An inflatable backpack can satisfy a variety of functional needs. 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.
