A hidden pocket against your body or a locking zipper: these are the two ways an anti-theft shoulder bag keeps your wallet and phone where a stranger's hand cannot easily reach. Bags like The Sylvo, Revolver and Thoron Signature have a hidden pocket or compartment on the back panel. On the shoulder and chest bags with a FIPILOCK fingerprint lock, the main zipper locks and opens only for a registered finger or with the electronic key that comes with each bag. For women there are also small 3 to 5 liter crossbody bags with an anti-theft back pocket.
Hidden pocket or fingerprint lock?
A hidden pocket is the simple solution: cards, cash or your passport go into a pocket on the back of the bag, which is hard to reach while you wear it. On The Sylvo the hidden pocket sits against your back, and Revolver has a hidden rear pocket. A fingerprint lock goes a step further: the main zipper locks, and only a registered finger opens it in under a second, with no code to remember. The lock, for example on Innsbruck, Linz and Lugano, charges over USB-C and stores up to 10 fingerprints.
Anti-theft bags for women
For women there are small crossbody bags in water-resistant nylon with an anti-theft back pocket: the 3 liter Axiton ProX and Zepharion Turbo, and Cylvex Max, which also has a hidden front pocket and room for an iPad mini 7.9 inch. Zepharion Turbo also has two main compartments with interior organization. If you want a real lock, there are women's handbags with a fingerprint lock: Gstaad weighs 256 g (9 oz), Arosa measures 30 x 21.5 x 10 cm, and Zug is made of printed PVC.
Tips for public transport and travel
On public transport and in crowded places, wear the bag crossbody and turn it to the front of your body. Put your wallet, cards and passport in the hidden pocket or the locked compartment, and your phone in a zippered pocket. Close every zipper before you head out, and do not leave the bag open on a cafe table.
