We have paused imports of this model until further notice.

Innovation in materials
The makers didn't cut corners on this backpack. They chose a high-performance material that had only recently become available for commercial use.
Making a backpack like this is no simple job. Lasers cut the material, rather like in Star Wars films, which is why the price is what it is.
So you don't think we're overcharging, the price is the same as on the manufacturer's website. We can afford that only because our business costs are low. One person cleans the office, ships backpacks, answers emails and builds this website. And yes, that same person has used the Urban backpack since it came out! Feel free to ask him anything.
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
Adjustable volume
Depending on how much you're carrying, you can choose from several modes:
- In the first photo, the guy has rolled Boban's top all the way down. Closed like that, Boban has a maximum capacity of 22 litres.
- In the last photo, Urbani Boban is not rolled down at all, giving it its maximum capacity of up to 27 liters.
- The two pictures in between show the other options—roll the top to suit what you're carrying.
Rolling all the way down
Rolled down about halfway

A fully cut-resistant backpack!
The cut-resistant construction is designed to protect the valuables you carry. The material is built to be exceptionally tough—even getting through it with proper equipment is a serious task.
Boban cannot even be damaged, let alone cut.

The toughest material there is
A combination of three materials: UHMWPE (Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fabric) + E-fiberglass + Industrial high strength polyester. Built for busy days, full bags and a little less worrying about the material.
Combination lock
Whether you're at the seaside or the spa in Mórahalom, you can pack your phone and wallet into this backpack and lock it to a lounger, railing or something sturdy. Then swim as long as you like, even move between pools, without having to check every few minutes if someone is hovering around your things.
The lock is made from ultra-strong PVC and secured with steel wires, so you can't cut around it without industrial equipment. Once you lock Boban to something solid, HE'S GOING NOWHERE!
A pickpocket's nightmare
The combination lock gives a pickpocket a long list of guesses. Trying every combination would take at least an hour or so.
Reinforcement at every single step

Steel bar inside the backpack
A steel bar is inserted in the part of the backpack marked in red. It is also reinforced with steel cables. A backpack made for a zombie apocalypse.
Other features
Waterproof backpack backpack
Boban doesn't mind the rain. Just don't throw it into water—we still haven't taught it to swim.
How does the USB work?
The outer material is waterproof (i.e. rain-resistant), the bottom is fully waterproof, and there is also a protective cut-proof layer.
You can slide it onto a suitcase
If you are rushing for a flight or bus, you will run much faster with Boban attached to your suitcase. Your legs carry less weight, and Boban won't fall off because the suitcase handle is threaded through its strap.
Night-time visibility
If you cycle or walk along a road at night, you will be safe and easily visible to vehicles behind you from up to 100m. The white reflective line helps you stand out after dark.
Organization
Interior pockets
Inside are just four compartments: laptop, tablet and two pockets for small items. We all take different things when we travel, and beyond those compartments there is plenty of space for whatever you like. This backpack is like a sack — but an indestructible one.
RFID-protected card pocket
Anti Scan RFID protects contactless cards from scanning. There are devices that can read your card from around 30 cm away and steal data (PIN and identification). This is called electronic pickpocketing.
This pocket blocks the signal and protects the card from being read.
Large rear pocket
Here you can stuff your wallet and phone, and there's also a cord to attach your keys to.
External pocket
Pocket dimensions: 18 x 15 cm.
Just right for a water bottle or shaker up to 8 cm in diameter.
Free net
You can attach a helmet, a ball or even a rolled-up beach mat to the net! Personally tested by the owner of GeekShop!
