iSafe Collegiate Laptop Backpack

Everyone agrees that the right outdoor equipment can make your family safer, but the new iSafe Collegiate Laptop Backpack elevates personal security to a whole new level. Like the Clark Kent/Superman scenario, this inauspicious pack cloaks a superhero-level alarm system. Hidden underneath a velcro-secured patch on the shoulder strap is an activation pin for the alarm. In case of emergency, you slip your fingers under the strap and pull the pin out of its housing (like a grenade). A painful, ear-splitting staccato siren erupts. Much louder and more shrill than a smoke alarm, the device is so loud that it’s a near-guaranteed deterrent for a would-be attacker, human or otherwise. Four LED lights on back of the pack blink when the alarm is activated. Inside is room for raingear and a down jacket, lunch, and a day’s supply of gear for your next urban or backcountry adventure. We’re still researching on the siren’s impact on bear, cougar, and wolves, but during testing, it cleared a room of tough guys in less than five seconds. Our testers also gave the pack a two-thumbs up for camping with kids—if they get lost, the siren’s as good as any audible locator beacon or whistle we’ve tested. Warning: You’ll want ear protection when testing this pack and, definitely, don’t let your toddler play with it while on an airplane or crowded theater.
Note the hidden alarm trigger on right shoulder strap (you know it is there, the bad guys don’t).
