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." 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?!

I do think this is a great bag for business travelers who like to do some sightseeing while on a short business trip.I must admit, I do miss the external side pouch to carry a water bottle or umbrella. I always take re-usable water bottles with me, and an external side pouch is just the perfect place to keep them while traveling. 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

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! 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.

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...

Cut resistant 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.

Organization: 4 of 5 — This bag strikes a nice balance of having usable internal organization without overwhelming me. I also wanted something that I could walk around European cities wearing, with my valuables again safely stored away from any prying hands! 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 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! My main bit of advice is to be aware that this bag is not designed to hold clothes for a weekend trip.Aesthetics: 3 of 5 — When the bag first came out I thought it looked really sleek and clean. It still does, but I think the heathered look is becoming a little dated, and I prefer bags that are less water-droplet shaped. While our testers liked the vegan and recycled construction, they also reported that the handles were uncomfortable. 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.
