Faraday EMF Bags
A Faraday bag is a bag 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 is deliberately simple: two everyday bags, the Faraday EMF RFID Shielding Backpack and the Faraday EMF Shielding RFID Tote Bag, each $39.99 and each carrying the World Council for Health (WCH) logo. 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. They are built for everyday use rather than the spy movie shelf.
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 car keys stored inside. 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.
Your mobile phone, laptop or tablet, bank cards and car keys, along with whatever else you normally carry in a bag. Keep the items you want shielded fully inside the lining, and close the bag all the way.
A phone that is shielded 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. That is the point of a Faraday bag: your phone is shielded when you choose to shield it.
Yes. Put your car keys inside, and the RFID-blocking lining makes it much harder for thieves to read or relay the signal from a keyless entry key. Both bags are large enough to carry your keys along with your phone and laptop.
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. Both are $39.99.
Fasten the bag fully closed when you use it, for the best performance. You can hand wash either bag in cool water, but we suggest doing so only when necessary, to keep the lining working at its best.
