Starting with charging, the 'Lifepack' features a built-in solar panel to help harness the sun's rays when performing the daily commute or walking around a new city.

A built-in locking mechanism allow users to lock up the 'Lifepack' to a chair or table while they grab a bite to ensure a thief doesn't make off with their gear.

Hidden compartments, protective space for your laptop and a rain-repellant design round the 'Lifepack' travel backpacks off to be a winner for digital creatives and travelers.
