Summary:Backpacks, book bags and day packs have advantages over conventional luggage in that the user's hands are free from carrying the backpack since the backpack is carried on the back of the user. However, this places the backpack out of line of sight from the user, and thus subjects the user to pickpocket or other thieves accessing goods carried in the backpack. The inventive backpack disclosed herein limits access to the packing compartment of the backpack ( 2 ) by continuing the zipper tracks ( 20, 56 ) for those compartments ( 12, 50 ) and terminating them on the back face ( 6 ) of the backpack which is normally contacting the upper back of the user. These zipper tracks terminate in a pouch ( 22 ) secured by a releasable closure, such as a hook and loop fastener ( 29 ). This pouch is primarily defined by a flap ( 28 ) which is covered by or constructed of the same padded textile material that covers the back face of the backpack to provide comfort to the user. Thus, the backpack is not easily opened by sneak thieves.
