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.

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!While our testers liked the vegan and recycled construction, they also reported that the handles were uncomfortable. My main bit of advice is to be aware that this bag is not designed to hold clothes for a weekend trip.

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. 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. 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? 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.

Cabin Max Manhattan Hybrid 30L

After visiting 100 countries by the end of 2019 I felt inspired to visit every country in the world. However,along the way I found out it is not my thing to turn traveling into a challenge. I travel because it is my passion, I travel to learn, to become a better person and to feel alive and live in the moment. For me life is about chasing happiness, not goals! My passion to inspire and help other travelers to travel the world turned into a lifestyle. When I started this travel blog I never though it would give me the freedom to travel the world, whenever and wherever. So what started as a passion ended up in a dream coming true... 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.

I do think this is a great bag for business travelers who like to do some sightseeing while on a short business trip. With this bag, they have a compact option that will keep their electronics safe while commuting to work. Organization: 4 of 5 — This bag strikes a nice balance of having usable internal organization without overwhelming me. 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! IF YOU'RE planning for an upcoming trip, there’s a chance you’re wanting to invest in some new luggage.

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. Because I just took the jump and bought an anti theft bag myself just a few months ago … and wow, has it changed my travel life or what?! 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 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.

Is it a hassle? Yes, I admit it is. But being in pouring rain is already a hassle, so stopping to pull out a rain cover is well worth keeping the bag nice and dry (and it did, thankfully). Less Useful Features It securely protects your important documents and technology while travelling, be it walking around a city or up in the air on a flightSherri Gardner, an Associate Editor at TripSavvy, helped with testing in our Brooklyn testing lab.
