I bought this as a small purse to bring with me when I travel so I don't have to bring my large Citysafe 200 when I'm at my destination.  I loved the color and the size, but I was very disappointed to learn that the sides of the purse and the strap are not actually slashproof.  I e-mailed the Pacsafe company and they confirmed this to be true.  I didn't want a little purse that could still be cut from my wrist or shoulder at the strap, so I returned it and bought the Slingsafe 75 GII, which is much better.  The strap and sides of the purse are slashproof.  Thankfully, the vendor allowed an easy return.
