1. Is the entire bag slash-proof or just certain parts?
Only the bottom of the bag and the strap are slash-resistant.
2. Can the Vale AT expand for more capacity when needed?
The Vale expands by shifting the strap attachment to the upper D-rings, opening the fold-over panel, and increasing the bag's interior space beyond the standard 12L. It’s perfect for moments when you need a little extra space for a water bottle, a sweater, or other travel items.
3. Is the hardware on the Vale AT metal or plastic?
All hardware on the Vale AT is metal.
