Abstract

See full text

Backpacks, even those for outdoors sports, generally comprise an envelope of relatively flaccid textile material attached to a structured back-engaging frame, board or pad. Extreme sports such as skiing, motorbike racing, snow boarding, heli-skiing and such would benefit from greater protection to the person's back, as well as to the contents of the backpack. The disclosed backpack 2 includes a segmented and shaped back board 40 which permits limited flexing in certain directions to help protect the user's back from overextension. The container or packing portion 24 of the backpack 2 has corresponding rigid segments 16 interconnected by flexible textile portions 20. The segmented packing portion 24 and the segmented safety board 40 work together to protect both the contents of the backpack 2 and the back of the user.
