The Air Pack by Trexad is one such product that is dedicated to providing the traveling consumer with an [expandable solution](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultix-outdoors-superpack) for unpractical and uncomfortable design. The inflatable backpack features a patent-pending air-cushioned support system that distributes the load and "drastically reduces stress and strain on your back, shoulders, and neck." For those who think that having to inflate a carry-all is straining, needless and time-consuming, Trexad tweaks the design so that the product can be fully functional after "just one breath." When not in use, the inflatable backpack can be reduced to a [small lightweight ball](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanobag-1) that contributes to the overall convenience and portability of the product's smart design. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 92% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Inflatable Backpacks:** The trend of inflatable backpacks provides a solution for unpractical and uncomfortable designs, allowing for expandable and convenient options for travelers. - **Air-cushioned Support Systems:** The trend of air-cushioned support systems in backpacks reduces stress and strain on the back, shoulders, and neck, providing a more comfortable carrying experience. - **Compact and Portable Designs:** The trend of compact and portable inflatable backpacks allows for easy storage and transport when not in use, enhancing convenience and functionality. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Travel and Outdoor Gear:** The travel and outdoor gear industry can benefit from the innovative design of inflatable backpacks by offering more comfortable and convenient options for travelers. - **Health and Wellness:** The health and wellness industry can explore the use of air-cushioned support systems in various products to improve comfort and reduce strain on the body. - **Product Packaging:** The product packaging industry could utilize the compact and portable design of inflatable backpacks for efficient and space-saving packaging solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Compression Backpack Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airback-flex.md) - [Airbag-Deploying Travel Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stan-airbag.md) - [Featherweight Packable Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/featherweight-packable-backpack.md) - [Inflatable Infant Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inflatable-baby-carrier.md) - [Consummate Carry-On Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/international-travel-backpack.md) - [Ultra-Lightweight Foldable Waterproof Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldable-waterproof-backpack.md) - [Ultra-Compact Backpack Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanobag-daypack.md) - [Customizable Expansion Traveler Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nectrum-wingpack.md) - [Adaptable Three-in-One Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultix-outdoors-superpack.md)
