What an anti-theft bag protects, and what it does not
An anti-theft bag makes discreet theft harder in a crowd or on public transit, when a hand goes looking for a zipper within reach. It does not protect against a snatch-and-grab. None of the 7 states RFID blocking or slash-resistant fabric, so do not count on either here. To find out which features to compare and which are mostly sales talk, read our guide on how to choose the best anti-theft backpack. Its criteria apply to a men’s bag too.
Which anti-theft bag for work or travel?
An anti-theft backpack for work often carries a laptop, and 6 of the 7 styles in this selection state a dedicated compartment, while 4 have an external USB port for charging a phone from a power bank. For trips of several days, 4 have a rear strap that slips over a suitcase handle, and 2 of them also appear in our travel backpacks collection, so those double as an anti-theft travel backpack. For rain, 3 are described as waterproof and 2 as water-repellent. If the laptop matters more than security, compare our laptop backpacks collection too.
