If you’ve never experienced lost luggage at the airport, consider yourself lucky. But for most people, this is an unfortunate inevitability likely experienced at least a few times in life. And just like any sort of insurance, taking precautions before a mishap is the only real way to safeguard yourself from never finding your bag again and, worse, having your precious valuables stolen. To help with peace-of-mind, Knog has come out with a fantastic device called the Scout Travel, so that you can always keep track of your bags, even if you’re not near them.
Billed as the world’s smartest luggage tag, the Scout Travel is built tough, it’s water resistant, weighs just 35g (~1.2oz), and works in tandem with Apple’s Find My so you can locate your bags in real-time and from virtually anywhere on Earth. You simply download the Knog companion app (only on iOS) and input your contact information. If anyone comes across the bag and scans the unique QR code on its side, they will have access to the info that you’ve made available. Not only that, but the Scout Travel works as an anti-theft device as well, built with a motion-sensitive 85dB alarm while also sending a notification to your smartphone if you’re in Bluetooth range.
Designed to strap on your bag like a luggage tag, the Scout Travel is even more secure than that, strapping on via an anti-tamper bolt and braided stainless-steel cable that can’t be easily removed. These come in two separate length options as well for those who might have a bulkier handle on their bag. Likewise, the device comes in five different colorways so you can actually style it with your suitcase. Charging via a USB-C port, the Scout Travel has a long battery life of between 2 to 4 months, with a notification when it hits 20%.
Have more peace of mind when traveling and get yourself and your loved ones a Scout Travel luggage tag – you can manage up to 10 in the Knog companion app. It’s available now through Knog’s website for $60 and the company backs each purchase with a 2-year warranty. Readers can use code “SCOUT20” for 20% off the Scout Travel until the end of the year.
