XD Design Bobby Original Anti-Theft Laptop Backpack with USB Port (Unisex Bag)

Product Information

Construction: 2 of 5 — The overall craftsmanship is decent, but some of the materials used seem a little cheap/less durable, especially the foam/padding. The stitching is just average, with some loose threads here and there. I’m not sure how well this bag would fare if treated more roughly.

JustDiggit makes dry land green again by inspiring and activating farmers in Africa. Organization: 4 of 5 — This bag strikes a nice balance of having usable internal organization without overwhelming me. Caraa The Studio Bag Small:While stylish, this bag wasn't comfortable to carry and did not have many of the anti-theft features the other bags had. One tester even felt it was just "an oversized dopp kit." Having said that, I do love the design and think it looks cooler than some of the other bags I’ve reviewed. And even if you’re not a blogger, chances are you’re going to be travelling with some pretty expensive kit too right?Note: The bulk and rigidity of the shape, however, is largely what enables its ability to stand on its own, which I appreciated very much for work. So the fact that it has a relatively large shape with limited capacity is kind of a tradeoff.

XD Design is a proud Dutch brand, selling their products in over 50 countries worldwide. At XD Design they design smart everyday travel wear to empower the modern nomads to feel safe, stay connected and organized and move responsibly. With this bag, business travelers have a briefcase and convenient bag to hold their gear while they explore the city or countryside.Yes, more than one, as I have one for long-haul flights and big trips, and I have a smaller one for the many city trips we always do. Although I am a real suitcase traveler, it sometimes can be hard or less handy to travel with a suitcase. I do think this is a great bag for business travelers who like to do some sightseeing while on a short business trip. And of course, as mentioned before, the Bobby Duffle Bag from XD Design also is a sustainable and eco-friendly bag made by using recycled pet bottles!

Aesthetics: 3 of 5 — When the bag first came out I thought it looked really sleek and clean. It still does, but I think the heathered look is becoming a little dated, and I prefer bags that are less water-droplet shaped. For a start, all my sacred technology and electrical items stayed safe and damage-free – even those temperamental hard drives during some crazy air turbulence! Yes, this is one of the cheapest anti-theft bags around and yet it’s also one of the best and most reputable. My main bit of advice is to be aware that this bag is not designed to hold clothes for a weekend trip. Sherri Gardner, an Associate Editor at TripSavvy, helped with testing in our Brooklyn testing lab. She learned to love travel from her father and has traveled domestically since she was a child and internationally since she was a teen.Last but not least, the Bobby Duffle Bag fits as an internationally approved carry-on size. Very important for travelers that travel light and travel with hand luggage only, this is your new travel essential! For me it means it’s the only bag I need to take with me when going on a short city trip abroad. XD Design Bobby Duffle Bag Review While our testers liked the vegan and recycled construction, they also reported that the handles were uncomfortable. Cut-proof layer — fortunately, I’ve never had to test this. But it may be worth pointing out that the fabric itself is not cut proof, there is just a rigid poly-something plastic sheet between the external and internal fabric to keep a knife from cutting all the way through.

Are you looking for the perfect day bag for your next overseas trip or perhaps the best carry-on for your next long-haul flight? I must admit, I do miss the external side pouch to carry a water bottle or umbrella. I always take re-usable water bottles with me, and an external side pouch is just the perfect place to keep them while traveling.I also wanted something that I could walk around European cities wearing, with my valuables again safely stored away from any prying hands! Being a blogger, it’s a sad fact that I now have to carry more and more technology with me when I travel these days – from laptops to cameras, hard drives to power banks, there’s a ton of valuable stuff I just can’t set sail without anymore. With this bag, they have a compact option that will keep their electronics safe while commuting to work. So, when I got the opportunity to try this addition to the XD Design family, I couldn’t have been more enthusiastic. Taking the bag with me on my travels has been great so far, it fits everything I need and it fits as much as a carry on suitcase. For me, most of the time on city trips I now prefer the Bobby Duffle Bag as it’s so much easier to take with me.
