Lightning Packs introduces its brand new HoverGlide backpack, coined as the world's first ever floating backpack. The concept of the latest piece is to take off the weight that it strains on the body with every step. The backpack uses a unique double-frame and pulley system to reduce the stress of weight that affects the back, knees, neck, and ankle when walking or running. This system incorporates bungee cords to suspend the weight from the structural frame to allow it to slide vertically along to stay in place as the wearer moves around. The result of this reduces its vertical moment and the vertical force to lighten the overall weight, enabling comfortable travel and reducing the risk of injury.
The HoverGlide packs are available in four different styles that range from 28 to 55 liters -- with the smaller packs boasting a 20-inch frame system and the larger one with a 24-inch frame system. The company will begin taking pre-orders through its Kickstarter campaign in the upcoming weeks.
