Healthy Back Bags

Tuesday, 8 October 2013

The problem with blogging is that I have to go everywhere with notebook, camera, phone and assorted other items (including, soon, I hope, an iPad Mini). I used to hang a bag over one shoulder, but found this caused shoulder problems, so, at the recommendation of a Grey Fox reader, I've been trying a bag from Healthy Back Bags. 

This is designed to distribute weight asymmetrically, being a unique tear-drop shape, specifically designed to contour to the spine and so reduce the stress on neck and shoulders. They come in many different colours and fabrics. Naturally, I chose one in Donegal tweed. This has turned out to be hard-wearing, stylish, packed with pockets that help organise the contents and spread weight around the bag sensibly. It can be worn four ways; on either shoulder or across the body.

I've found it very comfortable and have had no more shoulder problems while using it. Have a look at the whole HBB range, which is available to buy online at www.thehealthybackbag.co.uk

The tweed for the bag came from Studio Donegal.


HBB provided Grey Fox with the bag used in this review.

    I wish I could afford a tweed one - I have serious bag envy! I too have had no back/neck/shoulder problems since getting one.
