Problems solved by technology

However, this assembly process can be expensive.
The separate components are stitched together manually, meaning there are significant labour costs.
Also, during manual assembly of the rucksacks it can be difficult to align the components accurately and reliably, potentially resulting in inconsistent products.
Further, seams can represent a point of weakness and potential failure, so the greater the number of seams required, the greater the potential for failure of the pack....

Embodiment Construction

)

[0059]Referring to FIG. 1, a rucksack is indicated generally at 10. The rucksack 10 comprises a storage compartment 12, the storage compartment 12 having a rear face 14. In this embodiment, a harness 16 forms part of a back system 17, the back system 17 being attached to the rear face 14 of the storage compartment 12.

[0060]The harness 16 has a back portion 18 which is generally planar and extends substantially vertically in use. The back portion 18 is attached to the storage compartment at top and bottom ends of the rear face 14. The rear face 14 of the storage compartment forms a bowed arrangement with the rest of the back system 17, to define an air gap between the back portion 18 and the rear face 14 of the rucksack 10 when the back system 17 is attached to the rucksack 10. The rear face 14 can be provided with a spacing apparatus in the form of at least one resilient stiffening element 26 that extends at least part of the length of the rear face 14. In use, the back portion 18 ...
