About the Backpack
A backpack is a fabric bag worn on the back and held on by two straps that loop over the shoulders. Sharing the load across both shoulders makes it easier to carry books and gear than a bag held in one hand. Larger hiking packs even add a frame to shift the weight onto the hips. Wind through the straps and pockets of this backpack maze, a handy fit for a first-day-of-school activity.
- A backpack spreads its weight across both shoulders.
- Big hiking packs use a frame to move the load onto the hips.
