I have been convinced of the effectiveness of personal protection products since September 2008, but it was only in September of this year (2011) that I found out about iSAFE backpacks and bags. In fact, I was surprised not to have thought of such a product before. After all, I know of several personal alarms in various formats: some that function as a keychain, some that fit in a purse, some to place on a window or door, and many more. Although these alarms make the noise necessary to call attention to the need for help in a dangerous situation and are relatively inexpensive, they are also easy to leave at home or easy to misplace or misplace.

The iSAFE bag, on the other hand, is the first patented backpack and bag with a built-in mobile personal security alarm system. By simply pulling on a cord located on the shoulder strap of the iSafe backpack, the user can sound two sirens (louder than most car alarms) and a high intensity strobe light to draw attention to their dangerous situation and need for help. To deactivate the alarm, simply reinsert the pin. Reflectors on the shoulder strap provide nighttime visibility for added safety.

The bags are made of very durable nylon, are water and shock resistant, have strong zippers that are not easily damaged and open and close without problems. I SAFE backpacks have several sturdy and spacious compartments to store everything kids, teens, college students and adults might want to carry, including a single compartment for a cell phone or iPod. There is even enough space for a laptop.

In addition, the iSAFE backpack is more comfortable to use thanks to the foam padding and the S-shaped shoulder straps that provide good support for the back. The adjustable chest strap prevents the backpack from being easily removed.

The alarm is powered by two 9V batteries and, if necessary, will run continuously for two hours. If the user gets lost during a walk, they can operate the alarm continuously for two hours or turn it off and on to conserve battery power. However, due to its electrical components, the iSafe backpack cannot be submerged in water.

ISafe bags start at just $ 59.99 and boast the same quality, features, pockets, and durability as leading backpack and bag vendors like Jansport, LL Bean, Northface, and Targus. ISAFE Backpacks and Messenger Bags are available in blue, black, pink, plaid, geometric, multi-color and logo designer fabrics.

The iSafe backpack is ideal for children who want to protect themselves from bullies or predators lurking on the streets, hikers who may need to signal for help, anyone walking through a dark parking lot or parking lot, runners, accident victims, and anyone another person seeking a greater sense of security. As a parent, I feel calm and more secure knowing that my son carries the iSAFE backpack every time he leaves the house.

One may wonder if these bags will pass airport security checks. At this time, it is recommended that the batteries be removed before going through security and allow some additional time at the airport for security personnel to thoroughly check the suitcase.

If you register your iSafe bag purchase online or by phone, you can exchange your backpack for a new one at 50% of the original price. You can do this once a year and there is no limit to the number of times you can change your backpack.
