Why it's in the bag
This pouch stops it cold.
When it matters
- Parking lot or driveway: attackers with relay boxes amplify your fob signal to unlock doors and start engines remotely. Faraday pouch blocks the signal entirely when the vehicle is unattended.
- Long-term vehicle security during shelter-in-place: if grid collapse triggers widespread theft, stored vehicles need signal protection from opportunistic relay attacks.
- Travel and evacuation: hotel parking, rest areas, temporary shelters. Anywhere your vehicle sits unguarded and relay thieves operate in vehicle-rich areas.
- EDC discipline: protects key fobs in your kit layer when not actively using the vehicle.
What it does
- Blocks relay-attack signals by faraday shielding—prevents remote unlocking and engine start via amplified key fob signals.
- RFID shielding protects against passive readers attempting to scan the fob's ID.
- Portable and lightweight—fits in pocket, pack, or vehicle glove box without bulk.
- Works with all standard key fobs (push-button ignition, proximity sensors, remote locks).
- Non-obvious: teaches discipline—storing fobs in the pouch when not actively driving becomes habit, eliminating careless signal loss.
Built to last
Faraday shielding degrades over time with mechanical stress and environmental exposure; inspect seams and signal-blocking fabric regularly for damage. Does NOT provide general EMP protection (shielding limited to RF frequencies, not magnetic pulse). Will not protect against keypad or physical lock bypass. Effective only if the fob stays inside when the vehicle is parked.
Where it fits your kit
EDC layer. Pairs with Tactical Pen + Glass Breaker for vehicle break-in response, and 11-in-1 EDC Multitool Card for dual redundancy in escape scenarios. These three cover signal security, entry/exit, and field repairs.
Specs
- Shielding: RFID signal-blocking material (Faraday fabric)
- Weight: 35–71 grams (including variants)
- Colors: Red, White, Green, Blue
- Capacity: Single key fob or fob + small item
- Closure: Snap or zipper (fabric-dependent)
Field notes
- Test the shielding monthly: place the fob in the pouch and attempt remote unlock from 10 feet. No response confirms signal block.
- Do not fold or crease the shielding fabric repeatedly—creases degrade the Faraday grid. Store flat or rolled loosely.
- In vehicles with keypad entry, use the pouch when parked; retrieve the fob only when actively entering or starting. Relay attackers scan parking areas—they move on if the signal never appears.
FAQ
Q: Does this block all RF signals? A: It blocks key fob RF frequencies (315MHz and 433MHz). Does not provide general EMP or broadband RF protection—it is designed specifically for relay-attack prevention.
Q: Can I use this in the car while driving? A: No. The pouch blocks the signal, so store the fob outside the pouch when actively using the vehicle. Remove from pouch when entering, replace when parked.
Q: Will it survive a grid-down scenario? A: Yes. Faraday shielding is purely physical—no power required. The fabric remains functional indefinitely if stored dry and protected from physical damage.
