ADVANCED BACKPACK SYSTEM

摘要

An integrated backpack system (100) including an integrated hydrating frame (150) for storing liquid and providing a substantially rigid support to the backpack. A harness (201, 202, 203, 204, 205) releasably secures the frame t o the backpack. A movable pouch (280) connected to the backpack with a shock cord (282) moves from a storage position to an accessible position. A slidab le pouch (240) slides along a second belt (241) between a storage position and an accessible position as well. A weight supporting and ventilation system (180 ) shifts the weight of the backpack and its contents to the user's waist and hips and provides an airway for ventilation between the backpack and the user's back.
