We’re not gonna lie — the internet scared us big time about potential pickpocketing happening in Europe. However, we always try to face our fears head-on, so during a recent visit to Europe, one of our reporters tested out some anti-theft products, and we’re recommending our favorites! 

During her European adventures, our reporter tried three different products, and we’re telling you all about ’em!

The Pacsafe Vibe 150 Sling Pack is a reliable hands-free bag that’s great for travel. It holds up to 2.5 liters — not too big, not too small, and comfortable to wear all day. You also get an added sense of security thanks to the interlocking zippers.

Add Extra Security With These Accessories

These S-Biner MicroLocks can secure your keys and zippers while you’re out and about. Our reporter used them on her purse by clipping them to two zipper pulls so a pickpocket couldn’t unzip her bag. These clips are super sturdy and are made with stainless steel, creating tons of resistance that is hard to break through.

This Idle Hands Sling from Free People is available online in several different colors and was PERFECT for our reporter’s travels! The bag can carry a LOT around Europe thanks to two big zipper compartments, and the placement of the zippers makes it very difficult to pickpocket. Fashionable yet reliable, this bag is ideal for travel in crowded cities.
