I tucked a stealthy $15 tracker into my favorite jacket – now I no longer travel without it

Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source changed my life. Not only did they reduce my day to day stress levels when I misplace my keys or wallet, but they’re a great tool for helping you keep and eye on — and even find — things when traveling. But, as I’ve said many times before, AirTags aren’t really designed to be discreet. In fact, they’re designed to stand out to prevent them being used for stalking. 

But there are times when discretion is a good thing. For example, if I’m using AirTags to track my luggage or backpack or expensive Gore Tex jacket, I don’t want it to be easy to find and remove. Elevation Lab has the answer with its new TagVault Fabric Extreme, along with a variety to make easier. And the TagVault Fabric Extreme is as good as everything else the company makes.

The capsule unscrews easily to add the AirTag or to replace the battery.

. But this is a far more convenient way, and it’s a lot easier for when it comes time to replace the battery in the AirTag because I don’t have to dig the tag out of some crevice. 

Here is the Elevation Lab TagVault fitted to my backpack.

And the adhesive doesn’t seem to be bothered by rain or moisture in the least.

I’m in the final stages of planning a long distance hike in Spain later this year, and you can be sure that these are being used on all my valuables
