Faraday EMF Bags
A Faraday bag is lined with conductive shielding fabric, built on the idea of a Faraday cage: a conductive layer around your device that shields electromagnetic fields and blocks wireless signals such as RFID. This range has two everyday bags, the Faraday EMF RFID Shielding Backpack and the Faraday EMF Shielding RFID Tote Bag. Each is lined with EMF-shielding, RFID-blocking material, so you can put your phone, laptop or tablet, bank cards and car keys inside, close the bag fully, and carry on.
Frequently asked questions
A bag with a conductive lining that surrounds what you put inside it. A true Faraday cage is a complete conductive enclosure; our bags are lined bags that close with a zip or a drawstring, so how well they perform depends on closing them fully and keeping everything you want shielded entirely inside the lining.
Two things. The lining is RFID-blocking, which reduces the chance of criminals cloning or stealing data from bank cards and makes it much harder to read or relay the signal from a keyless entry car key. And it is EMF-shielding, which reduces the EMF radiation reaching you from a phone or other wireless device while it is in the bag. No bag can promise to block every signal in every situation, so treat a Faraday bag as one layer of protection, not a guarantee.
A shielded phone may miss calls, texts and notifications while it is in the bag, because the lining reduces the signals reaching it. Take it out when you want to use it.
Choose by how you like to carry. The Faraday EMF Shielding RFID Tote Bag is white with a pink WCH logo, measures 15.7 x 11.8 inches (40 x 30 cm) and closes with a zip. The Faraday EMF RFID Shielding Backpack is black with a pink WCH logo, measures 16.5 x 13 inches (42 x 33 cm) and closes with a drawstring.
Fasten the bag fully closed when you use it, for the best performance. You can hand wash either bag in cool water, but only when necessary, to keep the lining working at its best.
