Bob Black - waxed cotton

Bob waxed – the all-rounder

backpack & bicycle bag

We at Spleen Berlin have put a lot of thought into urban mobility. The hybrid model "Bob" developed by us is our all-rounder for urban commuting. 

Thanks to the practical roll-top closure with zipper and additional clip closure, the spacious backpack is flexible and adjustable in size. Fully unrolled, it has a volume of 30 liters. Inside there is a laptop pocket that is padded towards the back and a carabiner to which the enclosed small zip pocket can be attached – this way, your mobile phone or wallet can be found quickly. On the outside, Bob convinces with a handle for carrying and an additional roll-top bag on the front, a side zipper offers access to another extra compartment. In this way, objects can be safely stowed away and removed quickly and easily while on the move.

More and more people are turning to bicycles in the city as an environmentally friendly alternative to driving by car. But often the transport option falls by the wayside. This is where we at Spleen Berlin come in with our 2-in-1 bag solutions, which are produced sustainably and in Europe. 

Watch out! Our sporty model fixie is now also available in a new version, in which we once again pay particular attention to sustainability and recycled, environmentally friendly materials.

The outer fabric is made of waxed organic cotton (composition: 80% organic cotton, 20% recycled cotton), which we source from the bluesign® system. This supplier stands with its name for the most resource- and environmentally friendly production of textiles. The material feels pleasantly non-slip and is highly water-repellent due to the special pre-treatment - so the things transported in the hybrid bike bag are also adequately protected with this natural material.

The special lining also provides additional protection. It is woven using the ripstop technique, which ensures that this synthetic fiber fabric is particularly tear-resistant and at the same time ultra-light. Due to their extraordinary properties, fabrics of this type are also traditionally used in hot-air balloons, parachutes or tents, for example – and also in rucksacks and bicycle bags. However, the outstanding feature of the rib fabric lining used by Spleen Berlin is that it is made from 100% SEAQUAL® YARN.

All-in-one: pannier bag and backpack in one

As with all practical hybrid models from Spleen Berlin, Bob can also be converted from a backpack to a bicycle bag securely attached to the bicycle's luggage rack in just a few simple steps. You can cycle flexibly and unencumbered through the city with the bike backpack as a spacious luggage bag - after parking the bike, Bob simply walks on your back as a comfortable, well-fitting backpack, so that you still have your hands free. Particularly practical for excursions and tours when the bike needs to stand still during a hike.

Already knew? Our practical backpack with bike mount from Spleen Berlin fits all bicycles and e-bikes with standard luggage racks, or all devices for bike bags with a diameter of 8-16 mm.
