1. Doleira (Waist bag)

Making access difficult for scouts may be the most important strategy to avoid getting into a trap! Therefore, a great option is to use a waist bag, the popular “doleira”. It is simple, light and can be worn under your clothes.

To improve, the market offers money changers with RFID blocking material, a type of material that limits credit card scanning functions to prevent your credit card and identity information from being electronically stolen.

For those who don't want to give up their wallet, whether due to size or habit, our recommendation is that it has at least one string so it can be attached to your bag, backpack or clothes, making it more difficult for people to take it away from you without realizing it. If you want a boost, there are also options with RFID blocking.
