A New Breed of Backpack Design

Posted on by

The process of designing a product as commonplace as a bag can be quite a challenging one. How do you create something that someone already hasn’t done before? The backpack market is vast and oftentimes it all boils down to being able to integrate a new feature into the bag that makes it more useful, or more desirable, or both.

In a sea of backpacks, the Fiets and Fiets backpack manages to stand out for a number of reasons. It’s waterproof, weatherproof, stainproof, and lightweight. It comes in a rolltop format with multiple miniature bags that fit inside like modules, allowing you to segregate your items like camera equipment, clothes, and toiletries. It even has separate external compartments for your EDC, phone, wallet, and a waterproof slot for wet clothes or a wet umbrella… but above all, it comes with a proprietary Magic Dock.

Fiets and Fiets’s magic dock is a strong and secure docking port that allows you to strap anything to your backpack. A helmet, a shoe-bag, a travel pillow, Bluetooth speaker, and more. The magic dock comes with three modules that snap onto the bag, giving it a host of extra features, and turn allowing it to be just the kind of bag you want it to be.

The Magic Dock works like a USB port does for a laptop. It amplifies the bag’s productivity and its ability to fit in diverse situations. Just like a USB can be used for storage, for peripherals and controls, for data transfer, etc, the Magic Dock can be used to fasten a variety of things to the backpack using Fiets and Fiets’s accessories. An anti-dust bag let’s you carry shoes or dirty clothes, and a universal holder lets you secure helmets or even a Bluetooth speaker to the back of your bag. A third module works as an emergency tail light, working wonderfully for commuters and bikers by making you visible in low-light conditions.

The Magic Dock is that feature that helps Fiets and Fiets’s backpack to stand out. With the three modules (and many more in the pipeline), the dock lets you use the bag effectively in a variety of situations. For work and play, for travel and for quite literally the act of traveling… And with its lightweight, weatherproof and waterproof build, not even the gods can stop you from embarking on your adventure!

Weatherproof

The Fiets & Fiets backpack is made from PU materials. It is waterproof, stain-proof, lightweight, and offers optimal heat dissipation. Take the Fiets & Fiets backpack to the hot Sahara Desert, snowy Icelandic glaciers, or wild Amazon rain-forests, its premium material can withstand any weather.

Wet Items’ Pocket

A dedicated water retentive compartment to keep your wet raincoat or umbrella from the rest of your dry items. The holes at the bottom enable fast drying to wick away any unwanted moisture in your bag.

On-bike System

To free yourself from being weighed down by an overstuffed backpack, simply attach your backpack to the front or the rear rack for a comfortable and unrestrictive ride.

Magnetic Opening

Instead of the traditional zipper, the magnetic enclosure offers quick and easy access to your items while you’re on-the-go. The magnetic seal with Fidlock securely fastens the flap onto the backpack safeguarding your items in seconds.

This Bag has Three-factor Security!

Posted on by

The guys at XD Design have a reputation of building some of the most criminal-confusing bags. Their bags are designed to cater to the user’s style statement and safety equally. These bags are not only beautiful to look at, they’re bafflingly difficult to get into, without the consent of the owner. The original Bobby backpack’s design sought to make the bag impenetrable by pushing the zipper closer to the wearer, making it difficult to access if someone was wearing the bag. The revised version, titled the Bobby Urban, puts the zipper in an even more confounding position, and secures the bag’s contents in a cut-proof fabric.

Committed to their motto of making the world’s most theft-resistant bags, the Bobby Urban comes with a concealed zipper, further made safer by a steel reinforced combination lock. The bag comes with a roll-top design that not only hides the zipper, it also allows you to control the bag’s inner capacity by determining how much you roll the top. Once the zipper is secure, snap shut the combination lock for added protection. Aside from providing a second layer of security, the combination lock can even be used to fasten the bag to an immovable object like a bench or a lamppost as you would with a bicycle. With the zip inaccessible, the lock unbreakable, and the fabric un-rippable, the only conceivable way to break into the bag would be with the aid of heavy machinery.

The Bobby Urban’s roll-top design gives it a whopping 27 liters of capacity when unrolled, making it perfect for everything from your everyday commute to long travels, allowing you to increase or decrease the bag’s size depending on need. A compartmentalized interior allows you to segregate items, while any extra/bulky items can be tethered to the outside using the additional netting provided. Looking at the term theft through a much wider lens, not only is the bag physically impenetrable, it even comes with an RFID secure pocket too, deterring digital theft as well.

With its signature combination of style, storage, and security (not necessarily in that order), the Bobby Urban may just literally be the most theft-proof backpack in the consumer market. Every single day, 400,000 incidents of pickpocketing occur worldwide. This backpack remains committed to making sure you’re never a part of that statistic!
