Airbak Backpack
Did you know that there are more than 15,000 school backpack related injuries every year? If you’ve picked up your child’s backpack on an average evening, you may not find that hard to believe!
Airbak is a new backpack invention that uses a patented, built-in air cushion technology to prevent back stress and make wearers feel as if they are carrying half the weight or less, as well as protecting the backpack contents, such as a laptop and other valuable gear. Simply pump the air pocket to the desired level, taking only seconds, and the Airbak’s inflated air pockets surround the contents with a shield of air and allow the pack to spread the weight more evenly throughout the back than a standard backpack, with the majority of the weight distributed to the core muscles of the hips and waist and resting easily on the top of the wearer’s gluteal muscles (rear end).
Airbak backpacks come in a variety of colors and styles and retail for $49.99 at http://www.airbak.com/
Win an Airbak for yourself!
