Don’t Travel without These Essentials from OffGrid

Travel Safe in 2023

We all carry some form of device every day—our phones, our wallets, our keys, and even our backpacks. With each device comes the need for a certain level of protection from cyber threats-more so now than any other time in the world. In the past, cybersecurity was reserved exclusively for elite military and police forces- but as we travel more as a society, we too need safe and secure options. OffGrid products now provide protective technology that is accessible to everyone.

OffGrid offers premium cyber security solutions in the form of wallets and backpacks that feature secure RFID lining, tamper-proof zippers, device signal blocking technology, and a unique protection system. Their products are designed to protect your most important assets by keeping unwanted intruders out while allowing you access to your information quickly and easily. Each product in their lineup brings an added layer of security that ensures safety wherever you roam. Our crew grabbed a few of their products to test as we travelled this year- and we strongly recommend looking into these when traveling in 2023.

INITIAL IMPRESSIONS

How often do you think about your cell phone, your laptop, your credit cards being hacked? Many of us think as long as we stay off public WiFi we should be good. Well, while that is a legit start- it doesn’t cover the entire security protection to ensure your information stays YOURS.

Security for all situations

At OffGrid, they do things differently. They give anyone the chance to hop off the grid and avoid being hacked, tracked, or any other “-ked” you can think of. With their security protective bags, wallets, and sleeves, you can protect your devices from RFID, FM Radio, GPS, Cell, Bluetooth and Wifi signals. Just by sliding your device into the bag. No passcodes, device hacks, or steps.

Complete cybersecurity for everyone.
Everyday. Everywhere.

OffGrid prides themselves on a unique approach to security for all, with a focus on providing backpacks, bags, wallets, and sleeves to keep your devices safe.

Our Initial crew Impression: Great functionality and design concepts

TESTING IT OUT

Our crew had a brilliant idea (at least to us it was)- Let’s load up our stuff in the backpack and wallet, head to the airport for a trip, and see if it really does block out the signals. We just so happened to be heading out of town for the holiday (pre-rush) so this was perfect.

The Faraday bags have multilayers of fabric and an exterior layer of protection against water and humidity that protects the devices within the bag and extend its useful life. Faraday bags block signals but not sound. So when our crew put the phones in, and set alarms or used Siri they were activated by voice but they were not be able to search or deliver information nor make calls. We tried to “track my iphone” but when in the bag, the signal went dead. No location available. We did not do anything different to the phone, just stopped in the bag as is…and signal was wiped out. We called the phone too…

The phone did not ring, and the call went straight to voicemail. Per our crew who called it also did not ring, just straight to voicemail when calling. But how does it work? OffGrid Faraday bags act as a shield against incoming and outgoing RF signals by conducting RF signals around electronic devices rather than allowing the signals to penetrate the bag. Each OffGrid bag is fabricated with multiple  layers of conductive Faraday material as well as  protective layers. For usability, the bags are designed with a convenient to use but secure closure. OffGrid  bags isolate your electronic devices from GPS, Wifi, Bluetooth, 5G, RFID, and all other wireless signal technologies.

We tested the wallet as well, and you can even slide your phone inside when expanded. Same experience as the bag- no calls when called, and no signal penetration. The wallet easily folds up to store cash, credit cards, and even key fobs if needed.

The OffGrid bag and wallet were perfect for travel too as they both were lightweight, easy to use, and the backpack had more storage options than any other bag of it’s kind. Front pouches, side, interior storage- we could easily use this one bag for all our travel needs on a short trip.
