Db · Hugger Backpack 30L
Hugger 30L: from the office to a short trip, without changing bags.
Db's Hugger 30L is a 30-litre backpack for the office and trips of one to three days. It opens along its full height, like a suitcase: you pack flat and find the charger without unpacking everything. Rigid ribs keep its shape, full or empty. The laptop, up to 16 inches, has its own pocket at the back.

What fits inside
30L
The zip goes all the way round: everything packs flat.
The main compartment opens right to the bottom. Mesh pockets inside the lid hold cables and small items.
- rolled clothes
- a jacket
- cables in the mesh
- headphones, in the top pocket

The structure
Ribs instead of foam.
- Rib Cage. ABS ribs, patented, replace the thick padding on the front panel.
- It holds its shape, even empty. It doesn't slump in on itself, and it protects what's inside.
- Not a hard shell. The ribs take everyday knocks; a hard impact is still a hard impact.
Laptop
The 16-inch laptop gets its own back pocket.
The laptop pocket is padded and opens separately: at security, you take the laptop out without opening the main compartment.
Up to a 16-inch MacBook Pro
Pockets sized around the MacBook Pro.

In the rain
Light rain, yes. A whole day of downpours, no.
Light rain
Coated fabric
The fabric sheds water; seams and zips let it through over time.
Shower
Coated zips
Both fabric and zips shed water. The seams, though, aren't taped.
Proper rain
Taped seams
Fabric that keeps water out, seams taped over. The zips remain the weak point.
For a whole day in the rain, use a rain cover: water eventually gets through the seams and zips.
Colours
Four colours, each with its own fabric.

In the cabin
In the overhead locker, not under the seat.
Db places it in the locker above the seats. Not under the seat: it stands over 45 cm tall.
Under the seat
Personal item, free on most flights.
Overhead locker
The cabin bag, above the seats.
In the hold
Too big for the cabin.
Dimensions 52 × 31 × 22.5 cmSize limit met depending on the airline
Each airline sets its own dimensions: check yours, especially on a low-cost flight.
Size limits: Eiken's calculation from the bag's dimensions. Each airline sets its own rules.
Eiken's take
- Why we chose it
- Because it replaces two bags: the office one, with its 16-inch laptop stowed separately, and the short-trip one. On Friday evening, nothing left to repack.
- Worth knowing
- 1.23 kg empty, the heaviest of the three Huggers: 200 g more than the 20L, for 10 more litres and a 16-inch laptop.
- Who it's for
- Anyone who travels with cabin baggage only, and carries more than the essentials during the week.
