REI Has a Sherpani Anti Theft Backpack for 50% 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.” It also has three different security features to keep you and your belongings safe. Best part of all—you can snag it for a whopping 50 percent off right now.

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. Just imagine the added peace of mind this will give you as you’re sitting at a sidewalk cafe or grabbing a bite to eat at a bustling city center.

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. Per REI, it has a capacity of 14 liters, or roughly 30.8 pounds. In addition to 13- and 16-inch laptops, shoppers say they can comfortably carry all their essentials inside it while traveling, including “snacks, an extra layer, and a water bottle,” plus shoes, books, over-ear headphones, and various charging cables.

It’s also worth noting that this backpack is sustainably made and features waterproof nylon crafted from recycled materials, such as billboards and fishing nets. This means it feels extremely lightweight, even when filled. A traveler who used the bag as both a backpack and a crossbody during a 10-day trip overseas said they could “fill it up without it bulging outward.” Another person praised its “compact” design, calling it “great for storing under airplane seats.”

Add three extra layers of security to your next vacation by snagging Sherpani’s Mia Pack in one of the two vibrant colors—Dolomite and Antalope—for just $60 right now. Plus, check more discounted travel backpacks from REI below.
