    Fairyland by non-walkers (aka hopeless academics).
    They aim to reduce the load on your back by adding a whole lot of extra weight.
    Yeah, right.

    A solution in search of a problem that does not actually exist.

    Hey, with the right pricepoint and enough hype, someone is going to be laughing all the way to the bank, retiring early, and hiking til their heart’s content…likely with a regular pack.

    Reminds me of another proposal, to use the ‘bounce’ of the pack from the spring in your step to recharge your phone. You just needed to add 5 or 10 kg of generator to your pack.

    From memory (which is poor), a full day’s walking might replace the charge used for one phone call.

    Cheers
