"In a research study, middle school students exhibited a more balanced posture using AirPacks, than using traditional packs. Balanced posture leads to decreased muscle stress and strain. The students also preferred the AirPacks to the traditional pack they were carrying."

"Optimal health begins at a very early age. It has been shown how much damage a backpack can do to a developing spine. As a father and a Chiropractic Physician, my children will use AirPacks only."

"I found it significantly reduced the pressure on the shoulders and lumbar spine compared to other ordinary packs."

"AirPacks care and concern for the public's spinalhealth is matched only by their breakthrough ergonomic technology and commitment to design excellence!"

"We the undersigned, tested the AirPacks backpack against non air packs backpacks on July 27, 2000 using the "Pocket Ergometer" as the test instrument. The "Pocket Ergometer" is a training devise which detects muscle functioning. It is used to train individuals about how to reduce Repetitive Stress Injuries (RSI) by reducing muscle stress and strain.

We placed 18 lb.s of books in the non-AirPack backpacks then placed these packs on test subjects. The Ergometer electrodes were placed across the trapezius muscles. Several readings were taken with the instrument. The same books were then placed in an AirPacks backpack and again multiple readings were taken. The results of this testing with 20 patients showed that significant reduction in trapezius muscle function (less stress and strain) was recorded when the AirPack backpacks were utilized."

"Initial biomedical testing indicates that the AirPacks backpack, with its innovative design and use of air, shifts the weight to the lumbar and hip area. This reduces strain on the neck, shoulders and back."

"I've been recommending AirPacks to my patients. The AirPacks system centers the weight, balances impact and provides superior ergonomic support."

"The design of these backpacks reduces compressional loading of the acromio-clavicular joints to reduce the risk of impingement problems and redistributes spinal loading to be primarily born in the hips, resulting in significantly diminished back strain."
