If you have ever traveled abroad before, then one thing that you will know is that there is always a risk of theft. Unfortunately, tourists are a prime target. However, what many people don't realise is that there is also a risk when you are traveling within the country.
If you carry expensive items on a regular basis such as laptops or other electronics, then it is very important that you do whatever you can in order to protect them. One of the best ways that you can do this is by purchasing an anti theft backpack.
If you haven't purchased one before then it can be hard to know what you should be looking for. To make your decision easier, we have tested and reviewed what we think are three of the best anti theft backpacks in the UK right now. Please read on below to find out more.
Features: Wear Resistant Polyester - Water Repellent - 35L Capacity - Multiple Compartments - Laptop Compartment - Padded Shoulder Straps - Chest Strap - 20.5 x 11.8 x 8.7 Inches - 789g
Number 1 on our list of the best anti theft backpacks in the UK is this one from Gonex. At first glance, we assumed that this backpack wouldn't offer anything too impressive, but we were actually very impressed with it, especially given it's budget price tag.
First of all, we're going to take a closer look at the design of the backpack. What really stood out for us with this one is the simple yet modern design. It is nothing too impressive to look at, but it is sleek and stylish.
The material that this backpack is made out of is a wear resistant polyester. After taking a closer look at the material is was very clear to see that it was going to be durable, which made it perfect for hiking or regular traveling. We were even more impressed to learn that it was water repellent too.
The shoulder straps are padded and are relatively comfortable and there is a nice chest strap which is perfect for longer hiking trips. However, we did feel that this backpack might benefit from a hip strap too in order to spread out the weight a little.
On the inside there are multiple compartments to use and a dedicated laptop compartment too. What we really liked was how large the capacity is. At 35L, there is more than enough capacity to store everything that you will need.
Overall, we were really impressed with this anti theft backpack and would definitely recommend it, not only in terms of security but also in terms of practicality and affordability.
Features: Water Resistant Polyester - 32L Capacity - Multiple Compartments - Laptop Compartment - Padded Shoulder Straps - 47 x 37 x 13cm - 848g
Next on our list of the best anti theft backpacks in the UK is this one from Als Ellan. We had never heard of this brand of backpack before, so we had no idea what to expect from this one, but we were actually quite pleased with it which we were surprised by given it's very affordable price tag.
In terms of design, what really stood out for us with this one is the style that it offers. It wouldn't look out of place at either school, college, or the work place. Like the previous backpack, this one is made out of durable water resistant polyester.
Although it doesn't feel quite as strong as the first backpack that we tested, the material is still very high quality. One thing that we were really surprised by was the weight of this backpack. It comes in at only 848g. The shoulder straps are very comfortable indeed, thanks to the extra padding.
We did feel that it would have benefitted from either a chest strap or a hip strap but this is only a minor issue. On the inside of the backpack you will find multiple compartments as well as a dedicated padded laptop compartment.
It has a 32L capacity, which whilst it isn't quite as big as the previous backpack on our list, it is still big enough to store everything that you would need to put into a backpack. This is definitely one that we would recommend if you want something affordable yet still very high quality.
Features: Polyester - Multiple Compartments - Laptop Compartment - Padded Shoulder Straps - 14 x 9 x 20 cm - 699g
The final product that we want to add to our list of the best anti theft backpacks in the UK is this one from Corium Direct. Again, we had no idea what to expect from this one because we hadn't heard of the brand, but we were very pleased with it after we tested it.
The main thing that we liked about this one is the design. Unlike the previous two, the focus on this backpack is largely on style. Available in several colours, this one looks incredibly modern and stylish. It wouldn't look out of place either in the work setting or when traveling.
There are plenty of compartments on the inside to store everything that you need, but we did find that there could be a little more capacity as it is a little smaller than the previous two backpacks that we tested. The shoulder straps are very comfortable, but like the previous two, this would benefit from a chest strap.
Although there are a few minor improvements that could be made, we still felt that this was a great choice, mainly for style more than anything. As well as this, it is very affordable.
We hope that you now have a much better idea of the types of anti theft backpacks that are available at the moment and are able to choose the right one for you.
