This Compact REI Backpack Has 3 'Innovative' Design Details to Keep You Safe While Traveling-and It's Half Off

"Even if you've never experienced a travel mishap yourself, personal safety while you're on vacation is always a top priority. There's nothing worse than getting pickpocketed abroad, so our eyes are always peeled for new ways to keep ourselves-and our prized possessions -extra secure. We currently have our sights set on one particular bag at REI, the Sherpani Mia Pack. Despite its miniature size, shoppers say this "small but mighty bag" is "deceptively pretty roomy.""

"Like some other travel backpacks, the Mia pack features RFID-blocking technology to protect credit cards, IDs, passports, and other sensitive materials from digital theft. But that's not all-this backpack has an "innovative" detail that shoppers say "would certainly stop a grab and dash situation." Known as an internal lock loop system, the bag comes with slash-proof tethers that let you securely attach it to a chair arm or table leg."

"What's more, the Mia pack comes with a ReturnMe tag that serves as a universal lost-and-found system. This means that if your bag is lost or stolen while you're traveling and later found, you'll be able to get it back free of charge as long as the tag has been activated. Security attributes aside, the Mia pack is super spacious, contains "internal pockets galore," and "has great organization," per reviewers. One fan counted eleven different pockets and compartments on the bag's interior and exterior, including a side bottle pocket and a padded computer sleeve."

The Sherpani Mia Pack combines multiple anti-theft elements: RFID-blocking lining for cards and passports, an internal lock loop system with slash-proof tethers to secure the bag to furniture, and an included ReturnMe tag that enables free recovery if the tag is activated. The compact pack delivers notable organization with numerous internal and external pockets, a padded computer sleeve, and a side bottle pocket; one user counted eleven compartments. The bag's capacity is 14 liters (about 30.8 pounds) and accommodates 13- and 16-inch laptops. The Mia Pack is currently offered at a 50 percent discount.
