The bag is designed using ABS shell that absorbs impact should the driver be hit. The dual-function design provides both storage space as well as added safety. While motorcycles can be a great way to explore the open road, they leave the rider extremely vulnerable to injury should a collision occur. This is why the Boblbee Backpack is a smart bag that provides added safety and protection to the exposed body. The bag is tall and lined with an ABS hardshell that is then coated in a foam panel that is soft against the body. The inside offers room to house a laptop, extra clothing and pockets for smartphones. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Motorcycle Safety Gear:** The trend of creating protective gear designed specifically for motorbike riders provides an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the safety industry. - **Dual-function Design:** The trend of combining multiple functionalities into a single product, such as storage and safety, opens up opportunities for disruptive innovation in the backpack industry. - **Impact-absorbing Materials:** The trend of using impact-absorbing materials like ABS shells and foam coatings presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the materials industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Motorcycle Accessories:** The motorcycle accessories industry can seize upon the trend of creating protective gear designed specifically for motorbike riders to offer innovative products that enhance rider safety. - **Travel and Outdoor Gear:** The travel and outdoor gear industry can tap into the trend of dual-function designs to develop innovative backpacks that provide both storage space and added safety features. - **Materials Manufacturing:** The materials manufacturing industry can capitalize on the trend of impact-absorbing materials by developing new materials that offer superior protection and comfort. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Airbag-Deploying Travel Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stan-airbag.md) - [Luxe Metal Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/original-aluminum-backpack.md) - [Tire-Carrying Backpack Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bike-backpack.md) - [Pocket-Packed Antitheft Travel Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/korin-hubpack-33.md) - [Protective Photography Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/db-ramverk-pro-backpack.md) - [Origami-Style Cyclist Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raba-helmet.md) - [Minimalist Commuter Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-commuter-backpack.md) - [Helmet-Secured Bike Prototypes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/on-board-helmet.md) - [Airbag Cyclist Safety Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aerobag-system.md)
