it to some kind of non-movable post. None of my hotel rooms seemed that open to theft, but I&#8217;m sure in some parts of the world and in some neighborhoods, you might want added security (esp. with laptops, cameras, etc).<\/p>\n<form mt:asset-id=\"6091\" class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\" style=\"display: inline;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"pacsafe-mesh.jpg\" src=\"\/wp-content\/archiveimages\/pacsafe-mesh.jpg\" width=\"129\" height=\"154\" class=\"mt-image-none\" style=\"\" \/><\/form>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Theft-resistant fanny bag<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"0","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[84],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3615"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3615"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3615\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3615"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3615"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3615"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
