Newly Invented Slim Pack Is The Backpack Of The Future
Technology has taken us a long way in recent years, but one thing that hasn't changed is the way we carry all of our new technological tools and gadgets. Yes, there are items specifically designed to hold and carry certain technological tools, but backpack technology has not evolved. Until now, that is. Enter Dave Zuverink, creator of the Slim Pack, which is poised to be the next big thing in backpacks following a KickStarter campaign that has already raised five times its pledged goal.
Zuverink is an accomplished entrepreneur who has already run two successful Kickstarter campaigns, most notably the SlimFold wallet. The idea for the Slim Pack came from Zuverink having a list of preferences a mile long for what he wanted in a backpack. When his wife gave him a backpack for Christmas that fulfilled most of his wishes but not all, he still wasn't satisfied. He looked into the problem and discovered that most backpacks are produced by the same factories, giving bags from different brands more similarities than differences.
He soon realized that if he was ever going to get the kind of backpack he's always wanted, he would have to create it himself. Zuverink thought about his own wish list for what a backpack should be and also listened to feedback from many of those who bough a SlimFold wallet from him. He took that information and started drawing in his sketchbook, trying to create the ideal backpack. After roughly two years and more than 100 prototypes, the Slim Pack, a backpack designed for commuters, finally became a reality.
Just as Zuverink wanted, the Slim Pack is lighter than most modern backpacks, but it is also strong enough to carry everything you need over the course of a day, whether you're going to the office or taking the day off to go on a hike. The bag's main pocket is able to carry a 15” laptop, while its front pocket is designed to fit an iPad. There is also plenty of room for your other accessories, like your camera or a set of portable speakers.
In addition to having the strength to carry everything you need, the Slim Pack is also designed to allow for easy access to the contents of the bag, so you can quickly grab what you need in a flash. The bag includes a padded divider that can be removed so bigger items can fit in the Slim Pack without any issues. Carrying around everything in the bag is easy with the ergonomic shoulder straps that are not only padded for comfort, but that also adjust to you as you move, so the bag will feel comfortable whether you're walking, hiking, or riding your bike. There's even a pocket for your coffee or water bottle, which was one of the many features Zuverink insisted having on his ideal backpack.
Finally, much like the SlimFold wallet, the Slim Pack is durable and meant to last. It is made of Soft Shell material that is designed for use with motorcycles, as it is more durable than most types of leather. The material is also eco-friendly, as it's also utilized by some of the most environmentally progressive companies in the apparel industry. Most importantly, the Slim Pack is made of waterproof material, allowing it to withstand even the heaviest of rain storms without causing damage to the items inside. With all that and more, the Slim Pack may very well be the backpack of the future for commuters everywhere.
