1.0 out of 5 stars great design but very poor quality materials, May 9, 2009

This review is from: COR818BLKGRY: AirPacks System Backpack (Office Product)

We bought our first airpack for our son three years ago and the pack was great. The weight distribution really works wonders to keep much of the weight off of his shoulders. The pack held up well with the exception of the air bladder which broke twice. The pack is not much use without the bladder.

Fast forward to the present. we bought two more of these packs in August 2008 based on our good experience with the first sample. The current models are horrible. The zippers broke within the first month. the materials have been replaced with cheap nylon that ripped from normal (not abusive usage) and the shoulder straps constantly slip and get longer requiring constant adjustment. Our first pack lasted over two years and these current packs have fallen apart after two months. Airpacks did replace the packs with the defective zippers but the replacements were no better. We have since dumped the packs and have moved onto Jansport packs which last forever but don't have the very innovative weight redistribution system that works wonders on the airpacks.

In summary, the airpacks concept is fantastic but they need to dump their current manufacturer and find a quality manufacturer with quality materials. Until they do, don't buy it. You will not be happy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Met My High Expectations, January 14, 2008

The 13-year-old user of this backpack claims, "It's A LOT better than a regular backpack. Everything is easier to carry." It was obvious that lugging excessive amounts of weight was going to cause wear and tear on the back. So as parent, I feel good knowing I've done something proactive that will hopefully allow my son to avoid back pain problems.

This review is from: AirPacks Ergonomic Backpack Blue Large

This back pack is amazing in it's ability to distribute the weight of a heavy pack. 30 pounds feels like 10 pounds as the weight is mostly transfered to the small of your back. It is hard to describe how well this pack works.

I called the company to suggest that they make camera backpacks, which can be very heavy with equipment. My camera pack weighs 30 pound and it is a pain to carry on your shoulder for extended periods, This technology should be applied to all back packs.

great product!
