An ordinary backpack carrying expensive gadgets, important documents, and paperwork is vulnerable to theft as the owner is mostly on the move. To provide security, the backpack includes a cable lock, which can either lock the zipper on the bag to prevent opening by strangers, or it can secure the bag by tying it to static and solid objects. It reduces chances of grab-and-dash theft too.

The Lifepack was designed and developed by Solgaard Design. The team had raised a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, seeking $20,000 in funding. No surprise, the campaign collected more than $150,000 with 41 days remaining.

The cost for students with ID is $125, while others would have to pay about $149 for it. The retail pricing is set at $249. The shipping is expected to start in October.

Lifepack’s success and need can be accessed from the response it received on its crowdfunding campaign. Minimal design makes it adorable and energy generation capacity makes it capable of keeping almost every gadget juiced up while the user is on the go.
