GoDark Faraday Bags Dry Bag (Black, 5L)

The 5L Dry Bag from GoDark Faraday Bags protects against location tracking and prevents your electronic devices from being hacked due to electrostatic discharge, solar flare, or electromagnetic pulse (EMP). Made from two layers of GoDark RF shielding fabric to exceed 100 dB of EMF signal attenuation, it meets the MIL-STD-188-125-2 standardized military test for High Altitude EMP shielding. The material blocks incoming and outgoing EMF signals from your cell phone, tablet, and other mobile devices between 200 MHz and 40 GHz, including GPS, 4G/5G phones, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth technologies. Keep your laptop, radio, solar charger, and other portable devices available in the event of an EMP, and maintain access to survival guides, first aid, offline maps, and mesh network communications.

This IPX7-rated bag is waterproof to keep your contents safe in the harshest environments. The roll-top closure ensures protection from water and dust, making it ideal for outdoor activities and use in rough terrain. It has a durable 600D polyester shell with a PU coating and a TPU backing for puncture resistance and can be fully submersed in up to 3.3' of water for up to 30 minutes without damage to contents. The interior padding and felt lining provide additional protection and keep the signal-blocking material from being damaged with repeated use. An adjustable sling strap provides comfortable carrying over your shoulder or crossbody style.

Although turning off your device may seem like a viable solution to protect your privacy, it may not be the most reliable option. Journalists, photographers, activists, and travelers can take comfort knowing they can use their phones to take photos, make emergency calls, or send texts while preserving privacy. Modern smartphones have multiple subsystems, one of which controls the radio transmitter and receiver, so even with your phone turned off, this subsystem can still operate. Your phone may still be capable of transmitting and receiving signals. Apple's "Find My" app is an example of this technology, which can locate an iPhone even when it is turned off or in power reserve mode. Airplane Mode disconnects your device from the cellular network to help protect your privacy, but it may still be vulnerable to other forms of surveillance, including GPS tracking or Wi-Fi hacking. Use this bag to block all incoming and outgoing EMF signals and keep your devices protected.
