Have you ever wondered what goes on inside a Healthy Back Bag?
It's not just a bag with a silver lining. behind that iconic teardrop shape Healthy Back Bags contain a wealth of cleverly designed pocketing inside and out.
Most of us are familiar with the external pockets, after all, it's what we see in the images on the website or what we test out when the bags are hanging in a shop. And who doesn't love a perfectly sized spine pocket for a water bottle, or the satisfying click of the magnetic flap pocket as you slip your phone safely out of harms reach?
It's the inside story however which reveals a few surprises.
Taking A Closer Look
Firstly, there's the secure tech pocket. Tucked seamlessly between the main zip and the bag lining, the pocket is easily identified by its red zipper pull. Open it and a full sized, padded pocket is revealed ready to secrete away all manner of gadgets, valuables or travel documents.
Next up is the key hook. This is an all-time favourite of HBB'ers. Never again will you lose your keys which can be detached with a flick of the hand although at a stretch, if you're feeling really lazy, the elastic attachment means you don't even have to remove them at all to open the front door.
Need A New Bag For Work?
A plethora of pen pockets are useful for nail files too, while two additional pockets, one zipped, one open, serve as ideal storage for headphones, make up, tissues, travel cards and even face mask and hand sanitiser in these Corona-times.
The interior angled pockets mean that you can simply slide your hand in and grab contents without having to take the bag off and then there's the D-Ring. Sometimes for clipping a coin purse to, sometimes spare keys or maybe just a lucky charm... because we love a D-Ring.
And There's More...
The big secret though? As if by magic, using all these pockets to keep your stuff organised, safe and secure, the bag becomes better balanced. They are cleverly designed to distribute the weight around the bag making it feel lighter across the back, it doesn't drag on the shoulder and it leaves you free to get on with the more important things in life.
