XD Design has a bit of a reputation for designing criminal-confusing bags, but its latest Bobby Urban is sure to keep thieves at bay with its [three-factor security](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coalax-lancer300). Building on the original Bobby backpack design, this new bag further hides the zipper in a more confounding position and secures the contents of the bag with a cut-proof fabric. Not only is the zipper secured by a hidden location, but XD Design has gone on to accompany the only point of entry with a steel reinforced combination lock.

The roll top design of the Bobby Urban gives the backpack a massive 27 liters of capacity when unrolled, making it an ideal pack for [everyday commutes and long excursions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/traverse-backpack). The interior features several compartments for items of varying sizes, while larger items can be easily strapped to the exterior of the bag using the additional netting provided. The Bobby Urban also offers an [RFID secure pocket](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slnt-incognito-faraday-backpack) to ensure an added level of digital security to compliment the physical ones offered.
