This multifunctional backpack is the perfect travel companion. Whether you are on a road trip or stuck at the airport, the Windcatcher Air Pakk is a three-in-one bag, travel pillow and inflatable pad. Currently seeking finances via crowdfunding platform Kickstarter, Ryan Frayne intends this product to be used alongside his successfully funded Windcatcher AirPad 2.
When the two Windcatcher products are used with each other, the multifunctional backpack becomes a lounge chair and footrest too. Perfect for camping (whether you are outdoors or going through a gruelling exam period), the Air Pakk inflates on both sides from 0.5 to 2 inches so your belongings are protected. Unfolded, the backpack becomes a padded seat or fully extends to create a comfy travel pillow or something to lie down on.
