Away from home, outside your own culture and willing to give the comfort zone a break– thy name is travel. In the quest for unique experiences and new sights, make sure you don’t overlook the obvious. We mean, your safety. Be it epidemic diseases or the fear of being mugged, keeping yourself safe is paramount.
At Bragpacker, we believe that to travel well is to travel equipped. We recommend the following products to protect you from known and unknown dangers. So for your next trip, do consider investing in these travel safety products.

Sanitation is important, especially with kids as they are more susceptible to diseases. The last thing you want from a holiday is to come back with an infection. Women are especially susceptible to UTI and other infections in toilets and a toilet sanitize can be literally a life saver. Make sure to use antibacterial wipes in the hotel or outside. Keep them handy for the airplane too and make sure to wipe the tray table, or the seat back movie screen.
For Solo travellers
When you are travelling alone, you don’t have the luxury of a companion watching over your bag while you go to the bathroom or sleep on a bus. The travel lock may seem like a petty thing, but it is incredibly important. Best is to go for a cable lock that attaches your suitcase or backpack to a fixed object, be it the dorm bed in a hostel or your train seat.
Simple as it may sound, always carry your emergency contact details written on a card in your luggage. Ideally in the overhead pockets of your bag or the back of your phone so that others can help you should you be caught in an unfortunate event.
When travelling to remote locations or on long road trips, donot count on potable water to be always available. Keep some water purifying tablets handy. There are also instant, handheld water filters available, which may be preferred when going deep into the wild.
For Women travellers
Innocuous, may be, but a proven lifesaver it is. Tuck away a small whistle in your day pack or hand bag. In case of an emergency it will help attract attention and seek help. No batteries, no refills required. For a more loud, high tech solution – pick up a personal attack/ rape alarm, as they are called. These will emit high pitched sounds on the press of a button.
For Your Valuables
Worth the cost, slash-proof bags are a great anti-theft accessory for travel lovers. Almost like any other backpack or daypacks, it has a mesh armor that protect it from cuts and and other thief measures thus keeping your belongings safe. It is a must if you’re traveling to areas known for pickpockets and petty thievery.
For Road trips
Buy for: Rs 9,500/- or Rent for: Rs. 110/ day
