The Modern Hybrid Worker's Dilemma: Elegance vs. Capacity

Working from a café, heading to the office for a key meeting, an afternoon “call” from home and a stop at the gym in between. The lifestyle we now call Hybrid Work places entirely new demands on our gear. For a long time, the backpack market was polarised:

• Either you bought a sleek, flat “tech” backpack, which safely fits a MacBook, but heaven help you once you want to add a lunch box or a hoodie.
• Or you reached for a large sports rucksack, which fits everything, but at a business meeting you look as if you'd mixed up the meeting room with a trek up Sněžka mountain.

At Zdravybatoh.cz we believe functionality shouldn't come at the expense of style. That's why we're thrilled about a Norwegian innovation that solves this problem once and for all.

The FLX system: 5 extra litres of freedom

The magic of the Street FLX range lies in a subtle but brilliant detail. Norwegian manufacturer BECKMANN, which prides itself on more than 80 years of tradition, has built an expansion zip into the backpack. In its standard mode the backpack is compact and flat, keeping a minimalist silhouette that goes perfectly with a blazer or a coat.

But as soon as you need space – whether for gym clothes, shopping on the way home or bulkier documents – just open the side zip. The backpack's volume instantly grows by 5 litres.

That's not just “a bit of extra room”. It's the difference between carrying a canvas bag with your trainers in your hand and having everything comfortably on your back with your hands free for a coffee or your phone.

Norwegian ergonomics in a suit

We often hear that ergonomics matters mainly for children. That's a myth. An adult who spends hours at a computer and then carries several kilograms of tech on their back needs good support just as much as a schoolchild.

Backpacks from the City and Street FLX ranges are more than stylish accessories. Inside you'll find:

• An aluminium ergonomic bar, which holds the shape and supports the spine.
• A sophisticated back system that provides ventilation (goodbye to a sweaty back under your shirt).
• Padded shoulder straps and an adjustable chest strap that spreads the weight and takes the strain off your trapezius muscles.

Everything is designed so that the backpack sits firmly on your back and doesn't weigh you down, even when you're running for the tram.

Organisation that makes sense

Inside the backpack you won't find a “black hole” where everything gets lost. Norwegian design thinks pragmatically. You get a separate, softly padded laptop pocket (up to 16"), space for a tablet, a cable organiser and, of course, a bottle pocket that doesn't spoil the backpack's exterior design.

And because sustainability is key for us, you'll be pleased to know that these backpacks are made from recycled materials (rPET). Up to 20 plastic bottles were used to make one backpack. Wearing BECKMANN means looking after not only your back, but also the planet.

Ready for every challenge of the day?

Whether you're facing an important presentation, an intense workout or a weekend city break, a backpack with the FLX system adapts to you. Stop worrying about what to pack your things in. Focus on what matters to you.
