Abstract
A backpack including a body having a back surface configured to be positioned adjacent to a back of a wearer when the backpack is worn. The body further includes a front surface at least partially spaced away from the back surface to at least partially define an inner cavity therebetween. The backpack has a storage component positioned within the inner cavity and at least one shoulder strap coupled to the body and positionable over a shoulder of a wearer. The backpack further has a releasable fastener that is movable to an open position to provide access to the inner cavity and movable to a closed position to block access to the inner cavity. The back surface includes a hinge about which the back surface is predisposed to bend, and the backpack is configured such that when the releasable fastener is in the open position at least part of the back surface is pivotable about the hinge to provide access to the inner cavity. The hinge is positioned below the storage component.
