An upgraded version of the world's best-selling backpack
The 2019 Hero comes with several improvements over the original Boban launched in 2016.
A new version with several improvements
Just as Simba succeeded Mufasa, so the original Boban backpack from 2016 got a worthy successor after 3 years.
The Hero model comes with several improvements over the classic Boban:
- Additional outer pockets
- Additional dividers
- Internal divider curtain
- New colors
- Cut-resistant layer beneath the entire surface
- A slightly more modern shape.
Why does the backpack have a name?
The answer is simple: Boban is the sort of everyday companion you get attached to. Once you have seen what it can do, calling your backpack by name suddenly makes a lot more sense. A place for your essentials, and one less thing to think about before heading out.
Features
Organization
A place for everything you carry
This little portable storage space holds items of different shapes and sizes, from small pieces of jewelry to bulkier everyday essentials.
Privacy curtain
We live in a civilization and grew up in a culture where common sense won't let a tablet cuddle with underwear in a closed backpack.
The designers of this backpack came up with a curtain that puts a stop to the romance between underwear and 21st-century technology.
Which you can remove when you don't need it
If you need to, use the zip to separate the backpack sections. If not, just unzip it and roll it into the hidden pocket at the bottom of the backpack.
Security
Hidden pockets
4 discreet pockets keep essentials close. Click the little plus below to see where they are.
Hidden pocket locations
Lockable
We do not understand why they made that if they do not sell an extra lock for it, but it is what it is. At least you can buy a small lock for a few hundred dinars. *Lock sold separately.
Cut-resistant material
A cut-resistant PVC layer beneath the outer fabric helps protect your belongings. It's a backpack with more going on under the surface than you might expect.
And that is not all!
Waterproof material
Boban can handle the rain. Just don't submerge it — we haven't taught it to swim.
Is the backpack waterproof or water-repellent?
This backpack is water-repellent. That means rain is fine, but you must not throw it into water. For more information, google water-repellent.
USB charging
A standard USB port lets you charge your phone without taking the power bank out of the backpack. Charge without pulling it out.
How does the USB work?
You need a Power Bank, i.e. an external battery. Connect it to the cable inside the backpack and put it in any compartment you like. If your phone is running low, just connect your phone's USB cable, which you normally keep in an outer pocket, to the port on the outside of the backpack and it will start charging automatically. You don't take the Power Bank out at all. So you charge without pulling it out.
Rain cover
If you do not want a wet Boban leaving a mini flood on your desk after the rain, you can buy a rain cover too. When you get to the office, take off the wet cover and leave it on the radiator to dry. Your dry Boban can go straight on the desk.
You can view/order the rain cover here.
You can slip it onto a suitcase
Put your power bank (external battery) in the compartment and charge your phone whenever you like, without opening the backpack and taking it out. So you charge without pulling it out.
With a box like this, you do not need a gift bag
The Hero Regular backpack comes in the same box shown in this GIF. The box can be converted to have a handle, so you don't need a bag. when giving it as a gift. Eh? What an invention, what a time to be alive! We only figured it out recently too, and we have been shipping Bobans for 8 years. Ignore the monitor background; Živan forgot to hide his fantasies.

Got a Boban 2.0 (Hero). Waited until the last day of the sale, Cyber Monday, to buy it; the Geekshop team even let me pay in 2 instalments without cheques.
Very satisfied. Quality and practicality for us freelancers.

Nothing but praise for Oskar and Geekshop - the best investment ever!!!
EDIT: Almost a year later, I got a new addition, Bobica, and I couldn't be happier. Oskar has once again shown what an absolute legend he is!!!

I can hardly imagine my freelance life without my wild zebra-print Boban. ???? I cannot decide whether it is prettier or more practical! And Živan kept my Black Friday discount when they restocked — legend. My husband got a Hero for his birthday: it is so big I feel I could fit comfortably inside along with the 17inch laptop. ???? Have not tried yet. If I manage it, a special review is coming ????

Excellent backpack and excellent service from Oskar! He's happy to explain anything! I bought and paid for the backpack online, and everything arrived the next day exactly as agreed. When I pack my essentials in it—water, an umbrella, a few bits and pieces, a diary, cards and other small items—it almost feels like I'm carrying nothing on my back; without exaggerating, it's as if you'd put in 200 grams. With a laptop, it feels like just another kilo has been added, even though the laptop itself weighs 2.20.
The backpack holds a lot and has compartments for all sorts of things. Besides a laptop and charger, you can comfortably fit headphones, a mouse, something to eat and a laptop cooling pad. Once it is packed, you still feel the weight, but far less than with ordinary backpacks found in shops. It is miles ahead of sports backpacks too, so it is ideal for students — for everyone, really! Highly recommended, and the price is very fair for what this backpack offers!
