Backpacks with a metal cable

Metal cable

— a sturdy metal cable with a lock that allows you to attach the backpack to an immovable or heavy object, such as a lamppost in a park or a table leg in a cafe. For convenience and compactness, such an “anti-theft system” is often built right into the strap. It serves primarily as a protection against theft "on a jerk": a thief will not be able to quickly grab a "tied" backpack and run away with it, and it will not work to quietly steal the prey. And cutting the cable, unlike the usual webbing, is not so easy, this requires a special tool and a margin of time. In addition, on some models, the cable can also lock the zippers in the closed position, preventing unauthorized access to the contents.
