Flo Backpack Looks Like Star Wars Bounty Hunter
The Flo backpack is a modular, ergonomic, and performance strength bag perfect for city trips to all day hikes. The rigid thermofoam bags come in three flavors; the urban day pack, the weekender, and the 5-day trekker – that quickly snap into the universal Flo frame. Made of lightweight molded plastic, the frame features large air channels to maintain breathability and a flexible core for unrestricted mobility.
One question, where does my Nintendo DS and iPod go?

No you people, it isn’t for sale. It’s a Student project.
Give Ivan $20,000 and he can start up production on these backpacks for a price of roughly $300-$400 per pack. I am a professional BP designer, and that is a very fair cost estimate for a bag that is not tried and true, no warranty, and would be extremely heavy. Molded plastic suspension? Ouch. It may even be $500 or $600 per bag. Look at some other innovative, warrantied, and real backpacks on the market.

AG:
That is a gasket opening for quick stow items, not a 1/4 zip. The top panel flips up for access to the main compartment.
The frame has a flexible core that moves with the user, hence the ergonomics.
The real idea here is Modularity — a universal frame with multiple bags. This is one interpretation of that idea. I also wanted to maximize Breathability by separating the suspension from the bag. The suspension would have a foam overmold for comfort.
And YES, this is a CONCEPT. The design would obviously change for a production pack that included the conceptual ideas. I’m sure as a designer you understand this AG, but thanks for the rip!
Ernie says
love the pack bro!
Ibanzor says
You couldnt create a laptop bag like this could you,like a waterproof hardshell that actually looks good and can protect my macbook pro…
all the other ones at the moment dont have enough padding, are too heavy, too big or cant carry anything apart from the laptop, and it would need to be waterproof or at least resistant so you can walk in the rain.
