Best Travel Backpack
The original HOBO40 is the predecessor to the HOBO40 V2.0 — CarryPro's first 40L travel backpack, still available in Grey-Black colourway at Rs 3,699. It uses the same 40L capacity, water-resistant polyester, and 180-degree front-panel opening as the V2.0, but with the legacy back panel (foam-only, no aluminium frame) and the original hip belt design. Fits a 15.6-inch laptop, includes a rain cover and waist pouch, and ships with the same 2-year manufacturer warranty. The right buy if you want the proven HOBO40 formula at a lower price than the upgraded V2.0.
Why the Original HOBO40 Is Still Worth Considering
Same Proven 40L Frame, Lower Price
The HOBO40 (Grey-Black) is the same bag that built CarryPro's reputation — the formula tested across thousands of trips before the V2.0 added the aluminium frame upgrade. The original frame works fine for loads up to 7-8 kg, which covers most travel use cases. The Rs 800 saving versus the V2.0 (Rs 3,699 vs Rs 4,499) is real money for buyers whose loads typically stay under 8 kg.
180-Degree Front-Panel Opening, Unchanged
Like the V2.0, the original HOBO40 unzips fully along the front panel and lays flat like a suitcase. You see every item at a glance, grab what you need without digging, and refold quickly. Compression straps cinch loose loads tight. Packing cubes from the Pro Packing Cubes range work especially well in this layout.
Rain Cover and Waist Pouch Included
The original HOBO40 ships with a fitted rain cover and a small waist pouch. The rain cover wraps the bag in a waterproof shell during sustained heavy rain. The waist pouch attaches at the front and holds quick-access items (phone, wallet, transit cards) without unclipping the main bag from your shoulders.
Who the Original HOBO40 Is Built For
The Budget-Conscious Traveller
For travellers who want a 40L proven travel backpack but don't need the V2.0's aluminium frame upgrade, the original HOBO40 saves Rs 800 while delivering the same 40L capacity, same 180-degree opening, same rain cover, and same warranty. For loads of 6-8 kg (a normal travel load without overpacking), the foam-only back panel performs adequately. The savings buy you a packing cube set or a rain cover for another bag.
The Occasional Traveller
If you take 3 to 4 longer trips a year rather than weekly travel, you don't necessarily need the V2.0's premium frame. The original HOBO40 handles the occasional traveller's pattern well — used a few times a year, stored otherwise, no daily wear-and-tear on the frame. The lower price matches the lower utilisation.
The Grey-Black Colourway Lover
The Grey-Black colourway is specific to the original HOBO40. The V2.0 ships in different colour options. If the specific Grey-Black tone is what you want for aesthetic reasons, the original HOBO40 is the only way to get it.
Original HOBO40 vs the Alternatives
HOBO40 Original vs HOBO40 V2.0
The V2.0 adds an aluminium back frame for load rigidity under 9+ kg, upgrades to a wider padded hip belt, adds a rear-access laptop compartment, and refines pocket layout. The original HOBO40 has the foam-only back panel and the legacy hip belt. For loads above 8 kg or for users who carry the bag frequently, the V2.0 is worth the extra Rs 800. For lighter loads or occasional use, the original is the value pick.
HOBO40 Original vs Overnighter 30L
Different sizes for different trip lengths. The HOBO40 at 40L is sized for 5 to 7 day trips. The Overnighter at 30L is sized for 2 to 3 day weekend trips. If your typical trip is a weekend, the Overnighter is the right size; the HOBO40 will be half-empty. If your typical trip is a week, the Overnighter will be cramped.
HOBO40 Original vs Imported 40L Travel Bags
Osprey Farpoint 40 (Rs 11,000+) and Deuter AViant Carry On 38 (Rs 12,000+) are the closest international alternatives. The original HOBO40 at Rs 3,699 is one-third the price. The international brands offer slightly more refined details and global service centres. For Indian travellers who don't need international warranty service, the HOBO40 closes most of the functional gap at one-third the cost.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the original HOBO40 and the HOBO40 V2.0?
The V2.0 adds an aluminium back frame, a wider padded hip belt, a rear-access laptop compartment, and refined pocket layout. The original has the foam-only back panel and legacy hip belt. The V2.0 is Rs 800 more (Rs 4,499 vs Rs 3,699).
Is the original HOBO40 still available?
Yes, in the Grey-Black colourway specifically. CarryPro keeps the original model in production for buyers who want the legacy formula at a lower price.
Does the original HOBO40 fit cabin baggage?
Yes, on all Indian airlines (55 x 40 x 20 cm) and most international carriers. The 7 kg cabin weight limit is the practical constraint when packed for longer trips.
What size laptop fits the original HOBO40?
Up to 15.6 inches in the laptop compartment. For 16-inch laptops, the HOBO40 V2.0 with its larger rear-access sleeve is the right CarryPro choice.
Does the original HOBO40 come with a rain cover?
Yes. A fitted rain cover and a small waist pouch are both included.
Is it good for trekking?
For organised treks with light to moderate loads (6-8 kg), yes. For loads above 8 kg or heavy expedition use, the V2.0's aluminium frame holds the load more rigidly.
What is the warranty?
2-year manufacturer warranty (730 days) — identical to the V2.0's warranty.
Why is the original cheaper than the V2.0?
The original uses the legacy back panel (foam only) and hip belt design. The V2.0 adds an aluminium frame and upgraded hip belt, which justifies the Rs 800 premium for users carrying heavier loads or using the bag heavily.
