Back pain relief for a student
"When I used the conventional backpack, I experienced back pain frequently, and was always overloading my backpack with books and binders. Within the first three days of using the BackTpack, my back pain was almost entirely gone, and has since completely disappeared. I can also carry the same amount, without walking around hunched over. I would recommend the BackTpack to everyone, especially to those experiencing any sort of back pain."

Back pain relief for a physician and mother
"After two poor-outcome lumbar back surgeries in four years, I found out on my own how difficult it is to carry possessions in a traditional backpack, purse, briefcase or bag. The BackTpack is just great! I can wear it in the car, keep it on when I sit, load and unload when it's on, and even carry my laptop without low back pain. I haven't had any problems with thoracic or cervical strain, and no difficulty changing positions while wearing it. I have already been talking to patients and friends about the BackTpack, because my personal experience with it has been so positive. I hope to get my four children out of their unwieldy backpacks soon, and have encouraged them to try the BackTpack."

Back pain relief, and a good pack for working with a guide dog
I got your product from someone who had bought a number to resell. I've had it since mid June and have to say that it's an incredible product!

I have arthritis and deteriorative disk disease in my neck and upper spine, c6 through T4. This came about as a result of carrying heavy computer bags and other equipment improperly.

This pack allows me to carry all of my stuff easily and end the day with little to no pain at all. Any pain is a result of other activities.

I've taken the pack to trade shows where I am carrying equipment, at times heavy equipment, in it and have had no issues with my neck and upper spine as a result.

I love the many compartments too! I've received zillions of comments when I fly about this pack from flight crews. Now I know where to tell them to get it!

I also work with a guide dog. this means that not every pack is going to work because in my left hand, I hold the harness handle. I'm sure you have heard from many guide dog handlers about the problems we have with our necks, shoulders and so forth, and finding a proper bag that looks good and works well is hard. Well, I know I've found my carrying system in your product!

Thanks for doing such a great job with it.

Comfortable for kids
"It's comforting to know I am not damaging my back. I love how I can sit with the pack on while I'm on my way to school."

Fun to wear!
"I love how the pack feels on. My old backpack hurt my back. I also like the pockets and all the different colors are fun!"

Good school bag & unusual use
Stephanie, 16, is very happy using the BackTpack for school and for carrying two Papillon dogs weighing 5 pounds each.

Good for riding bike
"My old backpack just weighed me down and half the time, it was resting on the back tire when I rode my bike. My backpack even got a hole where it was resting on the bike tire. It just got too hard for me to ride my bike so I stopped. With my BackTpack, I can put my binder on one side and my clarinet on the other. It's easier to pedal so I'm riding my bike to school again."
- Stuart N.

Better posture
"More weight feels like less weight. I have no more back pain. It used to hurt when I had tons of stuff in my backpack. I can do sprints with it on. I used to have to take my backpack off to run. I like the pockets. It is something new at our school and other people want them. I stand up straight instead of slouched."
