“I work late night shifts in a shady area of town. Wearing a bulky bulletproof vest is out of the question. But this backpack does a great job for me.”
John R. · Verified buyer
Built for everyday carry

More than a bag. It's a shield.

Anti-theft

Stops relay attacks on keyless car fobs. While the fob is sealed inside, thieves can't boost its signal to unlock your car.

Travel Safety

Blocks RFID and NFC reads of passports and contactless cards kept in the Faraday pocket.

Data Security

Cuts cellular, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections, so a sealed phone or laptop can't be reached remotely.

Device Integrity

Keeps evidence devices offline, which helps prevent remote wiping or changes to stored data.

THE THREAT

Your devices broadcast all day

Phones, contactless cards and car key fobs send signals that can be tracked, read or relayed. A regular backpack does nothing about that, and nothing against a bullet either.

Tracked

Your phone checks in with cell towers, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth all day and shares its location with apps and data brokers.

Seal it in a Faraday phone bag

Relayed

Keyless car fobs answer any signal nearby. Thieves use relay devices to carry that signal to your car and drive away.

How to stop key fob relay theft

Soft target

A regular backpack is fabric and zippers. It gives you no ballistic protection at all.

Faraday bag & backpack FAQ

What is a Faraday bag?

A Faraday bag is a pouch or bag lined with layers of conductive, metalized fabric. The lining spreads incoming radio signals around the outside of the bag, so signals can't get in or out. Close the bag fully, because a gap lets signal through.

How Faraday bags work

What signals does a Faraday bag block?

Cellular (4G LTE and the 5G bands most phones use), GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, RFID and NFC. While a device is sealed inside, it can't send or receive those signals, so it can't be tracked, reached remotely or skimmed.

EMF frequency guide

Does a Faraday bag block 5G?

Most 5G phones connect on bands below 6 GHz, the same range as 4G LTE, and our shielding is designed for signals up to 10 GHz. High-band mmWave 5G (24 GHz and up) is only used in parts of some U.S. cities and is outside that design range.

EMF frequency guide

How do I test a Faraday bag at home?

Seal your phone inside, close the bag fully and call it from another phone. If the call goes straight to voicemail, the bag is working. You can also check that Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drop the connection.

See our test results

Can a Faraday bag stop keyless car theft?

Yes. In a relay attack, thieves pick up your key fob signal from inside your home and pass it to your car so it unlocks and starts. A fob sealed in a Faraday pouch can't be reached, so there is nothing to relay.

Keyless car theft explained

Can a Faraday bag stop phone tracking?

While your phone is sealed, it can't connect to cell towers, GPS, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, so it can't report its location. Once you take it out, it reconnects and apps can share your location again.

Faraday bag vs phone case

Can RFID cards and passports be skimmed?

Contactless cards and passports can be read at close range, usually within a few centimeters. Real-world skimming is uncommon, but an RFID-blocking pocket stops the read completely while the card is inside.

Shop Faraday bags

Can Faraday bags protect electronics from an EMP?

A sealed Faraday bag adds a layer of shielding that can reduce the energy reaching a device, which is why many people store backup electronics in one. No consumer bag carries an official EMP rating, and we don't claim one.

Faraday bag types and features

What should I keep in a Faraday bag?

A spare phone, radios, a backup hard drive, car key fobs and any other electronics you want kept offline and ready to use.

3 reasons you need a Faraday bag

Does aluminum foil work as a Faraday cage?

Only partly. Foil tears easily, has no proper seal and gives inconsistent results, so it works as an experiment but not as everyday protection.

What does NIJ Level IIIA mean?

NIJ Level IIIA is the National Institute of Justice rating for soft body armor tested against handgun rounds. The Shield backpack's removable Kevlar insert is built to that standard and was independently tested against 9mm at Element U.S. Space & Defense: six shots, zero penetrations. Level IIIA is not rated for rifle rounds.

See the test results

Are bulletproof backpacks legal?

In most of the U.S., adults can buy and carry a bullet-resistant backpack. A few states limit how body armor is sold, for example New York and Connecticut, and federal law bars people convicted of a violent felony from owning body armor. Check your state rules before you buy.

Shop bullet-resistant backpacks

Are Faraday bags legal?

Yes. Faraday bags are legal to own and use in the U.S. Law enforcement, the military and digital forensics teams use them every day.

Why choose a Faraday backpack?

A Faraday backpack gives you shielded pockets for your phone, key fob and cards plus room for a laptop and daily gear. Our ballistic models add a removable NIJ IIIA insert in the same bag.

Shop Faraday backpacks

Does EMF-shielding clothing work?

Silver-fiber fabric reduces radio signals that pass through it. Unlike a sealed Faraday bag, it only covers the area of the garment, so it lowers exposure instead of blocking signals completely.

Shop EMF-blocking apparel

What is your return and warranty policy?

30-day returns on every order (10% restocking fee, return shipping paid by the customer), a 2-year warranty on gear (apparel excluded) and free shipping to the contiguous U.S. on orders over $149.
