Travel Security

Smart travellers know that travel security isn’t about paranoia — it’s about preparation. Our range of travel security products gives you the tools to protect your passport, cards, cash, and gear so you can focus on the experience, not the what-ifs. From RFID-blocking wallets to TSA-approved locks, anti-theft bags to money belts, Travel Gear stocks everything you need to travel with confidence anywhere in the world.

We are proud to be one of Australia’s leading stockists of Pacsafe — the world’s most trusted anti-theft travel brand — alongside a broad range of travel locks, secure wallets, and personal security accessories from specialist travel brands built for real-world conditions.

Your Travel Security Checklist

Secure your cash and cards. Pick up a travel wallet with RFID blocking to protect your contactless cards from electronic scanning. A money belt worn under your clothes is the ultimate protection for your passport and emergency cash in busy destinations.

Lock your luggage. A quality TSA-approved travel lock secures your checked bags without risking damage from customs inspection. For carry-on bags and backpacks, combination cable locks add a visible deterrent to opportunistic theft in hostels, airports, and transport hubs.

Upgrade your bag. Anti-theft bags from Pacsafe feature slash-resistant panels, lockable zippers, RFID-blocking pockets, and anchor straps that prevent bag-snatching. They look like normal travel bags but are built like security gear. Browse our anti-theft bags for the full range.

Protect your neck. A travel neck pouch worn under your shirt keeps your passport, cards, and emergency cash out of reach of pickpockets in crowded markets, public transport, and tourist hotspots.

Travel Security Tips from Our Team

Layer your security. Don’t keep all your valuables in one place — split your cash across a money belt, your day wallet, and a backup stash in your luggage. Use a TSA lock on your checked bag, a combination lock on your day bag, and an RFID-blocking wallet for your cards. These simple steps dramatically reduce your risk profile in any destination.

Consider your destination. High-tourist-traffic cities like Barcelona, Rome, and Bali have well-documented pickpocket issues. Remote adventure destinations may have different risks — theft from campsites or unattended vehicles. Our team can help you choose the right products for your specific trip.

Frequently Asked Questions

What travel security products do I actually need?

At minimum: an RFID-blocking travel wallet, a quality travel lock for your checked luggage, and a secure bag or daypack with lockable zippers. If you’re travelling to high-risk destinations or carrying significant cash, add a money belt or neck pouch. The full kit weighs almost nothing and provides genuine protection.

Are money belts worth it for travel?

Yes — especially in busy tourist destinations. A money belt worn under your clothes is the most secure way to carry your passport, emergency cash, and backup cards. Modern money belts are slim, lightweight, and available in moisture-wicking fabrics comfortable enough for all-day wear.

What is the best travel lock in Australia?

The best travel lock depends on what you’re securing. For checked luggage on flights to or through the US, a TSA-approved lock is essential — customs can open it without cutting it. For hostel lockers and day bags, a combination cable lock provides flexible, key-free security. We stock both in our travel locks range.

Do I need an anti-theft bag for travel?

An anti-theft bag is worth the investment if you’re travelling to busy cities, backpacking through high-traffic tourist areas, or regularly using public transport in unfamiliar destinations. For resort holidays and remote adventure travel, a standard quality bag is usually sufficient. Our team is happy to help you decide — contact us with your itinerary.
