The Speed Pac hard-shell backpack is made from high-impact ABS plastic with a carbon fiber look finish. Its tough hard shell can protect your valuable contents like radios, MP3 players, pda's, cameras, and glasses. This hard-shell also protects your back from sharp contents like your pet rattlesnakes fangs.

Speed Pac's hard "Faux Carbon Fiber Finish" shell made from high impact plastic can protect your valuables far better than cloth backpacks, after all you don't wear a cloth helmet. With today's tech toys like digital cameras, mp3 players, Discman, PDA, and cell phone you can easily be carrying hundreds of dollars worth of fragile gear. Speed Pac hard-shell backpack provides extreme protection for everything you need to carry.

SpeedPack's reinforced steel pinned hinge is tough, durable and never needs lubrication.

The same aerodynamic engineering that goes into a super bike led to the Speed Pac's patented aerodynamic shape. That's why jets are smooth and round not shaped like a square cloth bag. The SpeedPac hard-shell backpack was created to smooth airflow around and over your back, this increases your speed with less effort. It also increase air flow between the backpack and the wearer's back keeping it cool and dry. The aggressive style of the Speed Pac hard-shell backpack looks just as good as your sports gear.

The engineering of the Speed-Pac hard-shell back pack's aerodynamics are based on wind tunnel model testing. By eliminating pressure drag a bicyclist, skater, or skier will lower his wind resistance and drag. The Speed Pac helps the wind go around the wearer; meaning: less effort for more speed.

Cloth is used to soak up water, just like a rag. Conventional backpacks do just that in the rain or snow. Speed Pac's are water tight with a seal around the clamshell opening. Keep your valuables safe and dry in a Speed Pac hardshell backpack.

The all-weather SpeedPac hardshell backpack is waterproof, keeping the rain and snow out of your backpack. So if your on the slopes or at the beach you know your lunch will never be soggy.

Ever wonder why cloth backpacks are the way they are? Conventional backpacks are ugly, heavy, uncomfortable, sweaty and don't really protect your stuff from damage or weather. The revolutionary new Speed Pac hard-shell backpack breaks this traditional legacy. Speed Pac hard-shell backpack has six ergonomically located soft cushions, that raise the backpack off your back allowing cool, dry air to move between you and the backpack. This "No Sweat" design keeps you and your backpack dry and comfortable. The rigid structure of the hard shell SpeedPac also acts as a back support, improving posture rather than pulling down on the back; as soft backpacks do.

The extra long waist strap secures the hard shell Speed Pac backpack for even the most active athletes. It also eliminates wind buffeting to cyclists and snow mobilers at high speeds. Quick adjustable straps let you secure the back pack and get just the right fit.

Regular bulky cloth backpacks sit flat against your back. In a very short time your back is hot, sweaty and sticky. SpeedPac's patented "No Sweat" air flow system incorporated soft cushions to raise the backpack off your back, these aerodynamically shaped cushions draw air in and around your back keeping it cool and dry.

The hardshell SpeedPac's extra wide padded shoulder straps prevent the "cutting" and "digging in" that narrower straps do. Two plastic non corroding hooks are provided for adding accessories and things. The tops strap forms a convenient carrying handle that gives you the freedom to hold onto it off your back. The extra long waist band strap keeps the backpack secure at the even the highest speeds. 
This prevents wind flapping and buffeting, there's nothing worse than being slapped by your own backpack.
