One clever dodge to protect from pickpockets that I came across
many years ago is to pack your gear in a baby's nappy ( daiper
for US Citizens) bag. These are usually brightly coloured and quite well
padded for protection. I cannot think of a pickpocket snatching a
bag of dirty , smelly used nappies!!!!
Of course the interior can be customised with partitions from your
regular camera bag.
