LiftPack Travel Backpack

LiftPack is the ultimate travel backpack. More than 20,000 backpack-related injuries were treated at hospital emergency rooms in 2005, many of them incurred while traveling. LiftPack alleviates back stress through patented, built-in air bladder technology, making wearers feel as if they are carrying half the weight or less. While wearers of standard backpacks must strain their upper back, shoulders and spinal muscles, the LiftPack makes the weight rest on the top of the wearer's gluteal muscles (rear end), padded with a cushion of air. This allows the wearer to keep normal body posture and spinal alignment and relax comfortably in an upright position rather than being hunched over.

Also, while standard backpacks cause the weight to knock against the wearer's back with each step, the LiftPack's air bladder cushions the back from any impact, absorbing the shock before it can cause any discomfort. Easy to use for anyone, the LiftPack adjusts to any body type. Wearers need only pump the air system to a desired level of comfort and walk at ease. LiftPack retails for $39.95 and can be purchased online at www.liftpack.com or at retail stores.
