Custom Backpacks: Anti-Theft, Laptop, Bike and Gym
A backpack gets judged the first time it's actually used, not when it's handed over. Our backpack range covers that test properly, running from security focused anti-theft designs through to laptop backpacks, a genuine bike backpack, gym bags, and a hiking pack built for a full day on the trail.
Whether you're sourcing a corporate backpack for onboarding, a branded backpack for client gifting, or a bulk order across a full team, there's a genuinely fit for purpose option in this range
The Bobby Anti-Theft Range
The Bobby line is the standout feature of this collection, giving you a Bobby anti theft backpack option at nearly every price point and use case. The Bobby Soft offers a lighter, more casual anti-theft design, while the Bobby Explore steps up with more capacity for travel. The Bobby Edge and XD Design Bobby Air both bring the same security focused construction into a sleeker, more modern silhouette.
For anyone needing a combined work solution, the Bobby Bizz 2.0 anti-theft backpack & briefcase and the Bizz Backpack both fold briefcase style carrying into an anti-theft design, giving a genuine backpack and briefcase combo rather than needing to choose between the two formats. Comparing a backpack vs briefcase for commuting, a backpack distributes weight more evenly across both shoulders for a longer walk or cycle, while a briefcase style carry suits shorter distances or a smarter, client facing look. The Bizz range solves this by offering both carry styles built into one bag.
How Anti-Theft Backpacks Work
An anti-theft backpack typically combines a few specific security features: slash-resistant fabric or panelling that resists being cut into from outside, concealed or back-panel zip placement that's harder to access without the wearer noticing, and often RFID blocking pockets to prevent contactless card skimming. The Bobby range and the Urban Water Resistant Anti-theft Backpack both apply this thinking, making them a stronger choice than a standard backpack for travel, commuting through busy areas, or carrying valuable equipment
Laptop Backpacks and Sleeves
For everyday commuting and office use, this range offers laptop protection across several sizes. The Renew AWARE rPET 15 inch laptop backpack and the Denver laptop backpack PVC free both offer dedicated padded compartments for that size device, while the Fashion black 15.6" laptop backpack PVC free and Modern 15.6" USB & RFID laptop backpack PVC free step up slightly in size with additional features layered in
If a full backpack is more than you need, the Renew AWARE rPET 16 inch laptop sleeve offers device protection alone, ideal for anyone who already has a preferred bag and just needs a dedicated laptop compartment. Comparing a laptop sleeve vs laptop backpack, a sleeve suits anyone who mostly carries a laptop alone or already owns a bag, while a full backpack makes more sense if you're regularly carrying additional items like chargers, documents, or a change of clothes
RFID and USB Features
The Modern 15.6" USB & RFID laptop backpack PVC free is the one product in this range offering genuine RFID laptop backpack protection, using a shielded pocket to block contactless skimming of cards or passports stored inside. This is a specific feature of that product rather than a range wide standard, so it's worth highlighting separately for anyone specifically shopping for that protection
The Power USB laptop backpack takes a different approach, building in a USB charging port on the exterior that connects to a power bank stored inside the bag, letting the wearer charge a phone on the move without digging through the bag to reach the battery pack itself.
Bike and Water Resistant Backpacks
The Urban Water Resistant Bike Backpack is purpose built as a genuine bike backpack, with a design intended to sit securely and comfortably during cycling rather than shifting or bouncing. For anyone asking what makes a best backpack for cycling to work, the key features to look for are a stable, close fitting profile, water resistance for unpredictable weather, and reflective detailing for visibility, all of which this option is built around
The Urban Water Resistant Flap-top Backpack brings the same water resistant construction into a flap top format, prioritising a slightly more classic silhouette over the sportier bike specific design.
Gym Bags and Daypacks
The Flex Gym bag is built specifically for gym or sport use, and while not every gym bag on the market includes one, a gym bag with shoe compartment is a genuinely useful feature to look for, since it keeps sweaty or dirty trainers separated from clean kit and personal items. For a lighter, more casual daily carry option, the Brandably Design Soft Daypack offers a simpler, less structured alternative to the more technical bags in this range
Tote Backpacks and Sling Bags
The Brandably Design Soft Tote Backpack gives a hybrid option, combining the open, easy access style of a tote backpack with proper backpack straps for hands free carrying, making it a flexible choice for anyone who wants tote style accessibility without giving up the comfort of backpack straps.
For anyone after something more compact, the Renew AWARE rPET Sling Bag offers a single strap, lighter weight alternative to a full backpack. Comparing sling bag vs backpack, a sling bag suits short trips or minimal carrying needs where quick on-and-off access matters, while a full backpack makes more sense for anything requiring two shoulder support or a laptop compartment. As a recycled sling bag, it also carries a genuine sustainability credential through its AWARE tracked rPET construction
Hiking and Outdoor Backpacks
The Explorer ripstop medium hiking backpack 26L PVC free is built for a genuine day on the trail rather than everyday commuting. Ripstop fabric uses a reinforced weave that resists tearing from snagging or abrasion, making it a more durable choice for outdoor use than a standard backpack fabric. A 26L hiking backpack like this one generally holds enough for a full day out, including water, spare layers, and basic supplies, without tipping into overnight pack territory
PVC Free and Sustainable Materials
Several backpacks in this range, including the Denver, Modern 15.6", Fashion black 15.6", and Explorer ripstop options, are built as PVC free laptop backpacks or PVC free outdoor packs. Removing PVC from a bag's construction reduces reliance on a material that's harder to recycle and more environmentally persistent, making these a genuinely more sustainable choice without sacrificing durability.
Branding Your Backpack
Backpacks offer one of the largest branding surfaces in any bag range, typically across the front panel or a dedicated branding patch. Keep artwork bold and simple on technical fabrics like ripstop or water resistant nylon, and consider debossing for a subtler mark on softer daypack style bags
If you're building a wider bag collection rather than a single backpack, explore our full bags range for complementary items like cooler bags for outdoor teams.

The Bobby range uses slash-resistant fabric, concealed or back-panel zip placement that's harder to access unnoticed, and RFID blocking pockets in some models, combining these features to make the bag genuinely harder to open or access without the wearer noticing.
RFID blocking uses a shielded pocket lining that prevents contactless scanners from reading cards or passports stored inside, protecting against unauthorised skimming of payment or ID information in busy public areas.
A backpack distributes weight evenly across both shoulders, making it more comfortable for longer walks or cycling, while a briefcase style carry suits shorter distances or a smarter, client facing appearance. The Bizz range combines both carrying styles in one bag.
A 26 litre capacity generally holds enough for a full day hike, including water, spare layers, snacks, and basic supplies, without the bulk of an overnight or multi-day pack.
Yes. Removing PVC reduces reliance on a material that is harder to recycle and takes longer to break down, making PVC free construction a genuinely more sustainable choice without compromising on durability.
