Abstract

This invention relates to a backpack having a combination waist-encircling belt, belt storage compartment and closure therefor characterized by a pouch open at both ends secured to the front panel of the pack, sections of a waist-encircling belt fastened alongside the open pouch ends positioned and adapted for insertion into the latter. The invention also encompasses a construction in which elements of a two part fastener are carried by the belt sections and pouch which move into a juxtaposed mating relationship thus defining closures for the open end pouch when the belt sections are stowed. The invention further encompasses an improved anatomically-contoured waist-encircling belt for use with backpacks, both frameless and with frames.
