Testimonials from travelers

BackTpack is perfect for record collecting! It has room to carry round 80 records on your body (perfect for gigs in bars where you cannot afford a cab). Even if it’s filled, you can still sit or kneel down and dig in crates. It’s handy for traveling (it qualifies as a personal item on airlines, so you can bring an additional carry-on). You can ride a bike without it getting in your way. I am a fan.

I bought the BackTpack several years ago and have used it as a work bag, travel bag, and bike bag. It works. It’s lightweight yet really durable. Over a period of years the only significant issue was a chest clip that needed replacing and the company sent me one as soon as I told them about it. The thing I like the most though is the fact that it’s really helped prevent some back and shoulder problems I was having that were in good part due to carrying too heavy of a backpack. The way the BackTpack balances the load and avoids stressing my shoulders is awesome. And it works great as an airline carry-on because it holds a bunch of stuff but still fits really nicely under an airline seat. Sweet.

Both Alepo and I attended the 2018 California Council of the Blind conference and convention held on March 21st-26th, 2018 in Sacramento, California where I met Marilyn M von Foerster, PT who was promoting her BackTpack, which is actually “side-packs” that make carrying anything much easier for individuals, such as me.

This was especially helpful for me, as I hold my canine partners harness with my left-hand and his gentle leader in my right-hand, which makes carrying things very difficult for me. But, the BackTpack takes away any hurdles and carrying becomes, so easy to accomplish. They can be especially helpful to assistance dog teams.

I have used traditional backpacks my whole life. As a 24 year old, I started to become more aware of the need to protect my body from the negative effects associated with bad posture brought on from backpacks which hurt my shoulders and cause my back to hurt. After much research, I found the BackTpack, and I was amazed by the design. I have stopped using traditional backpacks altogether and have used the BackTpack on a daily basis. The design is incredible and really helps me carry my things in a much more natural fashion. Its such a versatile product, and it is a wonderful product that has really helped my shoulders and my back feel free from pain associated with regular backpacks in the marketplace. If your looking for a truly unique backpack that is actually good for your back and shoulders, this is it!

I have had a BackTpack 4 for over three years. I bought it after I found a traditional backpack, which I had migrated to due to shoulder pain from an overly heavy purse, awkward. BackTpack allows me to stand erect. I can easily reach my wallet while in a store. I use my BackTpack on a daily basis for travel, work, and pleasure. The compartments are a generous size, allowing me to carry my latest knitting project, a tablet, a book, a folder for my next meeting, and all the contents of a traditional purse. I like that the straps can be “tucked in” and the handle snapped together for a “brief case” look once I arrive at my meeting location. I like this product so much, I just ordered a second one!
