Abstract
A backpack comprises base, back, lateral side, top as well as first and second overlying front panels. The outside one of the front panels is congruent with the back panel. The other, interior front panel has a lesser height than the back panel thereby permitting ingress to the interior of the backpack through both the top as well as the front when the outside panel is released from attachment to the side and top panels.
