The modern consumer lifestyle has mostly become centered on mobile technology, so the conceptual 'Flash' backpack has been designed to help keep it powered up at all times. Suitable for use when hitting a trail or hiking out into the bush, the backpack incorporates solar panels on the sides that will draw energy from the sun as you go to provide power to your devices as you go. This could also be used to keep solutions like flashlights or heaters up and running without the need for fuel.
The conceptual 'Flash' backpack is the design work of Arun Kumar Singh and speaks to the growing popularity of outdoor activities as consumers seek out ways to get back to nature without fully disconnecting.
