As time moves forward, it seems all the more likely that technology will become more integrated into people’s daily lives, whether it brings blissful convenience or annoying frustration. It has even started to creep so much into our daily tasks that it can be easily argued that a person without some modern technology would be out of touch and that functioning in society would prove difficult. This is all the more reason to be as serious as possible when it comes to protecting your devices because in some cases, protecting your personal technology also means protecting yourself and your interests. If you are at all worried about keeping your tech safe from organizations, other people and even natural disasters, then the Faraday Dry Bag by SLNT is the perfect product for you.

For some readers who may not know exactly what a faraday bag is, it refers to the type of material the bag is lined with (Faraday Material). This material is capable of blocking all types of wireless communication with devices, allowing whatever tech to be surrounded by the material to be “invisible”. As for the actual bag itself, it is covered in a black waterproof nylon material, providing protection from even the wettest environments. It also comes with a detachable and adjustable shoulder strap for easy transportation. Not big enough? Well, SLNT thought you might say that, so they have 3 sizes for you to choose from, allowing you to purchase the perfect size for you and your electronics. The sizes come in 2.5L, 5L, and 10L variants, with none of them weighing more than 1 lb. each.

The Faraday Dry Bag is the ultimate solution for protecting your devices, while traveling, while you are at home. The number of dangers this bag is capable of shielding away is truly staggering, especially if this is the first time hearing about what one is. Don’t want to be tracked by anyone? Faraday Dry Bag is the answer. Worried about hackers? Scammers trying to scan your card through your pants pocket while traveling? Faraday Dry Bag. Concerned about an EMP/ Solar Flare Strike? Faraday Dry Bag. Don’t want anyone to call you? Faraday Dry Bag. In short, The Faraday Dry Bag is able to block out cellular, WIFI, Bluetooth, GPS, EMF, EMP, Key FOB, RFID/NFC, Satellite, Solar Flare, and Signal. On top of all of that, don’t forget that it is also waterproof and rollable!

I will be honest and say when I first saw this bag, I was a little skeptical at how well it would work. How could this bag block out all electronic signals?  My criticism was immediately silenced when I went to try it out with my phone. Without realizing I still had Bluetooth headphones connected to the phone, I put the phone in the pocket and closed it. Almost immediately, I was met with the sputtering of my music then complete silence. When I looked at the bag, I was amazed because it had worked so fast. I also contacted my father, mother and sister and asked them to track my location while the phone was in the bag. Of course, I was completely untraceable through conventional tracking methods by iPhone.

Whether you are someone who values their privacy, then the Faraday Dry Bag is the product for you. It blocks out all communication between other electronics and other harmful attacks such as natural disasters. With its 3-size option and SLNT’s many other Faraday products, you are bound to find a Faraday bag that fits your exact needs.
