Sherpani Vale AT Reversible Crossbody review

The Sherpani Vale AT is the pick for travelers who want one bigger purse for the whole travel day. Sherpani lists it at 12L, 13.5 x 14 x 4.5 in. and 15.2 oz, sized as an airline personal item for most US airlines, and the fold-over panel opens to add room when you move the strap to the upper D-rings. Anti-theft features include Hypalon loop zipper locks, exterior pockets with zippered tunnel locks, a chair loop lock cable, RFID blocking, and a slash-proof strap and bottom. Sherpani's own FAQ is clear that the rest of the body is not slash-resistant, which is a weaker spec than the Pacsafe and Travelon bags. The bag is reversible with four ways to wear, all hardware is metal, and the crossbody strap adjusts from 27 in. to 52 in. The list price is $95; Sherpani was running a 30% Black Friday sale when we checked. We compared documented features and published prices.
