This is my personal experience.<\/p>\n

I got myself an Urbani Boban as soon as it came out. That was more than 3 summers ago. Before that I used the Original Boban, whose purchase led to GeekShop being launched. Today that backpack\u00a0is enjoying retirement<\/a>, but has new successors..<\/p>\n

No da se vratimo na Urbana, u prvom delu teksta \u0107u opisati za\u0161to mi se dopao, a u drugom iskustvo sa letovanja – i za\u0161to \u0107e nastaviti da bude primarni ranac za odlazak na pla\u017eu.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here's what drew me to it when buying:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Veliki kapacitet – dobar za nabavku ili trening.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I chose it mainly because I needed a backpack I could stuff like a hamster with more than I could carry on my back.<\/p>\n

I didn't have a car then and cycled to the supermarket. Being able to fit 3 liters of yogurt, half a kilo of feta, a kilo of bananas and a few rice cakes into one backpack came in very handy.<\/p>\n

I regularly carried 5\u20136 kg on my back, and this backpack stood up to all of it.<\/p>\n

I could also fit in everything I needed for a workout: towel, trainers, shorts, T-shirt, a litre of water and still room for a hoodie.<\/p>\n

And best of all:<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you have less to carry, make the backpack smaller. Roll down the top and fasten it at the lock \u2014 less empty space, same backpack.<\/p>\n

2. Nepreseciv materijal – neuni\u0161tiv u prirodi<\/h3>\n

Bilo interesantno videti da reklamiraju kao neku nepresecivost… Sve sam to uzeo sa rezervom, kao znam ja te marketin\u0161ke fore… dok se nisam svojim o\u010dima uverio. Materijal od kog je ovaj ranac je stvarno neuni\u0161tiv!\u00a0 \u010cak i no\u017eem ako pre\u0111e\u0161 preko njega, ne\u0107e se ni primetiti.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I had to press with a thin craft knife just to make barely visible scratches. If I had gone over the same spot another 30 times with heavy pressure, I probably would have cut it, but it really takes effort!<\/p>\n

Ovaj ranac je maksimalno otporan na ogrebotine i zato mi je broj jedan izbor kada idem negde u prirodu. Voli da se pentra po Fru\u0161koj Gori, da se grebe u stene, granje, \u017ebunje, \u0161ta god… Nikakvo o\u0161te\u0107enje mu ne\u0107e naneti ni najekstremniji uslovi.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A feature whose usefulness I only realised later:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bravica na \u0161ifru – raj na letovanju!<\/h2>\n

\"\"I realised this on my first seaside holiday. On the first day, in the midday heat around 12h, my girlfriend and I settled on a beach with wooden parasols fixed deep in the ground. I packed my wallet and phone in the backpack and headed into the sea for 2h to get my regular dose of 2nd-degree sunburn.<\/p>\n

Nema vi\u0161e – “jesu mi tu jo\u0161 stvari”<\/h3>\n

Imao sam naviku od ranije da paranoi\u010dno na svakih 15 sekundi bacim pogled prema le\u017ealjkama, da vidim da li se neko tamo mota, jel mi tamo jo\u0161 ranac. \u0160to i nije uvek prakti\u010dno: prvo – zato \u0161to imam dioptriju i bez nao\u010dara vidim kao kad pusti\u0161 video preko YouTube-a na 240p, drugo: po\u0161to sam lenj, uvek do\u0111em na pla\u017eu kad ostane mesto tek negde u zadnjim redovima gde ne vidi\u0161 ni svoju \u017eenu, a kamoli svoj ranac…<\/p>\n

Locking it to a sun lounger is enough<\/h3>\n

But with this backpack, that completely disappeared. I realized that\u00a0she's not going anywhere<\/a>\u00a0(I mean the backpack, not my wife). I started locking the backpack just to the sun lounger. Some beaches had thicker parasol poles, so it wasn't possible, but a sun lounger is quite enough too.<\/p>\n

Opportunity makes a thief, and they look for something they can swipe without much effort. They need to go unnoticed, take a phone from a lounger as if it were theirs and act completely normally. None of them wants to struggle and attract even a little attention on a crowded beach.<\/p>\n

After locking it to the sun lounger, I even went on those silly rides where you pay 10-15\u20ac to get dragged across the water and throw up afterward. Every time, I found the backpack right where I'd locked it.<\/p>\n

The peace of mind from locking the backpack is priceless. I can finally enjoy a swim without wondering whether my wallet will still be there afterwards.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Locking isn't only useful at the seaside, but also on the following occasions<\/p>\n
