Living in a big city is a challenge. Every day up to 400,000 pickpocketing occurs in the world, and, unfortunately, no one is immune from this. Nobody except the owner of the unique Bobby backpack from XD Design. Launched on Kickstarter, the backpack immediately attracted a huge following with its anti-thief design, ergonomic design, weight distribution system, LED strips and (even!) A USB port to charge your phone! Everything is thought out to the smallest detail in this backpack, from the special attachment for travel suitcases to the original YKK zipper.

Oddly enough, the XD Design designer's backpack was inspired by the crowded places of Shanghai. Worried about the safety of their belongings, passers-by wore a backpack on their stomach. Then the idea was born to create a unique backpack against thieves. How can you get to the contents of a backpack if it doesn't have a zipper? At first glance, it seems that the backpack does not open at all. This is the uniqueness of the design.

The zipper into the main section goes right along the edge of the back of the backpack itself. The unique concept allows the backpack to be opened at three different angles: 30 °, 90 °, 180 °. For easy and quick access, for example, to a notebook or tablet, it is enough to open the backpack at an angle of 30 °, holding it by the top handle. Place the backpack on the table and open it 90 ° comfortably. If you want to get something very large out of your backpack, just put it down and open it like a suitcase for 180 ° travel.

To protect the backpack from crushing and attempts to cut the material, the developers have applied the effect of layering. Five layers of different types of materials were used to create a solid structure. The top layer is a stylish polyester fabric. The fabric on the sides and front of the backpack is waterproof. It is followed by a layer of soft material that protects against impacts, and then several layers of fabric, providing additional reliability. Basic notch protection is guaranteed by the insertion of a plastic sheet in front of the lining.

Traveling by public transport, it is very problematic and inconvenient to look for a wallet or a travel ticket at the very bottom of the backpack. To make our life as easy as possible, the designers of the backpack equipped it with pockets for quick access. A small pocket on the inside of the shoulder strap holds your travel card or keys. There are also two pockets on the back of the backpack, one of which is zipped. They can store documents and a mobile phone.

Reflectors are located in four zones on the backpack: two on the sides at the top, one in the form of a strip on the front side, and the third is the company logo itself. Reflectors shine evenly over the entire 360 ​​°, no matter which side the light source was from. You will be visible already at a distance of 100 meters.

On the inside of the right shoulder strap there is a USB port to which you can connect your gadget if the battery runs out. You just need to connect an external battery inside to the cable, which is sold separately and is not included in the package.

A well-thought-out organization of departments allows you to correctly distribute weight and reduce the load on the shoulders. The heaviest objects are located closest to the back, and strong baffles between the sections prevent weight from moving when moving. So the weight of the backpack is perceived 20-25% lighter than when using standard backpack models. Maximum comfort is achieved by special finishing of the back and shoulder straps. The ventilated soft material will keep your back from sweating or getting tired even from a day of wearing a backpack over your shoulders.

The ergonomic distribution of the compartments inside the backpack allows you to put a laptop, tablet, writing utensils, clothes, a water bottle, charger, headphones and much more in separate compartments. Books of all sizes can fit into Bobby, and a laptop with a diagonal of 15.6 inches.

Bobby fasteners - an original zipper from the world famous Japanese brand YKK, complemented by a stylish slider with the XD Design logo. Often, it is the quality of the fittings that largely determines the service life of the product itself. In this case, the backpack will serve for many, many years.

Travel for your own pleasure! Thanks to the well-thought-out strap on the back of the backpack, it is very convenient to attach it to the handle of a suitcase. Connect an external battery inside the backpack and charge your gadgets while traveling.

XD Design Bobby Bizz is a convertible backpack that can also be used as a stylish briefcase for business meetings. It has a discreet design and a rather thin profile compared to its predecessor classic model. There is a dedicated compartment for storing a 15.6-inch laptop, and there is also a large compartment for a 9.7-inch tablet. In addition to the main sections, inside there are small zippered pockets, a key hook, and a USB port (2.4A) to which you can connect a battery. The peculiarity of this backpack is its well-thought-out protection against pickpockets, so it will be an excellent solution for storing securities and other important things.

Design

XD Design Bobby Bizz is designed in austere black and has an angular flat body. The lack of decorative elements further emphasizes its business style. In this model, the pockets are designed in such a way that all zippers are hidden under the fabric fold and are difficult to see. This original version is thought out to the smallest detail. In order for it to take the form of both a backpack and a briefcase, the manufacturer has provided a hidden system for storing detached straps (a hidden pocket in the back of the backpack). All compartments and pockets are very intelligently distributed throughout the portfolio (for heavier things, the sections are located at the back) in order to evenly distribute the load on the shoulders and back.

Reliable anti-theft protection

The main feature of a business backpack is its reliable protection from all sides. The presence of a metal frame on the sides and a multi-layer structure ensure proper protection of the contents. The first layer of polyester prevents moisture from getting inside during rain or snow, the second layer is a soft material that absorbs external shocks well and keeps the equipment intact, and then three layers of polypropylene, guaranteeing complete protection from cuts.

Additional security against pickpocketing is provided by a combination lock located on the right shoulder strap and a strong metal cable, thanks to which the briefcase can be attached to the seat back while waiting for your flight. At night, you will also not go unnoticed, as the front side has a logo and a vertical reflective stripe.

Peculiarities:

• Backpack to briefcase transformation
• Stylish slim design
• Hidden pockets
• Code lock
• Perimeter metal protection
• 5-layer anti-notch structure
• Uniform load distribution

Video review of the XD Design Bobby backpack

What's this?

The XD Design Bobby XL is an oversized version of the popular XD Design Bobby anti-theft backpack. Bobby backpacks are specially designed for life in the big city and are suitable for both everyday use and travel. Like the first model, the XD Design Bobby XL is equipped with an anti-theft system, an integrated USB port for charging gadgets and reflective stripes. The backpack is thought out to the smallest detail: the material used is fabric that cannot be torn or cut, the zippers are hidden, and the weight of the luggage is perceived 20% lighter thanks to the competent organization of the internal compartments.

The Bobby XL is the perfect backpack for long trips. It has become larger, so that it includes more things, which is useful for suddenly prolonged travels. The XD Design Bobby XL is equipped with two compartments for gadgets: for a laptop up to 17 "and for a tablet up to 10".

Design

Neither open nor cut

When creating the first Bobby, the designers were inspired by the noisy and crowded streets of Shanghai. There, people wore their backpacks on their belly so that no one could get to their belongings in the crowd. Thieves are not afraid of the Bobby XL backpack - its zipper is hidden from prying eyes and, at first glance, it seems that it does not exist at all. The peculiarity of the zipper is that it runs along the very edge of the backrest, so that it is not visible from the outside. The design of the backpack allows you to open it at three different angles:

• 30 ° - for easy access to a tablet, laptop or other gadgets;
• 90 ° - for access to volumetric objects;
• 180 ° - for convenient packing of all things.

The quality of the fittings plays an important role in a backpack and often largely determines its service life. The original zipper from the world famous Japanese brand YKK, which is complemented by a slider with the XD Design logo, acts as the fasteners for the Bobby XL. YKK zippers not only provide easy opening and closing of the backpack, but also its long service life.

Attackers will not only be able to open the backpack, but also cut it open. When creating Bobby XL, the developers applied the multi-layer effect: the top layer of the backpack is made of water-repellent polyester, followed by a layer of soft material that protects against impacts, and then several layers of fabric for additional reliability. In addition to a soft insert, a plastic insert protects the contents of the backpack from damage during a fall or collision.

Fits everything: more than a regular Bobby

The XD Design Bobby XL holds everything that can be useful both during a normal day and while traveling. It is larger than the original Bobby and has compartments for a 17 "laptop and 10" tablet. In addition to them, you can distribute a spare jacket or windbreaker, books and various writing utensils, a water bottle, chargers, headphones and much more to different compartments.

Bobby XL has a carefully thought-out organization of internal compartments, thanks to which the weight of the things folded into it is perceived to be 20-25% less. In a backpack, heavy objects are located closest to the back, and rigid partitions between the compartments do not allow the contents to mix with each other. To keep your back from getting tired and sweating throughout the day, the back of the backpack has soft ventilated inserts. The same inserts are also present on the shoulder straps.

How it works?

Everything is thought out in the XD Design Bobby XL backpack so that you can move around the city in comfort. On the inside of the shoulder strap there is a pocket for quick access to a travel card, bank card or keys. There are also two secret pockets on the back of the backpack, in which you can put important documents or a smartphone.

Especially for those who spend a lot of time on the road, the backpack has a built-in USB port. Just connect your portable battery to it from the inside and the backpack will turn into a power source, allowing you to charge your smartphone, tablet or other gadget on the go.

The developers thought not only about the comfort, but also about the user's safety. On the front, top and sides of the backpack, there are reflectors that shine 360 ​​° and allow you to see you already at a distance of 100 meters.

For those traveling with a lot of luggage, the Bobby XL has a wide strap on the back that allows you to conveniently attach it to the handle of your suitcase.

!! ! Beware of counterfeits. We only sell original Bobby backpacks.

There are not so many good backpacks that fit a 17 "laptop. The first backpack from the XD Design Bobby family was a real discovery, but it was positioned as a purely urban, and therefore did not differ in large volume. This time, the Dutch designers have given the choice to those who love both comfort and spaciousness.With Bobby XL you can take with you to the city not only a laptop and a tablet, but also, say, a sweater or a light jacket, full-size (and not necessarily foldable) headphones, a book and documents, and for someone a backpack suitable even for a short business trip.

Backpack "anti-thief"

It is important that the increased size did not in any way affect many of the already beloved qualities of the Bobby series - first of all, the anti-theft concept. Like its predecessors, Bobby XL is sewn from several layers of durable materials, making it impossible to open it mechanically. The outer frame, firstly, protects the contents of the backpack from moisture and shock, and secondly, it helps to keep its shape, regardless of the fullness. The zipper is hidden under the lapel of the fabric, and therefore it will not work to open the backpack without the knowledge of the owner.

Internal ergonomics

The zipper surrounds the backpack, so the Bobby XL can be opened at three angles: 30 °, 90 ° and 180 °. Depending on the situation, you can either get the necessary thing in transport and close your backpack, or collect everything you need for the trip at home. Internal compartments are thought out to the smallest detail: heavy equipment is placed in compartments at the back and protected by elastic bands in case of a fall; there is a place for an external battery.

Backrest and weight relief

Thanks to the organization of the internal space, the weight of the content is perceived 20-25% less. The rigid frame of the back helps the backpack to maintain its shape, and its wearer less tired during the day. Soft ventilated inserts in the shoulder straps and on the back wick away heat and moisture, so even after a long period of wearing, the shirt will not leave streaks. In the lower part there is a compartment in which it is convenient to store documents and valuables, as well as a strap for attaching to luggage.

Useful little things

All accessories are made by the Japanese company YKK, so the backpack is easy to use and will last for a long time. Reflective stripes on the body of the backpack will help drivers see you at a safe distance and protect you in the dark. A hidden pocket in one of the shoulder straps is ideal for storing travel passes or small items for quick access. Finally, an external USB port is a proprietary feature of Bobby backpacks, and Bobby XL is no exception: with it you can also charge gadgets on the go, having put your powerbank in your backpack in advance.
