Tips for Choosing Travel Safety & Security Devices
Customers frequently ask which safety devices are best for bringing on a trip, so here’s our recommendation for the perfect travel products.
Some of the most popular products are stun guns and pepper spray, but since there are many domestic and international regulations, they are often not the best tools while traveling. Always make sure to check all laws and restrictions before packing either of these.
If pepper spray is still a viable choice, an excellent item is the ASP Key Defender. This travel-size is lightweight, low-profile and convenient: no bulky packaging or searching for protection, just hang it on your keys and it’s always on hand. The sleek design doubles as a kubotan and can be used for stabilizing your fist, gaining leverage, and stabbing at sensitive areas when fighting an attacker. Since the product serves as both, make sure to check local restrictions for kubotans as well.
Pepper spray cannot be stored in vehicles on hot days because the high temperature causes aerosol depletion, rendering the device useless and causing a potential for leakage or explosion. To avoid this, consider the Kimber Guardian. Not only can the Guardian spray at 90 MPH, it is unique among pepper spray because it utilizes different technology and does not lose pressure over time.
If your travel area does not have restrictions and stun guns are your protection of choice, we recommend the Zap line and the Runt. The Zap line of stun guns include high-quality, versatile products in a variety of different sizes and voltages so it’s easy to pick out the one that fits you. Consider the Runt as well. The device is our smallest stun gun ever at only 3.25” but don’t underestimate it: it packs up to 950,000 volts and comes with a lifetime warranty.
Alarms are a must when traveling due to their portability and shock factor. The 130db Alarm is fantastic because of the ease of its activation; it travels easily on your belt or in your purse. There’s no need to fiddle with switches or grope for buttons, just yank the cord and the 130 decibels of sound is impossible to miss. A wonderful alternative is our new Mini Travel Alarm. Not only does it work as a conventional 100db alarm, it contains a LED flashlight and motion sensor that can sense movement from a radius of 9 feet, ensuring that you are always aware of your surroundings.
One of our customers’ biggest concerns is hotel safety. We recommend the Door Stop Alarm and Door Handle Alarm. The Door Stop jams under a door to prevent it from being opened and, if someone tries to apply outside pressure, emits a shattering 120 decibels. The Door Handle Alarm turns any regular doorknob into a burglar alarm. Hang the alarm on the inside knob and the unit is set within 10 seconds. If anyone touches your doorknob from the outside, even while wearing gloves, a 90 dB alarm will sound, and a flashing light will activate.
Have a safe trip.
