RFID-blocking

After the award-winning success of the RFIDsafe™ 50 and its innovative smart RFID-blocking material, we have applied this to pockets in our bags to prevent identity thieves from stealing and downloading sensitive personal information from passports, bank and credit cards. The copper and nickel weave is unlike most other RFID wallets which comprise of the less effective, more corrosive and more toxic aluminium.

RFID Facts

Most credit cards and passports have an electronic RFID chip built into them—this chip actually transmits a signal that contains information about the owner to various scanners when making a purchase or when going through passport control. However thieves can easily buy RFID readers and download your information from up to 20ft away and you’ll never know.
