backwards backpack,

award-winning R10 and R15
models. Designed for the
city commuter, frequent
international traveller, urban
native and digital nomad who
need to keep their high value
gadgets safe from thieves,
the R10 and R15s upgraded
features deliver added techprotection while making

comfortable and secure.
New features
Still retaining Riuts famous
core design a backwards
backpack with no outer
zips; the only zips are the
ones against your back the
major new features include
the addition of a D-pocket
for smartphone storage, a
wider top pocket, a trolley
suitcase strap, redesigned
and Lycra-made laptop
and tablet compartments,
colour reflective bands and
detachable chest straps.
Along with the classic black
finish, a new stylish navy
blue model has also been
introduced. Taking RiutBag
users feedback onboard,
these enhancements mean
the new 10 litre R10 and 15
litre R15 are the safest, most
user-friendly and sophisticated
RiutBags yet.
Wider top pocket
Constructed from waterproof
Cordura, one of the strongest,
durable and anti-abrasion
woven nylons available,
the main body is also foamlined throughout, providing
added protection for valuable
tech. Furthermore a water
and abrasive proof base
made from Thermoplastic
polyurethane means users can
rest the RiutBag on any surface
- be it rock, mud, snow, wet,
hot, cold knowing the bags
contents wont be damaged.
A very specialist protective
plastic, the durable material
can withstand extremely high
and low temperatures and will
not wear through for at least a
decade.
RiutBag D pocket
Found at the base of the bag, a
D-shaped pocket is designed to
hold your smartphone, train tickets,
keys and passports. Accessible
without removing your RiutBag,
these important items can stowed
and taken out without missing
a step. Whether on a bike, in a
queue or riding an escalator, the
D-pocket allows a new way of
travelling securely in busy urban
spaces.
Working in tandem with the
D-pocket, the new improved
top pocket is now more
accommodating and the perfect
place to securely store items you
don’t need to use frequently
during the day.
Inside compartments
Inside the bag, the new look
laptop and tablet compartment is
made from robust Lycra allowing
storage of devices without
protective covers. There are also
two zipped Lycra pockets for the
secure stowaway of smaller tech
devices.
Trolley suitcase strap
A boon for the international traveller,
an in-built strap now allows simple
attachment to the trolley handle of
any suitcase. Keeping all your luggage
together and secure when moving
through an airport, passports and
important documents are still accessible
through the D-pocket while all possible
vulnerable access points for opportunist
thieves are covered by the handle.
RiutBands
Every RiutBag R10 and R15 comes
with four brightly coloured attachable
RiutBands. Finished in red, blue, green
and pink on one side and an all
reflective surface on the reverse, these
bands allow users to personalise their
RiutBag, making it easily identifiable
when on the go or at the airport, while
also helping cyclists and pedestrians to
be seen at night.
Removable chest straps
All RiutBags have chest straps allowing
users to fit to their body shape and
distribute the carrying weight closer to
their centre of gravity. The chest straps
are now removable for those who don’t
use them but can be easily reattached
if required.
Sarah Giblin, the RiutBag creator says, With todays city commuter,
international jet-setter and urban traveller carrying an arsenal of valuable
tech our recent survey showed 63% of commuters carry belongings worth
up to £1000 and more*, its paramount to keep them safe from thieves and
protect them from the vagaries of everyday life.
Sarah continues, RiutBags backward backpack design always offers
peace of mind when travelling but these new R10 and R15 models now
have features that adapt to the needs of a busy life on the move. The new
improved R10 and R15 are truly the modern day backpack for the digital
nomad and globe-trotter.
Every RiutBag is designed and built based on user feedback and survey
answers from urban travellers and Sarah Giblin prototypes new designs
based on this user thinking. Her mantra is: Revolution in user thinking (Riut)
and the new RiutBag R10 and R15 was developed from this way of working
and the feedback received.
