Compression Backpack Designs

The Airback FLEX Fits Under the Seat on Airplanes

The Airback FLEX backpack is a different kind of luggage design engineered with the needs of frequent flyers to help them eliminate the need for checked baggage or dealign with overhead bins. The backpack works by utilizing a compression functionality on the inside where it will decrease load sizes by as much as 50%, which will thus enable it to be stowed under the seat on an airplane. The pack is paired with comfortable straps for wear on the back, but also has wheels to be easily pulled when required.

The Airback FLEX backpack has a water-resistant design, TSA-approved lock and has a laptop compartment for fitting devices up to 15-inches in size. The pack also has odor-free pockets for storing shoes or toiletries.
