Manbags on the up for gadget-lovers

4 out of 10 items in average man's bag is tech gadget.

By Cbr Rolling Blog

CBR has already informed you of the booming manbag trend to accommodate men’s needs to carry their gadgets around with them.

It seems that as more gadgets become available the numbers continue to soar as over half of British men now carry a manbag.
According to a survey by Voucher Codes 4 out of 10 of the top items men carry with them in their man bags are tech gadgets.

Top 10 items men regularly carry in their manbag:
1. Wallet
2. Smartphone
3. Headphones
4. Glasses
5. Mac, laptop or tablet
6. Aftershave
7. Digital camera
8. Chewing gum
9. Umbrella
10. Filofax

Anita Naik, consumer editor of Vouchercodes.co.uk, commented: "The research shows men are starting to embrace the manbag and recognise the practical benefits of carrying everything in one place, especially with expensive tech to carry around every day."

With all these valuable gadgets, the average man is now carrying around £880.27 of ‘essentials.’

The extortionate cost of essentials may be why two thirds of men opt for a bag for security over simply uising their pockets.
