A backpack for relieving stress, weight, and pressure from a user's back, comprising:
- a backpack for storing items, having a top, at least one forward panel to face the user's back, sides, and bottom, and, an outer surface;
- at least one adjustable shoulder strap extending from about the top to about the bottom of the backpack, for enabling the positioning of the backpack on the user's back and, for carrying the backpack over the user's shoulders;
- said backpack further having at least one first compartment for removable content, and at least one second compartment for at least one cushioning bladder, and wherein at least one rigid layer sheet separates at least a portion of said at least one first compartment from said at least one second compartment;
- said at least one second compartment having a substantially upwardly extending portion, and a substantially horizontal extending portion;
- said at least one cushioning bladder having a lower part extending across and beneath the bottom of said at least one first compartment, within said at least one second compartment, and,
- said at least one cushioning bladder having an upper part extending part-way upwardly along said forward panel along at least a portion of a vertical wall of said first compartment, and within said at least one second compartment;
- and
- wherein said rigid layer sheet inside said backpack bifurcates said backpack into said at least one first compartment for the storing of said removable content, and into said at least one second compartment for the accommodation of said at least one cushioning bladder, and wherein said at least one second compartment has at least one first portion and at least one second portion, and wherein said at least one second compartment is shaped in a generally shaped configuration having said at least one first portion that extends along said upper part extending part-way upwardly along said forward panel, and said at least one second portion that extends along said lower part extending across and beneath the bottom of said backpack, and wherein at least a portion for said cushioning bladder resides in said at least one first portion of said second compartment, and at least a portion of said cushioning bladder resides in said at least one second portion of said second compartment.
