Bobby Anti-Theft backpack Review
Although I have been traveling for so long now, I could never be so sure about the safety of the things in my backpack. I always have to be wary of pickpockets, losing valuable documents like passports, and the like. This is why I always make sure to check the durability and security features of my backpacks.
Bobby Antitheft Backpack Advanced Storage Design
The kickstarter released Bobby Anti-Theft backpack by XD Design is packed with the features of modern security, being lightweight, balanced, and shock-proof. Here are the best things about this backpack:
Advanced Storage Design.
Unlike average bags, this backpack has a very convenient and rather advanced storage design. It snuggly fits large gadgets like tablets or iPads, documents and other paper items, and water bottles, to name a few. All this can be stored in one huge and comfortable compartment—which means less hassle in opening unnecessarily several zippers.
Bobby Antitheft Backpack can be opened in either 30°, 90°, or 180°, just like a bag and a suitcase. The best part of this is the…
YKK Zipper.
The durable YKK Zipper is shock-proof, and long lasting. The zipper is located at the back, not at the front. People with malicious intentions will definitely have a hard time discovering this.
Quick Access Pockets.
The cleverly hidden pockets at the sides, back, and front (at the strap), give you quick access to items like cellphones, IDs, or other handy things that you frequently need, and you don’t have to take off your backpack to get it. Very handy.
Waterproof.
This bag is for all weathers. Even during the rainy season, rest assured that all your belongings will be safe and dry inside. With a single swipe, you can also get your bag looking good and new, even if it got rained on for a while.
Anti-Cut, Anti-theft, and Shock-Proof.
With five layers of fabric and protection, you can be rest assured that your bag can resist any petty attempts of cutting the surface. A cut-proof PP protection board, 6 mm anti-shock foam, and the sleek 300D/600D external fabric layers give the backpack an awesome appearance. The spongy layer at the back, where the zipper is located, makes the bag shock-proof and cushions collisions.
Road Security.
The bag is lined with reflective bars at the back and sides, which makes traveling at night safer and better. The bars can reflect light up to 100 meters.
Weight Balance.
Designed to have an even distribution of weight, the Bobby Antitheft Backpack traces the shape of the back and the area above the waist, giving it a very balanced and comfortable weight on your back.
Integrated USB Charging port.
If you are a digital nomad like me, you will simply love the USB external charging feature. The bag comes with a built-in wire, from which you just have to connect your device for charging—no need to open the entire thing just to get your power bank or charger.
Final verdict
If you are a traveler like me, getting your own Bobby backpack is a need. I can’t find anything negative about this product. It’s simply perfect. It comes in very neutral colors, grey, black, and red, and it’s priced reasonably.
The only downside is that it is not available in physical stores in the Philippines, so if you’re an eager shopper and can’t wait, I suggest you buy your own now from Lazada, Amazon or from the XD Design official website.
