I was traveling in Germany with a girlfriend a long time ago and I’ll never forget the time she held up a huge guidebook in the town square, looked at me through foggy glasses, and said, “This book shows us how to blend in like locals,” while she was wearing a massive backpack and crying in the rain. She was right; we blended right in. She might have been better off with this Pacsafe StashSafe 100 Hip Pack, which is like a nerdy, soccer mom equivalent of handcuffing a briefcase to your wrist. You can actually take the pack off and lock it to a bike rack or beach chair if you want to go for a swim and don’t have anyone to watch your gear. I supposed you could even lock it to yourself, but if you then locked the keys inside of it you’d have a really hard time getting through security on your way home. The StashSafe 100 Hip Pack costs about $40.
