Featuring a cut-proof exterior with hidden zippers and secret compartments, the XD Design 'Bobby' backpack is not only [anti-theft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slnt-incognito-faraday-backpack), but also inherently efficient. An integrated USB port helps offer charging capabilities, while the whole bag features a weight balancing design to help make heavy loads more even.

Illuminated straps and a luggage strap help round off the XD Design 'Bobby' laptop backpack as one of the more efficient designs to use everyday or as your [carryon bag](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/72hour-backpack).
