Crafted with city exploration in mind, the Pacsafe Vibe 325 (around $69) will deter nefarious criminals with its patented stainless steel wire mesh that's embedded right into the tough 210D nylon twill fabric, and it boasts an abundance of pockets, so you can keep your gear organized.

A gender-neutral selection that pairs well with myriad outfits, the Topnice Sling (about $25) will set your mind at ease if you're worried about electronic pickpocketing, as it's equipped with an RFID-blocking zippered compartment designed to safeguard your credit cards and passport.

An ideal solution for the globetrotter who requires a lightweight, yet capacious, design, the Travelon Classic Backpack (about $52) sports a minimalist look and plenty of features to deter pilfering hands, such as cut-resistant straps and body panels, and interlocking zippers.

Great for business or weekend trips, the slim and sleek-looking Kopack Laptop Backpack (about $35) will serve on-the-go professionals well with its built-in USB charging port and ample space for various electronics, folders, pens, and whatever else you may need at a moment's notice.

The Travelon Messenger (appx. $45) is an unobtrusive crossbody that's still roomy enough to accommodate all the items you'll need during the day. In addition to its slash-resistant body and cable-reinforced strap, it also offers a removable LED light and a handy pen loop.

You won't have to sacrifice form for function with the Travelon Signature (appx. $44), an attractive design that will confound slash-and-grab thieves and discourage sticky-fingered evildoers with adjustable straps that cannot be cut and three spacious locking compartments.

Although it's not rife with theft-deterrents, the Pincnel Rucksack (appx. $35) will do nicely for women who want something moderately secure for commuting or exploring reasonably safe areas. It uses a clever, reverse-zippered design to ensure that its contents are never fiddled with.

Boldly colored in a vibrant moss green, the Lewis N. Clark Crossbody (appx. $33) would be difficult to misplace. This slimline, nylon selection is outfitted with a hidden steel cable and a water-repellent PU coating, not to mention it's got locking hardware to keep articles secure.
