Problems solved by technology

While these earlier backpacks and vests met some of the needs of users for their specific functions in the past, still other desirable functions were not met.

Also, previous attempts may fail to accommodate any size for a given user (a one size fits all unit).

Not to be forgotten is the fact that over time, new devices have been created that these previous attempts could not have anticipated and thus, to accommodate demands for a backpack or vest that may assist users with such devices has never been attempted.
